A thread focused on discussing the parasocial relationships cultivated by the Almighty Algorithm to generate profit off of our atomization and society's commodification of petty internet drama.
Brace through the hyper-real lacanian void together!

I always seen it as american. idk, i know that's wrong but ime with americans i've known they all tend to basically look down on living in the city/town where you were born, whereas i always return to where i was born because it just feels better to me to know the people i live around, to be on a name basis with the people i interact with in daily life, etc.

>the best poster on this site
That is clearly the Anonymous poster.
S is one of few good namefag though, with Εαμοβουλγαρος and maybe one or two others.

>>2571446
he's just an Islamist living in an American Islamist enclave who wants to use vanguard theory to impose Islam on America. Think of it like Sakaism version 2.0. Even Helali the Israeli stopped sucking cock to join his team - it's the strength of Islam lol!

>>2572076
ANAR (all namefags are retarded)

>>2571163
I only remember him mentioning he would like to move a few years ago. Didn't realise he actually went through with it.

Can someone explain to me (clueless idiot) why a lot right wing twitter accounts are from third world countries such as Nigeria. What does it mean?

>>2572174
My guess is that right wing groups hire people from the Third World as cheap labor to operate such accounts.

>>2572165
Glowies have been privatising their psy-ops and PR firms, outsourced to the developing world.
People are tempted by influencers like that Sri Lankan boy who was running an academy to teach others to post right-wing AI slop on Facebook like catnip for Boomers.
You had companies in the past like Cambridge Analytica harvesting Facebook data for ops. But I think at this stage it may be so abstracted and indirect that they just make algorithm changes at the top to promote a certain type of content.
And these influencers react to that in order to gain likes and revenue.

>>2572174
>(you) hire a social media manager.
>they contract the work out to the third world using the cheapest labor they can find.
It's not complicated and a good reason not to hire social media managers.

>>2572071
I am just qouting Mao.

>>2572174
Because farming social media engagement becomes a reasonable way to earn money when the average salary in your country is 5 dollars a day.

This idiot is finally getting a taste of his own ideology and can't take the heat.

What are your thoughts of Hasan?

if you want it to fit with the myth, the sword is a militant organized working class, and the fire burnging the severed stumps so the heads don't grow back is the establishment of a dictatorship of the proletariat

Flexing that proletarian Yuan

The Twitter freaks for getting someone fired over a joke, obviously. Weren't conservatives freaking out about this happening to them a decade ago. Oh the humanity!

He never was anybody to begin with.

>took over
>implying

>>2572442
Apathetic. He's part of that circuit of Eceleb influencers who spend all their time talking about eachother but are of very little real-world cultural relevance. Within that crowd, he's probably one of the people I like more, but watching any of these guys isn't good for you; it really is Internet Spectacle in its purest form.

>>2572500
that's HKD not Yuan

>>2572442
Californian billionaire nepo baby Democrat party activist & professional streamer shows off his extravagant wealth at a gambling event where animals are whipped and forced to die for viewer entertainment, all hosted as part of a propaganda effort on behalf of a nationalistic state capitalist regime.

Now THAT is what I call socialism!!!!

>What are your thoughts of Hasan?
IMO Hasan is the heir to his uncle's (Cenk Uygur) DNC media grift. People just kept twisting themselves into pretzels when the explanation was there, clear as day from the start. Hasan is just the new generation's take on the business, branching from MSM to the new forms of media.

He's had a good position on Palestine for a long time and he'll have my respect for that. It's too bad he's a dem shill, maybe that'll change but the current trajectory is not looking promising

We need all the world's top scientists working on identifying the cause of this so it can be intentionally replicated en masse for anyone who wants it.
Fuck cures for cancer or AIDs, that shit can wait.

>>2572702
r/asianmasculinity is destroyed by this webm

>>2572623
People here laughed at me for saying Hasan considered himself as part of the mamdani campaign and was obviously hurt when he was turned down from the VIP room. He has been gunning for a position WITHIN the dem party for two or three years, and sees the progressive caucus as his ticket in, this is why he's so apologetic to bernie and AOC.

>>2572748
He really is "radical chic" personified. Well he does this clever thing when he keeps one foot in the progressive caucus (so those politicians will go on his stream and ask people to vote during elections), and then one foot further left. But he's occasionally reminded that he's a side character who's job is to serve other people's ends. Someone else has to carry the can for him to get a drink. Such is the streamer's fate.

>>2572702
Most if not all post 2025 accounts are from India, they're trying to take advantage of the stupid Musk payback scheme. Accounts from 2022 are from chile or turkey, those run their accounts for the love of the game

I don't know if it's already happening, but it wouldn't surprise me if dumbass right wingers start stigamtizing even further third worlders for flooding xitter.

>I don't know if it's already happening, but it wouldn't surprise me if dumbass right wingers start stigamtizing even further third worlders for flooding xitter.
And what are they gonna do, post meaner and harder?
Beg the jannies to act against their own profitable engagement farmers?
Start their own sectarian witch hunt to tell the grifters from the grifters(Bangladeshi)?

I hope they do this last one and spiral into paranoia, like /pol/'s imaginary JIDF infiltrators.

>>2572702
Global South in absolute shambles

if you could run a BLACKED account, and earn fifteen bucks a month, would you do it (ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya)

>>2572442
starting to believe the people calling him a dnc op might be right. i think he recently shit on the idea of a third party

>>2572605
DO turks really give what they leave behind their to their nieces and nephews? That's pretty cool. Kind of sucks though because… unless, does he get all his parents stuff and all his aunties and uncles stuff? How do they choose which one it is going to be? Kind of sucks for everyone else though.

Comrades, please do me a favour and post "Jenesis needs to stop exploiting Gekyume" in the comments of this video:
