It’s important to understand that the hate ecosystem does not rely on MSM & their audiences (those outside of white supremacist & incel propaganda forums) to worship and create legends out of their murderers.
So, the less we know about those who commit these acts of terror... /1

2/...the more ignorant we remain about this very real threat.
We remain ignorant of how young men go from aloof to killer.
We remain ignorant to buzzwords and proliferators of propaganda.
We remain ignorant to the money behind hate groups & the ability to measure their growth...

3/ We remain ignorant of the ecosystem itself.
There’s a reason @jack just stated that tearing down the Nazi hate speech on this platform would disproportionally affect GOP pols & conservative voices. Don’t you want to see the mechanics of the ecosystem? Don’t you want to know...

4/...how talking points & especially policies are connected to it?
All evidence coming out of what we know about Cambridge Analytica - as just 1 piece of a broader, online crafted & directed propaganda machine - tells us that algorithms have been matched 2 curated databases...

5/...in order to FIND & TARGET individuals based on psych profiles. They tested their algos on targets labeled as “dark triad” - folks who demonstrated personality traits of narcissism, Machiavellianism, & psychopathy.
Say that to yourself a couple of times. Say...

6/...the data firm hired by the Trump campaign, & Cruz camp b4 him, possessed databases of individuals on the dark triad thnx to algorithms that both found them & delivered content directly to them.
Oh yes. All true. And those algos were used 2 build this: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/17/data-war-whistleblower-christopher-wylie-faceook-nix-bannon-trump

7/ THAT’s the story that needs telling.
Over & over again, until it sinks in. Because this is the new frontier of war:
1. find the enemy’s weakest links,
2. turn them into weapons with hate ideology,
3. encourage violence,
4. sit back and wait
That’s how easy it is.

8/ Don’t you want to know everything you can about where our domestic terrorists are radicalized?
What their psych profiles are, their medical files said, their online habits? (psst: we’ve been crowd-sourcing the latter for years now. It would be nice if that got covered)
Well...

9/ If we refuse to even say their names, then how will we ever understand what they found & what found them?
If we only see them as monsters & not what they also are - Americans (sons, brothers, daughters), then we’re refusing 2 acknowledge that they are real. That they are ours.

10/ The data-driven battlefield fueling the online hate ecosystem is a hell’s ape.
Wake up to it. Because, the threat is only increasing by the second.
