I'm recognizing this tactic among fascists all over the world at this point, and I hate that it continues to work:
1. Make an absolutely absurd claim about your opponent. The more insane, the better.
2. Someone will believe it. There's always someone who's completely media-illiterate enough to see your claim and say, holy heck, that's so psychotic it must be true!
4. They tell other people about it — but without the insane context, it's just your friend telling you a 'fact' they learned, and it's more digestible.
5. Keep flooding the zone so that the people who aren't convinced by your insanity are too exhausted to combat it.
6. Therefore, even if the conspiracy theorist's friends don't believe him, most people aren't informed enough to actually argue against the insanity, so it proliferates anyway.

this isn't just a fascist thing, this is text-book information warfare. I had a hyperfixation on AFVs and used to do light OSINT shit. Sifting out fake bot spread info from russia and real frontline info was really annoying. at some point you just write off footage from the russian side because they started FPVing already dead western armour to make themselves feel better about the t-90 being glorified scrap.

they throw thousands of claims out, the ones you see are only the ones that stick. then those are spread by useful idiots and bots till it looks like people believe them, this makes the fake appearance of social support for these ideas and makes them more believable to actual people.

LOL...yeah. "A Con Edison spokesperson said: “Termination of service is a last resort, and we do so only after extensive outreach and exhausting all other options …" And Trump is honest and as trustworthy...

@housepanther 100%. I've been advising not talking to cops for decades. Most folks will incriminate themselves by accident. Unless you have a ton of lived experiences dealing with cops - it's best to shut up & not talk to any of them. I was targeted, along with a few other very vocal & visible activists. RCMP CIRG were hunting for me for months. They were aiming at taking out people like me, with longtime experiences & able to keep the people inspired to fight against colonial capitalist armed peons. They see people like me, as a threat to their paycheques. Fucking greedy fucks.

@housepanther Cops hated it when I kept reading them the dictionary definition of #terrorism & told them -> The dictionary has identified you as #terrorists & since you're all #Canadian citizens - technically, you're all domestic terrorists.
