There's already a word for this... it's called "propaganda", which is often disguised as advertising, advice, editorial content, religious dogma, political rhetoric, etc. Its primary purpose is to ~~influence~~ manipulate the thinking and viewpoints of specific groups or individuals. It's been honed to perfection in the last century or so.
Learn to differentiate between harmless bullshit and propaganda; the latter often leads to dangerous things in this world.

hmmm... bad links for NBC News, ProPublica, The Conversation US, and the Los Angelestimes
@CrowquillGal
@losangelestimes @nbcnews @ProPublica @TheConversationUS
They're on newsie.social, which is getting blocked by many Mastodon servers for platforming Newsmax and its disinformation, transphobia and racism.
They need to move to another instance if they want people to be able to continue to follow them; either that, or newsie.social needs to start enforcing the Mastodon Server Covenant that it supposedly signed up to.

ok that makes sense.
How do we.... communicate to Newsie that we want the news... but not the damn racist/bigots/nazis? Because that seems like something NONE of us will find appealing!
@CrowquillGal You could contact @TheAdmin, but multiple people have reported the Newsmax account already. They know what they're doing, they just need to decide if they're going to commit to being the far right instance.
The admin has moved his own accounts off of the instance, which suggests he might be preparing for long term defederation.

Context: from an article explaining that this woman — who objected to a poem read at Biden’s inauguration being available in the school library - also “accidentally” posted stuff about the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

The Florida mom with ties to the #ProudBoys who got books banned stated that she has not read the entirety of the books and poems she has asked to remove from the school library.
“I want to apologize to the Jewish community,” Salinas told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency on Wednesday. She apologized for a Facebook post she shared offering a summary of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a notorious antisemitic forgery written more than a century ago in Russia.

@jbrewer_jera @GreenFire I was just thinking, what's an acceptable ironic reposting of that rot?
It's pretty much limited to critical and corrective only... "You did this??? This is bad! You should feel bad for doing this. Boo on you!"

"I want to apologize to the Jewish community. I didn't mean to post the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. I just wanted to tell people that I wish you all hurry up and die so Christians can have their apocalypse... oh wait, is that offensive, too? I'm sorry, I'm not a thinker. I'm not a brain person. I'm just a mom involved in my children's education."

edgeoforever 🍎 reshared this.
Her saying that she didn’t read the Elders of Zion and only reacted to the word communism is an honest admission of how rightwingers work these days.
They can’t understand context but look for key trigger words to make assumptions about what they’re reading. That’s why you can routinely debunk them using their own sources because they project their beliefs onto the source material. And if they’re told a source says something they won’t even check the original but imagine they read it.

Seeking to have Amanda Gorman's brilliant poem banned from school libraries or any other library perfectly describes petty-minded racist antisocial anti-Americanism.
America deserves better than that.

'She said the books [she didn't read to find out what's in them] that she challenged “don’t tell the whole story"'
Yeah.. That's about the entirety of that argument.
- Isn't it weird how she want's to teach the "whole story" of Cuba, but thinks teaching the whole story of 'murica is doing a racism against white people.
Or, well, maybe not weird at all as she's someone who posts antisemitism.
Instead we get ‘poor me, I’m not really an anti-Semitic racist POS’, so stop attacking my anti-Semitic racist POS mindset.
