Highlights: [P]aid clout-chasers on X, formerly Twitter, are using the conflict to boost their profiles — and a few who have successfully pivoted to pro-Palestine content were formerly known for hate speech, extremism, and conspiracy theories.
Other verified accounts that have quickly increased in size over the past several weeks by focusing on the suffering of Palestinians, but previously displayed a pattern of transphobic and LGBTQ comments, include former UFC and MMA fighter Jake Shields, banned YouTuber Ryan Dawson, and an anonymous “anti-woke” account called “Lord Bebo.”
The 2nd one. And the exact same message is actually going out in the right wing world. They’re being told that believing in Palestine’s right to exist is libtard subterfuge, therefore you MUST support Israel and hate Palestine if you want to oppose the left. Only american fox news types seem to be into it. The fact that I’m now seeing this article trying to associate Palestine with right wing extremists instead, it feels like a crappy editorial cartoon came to life.
