I'm sorry but you can't do that. You must show your required meme-stealing credentials, sir.

Oh yeah I believe they use babies as meat shields and toss them around as decoys. Yep, that sounds like what people do during war, Abby.

There are no other alternatives, don't you see? Not a single one. 😢

Idk if it's just a trope, but there are allegedly people so into the conspiracy wondering if they were built from the ground up or the tip down. 😅

Feeding Murray - 15 Years apart ♥🐊 (lemmy.world)
 

Image descriptionA tweet from Robert Irwin features two side-by-side photos taken 15 years apart at the same location with the same crocodile named Murray.

  • The top photo shows Steve Irwin (Robert's father) wearing his signature khaki outfit, holding food in the air as Murray, a large crocodile, rises up on his hind legs toward it. A crowd of spectators watches in the background.
  • The bottom photo shows Robert Irwin, also dressed in khaki, recreating the same moment with Murray in the same spot. Robert mirrors his father's pose, with Murray again rising toward the food. The crowd in the background is watching intently.

The caption reads: "Dad and me feeding Murray… same place, same croc – two photos 15 years apart ❤️🐊"

These instructions don't appear to be documented. Here's a post from a bit while ago that covers the basic functions of participating on Lemmy via Mastodon mentions.

Where can I find information on disinformation? (lemmy.world)
 

TL;DR: I want to learn about disinformation. Where do recommend I start?

Background:

I've been a bit apprehensive about disinformation for a while now more than ever with the rising tide of post truth content on the internet and the active toppling of governments from within using info warfare. I'm also seeing a whole lot of users in suspicious activities online who, for example, leave spicy live bait in political comment sections. So I've gotten suspicious and also curious about this secret world behind the veil.

I'm not exactly sure of what I'm looking for because of this unknown unknown, so bear with me. I'm imagining learning about an underlying theory with illustrative examples that relate to modern groups and their tactics.

I'm thinking of something more robust than articles or blog posts and yet less dense than academic material, so maybe some books or long-form videos would be great, although any format is welcome. I wonder if there are reliable & trustworthy authors, science communicators, intelligentsias, or researchers themselves who put out this accessible content.

I'm familiar with the book An Ugly Truth: Inside Facebook's Battle for Domination that exposes the play-by-play of foreign disinformation farms in American politics during the 2018 election. I thought it was great but limited in scope to Facebook along with the few countries it touches on. But learning about the rest of the nations along a broader timeline would be more ideal.

Do you have any suggestions? What would be a right approach to get myself soaking wet in the topic?
