Almost. The thing with the conservative mindset (referring to right wing authoritarianism generally, not Tories in particular) is that they are motivated by fear of others. Sorry for causing confusion, I’m not from here originally and I don’t even make sense back home, sometimes.

The graph illustrates a divergence between real knife crime and fears about knife crime on X (where the blame is seemingly laid on monetisation of posts).

The dot I’m connecting mentally here is that preferential treatment is being given to fear-based posting about crime and minorities, which is exactly what you would do as a billionaire who wants to buy a mass media platform. A tale as old as semaphore, that.

So, the idea of a right wing Londoner getting spooked by suspiciously boosted, factually misleading scare content promoted by an even richer, more right wing bastard kind of makes me laugh. They’re driving each other crazier and crazier all the time, and ultimately it’s not all that funny.
