🤔 Y'all pretend to be worried about "disinformation" in journalism and social media...

But you just accept a Washington Post report describing a violent, racist, traitor leaking government secrets (about an ongoing war!) to a chatroom full of racist kids and young men he's radicalizing, as a "charismatic gun enthusiast?" Y'all are deeply unserious people.

You don't care about disinformation at all, as long as the disinfo is in the usual US direction: downplaying racism that hurts Black folk.

@mekkaokereke "Charismatic" just means he found himself a cult of followers. That was Jim Jones and David Koresh. I hope they catch him and put him away forever for treason. Using the Covid lockdown as a reason to form the equivalent of the Internet Research Agency is no excuse...
