Going OT: why a parody account of Italian PM is tweeting a video about an airplane accident in India? Really weird

  The account is run from India.

    That raises even more questions.

      It's very common, ever since twitter added monetization. It makes the site a lot more unbearable.

      Not really, this is more of an internet meme [1]. [1] - https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/pm-modi-responds-to-italys-giorgia-melonis-melodi-post-that-broke-internet-2470301-2023-12-02 https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/pm-modi-responds-to-it...

      To be fair, you kinda gotta be on the outside of something to make good humor about it.

  People always tweet trending stuff for popularity as simple as that

    But this seems a "first hand" content, not a retweet.

      Could be something as simple as a follower sending the video to the account knowing it will be shared
    • account42 1y ago
      It could simply be reposted from another site or downloaded from a tweet and uploaded without attribution.

  Sometimes it's hard to tell the truth about what obviously just happened so all you can bear to do is say something unreasonably optimistic.

  Because Twitter is a very weird and inauthentic place.
