@T0mmyVercett1 No, it wasn't. But that's not my point. The predictions were not based on serious analysis, only giving "vibes" to their audience. Secondly, no reassessment or self-criticism will occur. — PolitiTweet.org

Some "dissident" figures are assets of the Russian government; some are Russian nationalists, who write in English to an American audience for their own reasons; some are grifters; and some, I assume, are good people. All participate in the "vibes economy" of the alt-media. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer
Yes, I'm cherry-picking and taking the opportunity to dunk. That said, a) these accounts are representative of the "Dissident Right" as a whole; and b) such alt-media personalities will suffer no consequences for their inane and tendentious commentaries on world events. — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s a smattering of the insights one finds among the alt-media, not beholden to the establishment’s hegemonic narrative, free to peruse rigorous scientific analysis. You can’t find this at the New York Times! https://t.co/uSX7ADP0Y3 — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer
The mainstream media—however woke, liberal, self-impressed, and beholden to power it might be—has some "skin in the game." If the NYT reported inaccurately on Ukraine, or didn't correct itself when it did, it would suffer consequences, if only loss in prestige. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer
There is no real incentive in the alt-media to tell the truth. At the very least, this incentive is vastly outweighed by the incentive to "produce vibes": that is, establish an audience by offering some needlessly contrarian viewpoint to the mainstream. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer
We have gone from a "Technological Society"—described by J. Ellul, as a top-down content-delivery and consensus-bringing system—to a "Network Society" of self-interested, hermetically sealed, and, in most cases, utterly idiotic "clans" of media consumers. — PolitiTweet.org

Regardless, we are in a place where Sally in Nebraska is more like to get her "news" from an anonymous Facebook influencer than her local paper; for her, the New York Times isn't just liberal or snobby—but evil! — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer
There are many causes of this transformation: most notably the the explosion and democratization of technology and social media; the general dumbing down of the public; and, to be fair, catastrophic moral and intellectual failures of mainstream institutions. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer
Around 2016, we witnessed a transformation in the status of the alt-media. It, in many ways, became more powerful and numerous than the mainstream. The term "fake news" was coined to denote obviously false stories that had greater traction on Facebook than mainstream reporting. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer
Thus, it was the role of the alternative media to pursue the truth. The alt-media might very well get some things wrong, and it might be too tolerant towards cranks, but at least it was a place where truth-seeking (and not hegemonic narratives) held sway. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer
Bringing up topics like race differences in IQ, or offering a critical perspective on American empire in the 2001-2003 period, would get you fired or demoted at MSNBC, the NYT, or Fox News. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer
There was once a "myth of the alternative media"—a myth I fully bought into. Basically, the hegemonic media ignores or suppresses important facts, analyses, and perspectives because they do not adhere to its hegemonic master-narrative. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer
Regardless, my main points are a) Tim has a tendency to be wrong because he's dumb; b) There's no criticism or punishment structure in place to correct Tim when he's wrong; c) There are real incentives for Tim to be wrong, so long his wrongness produces the desired "vibes." — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer
Perhaps I'm letting Tim off the hook, as his schtick can be weaponized. There's reason to believe that he was very much in the loop of January 6 and was certainly catering to these buffoonish coup plotters. https://t.co/59P8Vpbirc — PolitiTweet.org

Pool has an arrangement (or business model) with his audience: he boldly tells them nonsense, or at least misrepresents reports on current event. His audience gets good vibes and pays him for what is effectively entertainment. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer
My point is not to dunk on a person who's clearly dumb, or call Pool a "grifter." What's most important is that Pool paid no real price, in terms of his audience's reaction, to his idiotic claims. In fact, his audience still loves him and treats him like a brave truth-teller. — PolitiTweet.org
