Nah that influencer is just chasing clout. He sucks. The flavor of the week is Flock, next week he'll find something else to grift about.

good hunch. What makes controlled opposition effective is precisely the smokescreen it creates. Because its very plausible this is constructed, and unfortunately just as plausible that it's just social media brainworms... Casting doubt on every part of the equation.

Seems unlikely.

I don't understand the desire on the left to pretend there are no clout chasers that take up left causes just for clout, I guess it's easier to pretend everyone that does a bad thing while being vaguely aligned with us is "controlled opposition" than to think critically or even just read the article.

Occupy might have been different I wasn't there but I suspect 95% of the wild anecdotal shit either didn't happen or was done by a leftist who believed some dumb shit.
