Megyn Kelly: "Girls, do not look for a man who sits cross-legged beyond age 10, or one who is wearing a mask unless he is elderly and has a disease, or who links arms – never mind all the other stuff. You need a real man. Trust me."

I’d rather hang out with the incel weirdos than a bunch of blue hair soy boys blocking traffic so they can end fossil fuels. 😂

I’m trying to raise enough funding to commission a study that identifies the link between blue-haired, obese women and progressive activism. I think this could benefit society.

The great question is what comes first blue hair or progressive activism? By progressive activism I mean blocking roads, gluing your hand to a floor, and supporting terrorists in the Middle East. Don’t forget yelling in people’s faces and calling anyone that doesn’t agree with you a facist. I wonder how many blue haired people post on this board. I’m guessing at least 3.

but hey, it's totally awesome for the lulz


Many such internet personalities identify as patriotic citizen journalists uncovering real corruption. Yet their demonstrated ability to spread misinformation unchecked while disguising their true motives worries experts with the United States in a presidential election year.

They are exploiting a long history of trust in American whistleblowers and anonymous sources, said Samuel Woolley, director of the Propaganda Research Lab at the University of Texas at Austin.

“With these types of accounts, there’s an allure of covertness, there’s this idea that they somehow might know something that other people don’t,” he said. “They’re co-opting the language of genuine whistleblowing or democratically inclined leaking. In fact what they’re doing is antithetical to democracy.”

The accounts enjoy a massive reach that is boosted by engagement algorithms, by social media companies greatly reducing or eliminating efforts to remove phony or harmful material, and by endorsements from high-profile figures such as Musk. They also can generate substantial financial rewards from X and other platforms by ginning up outrage against Democrats...

...

Since his takeover of Twitter in 2022, Musk has nurtured the rise of these accounts, frequently commenting on their posts and sharing their content. He also has protected their anonymity. In March, X updated its privacy policy to ban people from exposing the identity of an anonymous user.

Musk also rewards high engagement with financial payouts. The X user who spread the false information about new voter registrants has racked up more than 2.4 million followers since joining the platform in 2022. The user, in a post last July, reported earning more than $10,000 from X's new creator ad revenue program. X did not respond to a request for comment, which was met with an automated reply.

A misinformed voter is a trump voter. :(
