"To the extent that necessity is socially dreamed, the dream becomes necessary. The spectacle is the nightmare of imprisoned modern society which ultimately expresses nothing more than its desire to sleep."

-Guy Debord, The Society and the Spectacle

[Casey Ho @CaseyHo]

"The spectacle presents itself as something enormously positive, indisputable and inaccessible...It says nothing more than “that which appears is good, that which is good appears."

Bonus: In addition to the Wencils, a number of accounts purporting to represent the "Foundation for Stockholder Democracy" were also suspended this morning.

These accounts started off as Wencils and eventually rebranded themselves as financial advisors.

Nevertheless, the myths pinning the blame on her for the various ways people reacted to the tweet continue to persist, and they are tossed at her on a weekly basis here. It's time to put those myths to rest once and for all.

The quote tweet by Keffals recently showed up while I was performing a data analysis of the discourse in an attempt to locate the main amplifiers of the troll brigade in the replies. The timing coincided with a noticable spike in engagement on the third day of the discourse.

@CaseyHo @roslyntalusan serious question, why do you think Roslyn tweeted a screencap of that quote tweet by keffals a year after that whole conversation happened?

[Casey Ho @CaseyHo]

Was Roslyn "trying" to be a main character? No.

If anything, the actions taken by Roslyn dampened engagement- for example, when she locked the replies she shut down a huge spike in traffic to the tweet.

Meet "Clement Woo" an account that has been tweeting about their concern for the Asian community in SF ever since changing identity.

Prior to the change, the same account was a UK individual named "Harold Givney" who exclusively tweeted anti-immigrant and xenophobic beliefs.

Note that most- if not all- of the accounts in this astroturf network appear to be operated by the same individual actor. The network's behavior is a clear violation of Twitter's platform manipulation and spam policies.
