Vox claims social media enables far-right politicians and Neo-fascism

"But it’s possible we need to go even further than Deibert and the studies he cites. It’s not just that social media is happening to help spread authoritarian behavior as a matter of chance or circumstance. Rather, it’s that the platforms by their very nature give anti-democratic politicians a leg up over their opponents.

To understand why, it’s worth dividing a politician’s use of social media into two basic types: normal use and abuse. Normal use of social media is simply an online extension of typical democratic campaign tactics: paying for ads spreading your message or uploading a campaign video to YouTube. Abuse involves the deliberate spread of false information, attempts to undermine faith in established reality, trolling, and harassment.

Normal use of social media can be equally helpful to all politicians, far-right or otherwise. But the negative use of social media, as in the Trump and Bolsonaro campaigns, intrinsically advantages anti-democratic political factions over their opponents."

Once again the liberal leftists claim victim when it's clearly obvious to anyone with an IQ above room temperature that social media favors "progressive" views. If you've ever scrolled through the comments on a Trump tweet you no doubt have noticed how the top comments are almost always screeching libtards REEEEEacting and twisting everything he says. And lets not forget all the fake news the liberal media gets to spread through social media. Fuck, the past weekend regarding the doxing and death threats against children provided all the proof most level headed people needed. Yea, most of those tweets and posts have been deleted and corrected, but for the average idiot, it's now ingrained truth. The left weaponized this shit and are claiming the opposition has taken over. They really think we're fucking stupid.
