They're canvassing for a known scammer. I don't see why anyone's surprised that they themselves are scammers too.

For those unfamiliar with that incident:

• 2017 United Express passenger removal

On April 9, 2017, at Chicago O'Hare International Airport, four paying customers were selected to be involuntarily deplaned from United Express Flight 3411 to make room for four deadheading employees. One of these passengers was David Dao, 69, a Vietnamese-American who was injured when he was physically assaulted and forcefully removed from the flight by Chicago Department of Aviation Security officers. Dao, a pulmonologist, refused to leave his seat when directed because he needed to see patients the following day. In the process of removing him, the security officers struck his face against an armrest, then dragged him – bloodied, bruised, and unconscious – by his arms down the aircraft aisle, past rows of onlooking passengers. The incident is widely characterized by critics – and later by United Airlines itself – as an example of mishandled customer service.

"A recent decision to sue them for heeding his own advice to not buy ads on the platform hasn’t helped."

Gotta love it. He told advertisers to fuck off, they fucked off, now he's even more mad at them.

It reaches through your monitor and slaps you.

• Doublethink

"Doublethink is a process of indoctrination in which subjects are expected to simultaneously accept two conflicting beliefs as truth, often at odds with their own memory or sense of reality. Doublethink is related to, but differs from, hypocrisy."

Edited to add:

It's a common tactic with fascist regimes. Nazis used to do it with Jewish propaganda by simultaneously claiming that Jews were weak vermin that needed to be exterminated and that they are this supervillain that controls all the money.

You currently see it a lot with the people chanting "Genocide Joe" and claiming he is some mastermind warhawk with at the same time claiming that he is some feeble, senile old man. He's Schrödinger's politician!

The brain drain that happened because of this war will take Russia decades to reverse. All the smart scientists got out fast.

They told me I would need to renounce my homosexuality or else they wouldn't provide me with any services. Fuck the Salvation Army.

When black people do it.

"Russia has claimed without any evidence that biological weapons are being developed in laboratories in Ukraine with support from the United States."

That is so fucked up!
