Miss disinformation

Oh, weaponized internet
Can't fight it
Miss disinformation
Oh, weaponized internet
Can't fight it
Social credit score on the up up up
Oh, weaponized internet
Can't fight it
Ima freeze your bank account
Good luck

Oh, weaponized internet
Can't fight it
Social credit score on the up up up
Oh, weaponized internet
Can't fight it
Ima freeze your bank account
Good luck

Oh, weaponized internet
Can't fight it
Social credit score on the up up up
Oh, weaponized internet
Can't fight it
Ima freeze your bank account
Good luck

Oh, weaponized internet
Can't fight it
Social credit score on the up up up
Oh, weaponized internet
Can't fight it
Ima freeze your bank account
Good luck

Oh, weaponized internet
Can't fight it
Social credit score on the up up up

If you think this is the end
Then it's really the beginning
Yeah, what's up is down, and down is up
And all of it is leading
To the snake, snake, snake
To really start eating
Its own tail
Just a tall tale
One that's worth reading, I think

Oh, weaponized internet
Can't fight it
Ima freeze your bank account
Good luck

Content

Track twenty-five on KŌAN, LP-only fourth movement, penultimate before to everyone who had a good pandemic (LP closer). Not on the KŌAN A/B/C chapters. Luke solo.

The title is a triple pun: Miss (pageant address), miss (fail to hit truth), and Miss Disinformation as a character, beauty queen of bad info. The hook loops oh, weaponized internet / can't fight it, then escalates from naming her to listing consequences: social credit score on the up up up, ima freeze your bank account / good luck. Social-credit anxiety and debanking turned into a chant you can't argue with.

The bridge is the koan turn: what's up is down, and down is up, all of it leading to the snake eating its own tail, just a tall tale / one that's worth reading, I think. An ouroboros, disinformation as a self-consuming story, with worth reading winking at you listening anyway. Same thread as All My Friends Live on the Internet and High Society, but here weaponized and systemic. Pairs with Get the Funk Out of My Head (news stuck on loop) and Think About It on epistemic dread. Leads from I See the Moment on Big Hug (A Good Life collapse, how to believe again).
