When an information source is wrong 35% of the time, you have to check their work 100% of the time -- so you might as well do the work yourself to begin with.

Notice how hostile psyops and regime change attempts always boost right wingers? You never see attempts to weaken a country by installing left wing governments.
It's almost as if right wing ideology corrupts and debases any nation it's allowed into

Twitter had to turn off its location feature within hours because thousands of prominent and "verified" MAGA accounts turned out to be foreign and I think it's hilarious that Elon was the one who exposed them all

If you're trying to convince your friends to spend time on Bluesky rather than X, maybe show them this. X is not "the public town square" or about "free speech." It's "just what Elon Musk wants you to see." If you see stuff he doesn't like he'll step in to make sure you don't see it for long.
If you scroll on X, you are only being shown what Elon wants you to see. If you create content on X, no one will see it unless Elon wants them to.

The way the right immediately mobilized and created target lists of enemies to go after couldn't be a better illustration of how MAGA was born out of Gamergate and absolutely nothing has changed.
It was the same playbook they created to go after women and minorities for "ethics in video games."
