+1amusing and worthwhile reading - faux-oppositioning like so has a lulzy pasttime of the *chans for a long time and thoughts on weaponizing it are pretty interesting; and what he speaks of in both offensive and defensive terms seems solid

.......but my goodness is GamerGate still a thing even 2-3 months ago? I have to hand to it the fact that it did bring in a lot of people who were just interested in video game sperging into right-wing identity politics, but the whole concept is just way too cringey for me and I think it's a gateway drug we need to wean people off of more or less immediately) @Perihelion - CA http://cultstate.com/2017/10/13/The-Butterfly-War/

I think we are being purged from social media and need to fight back. False flag identity is a method.

definitely agreed

it's a fucking ace propaganda technique and as he alludes too can be used to provide optical cover

not so much cover that would stand up to close inspection, but to algorithmic inspection

i.e., I tweet a lot. it is blatantly obvious that my political tweets are purposefully given less traction than my non-political ones. so careful crafting of key words and associations and threads and so on----down to even what i was browsing earlier in the same browser session---may very well make them spreaad better

i'm shocked to still have a twitter tbh

Creating a separate computer login that has separate emails and social media would strengthen your false flag identity significantly

(but I have a lot of thoughts about that and in general; I think that basically a tactical retreat retreat from putting our eggs into one/few baskets in terms of social media networks is important and that while the impact will be quantitatively and qualitatively different, we should be putting more efforts in to more 'web1.0' type content and then using social media as a lure into that.if we invest everything in social media platforms then there could be an overnight decapitation atttack as such)

I think strategically the idea is to burn social media to ground and force migration

+1 and tip for that - buy a few domain names. if you can afford the Internet, you can afford a few domain names. then bunches of emails on them, then use each email to segreggate what you're doing there, from shopping to whatever else ('[email protected]' is for amazon and nothing else) and so on --this, if you have decent technique to prevent cross-contamination, also is convenient for pointing out who leaks to who

and yes, burning social media to the ground and forcing migration is something i can get behind by whatever legitimate means and the truth is it doesn't even have to be 'illegitimate'/illegal/straight up black hat means it just has to be well thought out; he has some good thoughts on doing it.

which makes me wonder, has this been done (idk) ... a "black female 30-35yo" generator

(or whatever)

for a social media account that not only has these listed stats but a reasonable reproduction of what activity looks like

(to fool machines, not humans)

(the humans would come in later to operate them)

spammers are, I think, using similar enough tech

but i'm not so up on that as to be able to say how much

I could generate a script to run a browser through a template to help automate spoofing

You still need to setup the emails and accounts though

could work with you on it

and, just get your own domain, the email problem is solved; better yet, instead of actually having so many email accounts, use a catch-all email forwarder

and then scripts that automatically recieve, react to, and sort the different recieved emails

CAPTCHAs, etc. will need to be dealt with by usual means which is either time consuming or costs money

I think signing into a fake Gmail account while browsing google would be enough to generate a fake signature

The browsing could be automated

seeing what links are trending is pretty easy, then deliberately go for a lot of clickbait articles

because they are all about demography

And money

right

it's a few centws worth of civil disobedience at that 😃

They'll want to avoid purging their ad revenue click cows

just have to avoid looking like a totally retarded ad-monetizing bot

whichisn't hard because our goals are different

(instead of generating revenue for one guy's clickbaits, just click correlated clickbaits)

then you can extract the profile and the cookies and whatever and set it up and inject it into creating a facebook account or whatever, and shit, it might even fool google's "I'm human" box

(although i know exactly zero about how thatworks but i assume it means 'human like revenue generating patterns detected by algorithms' and again the algorithims are out to attack spam /revenue mongering whereas that isn't even our goal)

👍

thought provoking

you're overthinking it. Just post beyonce gifs, anyone will assume you're a black woman.
