Mmm it could be natural, but it could be something else.

I'm just saying that if I were CIA in the current internet my method would be to place my thumb on the scales via influence in all these American companies to propel grifters and charlatans into the "spotlight" of the left so that they feed false-consciousness into the people. Keep the genuinely effective people AWAY from the spotlight and elevate the worst of them. "Useful ableist-slurs", if you will excuse the use of that phrase. It is the most apt description of how the CIA would view them and use them to achieve suppression and sabotage through online influence.
