Right now we are experiencing a fascinating swarm of Bot accounts on NZ Twitter all pretending to be Maori and all suddenly arguing how right David Seymour is over the Treaty Principles Referendum Bill.
It all seems very orchestrated doesn’t it?
It smells a lot like Atlas Network doesn’t it?
The global mobilisation of right-wing attacks on critical race theory is reflective of the influential role of the US in disseminating the far-right ideology, offering the discursive infrastructure for potential US interference in democratic processes across spaces. Atlas Network, a US-based global network of right-wing policy infrastructures, actively pushes policies promoting privatisation, interfering with political processes and inserting right-wing neoliberal frames into electoral systems. Atlas Network receives funding from a range of actors including the US State Department, the National Endowment for Democracy, and the infamous Koch Foundation. Consider here the role of the Atlas Network in shaping Latin American politics, and in shaping the wholesale privatisation of the public sectors.
That would be the Atlas Network who recently threatened The Daily Blog.
…gosh wouldn’t an army of Hate Bots help twist perception for Atlas?

Nothing surprises me atlas is not hard at work stirring it up.
Mean while NZ is sinking to the bottom and the world is burning .
I know what’s sinking and burning, and it’s not Aotearoa NZ. It’s resentful bigots who sink deeper and deeper into a quagmire of resentment that eventuates in hatred every time they post on social media, about Maori pe see, ToW, Te Hikoi.
Every click on Xitter is money into Elon Musk’s pocket and into his personal poisoned political causes.
Don’t go there (including embedded video clips in MSM news stories), don’t reference it, don’t link to it, boycott its supporters, don’t be manipulated by its algorithms and don’t just be a mark for its trolls.
Likewise Tesla owners. I fucking hate Tesla owners.
Unwaranted harsh criticism but point taken.
Yes keep off X everyone. Don’t go there.
Seymour’s foreign masters deploying their technology more widely.
