Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

How much of this is just fucking with the lives of decent people for speaking out, and how much of it is honestly believing in their own bullshit?
hot take but I'd say its %90 believing their own bullshit. I think about everyone Ive met over 60 in America and how their brain has little swiss cheese holes in it, I dont think Nancy is so different.
“Ha ha today I think I’ll spread disinfo about Russian meddling to advance my political agenda”
time passes
“Holy shit I heard Russia is meddling in our politics!”
I don't even think they were intentionally spreading the disinfo, plenty of them genuinely believed that Russia significantly altered the 2016 election results in some capacity, ignoring the litany of evidence otherwise
Oh no, they purged some names from some ballots for primary voting iirc
Oh no, they put out some misleading tweets that were drops in an ocean
But some libs treat those things like they were on the level of a militarized coup
Yea for rank and file libs and libs on Twitter for sure, I meant like pelosi and other higher up ghouls who I assume are more likely to know better. Mostly just having a go at her for being yet another geriatric life appointment ghoul tho lol
Oh for sure
