And to think people hailed Facebook and other online services so much in the Arab Spring of 2010 that someone in Egypt named their kid Facebook.

"Power corrupts" seems to be universal with humans.

I would tend to agree with the process part of accelerationism, but I don't think there is a goal.

The "crazy like a fox" theory is contradicted by several pretty dumb tells that suggest the administration is headed and staffed by actual idiots.

These are open subscription contracts, so any refunds would depend on policy and prorated return rate.

Which part is speculative?

You are trying to derive proof from "lack of proof", with which I unfortunately can't help, Senator McCarthy.

What are you trying to signal by denying my claim that there are bots and trolls among the comments?

Read the comments in the Canada community on Lemmy World.

We are talking about comments that are so obviously meant to provoke, stuff like "Your province never cared for you" instead of "man, I wish our government cared for us". This is an example of reading voice, but there are plenty of examples where the information is too well-formatted or has the signs of being crafted by an LLM.

There are lots of tells, but by now it should occur to us that Canadians are being fed one line of bs, Americans another, eu yet another. All meant to divide us and put us at each others' throats.

And at this point, it should be plain that information warfare is here to stay, so it doesn't matter who is behind it now, because it will be someone else in a year or two.
