Well this essay explains what's happening:

Amjad Taha, Muslim Brotherhood Maxxing and the Emirati Dysinfluencer Factory

Inside an AI-powered influence network linking Emirati influencers, pseudo-news sites, and the European far right

"The pseudo-news sites examined are low-quality content mills: opaque editorial structures, AI-generated material, recycled accounts, and a focus on social media reach rather than readership. Crucially, they often drop pointed propaganda and disinfo" View quoted note →

Bismillah

Dave Chappelle is correct in pointing out that influencers are a negative because they're "internet people", Charlie Kirk included (sorry if this pisses you off, but influencers have no souls) It almost seems like Chappelle would be the perfect candidate to onboard to Nostr, but I think he's just anti internet in general. But he may be swayed to make an anon nostr account. Would be an interesting conversation to have with him.

Another one. Zap em View quoted note →

Total SAIF victory https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/british-influencer-misnamed-misidentified-online-alleged-bondi-beach-gunman-2025-12-18/

But seriously what the heck is happening with the UAE recently?? It's like they recently cut their propaganda funding or they're using some shit tier promotional/marketing agency. I don't remember it being this egregious, or maybe I'm just now noticing. It's comical how bad it is.

"Whereas May derives both his meta-ethics and his political theory from the same source, namely, anarcho-capitalism, Assange shares his meta-ethics with virtue ethics and the romantic tradition but draws upon cybernetics and communication studies for his political theory. If one of the primary meta-ethical insights of crypto justice is that unjust societies tend to destroy the virtue of justice that is part of humanity’s inherently good nature, then the political theory of crypto justice diagnoses the institutions of power in an unjust society through a cybernetic theory of the state."

Currently reading. It's interesting to note that there are essentially two overall cypherpunk paradigms: "crypto anarchy" and "crypto justice". The former was promoted by Timothy May and the latter promoted by Julian Assange.

Oh I guess I didn't share my experience at the Bitcoin MENA conference. All I have to say is that it sucked, like really bad. They had panels dedicated to treasury companies, strategic reserves, influencers (yuck), and stablecoins. Oh and Michael Saylor of course. It was just so boring and tiring and gay. I mean there were a few interesting ones, but nothing I needed to see in person. I think there was one panel dedicated to something loosely related to bitcoin development. Besides meeting Muslims (which was really the main motivation for going), I had a great time chatting with The Bitcoin Way folks. They help newbies with custody, utxo management, node set up, and even privacy, and I was surprised to learn that they even help users get on Linux and graphene OS. I really love their vibe and what they do, I might do an affiliate program with @BitcoinMajlis with them. It's hard for me to get excited to go to another big bitcoin conference after this, but I'll probably get sucked into going again.
