Is this really any crazier than the 2008 smear that attempted to assert Barack Obama was a gay prostitute by the name of Barry Sorento back in the 1970s? Or the attempt to claim Nancy Pelosi’s husband’s assailant was his secret gay lover engaged in a spat? Or the litany of accusations by right-wing AM radio freaks, insisting that Hilary Clinton was having lesbian affairs all over Little Rock while her husband was governor?

It’s the same playbook every fucking time. We just have AI image generators now, so we can plaster a very obviously artificially generated image of Kamala’s face superimposed over some random California sex workers and pass that around on Facebook for the next three months.

The biggest tell is that Kamala was in her twenties in the 90s, so any of these photos that would have been taken would have either been taken on a shitty little analog camera or it would have been a polaroid. You’re not going to get 4k high-resolution photograph of her doing sex work back in the 90s because the technology simply did not exist.

Of course, the action never happened in the first place and you can’t photograph something that doesn’t exist.

You can Photoshop it, but you can’t photograph it.

Hi, it’s the Don’tRemindMe bot. We have received your request and will periodically inform you that we are NOT reminding you of Trump being dressed as an escort. Since you defined ever, we will keep informing you forever.

Am I a good bot?

Obviously it’s not true.

But -

Why is it shameful to have been an escort?

I’d like the Rs to answer that instead, as well as:

  • Why is it shameful that people who have vaginas need tampons?
  • Why is it acceptable to denigrate women who haven’t physically had children - no matter what the reason for that is? (The reason is no one’s business)
  • Why is it acceptable to attack women who haven’t borne children and then deny IVF to the women who actually want to have them?
  • Why is it acceptable to let the women who are trying to have children die or risk disability or risk infertility if they have a miscarriage for lack of access to abortion care? (Abortion is the treatment for miscarriage)
  • Why do all of these chuds find it hilarious when they dress in the shittiest drag on the face of the planet, but want to ban talented artists from performing drag?

All of the answers seem to be that unless you fit the very narrow minded definition of what these people “deem” to be a “woman,” you should be shamed, abused and punished.

It seems to me that they don’t regard women or trans people as people with their own self determination, but instead as property or “less than” to be controlled and abused and punished as they see fit.

Oh they “let” R women have high profile jobs but they need to be either rich/powerful enough that they don’t dare try to denigrate them (see: Devos, Thomas) or completely compliant with whatever crazy direction the Heritage Society/Trump/Fundamentalist Christianity dictates.

Let’s not forget Jerry Falwell Jr. and his wife Becky. It’s ok for her to go bang a pool boy outside the confines of “godly marriage” but only because that’s what HE wanted and only because it was secret. All of the students at Liberty University could barely date or talk to the opposite sex.

I’m so tired of the hypocrisy. Neighbours, you gotta get your house in order. It bleeds up here to Canada and now we have to deal with our own psychopaths who have been taking notes.

It does feel that the only way Canada will improve again is if the US starts being better than Canada, removing our excuse of, “At least we’re not as bad as the US!”

Dude, don’t fucking tell them! Now our well hidden favourite pastime is out in the open.

I think the answer for all of that is they are sensitive little fucking snowflakes and everything you listed hurts their little feelings

I guess they are targeting the uptight religious fundamentalist demographic. I think for most Democrats, it wouldn’t be a problem, even if it was true.

Projection. They’re letting their fantasies leak into their politics. This is like them going after pictures of AOC’s feet. Keep it in your private rooms and you can dream whatever you want.

Fediverse vs Disinformation

!fediverse_vs_disinfo@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Create post

Pointing out, debunking, and spreading awareness about state- and company-sponsored astroturfing on Lemmy and elsewhere. This includes social media manipulation, propaganda, and disinformation campaigns, among others.

Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.

What’s the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.

By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.


Community rules

Same as instance rules, plus:

  1. No disinformation
  2. Posts must be relevant to the topic of astroturfing, propaganda and/or disinformation
