“We are tarrifing you for exercising your sovereignty and prosecuting coup-attempting criminals.” That’ll go over well with other countries. https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreie4qrqlv7u3urmbm3cnqebxrgaeuzax7l4gysyk3ugjeujoyb7h3a
After pointing out over and over and over again how this worked as it happened in realtime -- because the same bullshit artists behind this, were behind the 'CeNsoRshIp iNdustriaL coMPleX' game -- it's nice to see someone so elegantly pull it together into a paper. RE:

You can write the same story now after every disaster or violent event. The rumor mill and propaganda machine collide as self-serving influencers & online crowds spin up & politicians join in.
