Twitter is a train wreck rn 😂 I laugh but it’s honestly not funny. It’s contributed to the instability & domestic terrorism within America. Its unbelievable people fought, died, & continue to do so for American citizens that now reject common sense, facts, & empathy. Far too many can’t spot the enemies right in front of them & too many are veterans! 🤯
@ArmyMomTrish they brought the 4chan ideology to twitter. It’s part of the New Right. It’s global. It’s a problem. This though https://www.theverge.com/2022/10/28/23428132/elon-musk-twitter-acquisition-problems-speech-moderation
@Nadinbrzezinski You couldn’t be more accurate! The 4chan ideology really has taken off & it’s a global problem. Great, factual article as well! Thank you for sharing it.
@ArmyMomTrish you welcome. Right now writing about the Ukraine war, and Russia. But at least Twitter will same me the go to 4chan. Been monitoring them for decades at this point
@ArmyMomTrish they are also extremely aware of Russian hybrid warfare. This is something we need to learn, fast…outside the policy spaces that is
@Nadinbrzezinski That’s true. They would certainly have knowledge on it that we desperately need to learn & get ahead of. Russia has been able to interfere for longer than I’m aware of. When my son was stationed at Ft. Wainwright in Dec 2019 I really started learning how Russia has already started a new style of war using misinformation.
@ArmyMomTrish it’s hybrid warfare. It’s a thing since the Cold War. During the 1990s they mostly took a break, but starting in 2002 they started again.
It really took off after 2014. And it’s toxic to the nth degree. It can be disarmed and defeated. But it requires constant work.
#nafo has been very effective in the bird app, to the frustration of Russia.
@Nadinbrzezinski I’ll have to revisit the history on the Cold War as an adult. If you have any book recommendations on it I would gladly accept them.
I can recall seeing an issue with lies & misinformation during the 2nd Obama term but I didn’t realize it was Russian hybrid warfare. The Trump presidency revealed Russian collusion & the fact a hybrid war had started.
And it’s been comforting knowing nafo has been effective against Russia on Twitter
@ArmyMomTrish you want to jump with both feet into the deep end of the pool, the Mitrohin files
@Nadinbrzezinski I wasn’t aware of 4chan until 2019 I believe. When I joined Twitter & a lady by the name of Gretchen Smith that runs a nonprofit called code of vets friended me. I learned abt extremists, conspiracies, recruiting new extremists from that encounter. I wasn’t aware there are so many fully invested. The Ukrainian’s certainly are amazing people imo Inspiring on a military level. Brave, wholesome people
