Alex Jones Vs Qanon Ext. Rec Center ALEX JONES VS QANON EXT. REC CENTER - NIGHT INT. REC CENTER TOM and ELIZABETH stand in front of a small group of people. Behind them is a screen projecting the words: "QANON DISCUSSION GROUP" ELIZABETH Thank you so much for coming today! I'm glad to see so many people without masks! Our leader, Q, would be proud. Everyone cheers and claps. TOM We're both really excited to be back in action after this pandemic BS. A mid 30's man, SIMON, throws a fist in the air. SIMON Yeah! ELIZABETH You're a new face. Why don't you introduce yourself? SIMON My name is Simon. I've been looking for a group of like minded individuals and, well, I'm just glad to be here. TOM We're glad to have you! Why don't you start us off. What's something you think we should discuss? SIMON I want to know what we plan on doing about the chemicals in the water that are turning people into homosexuals? ELIZABETH Oh... Um... 2. Elizabeth looks to Tom. TOM Sir, I don't want to be rude, but this is a serious group. We're not here to peddle nonsense. SIMON Nonsense!? Have you read the reports? Even the god damn frogs are getting gay! People snicker around him. Simon turns to them. SIMON (CONT'D) This is funny to you!? TOM It's just... so ridiculous. ELIZABETH I mean, gay frogs? She chuckles and everyone else joins in. SIMON UGH! It's called estrogen mimickers! They're being placed in tap water, soda, juice boxes -- in order to feminize the entire country! It's silent for a moment. TOM But.... why? ELIZABETH Yeah, that makes no sense. Simon throws his hands in the air. SIMON Haven't you guys looked around lately. Everywhere you look, there's a new gay person about. Don't let them social engineer you! TOM Well, for one, people are born gay -- they don't turn gay-- 3. ELIZABETH And frankly, it's really insulting that you would even suggest that people could turn gay. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. RANDOM PERSON Yeah! ELIZABETH Now, let's get back to the issue at hand: A secret child predator ring, exclusive to the Democratic Party, that exists under the D.C. Pizzeria, Comet Ping Pong, and is intended to extract adrenochrome from children. ALL Yeah! TOM Now, that makes sense. SIMON Woah, woah, wait. That's what this is? TOM Yeah, you didn't see the sign out front? SIMON No. I did, I just thought this was part of the "vaccines cause autism" circle of people. The people around him groan. TOM Wooooow! And you're anti-vax?? SIMON Okay... someone's been watching too much lamestream media over here. ELIZABETH Oh, we don't watch Fox News. TOM We get our sources the way it's suppose to be -- directly from anonymous message boards. 4. Simon laughs. SIMON You guys are so stupid! That could be a dorky teenager for all you know! TOM He has secret knowledge from within The White House! Some even say it's Donald Trump himself! Simon shakes his head. SIMON You guy's are being duped! (then) That's why I trust guys like Alex Jones. He's the guy that really knows whats going on. TOM Alex Jones is a moron! The guy is just trying to sell his supplements! And, you're eating it all up! SIMON Look, we can sit here arguing all day but, clearly, you guys are a lost cause. TOM Says the guy who thinks there are machines that control the weather! SIMON Not machines -- electromagnetic waves!!! RANDOM PERSON (interjects) Wait! The random person looks at his phone. RANDOM PERSON (CONT'D) Q just announced that he's going to reveal himself! Go to four chan quick. ELIZABETH It's happening! 5. Tom fiddles around on the computer and projects the video. On screen is ALEX JONES. ALEX JONES It's time for you all to know. I'm Q! And we're going to disrupt the new world order! Everyone in the room groans. TOM Alex Jones -- are you kidding me!? SIMON Hey, maybe this isn't such a loony thing after all. Everyone else stands up and leaves the room. SIMON (CONT'D) Where's everyone going? ALEX JONES Where we go one, we go all! SIMON Now, this is more like it. CUT TO BLACK..

