I mean.... technically... now she runs all CIA black sites.
The Butterfly War was designed to leverage a heavily regulated internet and make it undermine the cultural institutions that dictate such regulations.

The more you enforce your morality, the more the enforcement will be your executioner.

Those rules are disingenuous, extensively ideologically partisan, and do not reflect the human condition at all. It's akin to taping a warning sign on a Skinner box that says, "Do not react" while the experimenters are perpetual baffled when subjects twitch when delivered a jolt of electricity.

By "the users", do you mean four or so hyperpartisan ideological zealots who exploit your rules to get their rush of moral supremacy by downvoting instead of commenting to refute the points?

Because downvoting is technically political activity and your rules totally allow that all day long.

Google "trump is a nazi" and take your pick of any number of Overton window nudging. It's a steady drumbeat of contortions to make the consumer of these outlets see Nazis everywhere.

None as of yet.

But if people want to keep going with flippant accusations of Nazism in everything they see, then I suspect using this technique to abuse the witch hunt will be the natural next step.

Step 1.) Work in Silicon Valley

Step 2.) Desire an advantage over your peers and competition

Step 3.) Notice political hysteria and how it affects the behavior of your rivals.

Step 4.) Deepfake a rival's face into a Nazi rally and send it to his professional network.

Step 5.) Rinse and repeat for every rival you encounter. It's not like denying being a Nazi supporter or crying foul play ever assuages paranoid suspicion.

Congratulations, you can now destroy the career of any worker in Silicon Valley with impunity.

Here's a reply that helps, but it was flagged because it doesn't meet the approval of the "Right Side of History"(tm) committee that runs HackerNews.

Only you can stop the very dangerous people!

Consider the fact that you are a byproduct of the endless programming and propaganda behind the War on Terror. If you have no doubts on that subject, YOU are wrong.

Holy shit it's Wolfey. It's me, Patrick from Meteor Games.

Lemme go through my rolodex of lawyers and see who owes me a favor. In the meantime, look into legal insurance. You mind find an affordable solution to drive these cunt fucks into the earth for cheap.
