Hello … I’m new and not sure how this all works … moving from twitter will never be x to me . I’m interested in politics and my family, my dog and my work … listen to James O’Brien so like the truth and that way inclined.

It makes a loot of sense.

The right wing grifter "voice" is easy to replicate and requires no credentials or skills beyond time, shamelessness, and cruelty.

Twitter payouts for a modestly successful account aren't enough to live off in California, but will feed a family of four in Rajasthan.
I see a lot of Paidchecks on X didn’t realize that a whole lot of people on social media lie about their location to grift off the naïveté of the rage-addled American right.

Turns out this problem is real and it’s a thing those of us who worked on “disinformation” pointed out.

Also hilarious, for want of a better word, that British ‘patriots’ are amplifying & funding foreign actors who live in unsafe countries & have never been near Britain slagging off Britain. Good old Elon.

Important not to overlook the fact that this bilge is amplified & disseminated by many prominent - and very real - racists who benefit financially, professionally & politically from the process.
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

The fact that the recent protests are all over dodgy YouTube accounts and everyone is carrying merch was a giveaway that they're bogus, like the Tommy Robinson -organised marches in UK.

Real, organic protests aren't tidily branded!

every time i squint at an exceedingly heartless comment and check the profile to see it's someone from the UK, i just want to hold up a mirror. and it's with everything: law and politics, human rights issues, even food costs. who taught a goldfish to type?! brexit happened this decade.

Musk turned on a feature on X that showed country of origin.

He disabled it a couple hours later when it was revealed how many MAGA accounts aren't in the U.S.

Foreign bot disinformation machines exposed.

Seems like Twitter could have done that feature 15 years ago & we wouldn't be here today.

So, to recap, just this week...

-- Trump's negotiators adopt Russia's "peace" (surrender) plan for Ukraine;

-- Farage's Reform UK colleague is sentenced to 10 years in prison for pro-Russia bribery;

-- Musk accidentally outs numerous "MAGA" accounts as Russian troll farms.

Stunning development: Senators now confirm the Trump admin’s 28-point “peace plan” for Ukraine wasn’t a U.S. plan at all. It was a Russian wish list. Follow along. This is crazy. 1/

Trump needs to be impeached, removed and arrested.
Republicans standing with him can leave with him.

A must read! ⬇️
Reposting this in light of Trump’s disgusting Piggy moment. Because his words weren’t just about silencing a female reporter, but also about doing so in the most demeaning way. Because Trump is a man who not just hates women, he actively wants to disempower them. open.substack.com/pub/ruthzaka...
Powerful Women and the Men Who Hate Them
This was another doozy of a week in Trump 2.0, and it’s impossible to notice every drop of water in the flood of news coming at us.
