Digital Settler

A group who emulate colonial behavior in the digital space. They scour the internet for novel ideas from specific industry thought leaders, then produce content that is typically an inferior copy—poorly understood, half-baked, or selectively weaponized against the original intent. These diluted ideas are then disseminated through platforms like Instagram, Substack, and Patreon. This group often self-identifies as "content creators," "artists," or "journalists."
Jack is a total digital settler. He just reads Varoufakis and repackages the ideas as his own, but they're half-baked and devoid of their original meaning. "
