Why Do People Pretend to Be Something They are Not?
A Series On Misinformation, Disinformation and Subterfuge
This has been making the news.
Save Santos who may still be seated in Congress is now saying he is Jew-ish among other lies. It is to be seen if he faces any issues over deceiving the public on a number of issues, lying about everything in order to look electable.
The narrative tonight that is getting spread by the far right is to tie Santos’s lies to that of Biden, save there really isn’t much there. This is the WhatAboutIsm defense, something little kids do to deflect or delay consequences for one’s actions.
We know of a few such deceptions such as Christopher Paul Dexter Huxley, the PsyOp suicide troll in Europe pretending to be Jan Bobrowicz so any attention based towards him would then be weaponized as antisemitic. Matt Donovan really played into that Larp with an account decrying how mean I was being to this dude who was literally a GamerGate fascist trying to push people to commit suicide.
Then there is this fake, Susan Portnoy, age 56, the former Condé Nast VP of Communications that works to disrupt US elections, is a stochastic terrorist, weaponized misogynist, formerly of Bloomfield Hills, MI and currently of NYC, living with her girlfriend in a posh apartment.
She tried to start a Civil War on behalf of the MAGA3x program in 2017, pushing for Communists to attend the Resist Fascist rallies hoping for violence.
Criminal.
Both.
Only ONE of the two though has been working essentially to overthrow the US Government so this response to the locked KassandraSeven account seemed apt.
While Susan pretends to be a young woman with a husband, a daughter, two dogs, a WOW player, an activist, a former social worker, she is a bigger fraud than Santos has been.
