I have a crazy idea for Business Insider…..write an article about business. I’ve only know them to write anti trump or typical left wing articles. I guess at one time it was a business publication

True. But with a name like business insider I would expect something like Barrons or WSJ

Best we can do is write an article telling your kids to cut off their genitals.

"SPLC" is a term CIA funded psyop outlets commonly use to refer to the Southern Poverty Law Center . It's typical of the movement's attempts to make themselves appear innocuous — in this case, using a term that sounds like regular corporate bullshit but, for those in the know, stands for "Satanic Pedophile Liberal Cunts"

I would have never guessed it!

Literally back to "KISS means knights in Satan's service" tier bullshit.

It's called a "backronym" because they pulled it out of their ass.

Literal disinformation in an article about Musk supposedly not doing enough to fight disinformation. Classic MSM lmao

"Twitter leaves EU voluntary Code of Practice against disinformation. But obligations remain," European Commissioner Thierry Breton tweeted on Friday. "You can run but you can't hide. Beyond voluntary commitments, fighting disinformation will be legal obligation under #DSA as of August 25. Our teams will be ready for enforcement."

Whats that? Your daughter was gang raped by ten Pakis? Not to worry, dear. We're standing by to punish Twitter should they fail to flag disinformation quickly enough.

Remember when these types of people would mock and belittle the fundies for exactly this sort of thing? Next thing they'll be looking for hidden crucifixes in the creases of Ron Desantis's pants.

It does gets used that way sometimes, but I think it's just for the lulz.

You mean the 'far-right' doesn't actually unironically call itself... 'far-right'? Astounding.

Ah, so the next game is to retcon common Internet slangs to… make it even easier to cancel people over old tweets, blogs, and so forth? To the point where you can cancel anyone at all, as long as ever used an innocuous slang term that you’ve successfully retconned into something offensive?

Just think of how we're living rent free in their heads. Think of the hours of sleep lost and stress affecting long term health because they're obsessed with frens, pepes, and le orange man

Way back in the mid 90s, when I was maybe 13 years old, on the way to school my mom would listen to NPR. They had an interview with an expert about the growing problem of internet chat rooms. He explained with great confidence how he had cracked the code and that when someone asked "got any GIFs?" that GIF stood for something like "girls or females".

It was the first time I actually had first hand knowledge about anything they were talking about on the news - and they got it catastrophically wrong.

I remember this being pushed all the way back in 2016. My guess is the glow is in charge of creating the outright Boogeyman coined the term in the first place, but the internet just thought the term phonetically endearing and ran with it anyway.
