Servant Disinfolklorists — We Are Part of the Apparatus

Disinfolklore Propagation Apparatus that includes X, Telegram, Fox, TikTok and even the White House press team. Once Disinfolklore has infected our minds with expertly designed and targeted emotionally resonant communicable trolls, we also act as perpetuators of Disinfolklore. We repeat these trolls to others, and, often unknowingly, become Servant Disinfolklorists. If we are to confront and solve the problems that Disinfolklore and its diabolical siblings — disinformation, misinformation and other forms of propaganda — are causing inside our communities, we must first acknowledge that we are part of the problem.