  • Parlermonium: a Data-Driven UX Design Evaluation of the Parler Platform
    Parlermonium: A Data-Driven UX Design Evaluation of the Parler Platform EMMA PIERONI, DePaul University, USA PETER JACHIM, DePaul University, USA NATHANIEL JACHIM, University of Michigan, USA FILIPO SHAREVSKI, DePaul University, USA This paper evaluates Parler, the controversial social media platform, from two seemingly orthogonal per- spectives: user design perspective and data science. UX design researchers explore how users react to the interface/content of their social media feeds; Data science researchers analyze the misinformation flow in these feeds to detect alternative narratives and state-sponsored disinformation campaigns. We took a critical look into the intersection of these approaches to understand how Parler’s interface itself is conductive to the flow of misinformation and the perception of “free speech” among its audience. Parler drew widespread attention leading up to and after the 2020 U.S. elections as the “alternative” place for free speech, as a reaction to other mainstream social media platform which actively engaged in labeling misinformation with content warnings. Because platforms like Parler are disruptive to the social media landscape, we believe the evaluation uniquely uncovers the platform’s conductivity to the spread of misinformation.

He painted a bleak picture of America: a nation of crumbling, third-world infrastructure, “rusted-out factories,” leaky borders, inner cities wallowing in pov- erty, a depleted military and a feckless political class that prospered as the country fell into ruin. He promised an “America First” policy that would turn it all around. “This American carnage stops right here and stops right now,” Trump declared. The inaugural address echoed the themes of a campaign that had electrified the white nationalist – or “alt-right” – movement with its promise to stop all Muslim travelers at the border and deport millions of undocumented immigrants – killers and “rapists,” Trump called them.

  • Understanding Online Comments Discourse on Misinformative and Political Youtube Videos
    YouTube Chatter: Understanding Online Comments Discourse on Misinformative and Political YouTube Videos 1 1 2 3 Aarash Heydari ,​ Janny Zhang ,​ Shaan Appel ,​ and Xinyi Wu ​ ​ ​ ​ Professor Gireeja Ranade Abstract We conduct a preliminary analysis of comments on political YouTube content containing misinformation in comparison to comments on trustworthy or apolitical videos, labelling the bias and factual ratings of our channels according to Media Bias Fact Check where applicable. One of our most interesting discoveries is that especially-polarized or misinformative political channels (Left-Bias, Right-Bias, PragerU, Conspiracy-Pseudoscience, and Questionable Source) generate 7.5x more comments per view and 10.42x more replies per view than apolitical or Pro-Science channels; in particular, Conspiracy-Pseudoscience and Questionable Sources generate 8.3x more comments per view and 11.0x more replies per view than apolitical and Pro-Science channels. We also compared average thread lengths, average comment lengths, and profanity rates across channels, and present simple machine learning classifiers for predicting the bias category of a video based on these statistics. Motivation Many social media platforms have recently seen an increase in the spread of misinformation, defined as information which is misleading or factually incorrect. This spread was well documented in the wake of the 2016 US presidential election, and has colloquially been labelled as the spread of “fake news.” Inflammatory articles and stories often incorporate video content, and their comment sections provide an approximate measure of how people react to a given story. Despite this, comment threads on YouTube videos have not been studied in the context of fake news as much as on other social media platforms such as Facebook and Reddit, likely since YouTube emphasizes hosting videos whereas websites like Reddit focus on encouraging discourse.

