Completely, fatally, horribly wrong and he should never be platformed again, yet alas
He was one of the original members of the #TantonNetwork

Check out the mention of the "Tragedy of the Commons" guy too, another nasty old racist who just made shit up to support his pre-existing beliefs
Got a citation for that too! aeon.co/essays/the-tra…
You could say that the moral of this is that humanity is what we believe ourselves to be -- so we should believe ourselves to be better than this stupid racist bullshit.

Yeah, that's the goal
I mean, what the fuck else would it be? These disinformation-purveying assholes only know one tune
Like, how could you look at those happy assholes and what they've been up for for the last, like, decade and conclude absolutely anything else? How??

There's one of those little poodles doing the bidding of his disinfo masters. See how it works? They get fed this nonsense by legislators and fart it out so that those same legislators can say that it's how "the public" feels.
My thread about it from yesterday here. (I meant Human Centipede and fucked it up)
But don't just take it from me

It also enabled @Meta to create profiles of those most receptive to toxic and damaging political and ideological messaging, flood them with weaponized lies, and put them in groups together to organize anti-democratic actions. Deliberately
Never forget what those fuckers tried to do to democracy, and never let them forget either. Disgusting, vile people. They spread toxic narratives with impunity to try to turn humans into weapons, and they succeeded. Without Facebook, the last decade would have been very different
Never, ever, ever forget. This was the true scandal and it's far from over nytimes.com/2018/03/20/tec…

And now the Human Caterpillar strategy of far right legislators slinging disinformation -> far right broadcasters -> policy should be clearer, no?
Aspiring or established lawmakers feed directions and narrative to their little broadcast poodles, who eat it up and shit it out for their audiences, who then react and give it the appearance (sorta) of authenticity where none ever existed. That's how they've done it all along.
Seems like it's not working so good any more though, huh? Seems like people are wising up, eh? Good. Keep it up everybody, you're doing amazing

Only tangentially related, but I watched this all the way through for the first time the other day and got curious about whether the village of Anatevka was real, so I looked it up and found a real surprise!
Here was the first part of the surprise. It exists! But look who was involved in creating it... (story from 2019) buzzfeednews.com/article/christ…
Founded in Ukraine in 2014. Wow, lots going on in Ukraine in 2014, huh? More here. What a mess. timesofisrael.com/inside-anatevk…

This makes me so goddamn angry. I did all I could to prevent this while the spineless "product managers" at @Meta gaslit me for years.

Well, you all saw it in real time on here for yourselves. Just disgusting, too, the way my colleagues in the fact-checking and journalism worlds went ahead and tossed me under the bus for Facebook's filthy money. Hope selling out for so little was worth it, you fucking hacks.
I'm not sure what this year will bring me career-wise. I am so burned out that I can barely write posts after all this. But I am sure as fuck not ever going to let anybody forget how badly they fucked up in the fact of a massive, ongoing disinformation attack. You assholes.
