written extensively about this specific behaviour pattern you are presently the target of. The trolls are using #learn2code as an “Outer Narrative” (a collectively agreed upon bad-faith argument that is internally understood as such) to provide cover 2/ https://t.co/tZ4gUvLgsS

You are a target of this campaign in part because your reporting had been a source of “Narrative Dysphoria” (information that either disagrees with or challenged their personal narratives) https://t.co/0LcYUrJsQg and also in part because they have recieved

permission/encouragement for their campaign from what they accept as an important authority figure. This is directly a consequence of Trumps war on the press.If you allow yourselves to be silenced here, this will only be the start. The next time will be worse.

This bullshit is just getting disgusting, but it also seems like the hate is absolutely and utterly universal. That 90 percent of the entire fucking world has rallied against these journos and treating them like traitors to humanity, thus deserving to be treated like subhuman garbage.

Which I assume is exactly the point: to make it feel like no one is on their side, even if it’s not true. But god help me I find myself depressed how much it feels like the bastards are winning.

EDIT: It especially pisses me off that the preferred ‘outer narrative’ is the retraining programs which apparently are such a massive insult to all Americans that we must rise up against the media reporting on these and prove how much we must hate them.

Because, you know, coal is for-fucking-ever. Right?