  • From Alt Right to Alt Lite: Naming the Hate
    From Alt Right to Alt Lite: Naming the Hate Reuters In just one year, the alt right has gone from relative obscurity to being one of the United States' most visible extremist movements. This stratospheric rise is due in large part to the rhetoric employed during the 2016 presidential campaign, which granted implicit approval to the once-taboo hallmarks of the far right – overt racism, anti-Semitism, xenophobia, misogyny, and anti-Muslim bigotry. The alt right capitalized on the moment by amplifying those messages while loudly rejecting mainstream conservatism and its followers (often referred to as “cucks”). You can’t discuss the alt right without mentioning the “alt lite,” a loosely connected movement of right-wing activists who reject the overtly white 1 / 34 supremacist ideology of the alt right, but whose hateful impact is more significant than their “lite” name suggests. The alt lite embraces misogyny and xenophobia, and abhors “political correctness” and the left. While the alt right has been around for years, the current iteration is still figuring out what it is – and isn’t. And it’s early days for the alt lite, which means both movements’ ideologies are still somewhat fluid, as are the lines that separate them. Numerous examples in our list of “Who’s Who” demonstrate that “membership” in the alt lite does not preclude working with people on the alt right (and vice versa). What is the Alt Right?

  • The Prophecies of Q
    The Prophecies of Q American conspiracy theories are entering a dangerous new phase • Story by Adrienne LaFrance • Illustrations by Arsh Raziuddin • June 2020 Issue If you were an adherent, no one would be able to tell. You would look like any other American. You could be a mother, picking leftovers off your toddler’s plate. You could be the young man in headphones across the street. You could be a bookkeeper, a dentist, a grandmother icing cupcakes in her kitchen. You may well have an affiliation with an evangelical church. But you are hard to identify just from the way you look—which is good, because someday soon dark forces may try to track you down. You understand this sounds crazy, but you don’t care. You know that a small group of manipulators, operating in the shadows, pull the planet’s strings. You know that they are powerful enough to abuse children without fear of retribution. You know that the mainstream media are their handmaidens, in partnership with Hillary Clinton and the secretive denizens of the deep state. You know that only Donald Trump stands between you and a damned and ravaged world. You see plague and pestilence sweeping the planet, and understand that they are part of the plan. You know that a clash between good and evil cannot be avoided, and you yearn for the Great Awakening that is coming. And so you must be on guard at all times. You must shield your ears from the scorn of the ignorant. You must find those who are like you.

  • Download Timeline (Pdf)
    THE PLOTS A TIMELINE OF TERROR In the last six years, incidents of domestic terrorism in the United States have been overwhelmingly car- ried out by solitary “lone wolves” or leaderless groups of just two people. The Southern Poverty Law Center’s study of the nature of these attacks is based on the following 63 incidents, which occurred between April 1, 2009, and Feb. 1, 2015. The list includes both terrorist attacks and foiled terrorist plots, as well as unplanned situations, such as traffic stops, where extremists were confronted by law enforce- ment officials and reacted with major violence. The ideologies driving the homegrown extremists in each incident are divided into two broad categories: “antigovernment,” meaning the perpetrators see the federal government as their chief enemy and generally subscribe to the tenets of the so-called “Patriot” movement; and “hate,” which encompasses hatred based on race, religion, gender, and sexual orientation, among others (jihadist attacks and anti-abortion violence are included in this category). An asterisk in the “outcome” field, which lists the number of people killed, indicates that one or more assailants died during the terrorist incident. If the incident is listed as a “group” attack, there were at least two assail- ants involved. The “perpetrator” field includes a few cases where the defendant has been accused, but not convicted, of a crime. The cases that mention “sovereign citizens” refer to people with radical anti- government views who believe most laws don’t apply to them. 16 southern poverty law center APRIL 4, 2009 | IDEOLOGY ANTIGOVERNMENT MAY 30, 2009 | IDEOLOGY HATE INCIDENT TYPE LONE WOLF | INCIDENT DYNAMIC UNPLANNED INCIDENT TYPE GROUP | INCIDENT DYNAMIC PLANNED WEAPON FIREARMS | OUTCOME 3 KILLED WEAPON FIREARMS | OUTCOME 2 KILLED PERPETRATOR | MALE, 22 | PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA PERPETRATORS FEMALE, 41; MALES, 34 AND 42 | ARIVACA, ARIZ.
