right wingers just love the angry radical rhetoric, they promote it on social media whenever they find it, here's an example I just ran across:

“We gonna blow your mother f—ng head off” #BLM protester in Kansas City on bullhorn talks about how she and her crew will carry out revenge killings against police. #GeorgeFloyd pic.twitter.com/1h6JuqhpQP

Note there's 2,900 retweets on that, which go out to all the followers of the retweeters. Would certainly reach enough people to make thousands of angry comments on a news site...

In reply to When Murdoch social media

The originating problem is that she used very radical divisive rhetoric, stirring the hate pot, so much so that Russian media saw her as a poster child to do it's trolling thing - example: op-ed in RT, Sept. 1, 2020: The ‘Oxford Black Panther’ behind Britain’s first black-led political party vows to make white men ‘our slaves’. Murdoch media, of course, will pick up on anything inflammatory going on that sells.

I didn't dig into nuance about what she really believed and any mischaracterization of her statements, that may well have been case. But when someone talks using that kind of language, they should expect similar language back in kind. So why even bother figuring out what she really believes, because the language she uses is inflammatory and the reaction to it is not going to be calmed by trying to explain to folks.

Heck, anarchists have long done this on purpose, to get the war on. Like the tweet I posted above 05/25/2021 - 1:01pm says Agent provocateurs know this.

Not of course, to be shot for hate speech. But it seems as if just as many of her ardent followers, especially as prone as they are to mistrust police, believe the shooting was a hate crime and that is being covered up by police. As far as I am concerned, all these people, both sides, are invested in hate, looking to stoke wherever they can find it. It is no coincidence that it is EXACTLY what Russian trolls were preying on with the leadup to the Trump election in the U.S. and thereafter. They actually would set up fake radical black web pages saying the same kind of stuff she did.

What followed was chilling. The clip rocketed up YouTube's algorithm, topping 200,000 views & 9,000 comments.

The most popular comments, boosted by the algorithm, were disgusting. Praising the shooter. Mocking the victim. Calling for more violence.https://t.co/X3SZ4hB1RU

Morris's first two tweets, and part of discussion that follows all three:

New data piece:

A study found peaceful BLM/George Floyd protests last year were correlated with increases in vote share for Joe Biden. But more violent demonstrations (such as rioting in Kenosha) appear to have dragged him down by significant margins:https://t.co/VnxFMxizxk pic.twitter.com/RylML6HRNq

If you include proximity to Kenosha in a model that predicts precinct-level WI elec results, it is highly correlated with gains for Trump even after controlling for other factors. Biden did about 2.4 points worse in downtown Kenosha than in an identical Milwaukee precinct. pic.twitter.com/3ymua6KLQr
