Behavior is quite predictable making it a reliable tool for bad actors needing to flood the zone, spread disinformation and mess with people. While normally this account is up to no good being a prominent Twitter supported suicide troller and disinformation mule, his main point here of MTG outsmarting people for clicks and rage is correct.
People retweet stuff they shouldn’t ALL the time. The mainstream media keeps putting on liars and disinformation mules ALL the time. Democracy and truth suffer because of it.
Susan, one of Mike’s “disinformation expert” pals, was so desperate for attention during her recent Op as a bitter pro-wife beater misogynist, she posted this idiotic lie begging for attention from her criminally minded colleagues. Sue showed no doggie treat box, because she has no dogs, as she has no husband nor daughter. The stupidity is the point of her tweet, and her coconspirators were pulled in feeding her extreme narcissistic and emotional needs for attention.
Then you got suicide troller Jan who acts stupid all the time, unable to think that maybe his trying to push people to kill themselves is really on the same level of criminality as child sex abuse.
Jan knows his work is about inflicting trauma. His acting stupid/ignorant is his only defense for his use of weaponized memes pushing both suicide and ableist attacks, as he knows normal people would never do what he does.
Twitter Safety needs Jan to appear as incompetent as possible, in order to justify not taking action and removing his accounts on Twitter. Here is what Twitter is essentially saying to allow Jan’s attacks to remain on the platform:
“Jan is so stupid he wouldn’t know that his telling someone he has stalked and harassed for over a year on Twitter, then puts up that person’s name in a suicidal appearing image, would express contextually to that person should kill themselves.”
Jan’s stupidity is his only defense so stupidity is the point. It’s also a very big part of the far right political landscape.
Here is one of many headlines after the Mueller Report indicated Trump Junior wasn’t likely competent enough to realize that the Russians he invited to the Trump Tower trying to get the stolen DNC documents Trump Senior thought would be from Hillary’s server, was instead offered the money trail that Russia had laundered money into HRC’s campaign.
I know a bit more than the average putz on why Junior didn’t recognize the quid pro quo’s worth. He has a milder version of the same undiagnosed social and communication disorder his father does. His act to turn down the unexpected Russian offer helped him avoid prosecution, though it has always bothered me Mueller couldn’t charge Junior for taking the secret Russian meeting he was doing with the expressed expectation to have received stolen documents.
Yes the media focused on the stupidity, but that was merely the excuse.
