As far as I know from my memory, it is organized by a bunch of rich kids and also the org gets its money from oil excs, shady stuff in general from their organizing
That’s why I said that it was from memory, because I am wrong on some parts but am right on relation to rich kids. Read the other comment replying to me
“This is just from memory…” or “I might be wrong about this, but…” feels equivalent to putting “no copyright intended” or “all rights belong to respective owners” in the description of a YouTube video. And just like the honest form of “no copyright intended” is “piracy is inherently moral”, the honest form of “AFAIK, IIRC” is “I did not bother looking up anything I’m claiming”.
People should hold themselves to a high standard, and phrase things with actual commitment and responsibility. Who or what exactly benefits from the usage of weasel words and hedges? And compared to what detriment?
every form of lib activism can be called a psyop since they can all be ridiculed by the media. and some actual based forms of activism can be shown to randoms and they will :chud-rage: anyway
It’s simply not possible that random people who are genuinely afraid of climate changes are doing irrational things out of fear of climate change. (sarcasm) “There must be some evil rational actor forcing them to do this so that they make ME look bad.”
Declaring this to be a psyop recenters the narrative around yourself. It makes the narrative not about climate change or people reacting to climate change in irrational ways but instead about themselves. Yesterday it was not even called a “psyop”, people were just calling them feds. Adding “psychological” to the narrative inserts the self into the narrative. It’s twitter brain.
What’s with people saying this is a psyop?

“Saying random shit from memory” seems to be a recurring problem with Hexbear.
It came to me in a dream

It’s funded by Aileen Getty, whose dad owned Getty Oil (which was bought by Pennzoil who was bought by Shell).
right, but she’s not an oil exec. I doubt she’s on the board of or holds any position at anything related to an oil company lmao.
I see, I see.
stupud
The people calling it a psyop are?
