Vance's religious arc could not be more normal for a guy with a deep, I interrogated sense of insufficiency. Evangelical to Atheist to Catholic has nothing to do with the nature of the faith, and everything to do with which one lets him feel smarter and better than other people.

When the media and government move to demonise a minority it’s always noticeable how that minority gets denied the concept of including children or minors, as she was 17 at the time.
Father Ted co-creator Graham Linehan has been cleared of harassing a transgender activist, but was found guilty of criminal damage to her mobile phone.

The evolution of the BBC article on Graham Linehan's conviction and how it describes the trans victim of this crime is beyond atrocious. They actively went out of their way to dehumanize the victim here. They removed all pronouns for her and gendered honorifics such as "Ms."

Today I learned that stalking a 17 year old girl, writing up a 400 page 'dossier' about her, falsely reporting her to the police and smashing her phone does not constitute 'harassment'.

You’re not always arguing with a bot.
Sometimes you’re arguing with a 24 year old from Myanmar who was trafficked to Cambodia on the promise a decent job only to be held hostage and forced to produce and monetise click bait. And what drives the most traffic on these sites? Racism and misogyny.

Our digital lives increasingly trade on illusions - not least the illusion of audience and popularity, fuelled by the commercialisation of attention, and there are many nefarious actors who will go to great lengths to capitalise on that illusion. Including human trafficking and torture.

This isn’t to say that the far right isn’t real but that a lot of the illusion of its popularity stems from these scam compounds and their ability to rig specific parts of the online architecture - young men in search of affirmation and community, monetisation and advertising, and misogyny.

There is a whole underworld of exploited workers who make up the foundation of digital tech. We talk about content moderators, but content farms are also very exploitative industries where moderately educated people with reasonable English skills in the global majority are used to push content.
It may be hard to believe, but Twitter was once a useful public space instead of a weird monetization scheme for racist ragebait chatbots.
