Let’s start with a critical point:
Not all disordered discourse leads to institutional capture.
Some narratives, like Flat Earth or Bigfoot conspiracies, remain fringe, self-contained, and irrelevant to policy.
But others infiltrate formal institutions, and that’s where the danger escalates.

What if - and hear me out on this - algorithms are a way of suppressing voices and ideas that oligarchs don't like?

There is a non-zero chance that Trump decides to unilaterally seize some Canadian territory or to annex Greenland by diktat. It would be a mistake to treat these threats as idle boasts or jokes. Neither Canada nor Denmark are treating them as such.

Donald Trump says he thinks US will annex Greenland
Mr Trump questioned Denmark's claim to the territory, saying Denmark was "very far away" from Greenland despite being part of the country's kingdom.

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.
GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.
ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

THIS !!! Yelling as loud as I can:
Dear Non-Fascist Europeans,
The current US leaders believe they're allied with fascists inside your country against you, not allied with you against foreign invasion and threats to democracy.
I'm sorry, I wish it weren't true, but it is. You really need to adjust.
Sincerely,
Non-fascist Americans
