I think the phrase "by fans and for fans" is a pretty terrifying collection of words when you get down to it.
But it also summarizes the general issue of our current pop media moment as well.

Being pissed at people being actively oppressed by their government for not overthrowing them well enough, especially when the government disproportionately has all the fire power, is less than useful. it’s smug masturbation.

Hey, sorry we’re only resisting so hard that Trump is deploying 1500 elite paratroopers to our state to try and quash the growing rebellion against him. If you actually want to stop this send us fucking military aid and troops.
I don't think Americans has even a remote clue about how angry Europeans are with them. And people here are very clear about this being an American problem, not just a Trump problem.

Incredible thread. A charter bus got hijacked by some French dude that can't drive and this guy liveskeeted the whole thing.
I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

Imagine investing the world economy in data centers just to get beaten by a girl with a box of pencils.

These are concentration camps. And these are the numbers they're comfortable sharing.
This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

As an indie journalist outside of both the radical and the establisment organizing world, I think this dynamic is pretty evident. I also think radicals might benefit from having more of a plan for how to counteract attempts to co-opt demonstrations by establishment-oriented nonprofits.
One of the purposes of non-profit complex orgs is to gatekeep, deter and co-opt organizing, especially when it's militant and working.
So if you suddenly see polished posts by "otg" groups using social justice jargon to demand people abandon wildly successful tactics, it's worth being skeptical.

This basically sums up Season 6 of Lost.
In Donkey Kong Bananza, demolishing all destructible terrain on DK Island reveals a shadow sphere that was hidden at the heart of the island. While the sphere is simply a darkness effect for the cave, it was clearly not intended to be seen like this and creates an ominous effect.
