I think being capable of shit like this and being 100% serious about it is part of the reason why these people win culture wars so often.

There were actually fairly inorganic posts by transgender pseudo-leftists, the kind who say shit like "bioleninism," being made for a while. But that's just a small group of people shilling, not a coordinated effort.

There are a couple /leftypol/ tourists who shill threads and keep them alive but they are just here because they see 4chan as the right wing boogeyman website so they want to go fight the good fight and waste their Friday.

You're getting it wrong. Bioleninism is a right wing concept. It's an analysis of how and why leftists organize, but it's highly critical of them. It's hard to think of someone more right wing than Spandrell.

I'll add Frances Stoner Saunders to this list, you have to learn about how the CIA influences media

https://thegrayzone.com/2018/08/20/inside-americas-meddling-machine-the-us-funded-group-that-interferes-in-elections-around-the-globe/
One example of how the NED works
https://thegrayzone.com/2021/04/27/us-government-media-myanmar-propagandize-western-intervention/

Remember, don't be a direction brain and resist false dichotomies. You can sympathize with a side or conflict that the CIA/NED/deep state is also "sympathizing" with because it serves their interests WITHOUT being a supporter of the deep state. You can use Grayzone reporting without being ignorant of the fact that someone from the other side is probably funding them. It's like Chomsky said, there are no neutral parties, you just have to read from multiple different angles and try to figure out the truth between the lines of them.

No matter your political views, you should know how constructed and controlled most news in the 20th century has been. Nothing is accidental. The liberal democracies really started doing this around WW1. Nothing is unconnected either - Bernays and Lippmann didn't materialize out of thin air. They came out of the pioneering "experiments" in "public relations" (aka controlling public perception of Y, so you can do Y while making people think it's X).

Marshall McLuhan is a bit tedious to read in his popular writings because some of his avantgarde style feels kitschy now but he and his teacher Harold Innis are good.
>Innis's analysis of the effects of communications on the rise and fall of empires led him to warn grimly that Western civilization was now facing its own profound crisis. The development of powerful communications media such as mass-circulation newspapers had shifted the balance decisively in favour of space and power, over time, continuity and knowledge. The balance required for cultural survival had been upset by what Innis saw as "mechanized" communications media used to transmit information quickly over long distances. The new media had contributed to an obsession with "present-mindedness", wiping out concerns about past or future.

Outside of Twitter and Reddit too, but in a slightly different way.
