Wow, that is pathetic.
The goal is to show shit at the wall and see which bits stick. Whether it’s anti-woke outrage from the far-right conservatives or look-what-the-deplorables-are-saying-NOW outrage from the center-right American liberals, every reaction is a metric in a Big Data analytics package that can be used to taylor subtleties into other messaging, or to know when the dam could break on an issue. Are people sicks of the “transes” yet? Can we outlaw communists? What if we did put black people back in chains, you know, for their own good? Would Americans shrug it off yet?
And if you think my examples hyperbole, I promise that some shitty christofascist think tank somewhere is doing the numbers on all of that. It’s fucking gross. Why are we such a broken species?
