I've noticed that and I wonder what their agenda is. To radicalize western men?
- Analemma_ 3y agoI think that’s probably overthinking it. I think most of these accounts are just chasing engagement, and they’ve figured out a solid formula: post something really stupid (the tweets by statue PFPs inevitably contain basic factual mistakes), get QRT’d by people dunking on how stupid it was, boom: instant viral spread and engagement. It’s the utterly standard griefer playbook that’s been on forums since the internet began, just with new contemporary culture war material.
