Does that flowchart/mind-map/??? make sense to you?

Are you asking a question about the illustration as an illustration, or are you asking about how much I personally can confirm/agree with the information in the illustration? LIke, are you asking a structural question or a content question?

None of it "makes sense" to me but sure seems there's a consistent effort to fragment our democracies. I'm not immediately ready to blame big oil (as does the tweet's author) from what i've seen. The Russian, Chinese, and North Korean cyberwar efforts make more sense from a motivation point of view to me. For those actors, getting party A rilled up against party B is a win. For big oil, which i am completely willing to blame over climate response being fragmented, the leaps and gambles of instigating more generalized chaos seems to work against purposes.

Putin being a partner in big oil...well, there's definitely an overlap between the world's autocracies and big oil. (Saudi Arabia, and who else as well?)

[elainegrey]

Well, i'll admit to a more parochial definition of big oil than global oil.

I'm easily overwhelmed by infographics.

I just know that the folks that I used to counterprotest because they were Nazis are the same folks who are heavily involved in anti-mandate/coup-type activities. They're grifters who float from cause to cause, as long as that cause is killing a bunch of people they don't like.

No. The graphic would be more easily informative if only individuals surrounded the central Freedom Convoy icon. And avoid cross-lines, especially if they only obfuscate, like Adopt-A-Trucker that doesn't need to be placed where it is. (And leave out vague nonsense like "American/Canadian Individuals & Groups".) Leave an obvious ring of organization at the outer rim, individuals in the middle layer, and arrange them as much as possible as clean spokes radiating from the center.
