Who’s gonna explain to these fucking chuds that the man in question is a) Palestinian, and b) Infinitely better at being racist than they can even imagine
👆You’re the man now, dog

hello big booty people of the dt
if you do not have a big booty please do not reply to this post
I think the largest issue politics currently has is that the center of culture/academics are obsessively Twitter-brained. It’s where the tech leaders are and it’s where the journalists are and it’s where all the people in power making decisions are.
Now obviously I can’t prove anything (nobody can prove anybody’s algorithm/feed without looking at it) but I’m willing to bet reporters even normally liberal are constant Twitter users. Executives are pumped full of whatever Musk wants them to see. Hell, we can see that he was somewhat radicalized by his own algorithm.
Now obviously, again, I can’t cite anything besides the culture shift. But how often do you think reporters’ initial reactions to stories are because of what they see on Twitter? How many posts by white supremacists do you think Matt Yglesias sees in a day? Noah Smith? Nate Silver? How much gore when they see stories like the Kirk assassination, or any war footage, or hell, just randomly encountered in the wild?

Nothing about America is surprising once you assume the median voter is basically Kanye West
