Funny how liberals make any activity by a marginalized person to the left of them into a foreign conspiracy to embarrass them personally.

"The Russians have a powerful network of bots and trolls, costing millions."

Wow, what do they do with that?

"Sir... they bofa'd Wil Wheaton."

Whatever you think about this whole thing, this being an international political conspiracy to bofa Wil Wheaton is the funniest thing people will literally and actually believe that will very shortly stop being funny and start being terrifying.

@some_qualia Judging by what I've been finding out about a certain unfederated instance lately, I won't be surprised if a QAnon-type figure soon pops up there to reveal the deep dark secrets of the Russian conspiracy behind the sinister plot to bofa Wil Wheaton, and the "liberals" will believe him...

@dennis_jernberg @some_qualia isn't that just those "alt white house" twitter accounts? that's the liberal version of qanon, right?
Show threadDennis JernbergSep 1, 2018
@trwnh I can actually see QAnon on my federated timeline here at .xyz, and I can tell you he's a whole lot spookier than those. There's this X-Files quality he's got that they don't, and, as they used to say in TV land, "you are there!" The Q thing's basically a LARP taking over conservative reality. That's what I'm expecting at c.s. @some_qualia

@some_qualia It looks like we need to order more copies of "Everyone I Disagree With XXXXX*: The Emotional Child's Guide To Life", stat.

* - XXXXX is a placeholder, which can be search-and-replaced at printing time. "Is A Russian Agent", "Hates Freedom", "Is A Nazi", etc - it mainly depends on what flavor of ‪🔵Angry📺Box🔴‬ the audience has on speed-dial.

@MySideIsHumanity I know you’re doing a thing, but I’m a communist and Republicans (especially those in power at the moment) genuinely are racists, genuinely meet the criteria for fascists, and there are not two valid sides to that argument.

@some_qualia
As far as the politicians in power go, >90% of them on both sides are in the employ of sociopathic thieves and should be thrown out if not jailed.

As far as the 99% go, both sides have been rendered essentially powerless and yet told that the other side is somehow causing all the grief that can be laid at the door of the sociopaths.

@some_qualia On both sides of the 99%, there are a small fraction of horrid trolls -- or worse, people who actually believe they can justify treating people like objects.

Angry Box's job (and they do it fairly well) is to make each side believe the small fraction of the other side represents everyone on thatside.

@MySideIsHumanity I’m a political science major and don’t watch TV news and have not for years. Also, I’m a communist.

@some_qualia You deserve kudos for all three.

@MySideIsHumanity Thanks. But you’re also gonna have a hard time getting me to believe people who identify as Republicans are good people. They might not be responsible for policy, but people who say “Yes, identify with Trump and his policies,” are not good people.

The non-communist “left” appears mostly well-intentioned, but in practice toxic and dangerous.

@some_qualia Is Wil honest to god saying he was trolled off social media by Russian bots?
I mean, I don't know what's real anymore, because I could totally see that.

Well of course Putin would BOFA Wil. He hated Wesley on STNG too. Or as he likes to say to disgraced kremlin agents "You are now the wesley. Shut up Wesley." *smdh* watch that make the rachel maddow russiagate hour. Russiagaters will believe anything so long as there is no evidence and you mention the word 'Russia' 3 times.
