#infowars — Public Fediverse posts

The Onion can soon do the funniest thing: having a bigger circulation than WaPo, owned by billionaire Jeff Bezos.🖕

As for the Infowars IPR, things are clear:

“Business plans? Not really. Comedy and fuck-you plans? Definitely, yes.”🫠

things have gone so completely sideways in the feed of #MAGA influencers I monitor that the only person making any goddamn sense is alex fucking jones

(jones is the only one discussing the #epstein cover up (and tbh kind of disturbingly close to reasonably). all 50 other accounts are all "OMG OBAMA COUP BOMBSHELL!!!1!!*@!!" all the time)

@77nn @informapirata Spero che tu ti renda conto che, per dire, è esattamente quello che dicono ad esempio i #novax quando vengono beccati

"Non siamo così irragionevole, è la #falseflag dei #poteriforti per renderci ridicoli".

Ripeto: la differenza tra #AlexJones che dice che #Sandyhook è una false flag per togliergli #Infowars e il tizio che dice "#Salvini si fa le fake da solo"?

⭐️The ‘Traditionalists’ and Trump⭐️

With the election of #Trump, Putin has found a potential ally in unwinding the trans-Atlantic networks that support the liberal democracies that flowered following the end of the Cold War.

Trump, like Putin, has made his disdain for groups like NATO and the EU clear,

and pushed a vision of Victorian-era spheres of interest,
in which regional powers are allowed something far closer to free reign in their respective regions than anything seen during the post-Cold War period.

While Trump falls back on fiscal arguments,
claiming that security relations with other NATO member-states aren’t worth the price of maintaining the U.S.’s participation,
his opposition to organizations like the European Union parallels arguments out of the Kremlin
—all while Trump continues defending Putin’s policies.

Any time he’s faced with questions of Putin’s probity
—of Moscow’s destruction of an independent press, say,
or of the Kremlin’s suffocation of opposition actors
—Trump deflects.

Not only has the former president continued casting doubt on the U.S. intelligence consensus that Moscow meddled in the American election to support Trump,
but he has further said Putin has been
“far more” of a “leader” than former President Barack Obama ever was.

Indeed, it’s within Trump’s outspoken praise for Putin that we can trace the contours of the reasons
white nationalists and members of the Religious Right continue to look to Moscow for support and inspiration,
and continue to admire and praise Putin’s policies.

For white nationalists, in their blinkered understanding of recent developments in Moscow,
Putin presents something of an ur-leader:

a head of state embodying an idealized view of masculinity,
undistracted by legal or cultural niceties in pursuit of his ultimate end-goals.

Rather than remaining within the understood boundaries of post-Cold War politics,
Putin has, to America’s white nationalists,
reclaimed the primacy of a white, Christian population within a multi-ethnic federation:

a model white nationalists envision as a possibility under Trump.

The Religious Right, meanwhile, stands enthralled with Putin’s willingness to bolster the church,
with the Russian Orthodox Church maintaining a clear, superior role both within the state and over other non-Christian religions.

Moscow is only too happy to provide both financial and organizational backing for sympathetic groups in the U.S. and elsewhere,
and is almost certain to do so for the foreseeable future.

And with Trump’s inauguration, Moscow has a man in Washington who, by all appearances,
has little interest in investigating these ties,
or of slowing these swelling links.

While Trump and his team occupy the White House, Russia will have an ally in attempting to roll back the liberal order,
with the American president acting as a partner,
witting or otherwise, of the Kremlin
—as well as the white nationalists and Religious Right cohorts on both sides of the Atlantic,
whose support for the Kremlin seems likely to accelerate for the foreseeable future.

The links between American conservative organizations and Putin’s inner circle,
including those tasked with pushing the Kremlin’s geopolitical policies throughout the West,
have sometimes created outsized tensions for those on the American end of the relationship.

One such moment came in early 2014,
when Putin began citing the protection of ethnic Russians
—and Russian Orthodox believers
—as rationale for the annexation of Crimea.

Even though the WCF announced that it would cancel its planned 2014 conference in Moscow,
many of the scheduled speakers nonetheless showed up,
and the conference proceeded in all but name.

Beyond that, though, the gathering confirmed a trend long in the making, says Stroop.

Indeed, the 2014 conference, he said, represented
“Russia taking on the mantle of leadership of global social conservatism.”

The links between Russian officials and the American Religious Right,
like those between Kremlin-linked actors and American white nationalists,
are easy to trace.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, Duma member #Yelena #Mizulina,
who helped spearhead Russia’s anti-gay “propaganda” law,
has been “heavily involved” with the WCF.

#Vladimir #Yakunin, former head of Russian Railways
—and a Kremlin insider who has cultivated additional links with the American theocratic “#dominionist” movement
—has also served as a WCF committee member.

Likewise, Russia’s 2011 package of anti-abortion legislation saw conspicuous links with the WCF’s efforts.

To wit, the package of abortion restrictions, speared by Mizulina, was launched a day after a series of WCF higher-ups,
including Carlson and Managing Director Larry Jacobs,
settled into Moscow for a
“Demographic Summit,”
the WCF’s most substantial assembly in Russia to date.

As the head of a Russian women’s advocacy group later said,
“It was 100 percent clear that everything [in the anti-abortion legislation] was copied from the experience of American fundamentalists
and conservative circles of several European countries
where abortion is forbidden or restricted severely.”

Or as the WCF would later claim in its promotional material:

The WCF “helped pass the first Russian laws restricting abortion in modern history.”

Still, the WCF is by no means the lone U.S. Religious Right organization outspoken in its praise of Moscow,
or supporting Kremlin policy.

Over the past few years, arch-conservatives in the U.S. have begun espousing something approaching infatuation with Putin,
especially for Moscow’s leading role in both passing and encouraging anti-LGBT legislation.

For instance, #Bryan #Fischer, who until 2015 was a spokesman for the "American Family Association"
and who still hosts a show broadcast over its radio network,
has called Putin the
“lion of Christianity.”

Evangelist #Franklin #Graham
—who visited Russia in 2015 to meet with Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill
—has likewise lauded Putin as someone “protecting traditional Christianity.”

Seems like a nice community here (and man, I like that I have more than 280 signs to blab on and on about stuff), so I'm gonna put out a question:

While I'm still struggling with adjusting the language in my mastodon app, I have done some looking around and haven't found many people who talk about #disinformation. Now, I'm aware that this might absolutely be due to my still-finding-the-lay-of-the-land status here, but perhaps someone has some suggestions?

Anyone who works on / is interested in the following? And this post also very elegantly lets me make my point that we live in a definition spahgetti bowl :skp345:

#propaganda #misinformation #disinformation #infowars #infowar #influenceoperations #interference #hybridthreats #informationdisorder #informationintegrity #informationmanipulation #cib #computationalpropaganda #informationchaos #malinformation

Oh, I also like "problematic information" - it's so precise, no? Tells you EXACTLY what you mean, no?

And for good order, I also mention #fakenews even though I can talk a long time about why we shouldn't use it.

If I missed any terms, don't be shy and add them with a brief explanation of why it's necessary to use that term instead of any of the other ones (yes, I'm looking for fellow nerds :dy54:)
