as much as there's a serious need to look at how the left is combating the rise of the fash here tactically etc there's v little focus on the huge role facebook & google in particular have in this. they're set up algorithmically to identify + manipulate the thought patterns of /
all of us, but specifically are pushing disaffected/isolated men towards sinister content. there are several ppl I got to know in the housing movement over the years whose descent into following the likes of Gilroy etc happened slowly but surely. when you combine the right's /
