#CounterSignal
Reminds me of how one of the weirdest phenomenon on bsky is how compelled everyone still feels to countersignal against rw guys when literally none of those people use this site

You read that right.

In 2024, the UCP government was sending a pretty consistent $12,000 a MONTH to the Countersignal.

For a grand total of $116,800 in a year and two months.

Of taxpayers money.

It’s all a goddamn Potemkin village. Take, for example, noted bigot Keean Bexte. He runs an “outlet” called CounterSignal.

He’s sitting with Rebel people, and pops over to Levant to show him things on his phone regularly. Taking direction.

They have as many “outlets” as they can create websites.

Because it shows you are climbing the escalation ladder way too slowly to meaningfully deter him so it will just cause him to escalate further because he thinks you’re weak. It’s the equivalent of sending Ukraine a single 1911 after the Russian invasion, it’s really a countersignal of escalation.

For reasons that can only be filed under "Inconsistent government", not only did we get a list of campaigns, we also got a list of the AMOUNT of taxpayer money that the UCP government has sent the Countersignal for ads.

new “overt level of signal / countersignal” achievement unlocked

There are, to be sure, situations in which that is an actual problem. But I actually think that we are reaching a point where our tolerance for evil has become so vast that actually it is really far more important to countersignal that something is really beyond the goddamned pale

New episode!

With the brakes being cut on Alberta politics we start with Smith's cell phone presser & cover off the events of the week!

Plus 2 FOIP results!

The Countersignal is getting taxpayer $'s from the UCP & we peek behind the UCP Pharmacare policy!

Yeah, I just double-checked

The last time the Prime Minister’s Office listed a “personal” day was Christmas Day 2023.

Ever since then, the itinerary only states “no public events scheduled.” Countersignal misleadingly calls these 116 “personal days” in 2024, which is objectively false

Interviewee at The Bulwark today argued one of Vance’s most important projects is to countersignal to MAGA base that—despite being married to the daughter of immigrants and the father of mixed kids—he, too, is a true believer in the myth that immigration poses an existential threat to white America.

I do too, I just want to beg every lib/progressive churchperson from the bottom of the cockles of my heart to drop the purposeful ugliness as trad countersignal.

You *can* have pretty liturgy and good music and chant and Latin and symmetrical churches and non-grotesque art and *maybe* even lace

oh no none of those people actually know anything about DR, they just think all japanese people are chuds unless they countersignal, it's literally just completely unjustified racism lmao

It's like a UCP press conference, with accredited media outlets:

* Western Standard

* Rebel News

* Juno News

* The Countersignal

* The National Post

#TrueNorthCentre rebranding itself this year as #Juno in partnership with the utterly loathsome disinformationist, #KeeanBexte & his #CounterSignal operation, is alarming.

Especially since #PierrePoilievre vowed to use tax dollars to fund such reprehensible #CdnDisinfo.

I unironically believe that bluesky is part of why both this game and Saros kinda got beat on, many games media people no longer use twitter and therefore no longer have to countersignal rw guys by loving this slop

I will put money that paid propagandists from The Rebel, The CounterSignal, True North and The Western Standard will be on the plane. (None of which are journalists)

The CPC is aping what Trump has done to the White House Press Gallery.

I want to assure the Energi Media community that we will NOT EVER do anything to join the cabal of lying, bullshit peddling, agitprop purveying scumbags that Danielle Smith regularly consults for her "news."

* True North
* The Western Standard
* The Rebel
The Countersignal

Good job, Nate.

Like, they have to countersignal friendship to maintain their egos

It really shows the victory of Zionist historiography that the people explicitly against Zionism will create entire inane narratives to countersignal Zionism that are, themselves, the product of Zionist historiography. Even the anti-Zionists are just parroting morally reversed hasbara.
the funniest thing is that "hebrew was dead in the diaspora until ben yehuda revived it" is a talking point of the official israeli historiography, i.e. literally falling for zionist propaganda

Sometimes I wonder if I fail to countersignal because I'm trying to be super nice or I'm actually just an intermediate type

that one rationalist woman who ate a steak in exchange for a donation to an artificial meat charity was countersignaling virtue in the true sense of the word countersignal

I have never expected curmudgeonly old men to praise my favorite media and in fact it’s generally a countersignal. Not sure why I’d expect anything else out of wrestling

As did Kenney, and the entire right wing disinformation ecosystem - including The Rebel, Western Standard, True North, The CounterSignal, etc … and Danielle Smith … none of them should get a free ride on this one.
