I remember seeing Melville regularly reTweeting World Economic Forum posts until some point probably around mid 2020 and thinking how strange it seemed for him to be presenting himself as a libertarian freedom fighter.

Great in-depth piece here. I didnt know any of this. I just remember seeing memes made from his twtr posts on FB and found that I agreed with many of them - but yeah, he certainly seemed to have come out of nowhere to then be seen everywhere. This pulls in dissidents while building social capital. To paraphrase Caitlin Johnstone, propaganda only works if you dont know its happening to you.
