Americans have questions about whether the Earth is round. They expect honesty and transparency from their government when seeking answers. For years, people who asked questions in good faith were dismissed, even vilified by “the media” and their own “government”.

“We are tarrifing you for exercising your sovereignty and prosecuting coup-attempting criminals.” That’ll go over well with other countries. https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreie4qrqlv7u3urmbm3cnqebxrgaeuzax7l4gysyk3ugjeujoyb7h3a
After pointing out over and over and over again how this worked as it happened in realtime -- because the same bullshit artists behind this, were behind the 'CeNsoRshIp iNdustriaL coMPleX' game -- it's nice to see someone so elegantly pull it together into a paper. RE:

You can write the same story now after every disaster or violent event. The rumor mill and propaganda machine collide as self-serving influencers & online crowds spin up & politicians join in. Same stock villains. Any friction is “censorship”,any factcheck is “media lies”. I wrote a book ab this 🤷🏻‍♀️ RE:
