New study shows radical-right populists are fueling a misinformation epidemic
(www.zmescience.com)
No shit.
X and Meta didn't eliminate their mechanisms for limiting misinformation for nothing.
Trump and his oligarchs, even with as angry and stupid as their supporters tend to be, aren't going to be able to keep stringing them along long enough to fully destroy liberty, democracy and justice and implement their planned plutocratic autocracy without a whole lot of lies. So they have to be able to spread those lies. That's why they very deliberately made it so that their lies would be unchecked on the social media they control. And they've already started taking advantage of that.
It's like Americans watching all of this still want to think it's happening to someone else, somewhere else. They've only made it as far as looking around from time to time and going, "Huh... that's strange. I thought I saw a jackboot for a moment there."
