No shit. Anything with that high energy, angry vibe is almost always going to have an ulterior motive. It’s kayfabe

Its that BTC/ Meidas Touch, astroturfed centrism. I wouldn't really call it high energy.
Okie dokie
Tell me you didn't actually read the article without telling me you didn't actually read the article.
It’s a video, and no, I definitely did not watch it. Why would I waste my time with that shit
Well if you had watched the video, you'd know it was an article:
https://www.wired.com/story/dark-money-group-secret-funding-democrat-influencers/
yeah, well i woulda read the article if it wasnt paywalled.
boom. roasted.
seriously tho, it’s paywalled,
The interview is good, and its with the author.
See if this works to get around the paywall: https://www.removepaywall.com/search?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wired.com%2Fstory%2Fdark-money-group-secret-funding-democrat-influencers%2F
Lazy as. 🖕🏽
I’m not going to watch a video on something that anyone with even a minute amount of observation skills could already tell.
So how did you know there was a dark money pool funding astroturfed "middle of the road" Democrat influencers without this reporting?
And which influencers? Because we know, thanks to this reporting, that it was at least 90, but we've only got names for about 10. The rest are a mystery. I'd really like to know the other 80.
Because we live in a capitalist society and people are pieces of shit. 9.9 times out of 10 there is going to be an ulterior motive. Anyone who is an influencer online is already an opportunist. Just throw a dart at a board of pictures of them and you’ll hit your mark. It’s not a career choice that is made by ethical people. To come back to the resolve, it’s all kayfabe.
