Nobody Cares: PRS

And now for something completely different:



Look I'm just saying, I know we all wish that someday former-POTUS Trump will be put on trial for all his sexual assaults, but consider for a moment what we'll be inflicting on twelve more innocent people...

Mildly NSFW

25M in one month, all grassroots small dollar donations. That's more than most of them raise in one quarter.

Psychiatrist struck off for posting 'bizarre' QAnon conspiracy theories

Sydney doctor who shared alt-right views with patients on his clinic website found mentally unfit to treat people

www.theguardian.com

The Dee Why doctor Russell Everard McGregor claimed Trump had taped evidence of a global Satanist paedophile network, that 9/11 was faked, and that the ABC was part of an international deep state network covering up the crimes of the elite.

Many of the 300-plus posts from 2018 onwards related to the debunked QAnon conspiracy that suggests Trump is leading a crusade against “deep state” forces who protect satanic paedophile rings.

“Fight with your keyboard, knowledge and pen,” McGregor wrote in one post in January 2018. “Follow Q breadcrumbs on 8chan.

“The evil truth will be hard for most to bear. Be brave. Seek loved ones and offer compassion to friends and family.”

In another post detailed by the NSW civil and administrative tribunal this week, McGregor insisted that the WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, had not been hiding in the Ecuadorian embassy in London but was in Switzerland or Washington.

“He is an Australian hero and would make a fine future PM,” McGregor wrote.

The rich part about people from 8chan claiming to be exposing a pedophile ring is that 8chan was literally founded by pedophiles who were kicked out of 4chan.

I worked evenings through most of the 90s and missed basically all the prime time TV.

Tonight I caught the last ten minutes of Frasier and FUCK THOSE MANBABIES.

Unbelievable this was considered funny.

Big Swinging Brains and fashy trolls: how the world fell into a clickbait death spiral

The long read: In the years leading up to Trump’s election, traditional media gatekeepers found themselves shoved aside by trolls and tech companies who told us they were only giving us what we wanted

www.theguardian.com

An extract from a forthcoming book, Antisocial: How Online Extremists Broke America, by Andrew Marantz, which looks quite interesting; from the blurb on Amazon:

This is a story about how the extreme became mainstream. It reveals how the truth became ‘fake news’, how fringe ideas spread, and how a candidate many dismissed as a joke was propelled to the presidency by the dark side of the internet.

For several years, Andrew Marantz, a New Yorker staff writer, has been embedded with alt-right propagandists, who have become experts at using social media to advance their corrosive agenda. He also spent time with the social-media entrepreneurs who made this possible, through their naive and reckless ambition, by disrupting all of the traditional information systems.

Join Marantz as some of the biggest brains in Silicon Valley teach him how to make content go viral; as he hangs out with the conspiracists, white supremacists and nihilist trolls using these ideas to make their memes, blogs and podcasts incredibly successful; and as he meets some of the people led down the rabbit hole of online radicalization.

Antisocial is about how the unthinkable becomes thinkable, and then becomes reality. By telling the story of the people who hijacked the American conversation, Antisocial will help you understand the world they have created, in which we all now live.

Armed ecoguards funded by WWF 'beat up Congo tribespeople'

Exclusive: Inquiry into $21.4m conservation project reports ‘credible’ evidence of abuse

www.theguardian.com

Armed ecoguards partly funded by the conservation group WWF to protect wildlife in the Republic of the Congo beat up and intimidated hundreds of Baka pygmies living deep in the rainforests, an investigation into a landmark global conservation project has heard.

A team of investigators sent to northern Congo by the UN Development Programme (UNDP) to assess allegations of human rights abuses gathered “credible” evidence from different sources that hunter-gatherer Baka tribespeople living close to a proposed national park had been subjected to violence and physical abuse from the guards over years, according to a leaked draft of the report.
