This is how it's been done all along. Remember, these are the gadflies and the grifters in every state, every county, every town. They are known quantities and always have been, and they're all connected up with each other now because of @Facebook's algorithms.
That gives the illusion of far more power, consensus, and "voice" among them than actually exists, and they know this and leverage it along with scolding, threats, and drowning out other voices. And so it ever was.
If you see me being strangely aggressive toward somebody, it's because I know them to be disinfo nodes or proxies. I've found that if you call them out at just the right time, you can sometimes interrupt some really bad shit propagandists are cooking up before it gains momentum

Sorry, had to delete the previous tweet because I confused Cordelia May, another terrible rich person, with the Mercers. She was the one who funded the reprint and distribution of "Camp of the Saints." Robert Mercer in fact funded Cambridge Analytica.
It's what I've been going on and on and on and on and ON about for years now. Passive eugenics. It's been baked into our immigration discussion by genocidaires from the get-go, because they grabbed control of the discourse early on. You have been lied to. We all have.
"Passive eugenics" is a philosophy championed by the guy who started the movement that took over the American immigration discussion in the 1970s after he read that execrable book, "The Population Bomb." He decided that the world was overpopulated. But only by certain people.
Hybrid warfare is the future, friends -- we had better start developing individual and cultural resilience now. We can do that by showing up for each other, having one another's back -- and by refusing to tolerate intolerance
There's no linguistic framework for this yet that I know of, so I'm giving it my own names. This, I call "radical compassion," though I'm sure there are better phrases. It's stepping up for others' humanity and ensuring freedom of speech for everyone -- not just the privileged.
It's being willing to not just preach compassion but to get out there and fight for it any way you can -- whether online or off. It's counter-protesting Nazis, or forming mutual aid networks, or taking over white supremacist hashtags to alter the algorithms. Proactive measures.
