ICYMI – Your Separatist Anger Is Someone Else’s Side Hustle
Aaron Hagey-MacKay, investigative content creator behind The Goose Media, did something simple: he searched Alberta separatism on Twitter and checked where the accounts were from. Kenya. India. The United States. Fifteen minutes of looking.
What he found is less about separatism than about who profits when Canadians fight with each other, and how little it costs to get them started.
The conversation goes to foreign ownership of Alberta oil, the tech platforms blocking researcher access to their own data, and why engaging against disinformation feeds it just as much as agreeing with it does. The exit, if there is one, starts with asking why you are angry before you decide what to do about it.
Topics: foreign accounts Alberta separatism, rage farming algorithm, online disinformation Canada, Alberta oil foreign ownership, cognitive sovereignty
