"With this latest document drop, it's clear that the terminally online outsider eco-system was not invisible to elite eyes. The wall between the system and the counter-system is far more porous than the mythology allows."

Cy's commentary is must-hear. If we're not actively making sure our evidence is clear and we're helping the right people, we're passive before an actively co-opting system.
Have I linked often enough to this clear forensic timeline of how quickly russian disinfo sites targeting westerners amplified QAnon in near synchrony? Hell no.
QAnon buried a nugget of truth inside a huge deflecting, destructive russian-backed psy-op.

Trump's acted like Putin's whipped puppy at Helsinki 2018 shortly after Epstein coached agent Churkin and Lavrov by extension on how to manipulate him.

If anyone's to live free outside of fascist "spheres of influence", with human rights and democracy secure in their lifetime, we need to understand the scale and severity of this threat. Hybrid warfare is 💯 warfare.
Only Ukraine is fighting back at the level it should.

"What looks like a war of ideas is often a struggle over who gets to monetize and direct your sense that something is deeply wrong. The fantasy of the online right is that they've broken out, that their boards and channels are ungovernable... the fantasy of mainstream culture is that it's neutral, centrist, and reasonable. Neither is true. Both are deeply structured by the same economic and technological logic."
"In that world, what we call counter-culture is in fact a managed volatility zone... a place where dissent can flare up and create a lot of spectacle and data, and then be channeled into outcomes that don't threaten the underlying arrangements of power..."
"So if authenticity itself is captured, what would it even mean to build something that isn't instantly fed back into the machine? One answer is about targets. As long as anger is directed at symbolic enemies... it's easy to redirect it. When it's aimed at concrete structures... it becomes harder to domesticate."

Watch who is actually fighting the crush of this system.
She just said it - one of the larger reasons why I'm calling my representatives to urge resumption of military aid for Ukraine, why I'm backing the groups that fight the white nationalist punch-downs in my country. You should too. Those who are marked for enslavement or erasure by power, are the people who've got our vital reality checks.
The battle over our futures doesn't get more concrete.

I haven't walked in the shoes of everyone I'm supporting here. I don't need to, to want justice for them. You shouldn't either.
