Disinformation and demagoguery

Current Affairs

A short list of extremist disinformation accounts that keep popping up on my Twitter timeline even though I do not follow any of them.

These Twitter equivalent of “sponsored content”, or websites that call themselves “trusted source” and then you get the “ding ding ding warning” if you click on them.

  1. S.L. Kanthan
    A Pro-Russia propaganda account claiming to be an Indian journalist, tweets from this account are everywhere over the last week.:

  1. Zero Hedge. Pro-Russia “financial blog” which is a thinly veiled instrument to spread chaos in the global economy. Every fucking time I look at Twitter, there’s a Zero Hedge tweet near the top of my timeline.

  2. Elon Musk. Yeah, fuck off you cretinous cunt with the world’s most kickable face.

  3. JK Rowling. Because Musk and his far right kleptocratic cabal are intent on flooding the internet with transphobic bullshit.

  4. “Wall Street Silver”. @wallstreetsilv
    Another armageddonist “financial” account which is part of the pro-Russia drive to deliberately crash the world economy.

All these sorts of “financial blogs” and Twitter accounts push the same “talking points” - they’re pro-Putin and Russia, paint “the Fed” as a sort of Rothschilds/Soros type world boheyman, want the US dollar to collapse, are obsessed with the gold standard and gold and silver and/or cryptocurrency, they keep retweeting with glee that the whole of France is apparently on fire and that soon the whole of the world will be (because that’s what they want to happen), they have an irrational hatred for Trudeau, they’re pro-China, they treat that headbanger Ron Paul as some sort of deity. Basically crack cocaine for the sort of QAnon conspiracy types who unironically believe they are intellectuals.

  1. “Smaller Fish GAA” - I’m blocked from this account, I’ve muted it, it still keeps appearing on my timeline. Fuck off Colin.

  2. Sarah Vine. Fuck off you slimey, propagandist piece of Tory shit.

  3. Arnaud Bertrand. @RnuadBertrand
    A China propagandist who, like the early days of Russia Today, pretends to be sympathetic to “social justice”. His main hobby horse is defending TikTok.

  1. “Kim DotCom”.
    A literal neo-Nazi thug who literally wants to see the world burn and is very popular in the cryptocurrency “bro” world. Anti-western liberal democracy, fanatically pro-Russia. Has an obvious personal relationship with Elon Musk, who frequently replies to him, and this personal relationship is, frankly, terrifying, because an actual neo-Nazi is constantly in the ear of the cretin who controls the world’s most influential opinion platform.

  1. David Sacks. @DavidSacks
    Very close buddy of Elon Musk. Fanatically pro-Russia. Fanatically anti-government interference in anything, until he was screaming for a government bailout of Silicon Valley Bank. Another cretin who Musk wishes to push forward as a major worldwide “opinion former”.

  2. Matt Goodwin @GoodwinMJ
    The “academic” equivalent of views pulled straight out of the arse of Nigel Farage.

  3. Eli David @DrEliDavid
    Pro-Trump armageddonist, professional poster of pictures of France apparently being on fire, crytptocurrency “bro”, post 80% through the medium of memes, any of his written posts come across as if they’re written by a creepy groomer. I can’t log into Twitter without seeing this supercunt and his punchbag face everywhere.

  4. Jamie Bryson. Cretinous astro-turf Paisley with no mandate except a Twitter page. Twitter seems eager to make him a star.
