@Leo said something on the media sadism thread "if it bleeds it leads"Perhaps this is a pointless thread @Leo - you're probably right - but i have been quite puzzled about it the last few months. How and why the online narratives have suddenly become obsessed with an anti-trans viewpoint when it was barely even a point of discussion a couple of years back.
Where does it all come from and where does the co-ordination arise from, that's what I'm trying to get my head around I guess. Right wing pundits holding similar viewpoints is a given but these new attack models are effectively generating a moving consensus
This is an example from last year
#KeepPrisonsSingleSex: How Botnets Pushed a Hashtag to Westminster
A Logically investigation has found that the Gender Critical hashtag #KeepPrisonsSingleSex was amplified by botnet in coordinated inauthentic behavior.www.logically.ai
Where do the decisions to push these ideas come from is i guess what i am asking
And yeah ok the media and more recently the algos pander to the worst, to tastes for extremes and for sex and violence,
But that's like a psychotic person having intrusive thoughts,
Like everyone knows this hateful media is doing our heads in, promoting atrocities and fear, but somehow Everyone throws their hands in the air and acts like they are powerless to stop
