I can not overstate that this trend can be reversed on a dime if 3 men (Ellison, Zuckerberg, Musk) decide to
It involves one internal policy choice and hiring like 12 ppl. This is not a dreamy case of “if everyone just”…it’s truly 3 guys deciding to…and one is already on board
Drastically reducing anti-Jew content on social media is very simple: 1) Downvote its content from top 20-2,000 creators, reward their other content 2) Boost content *adjacent* to Zionism (eg Muslik rape gangs) 3) Ban Fuentes/Tucker et al 4) Scour sites to remove all reposts
1. Going after the non-Fuentes creators with CARROTS & sticks is critical 1st step:
These creators are mercenaries. If they only get 5k views on content with 🇵🇸🧃mentions, but you elevate their posts NOT on this issue, you eliminate 80% of the problem off the bat
Over 24 months Israel degraded the axis of resistance in extreme ways. Nasrallah & the entirety of Hezbollah leadership is dead
Assad & Syria’s weapons caches are gone. The entirety of Hamas’ military leadership is dead. Iran’s missile & nuclear program severely degraded
Militarily Israel did about as well as could have realistically hoped for. KIAs of ~1,100 is a ridiculous kill ratio for destroying enormous amounts of capabilities in Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, Syria & Yemen
That no planes were lost either is an underrated W in far flung theaters
Nothing is going to happen. The RW accounts posting about “sleeping giants” fundamentally do not get *how* this state of affairs became routine…and thus can’t remedy it
Ofc the UK *should* respond to 100k rapes at hands of migrants with a reconquista & expulsion but cannot
It is unironically good for the US to adopt a jocular bellicosity. I will beat this drum 100x:
The US has been THE global empire for 80yrs. The equivalent of Rome in 50 BC (80yrs after the conquest of Greece…very analogous to Old World Western Europe)
I’ve spent a lot of tweets describing the elegance of this invisible empire that centers the USD while the US Navy acts as a menacing Lucco Brazza; looking in as you sign the papers
But this system no longer works b/c the world, and we as Americans have changed
Ppl critique Boomers for a lot but their foundational was pretending the spoils of empire they enjoyed more than anyone just came about…by chance? By magic?
There was (and is!) ZERO introspection by ppl over 60 about “where all this stuff & $ comes from”
Synergy means “greater than the sum of its parts”. It is the best way to understand Trump+New Media+2024…and why the last month *should* force Trump to obey the law and force a TikTok sale
Elon buying Twitter was a massively important development which led to this 🧵
1. By late 2023, Elon had fully put his thumb on the editorial scale of Twitter. It took some time but by summer 2024, it was *gauranteed* that pro-Trump, anti-Harris content would go viral DAILY
This was a massively boon to Rs who had zero 👍media except Fox News
This coup was critical b/c the trend of Twitter establishing news of day had been ongoing for several yrs. Musk bought a “mature” product and turned it to his own devices
…but there was a wrinkle. Musk personally RT’d a lot of ppl who were foriegn, malign actors or weirdos
The fulcrum event was Obama’s abandonment of Hosni Mubarak. A stalwart US ally, Mubarak was sacrificed on the pyre of “democracy”
Every single Arab leader was terrified; if Egypt could be abandoned to doe eyed ideals, what about us?
The Obama admin proceed to be strong when they should have been deferential (Libya, Syria) and weak when they should have been strong (Egypt, Yemen, Israel/Pal)
A rudderless, inconsistent approach to a region that *abhors* waffling
