lorax b. horne 🍉I just watched the Antisocial Network. I found it questionable that they let Kirtaner appear to take credit for the Parler scrape of video data about January 6. But I did appreciate that they got his character arc generally right, about how Kirtaner fell squarely on the "troll" side of the Anonymous schism, and not the "activist" side of the schism, originally... He only tried to take up the "activist" nomenclature and symbols, after coming out of retirement, to fight this battle against QAnon.

@bbhorne yeah, it was very strange to me that Kirt didn't mention donk at all and seemed to just take credit for it. you know what was weirder to me? the film crew just so happened to be at Kirt's house when he got raided? 🤔
@ACAB I think Kirt probably mentioned donk, but they edited it out because donk refused to be interviewed for the documentary. Simplifies the storyline to reduce the number of characters in it.
@bbhorne that is possible, yes. much the same as how a lot of what I said did not make it into the film. however, the phrasing is still such that kirt seems to be claiming sole responsibility for the hacks. the directors did not force anyone to lie about stuff and they were very good about giving many opportunities to rephrase things as long as we were comfortable with how it came out.
i've been involved with the doc since pre-production, and I can promise you there was waaaay more people interviewed than made it into the film. they did so much of it purely for the research. to be expected from winners of an emmy for documentary research.
@bbhorne that being said, i wish we got to see the full 2 hour cut :(
@ACAB Oh also, they weren't there when he got raided, they were there when he got evicted, and they edited it in to make the eviction footage look like it was the raid. It wasn't, you notice you don't see police siezing any property or serving a warrant in the footage. The cops were there because Kirt was three months delincuent on his rent and his landlord served him eviction...
@bbhorne that makes a lot more sense. it's totally my bad for believing kirtaner.

"Antisocial Network"
I like an oxymoron as well as the next person, but this is going way too far into the realm of "Meh".
