Regarding this still unfolding matter of indictments for Russian interference in right wing media this election. Guessing that what we have seen so far is just the tip of the iceberg. Trump and Vance have been palling around with a lot of other pod caster bros lately. Wonder how much of this 'manoverse' is in the frame.
Donald Trump Courts the Manoverse

Related to guestions about who's behind all this right wing bro content, Taylor Lorenz @taylorlorenz has an excellent piece out today asking this very question... 'Who's funding these guys?'

Following a few more breadcrumbs...
1. A month ago intrepid reporter Carole Cadwalladr, who follows election interference, told us to be ready for a tsunami of misogyny:

2. If we look at current polling, the one overriding disparity is the gender gap. See below.
So, is misogyny the foreign influence weapon in this election, just as targeted social media disinformation was in 2016? And, is covert support for all this hyper manhood content the means by which this weapon is being deployed?

Everybody please go out and vote and counteract the shitty men of my generation!

It seems Gen X shows the strongest support for Trump...
And that's why I don't get on with people of my age (I'm a Gen Xer). What's wrong with my cohort?

Seriously AmericaWe need to have a talk about White men.

GenX certainly, but every cohort is Trump 10+.
It would seem sensible therefore, that influence operations would target men to solidify this advantage, attract more to the fold, and perhaps most importantly, get segments like younger men who are historically low voter turnout, to the polls.

We really do!
I think Tim Walz is trying to have that conversation, but there is a lot of he-man girl-hater bro nonsense to shout over.

cultivating misogyny is one of the biggest ways large numbers of American men make themselves weak & open to foreign influence
why is it so hard for some to accept that women are equal human beings with thoughts & feelings just like them? this weakness shouldn't even exist & yet it's so common

Step one is to shut down the disinfo channels pumping the worst crap into the public space. Glad to see the Tenet indictment. Probably 10-20 more of those. -

@Lucinda @mastodonmigration maybe we can downgrade them to a man-borhood or a man-de-sac. I'd really prefer "ManHole."

@mastodonmigration @TCatInReality @PeterAperlo @taylorlorenz There are enough Walz-like middle-aged white men out here to make Walz resonate with people.

Good question.
-
@mastodonmigration Pretty ashamed of my age group right now. Whatβs going on, #GenX??
@taylorlorenz -
GenX for sure, but the problem is with all men. Men are at least Trump 60% in ever age group.
The real question here is really, what is going on with men?
