  1. Fascinant ce livre! Elle y parle aussi du #sionisme (elle évoque le #génocide à #gaza). Ce qui me frappe c'est la description de la bascule de #NaomiWolf vers le #conspirationnisme et l' #extrêmedroite car j'y vois un parallèle avec bcp d'autres "célèbrités": de #Dieudonné à #JDVance et tant d'autres dont ces anonymes #radicalisés alors que leur "moi" initial ne présageait pas de cette suite funeste. Les spécialistes l'expliquent surement, je n'ai pas assez lu sur le sujet et vais le creuser.

  2. When I wrote for AlterNet years ago, when it was still semi-respectable, I dismantled a dumb conspiracy theory about DHS forcing local cops top crack down on Occupy that Naomi Wolf was pushing when she was still semi-respectable.

    Her story made no sense and she got the details of a bunch of news stories she had threaded together totally wrong--much like how she wrote a whole book based on a misunderstanding of old British sentencing language. [cont'd]

  4. The 1990s version of me would have never believed a few decades later right wingers would be favourably quoting Naomi Wolf. (Do not confuse her with Naomi Klein.)

    "What if you woke up one morning and found you'd acquired another self—a double who was almost you and yet not you at all? What if that double shared many of your preoccupations but, in a twisted, upside-down way, furthered the very causes you'd devoted your life to fighting against?"

  8. The latest episode of #AdamConover's #podcast #Factually!, on why smart people become conspiracy theorists, is great. A large part of it is about the case of #NaomiWolf. You may remember in 2019 she made a gigantic error in a book that basically destroyed its entire foundation, and a large portion of her career as news of the error spread on social media. In the time since then, she's become a huge conspiracy theorist. So, why?

    Ah, here is that episode: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/

  10. Wenn jemand, der bisher irgendwie links bzw. liberal gebrandet war, ins rechte #Querdenker Paralleluniversum abdriftet, macht mein Hirn automatisch so eine Art Schnell-Check für Indizien im bisherigen Werk, manches springt einen dann förmlich an. So etwas ähnliches, nur sehr viel ausführlicher, hat #NaomiKlein mit der völlig Off-the-Rocker gegangenen #NaomiWolf gemacht, mit der sie sehr oft verwechselt wird. @jbirken hat eine super #Rezension dazu geschrieben:

  12. "Klein looks at how '#FarRight movements feign solidarity with the working class, AI-generated content blurs the line between genuine and spurious, and new-age wellness entrepreneurs turned #antivaxxers further scramble our familiar political alliances.' #Doppelganger explores 'what it feels like to watch one’s identity slip away in the digital ether, an experience many more of us will have in the age of AI.' "

  13. "In her new book #Doppelganger Klein uses the fact that she is commonly confused online for a very different writer, #NaomiWolf, who has called #Covid19 vaccine programmes ‘mass murder’, as a device to explore modern themes including online identity, #ConspiracyTheories and the 21st Century supremacy of the ‘personal brand.'

  14. "It’s a huge mistake, Klein thinks, to see Wolf in recent years as having ‘lost it’. The New York Times no longer calls her, so she took her followers with her ‘over the edge’, where she found the new and even bigger audience of #VirusDenialists and #AntiVaxxers, wellness gurus and religious fundamentalists.."

  18. Ay yi yi. I had heard about this Naomi Klein work, but this excerpt is fascinating. I had to put it down and come back to it because it was so much. What a weird and clever strategy it feels that looking at Naomi Wolf to assess the state of...[gestures vaguely] things....

    But I don't know how to shake them out of it. Might have to see if the book tells us.

  20. "If there is one message I should have taken from the destabilising appearance of my doppelganger, this is it:

    Once and for all, stop eavesdropping on strangers talking about you in this crowded and filthy global #toilet known as #SocialMedia."

  21. #NaomiKlein tells about her doppelganger, #NaomiWolf:
    theguardian.com/books/2023/aug

    ' When she was casting nearly every public health measure marshalled to control the Covid pandemic as a covert plan by the Chinese Communist party, the World Economic Forum and Anthony Fauci to usher in a sinister new world order, I began to feel as if I was reading a parody of The Shock Doctrine, one with all facts and evidence carefully removed, and coming to cartoonishly broad conclusions I would never support. '

  22. #GBNews violated the broadcasting code by letting #NaomiWolf make unfounded claims comparing the #COVID19 vaccine to mass murder.
    Concerned, #Ofcom has requested a meeting with the controversial channel.

  23. Bizarre & hugely inaccurate #antivax rant by #NaomiWolf yaledailynews.com/blog/2022/12

    Reality:
    - No evidence of fertility issues
    - No evidence of grave harm
    - Clear evidence of benefit
    - Not an "experimental injection"
    - Vaccine policy nothing to do with Geneva Convention or Nuremberg Code

    Yes, mandate policy complex. Need to carefully balance much. Still, what the happened to Wolf?

    "New York’s vaccine restrictions, which have been in place since the middle of August, somehow reminded Wolf of racial segregation in the first half of the 20th century."
