William Lindsey :toad:<p>&quot;Pew found the news influencer space was dominated by men, with 63% identifying as male compared to only 30% identifying as female. The gender gap was found across most social media platforms, including YouTube, Facebook, X, and Instagram, where men outnumbered women two to one.&quot;</p><p><a href="https://toad.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/manosphere" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>manosphere</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/brosphere" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>brosphere</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/YoungMen" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>YoungMen</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/disinformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>disinformation</span></a><br />/3</p><p><a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/journalism/2024/11/18/americas-news-influencers/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">pewresearch.org/journalism/202</span><span class="invisible">4/11/18/americas-news-influencers/</span></a></p>
William Lindsey :toad:<p>&quot;Young American adults are increasingly getting their news from social media influencers, a majority of whom are men and lean to the right, according to a new study from the Pew Research Center.&quot;</p><p>~ Liam Reilly</p><p><a href="https://toad.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/manosphere" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>manosphere</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/brosphere" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>brosphere</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/YoungMen" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>YoungMen</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/disinformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>disinformation</span></a><br />/2</p><p><a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/18/media/news-influencers-social-media-conservative-study/index.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">cnn.com/2024/11/18/media/news-</span><span class="invisible">influencers-social-media-conservative-study/index.html</span></a></p>
William Lindsey :toad:<p>Annie Lowery thinks that the young bros who are now gung-ho on online sports betting, day-trading, and crypto, emboldened by Trump&#39;s victory, are likely in for a hard fall. Her advice to them:</p><p>&quot;Beware the bro-economy,&quot; which she defines as &quot;a volatile, speculative, and extremely online casino, in which the house is already winning big.&quot;</p><p><a href="https://toad.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/manosphere" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>manosphere</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/brosphere" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>brosphere</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/YoungMen" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>YoungMen</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/crypto" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>crypto</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/OnlineGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OnlineGaming</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/sports" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>sports</span></a> <br />/1</p><p><a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/11/trump-cryptocurrency-growth-men/680662/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/</span><span class="invisible">2024/11/trump-cryptocurrency-growth-men/680662/</span></a></p>
William Lindsey :toad:<p>&quot;&quot;It&#39;s a concerted political effort, and it has succeeded twice. Trump has been elected twice. Trump is, in a way, a useful idiot for special interests. It&#39;s the reason that Dobbs happened. Dobbs didn&#39;t even happen under Trump&#39;s watch, but it happened because of Trump and because of the justices that were appointed because of the illegitimate SCOTUS that came in under Trump.&quot;</p><p><a href="https://toad.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fascism</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/cruelty" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>cruelty</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/EconomicElites" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>EconomicElites</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/manosphere" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>manosphere</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/brosphere" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>brosphere</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/misogyny" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>misogyny</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/DarkMoney" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DarkMoney</span></a> <br />/2</p>
William Lindsey :toad:<p>&quot;The rise of the brosphere, the manosphere, was a funded effort. It did not come out of left field. You know, you have... the Kochs and other very special, large special interests and very, very wealthy interests who are funding these. So it&#39;s not organic. No, it&#39;s not organic.&quot;</p><p>~ Alex Winter</p><p><a href="https://toad.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fascism</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/cruelty" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>cruelty</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/EconomicElites" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>EconomicElites</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/manosphere" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>manosphere</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/brosphere" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>brosphere</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/misogyny" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>misogyny</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/DarkMoney" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DarkMoney</span></a> <br />/1</p><p><a href="https://thelefthook.substack.com/p/this-is-how-big-tech-radicalized" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">thelefthook.substack.com/p/thi</span><span class="invisible">s-is-how-big-tech-radicalized</span></a></p>
