Twitter Appears to Shadowban Videos of Italy’s First Female Incoming PM Meloni

Thanks for that clarification. Always thought it was stupid to go through all that hassle on the matrix infrastructure and simulated worlds just to adopt humans as batteries. Would have been easier to adopt nuclear power instead.

As CPUs makes far more sense.

> “If things go in a difficult direction — and I’ve spoken about Hungary and Poland — we have the tools.”

Please explain what led you to interpret this as a threat of any form. The Orban reference was pretty clear.

From the article:

> "This is a clear reference to the ability of the European Commission to cut funds allocated to member countries when they are deemed to be violating the rule of law."

Here's the quote from the article.

> My approach is that whatever democratic government is willing to work with us, we're working together," von der Leyen said at Princeton University in the United States on Thursday, responding to a question on whether there were any concerns with regard to the upcoming elections in Italy.

> "If things go in a difficult direction, I've spoken about Hungary and Poland, we have tools," she added.

So a liberal democratic organization is prepared to protect itself from sabotage from fascist organizations that are actively manipulated by external actors to undermine them. That's your threat.

yeah she is an actual Fascist.

Cool, we need to figure out why people dont go out and vote while we do respect those that did. Not saying we should blindly agree with their choice, but it feels like there is so much going on beneath the surface that threats will only make things worse.

christ-democrats/EVP are not leftie.

> gets elected in the us affects us here in europe.

If you don't like it, kick USA out of NATO. Soon, please.

Crimea was part of Russia. Since 1783.

Putin annexed Crimea under Obama's watch. He's just annex half of eastern Ukraine under Biden's watch. How much territory did Putin get under Trump's watch?? 0. Trump is way more on your side then the neocons like Nuland. You think Biden can actually form coherent thoughts? Do you think that Harris has any grasp of Geopolitics? The West has been horribly weakend by liberal democracies propped up by the WEF. Do you think any EU country has the stomach for war? Are you willing to send your sons to die on foreign soil for someone else's fight, because it sure as hell won't be US troops that get deployed.

Yes, but it's a shadow ban.

Thinking aloud, I suppose there are three kinds of bans:

1 - Actual, explicit bans (formal)

2 - Intentional shadowbans (decided by humans)

3 - De-facto shadowbans (unintentional artifacts of ML vertex weighting)

Note that the possibility of 3 occurs even if human intervention is needed to act upon the posts flagged by the ML --- the ML is, in effect, driving the 'attentional map' of the content moderator.

So this specific incident would probably be a case of #3, but it makes people angrier if you suggest it's #2, so that's what people are doing.

In her case, though, she’s literally been involved in neo-fascist politics since she was a teenager. She’s spoken glowingly about Mussolini and Almirante. Maybe it would be more accurate to call her a neo-fascist, but regardless, it’s not hyperbole.

That's the same trick used on the great replacement. Pick the most conspiratorial, unlikely version of it (evil Jews meeting in secret, plotting to cause immigration to turn whites into an oppressed minority in their own lands, and for no other reason), show that there is no evidence of that, the apply the label of "debunked" to anything that can be vaguely called replacement (relative demographic reduction of white population due to immigration policies enacted since the 1960s).

In other words, an offensive motte and bailey strategy. Attack the motte, then claim you've destroyed the bailey.

You meant the bullshit propaganda about it being some Russian intel plant was debunked, I presume? Because the contents were confirmed as legit, which makes sense since the Bidens never once denied they were authentic. Hunter's business dealings in Ukraine are quite well known and relevant to current events. ;-)

From the wiki: As of 2022, Vox reported that no evidence had ever emerged "that the laptop's leak was a Russian plot."[12] In March 2022, The New York Times reported it had authenticated some emails "from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop."[12][13] Also in March, The Washington Post reported that two security experts authenticated thousands of the 129,000 emails, though the vast majority of the laptop contents, including most of its emails, could not be authenticated.[3] Among the emails that The Washington Post was able to authenticate was the Pozharskyi email that formed the basis of the New York Post's original article.[3]

Not trying to be a pain here, just trying to point out that there was some truth to the claims. I've been quick to dismiss such claims as conspiracy before so I was surprised to find some truth to them. I agree though that many outlets ran too far with the story and it was meme'd too much online. Also doesn't really seem to matter to the public discourse these days anyway with all the other problems the US and the world are facing.
