@Tarnport The wealthy #American on a Roman holiday who ‘made’ $45k in a day on the #StockMarket better hope than an #ICE officer checking passports while not getting paid didn’t see their bragging post on #SocialMedia. Otherwise, that paper profit could easily be wiped-out by real money paid in legal fees to get out of prison! 😂

This is a fascinating breakdown of the dynamics across social media - it mirrors what I feel in my gut is happening (social media has hard-wrenched right), and is dominated by foaming-at-the-mouth individuals, rather than thoughtful inclusionary discourse. (mores the pity).

"Trump has built his power on an alliance with far-right online trolls who hijacked the attention of the American electorate using bots and algorithms feeding controversy. That effort has only accelerated since then, as Elon Musk took over Twitter and eliminated any checks on the ability of literal Nazis to exploit its algorithms."

"Using bots and mob armies to stoke false controversies helped Trump win in 2016. It is how he has managed public attention ever since. ...
Of the most successful 20 peddlers of disinformation identified by Stanford’s Election Integrity Project, all were Trump aligned, and Trump and his two older sons both ranked close to the top of the list."

@Flip_Switch Wat in de kroeg werd geroepen, had maar weinig relevantie voor de politieke machtsverhoudingen. - Door #socialmedia is dat geluid miljoenenvoudig versterkt en bereikt direct de openbare ruimte. Dat was inderdaad het belangrijkste middel voor #extreemrechts, daarover zijn we het eens

@Flip_Switch Wat “verborgen” is, is irrelevant voor een land en zijn publieke debat en de ontwikkelingen die daaruit voortkomen, toch? -
Ik ken (resp. kende) langdurig ook een aantal mensen die op rechts (vooral CDA) stemden. Niemand van die mensen durfde in de tijd vóór Fortuyn openlijk intolerante en xenofobische uitspraken te doen, en ook daarna was er weer een hele tijd rust. Pas door de #mediaaandacht voor Wilders, mede door #socialmedia, is #extreemrechts zo groot en bedreigend geworden.

When I was younger, my generation was called "war babies". Now they want to call us "silent". But as far as I am concerned, we are the Beat-Hip generation -- we were the bridge between the Beat Generation and the Hippies.

Gerade erst selbst empfohlen bekommen, möchte ich die Empfehlung gern gleich weiter verbreiten: @afelia aka Marina Weisband hat seit diesem Jahr einen eigenen Podcast mit dem schönen Namen »Wind und Wurzeln«.
Bislang habe ich nur die Folge »Was, wenn morgen Faschismus ist?« gehört, aber die allein ist schon so bereichernd, dass ich gern allen den Kanal ans Herz legen möchte:
