Arbetaren: "SD har avslöjat sitt förakt för väljarna" https://www.arbetaren.se/2024/07/03/sd-har-avslojat-sitt-forakt-for-valjarna/ "Det handlar om grunden i avslöjandena: att SD inte varit ärliga med när de själva är avsändare. Att delar av ”folket” på nätet har varit deras betalda tyckare. Influencers avlönade med partiets pengar, sköna reklamsnubbar på ett Stockholmskontor.
Det gäller också konkreta detaljer. Som strategin att ge uppdrag åt unga, snygga tjejer för att locka äldre män, som sedan i sin tur ska få sina fruar att rösta."
One question I've got about #UKpol is: what would it have taken for queen Lizzie to just go "nope, you're a tosser, won't confirm you" to one of the decidedly unfit PM prospects the Tories managed to let float to the top (similar to that saying about cream, but more of the sewer floater version)? Just wondering cause I've seen the current situation blamed on absolutely everyone except her.
@ainmosni@jmcs Listened to a BBC docu about boys/young men the other day and one of them voiced the "girls talk about patriarchy, but with 80% of suicides being men I don't know so called patriarchy is afflicting girls more" and that's where I think influencers could make a big impact. Just by re-framing it and letting kids understand that "if patriarchy exists every man has the time of his life, so if it's not great then patriarchy doesn't exist" is a false assumption.
@doctormo There were a lot of Black people taking the step from Twitter to Mastodon, but Black community building on here has been actively sabotaged by white supremacists using the (supposedly anti-harassment) functionality of mastodon to do so. And the campaign has been empowered by more or less willingly clueless white people of all stripes either saying "well, I haven't seen any racism, are you sure?" or "I'm sure they didn't mean it _that_ way", and "oh, just switch servers" in absurdum.
@nullagent how many times has the US and it's allies used aid as a cover for military/cia actions? Most notorious is the collecting of DNA samples to get bin Laden by masquerading as a polio vaccine campaign, but I know I've heard of more. They're deliberately making aid work a target.
Constant discovery.(sometimes I'm just scrolling through the federated timeline, so that's why you might've gotten a like, boost or cheer from this rando on the Internet)
