The New York Times is running news stories about recent neo-nazi demonstration and arrests in Nashville.
Assuming it's not a coincidence that the Bitcoin conference (including Trump and maybe Musk) is going to be in Nashville this week - and yes this is an assumption I'm making for the sake of this exploration - which of the following seems most likely? ("Some parts of all of them" is a perfectly valid answer)
- neo Nazis feel that this (BTC conference week) is a good environment for them
- NYT is doing some pre-astroturfing so that they can connect Bitcoin/freedom tech to Nazis and the far right
- mostly a coincidence
And before you go twisting my words, I'm NOT saying the neo-nazi activity was unconcerning or overblown or something. But I am speculating on which parties invovled here are leveraging the Nashville context for their own narrative goals. Harming Bitcoin and Nostr in the process, naturally.
What is a New York Times?
Nobody cares.

agreed, but normies care. and it's useful to be aware of the larger narrative context one finds oneself in (even if that means everyone else is insane)
division will be employed
I know what you're saying, but in my neck of the world, even normies are caring less what the MSM says.
I judge people negatively when I find out that they actually care what the NYT says.... absolute psyop trash.
