I think that we all should be more critical about social media posts and the role they play in our understanding of the world. Social media itself is not for spreading sound information or informing the masses. Just like the TV news media before it was not nor the newspapers before that. We must think structurally, systemically, and really question the value of this stuff even if it reports news we want to hear.

At least she did the True Anon rule: always get it in writing. Now the second, maybe more important part she must carry out: never put it in writing. She shouldn’t sign anything or give equal written response. Just verbal.

Complaining about taxes, too much regulation on construction, concern trolling about crime and drugs. Local subs are supposed to be places for libertarian agitation, not people talking about killing cops in the streets.

So right before the election in 2016, a full two weeks before Trump first says the term, the lib media comes out with “fake news.” Almost overnight the entire party with the help of consultants and tech leaders begin this campaign against foreign-led information that counters US propaganda. Libs are told that Russia, China, and others are everywhere online pushing misinformation about how great America is. They’re working with Zuck, they’re working with Twitter, they’re working with reddit. They create new publications and platforms to combat fake news while making sure every lib wine aunt and online liberal nerd is anxiety-ridden about foreign influence.

Trump takes that term and beats the absolute fuck out of Dems with it to the point it’s rendered completely useless. The consultancy grift continues, they keep trying to argue about misinfo. As the election comes to pass the consultant grift around Hillary springs into action and with the help of Obummer, start up Russiagate. Trump ascended and is president because of Xi, Putin, and other “bad actors.” That language, invented by think tanks, gets completely absorbed by libs and redditors. Now your liberal wine aunt is talking like a CIA intern and stressing out about facebook memes being covert Russian psychic weapons.

We are battling a decade+ of well funded, highly organized propaganda. It seems hopeless and it does suck. However, it is not the end of hope. We can push it the other way but it’s going to take time and a lot of annoying conversations.

Yeah but in this metaphor, you are the weatherman. You’re telling us which way the wind is blowing. Humans do need to communicate with other human beings when disseminating information. It’s kind of our thing.

Wait a fucking minute

I wanted to transition to Luigi but I haven’t found the right CEO yet :(

This is going to be close to the mainstream Dem position going into mid-terms and 2028. We’re within 6-8 months of a non-Fetterman praising Trump like “It was a little rough at the beginning but he really managed to get ICE under control and do good work.”

When your decades long, inter-generational racism project begins to conflict with your current day Zionist project (i.e. your other inter-generational racism project).

Pushing GTAVI to 2028 so you can lean into anti-woke and make Vice City a cool place full of crypto kings and very stable, normal people and team up with the President who lives north of Vice City.

START THE DAMN REVOLUTION BEFORE I PISS ME-SELF.

My comment wasn’t aimed at it being removed. I reported the comment. It’s the use of 19th century racism as an own.

Jesus christ Hexbear.

If he can pull off 2% interest rates you better have some goddamn anti-doomer pills because you haven’t seen depravity yet.

but for deportation

1930s shenanigans. Everyone jumps to the Nazis but we must not forget the Technocrats, especially since Elon’s grandparents were silvershirts. I’m sure Thiel and the others are on board with technocracy.

The Technocracy movement had its brief heyday in the 1930s, its leading proponent engineer Howard Scott (1890-1970) and his Technocracy Incorporated, founded in 1933. The movement was ideologically somewhat diverse and fractious, but Scott’s version was fueled by the Great Depression and the crisis of capitalism, quack economics, post-First-World-War isolationism, and an infatuation with Fascist form and ritual. At the core of its ideology was a rejection of the “price system” underlying the global economy, in which money as a medium of exchange determines the value of goods and services and financial considerations are fundamental to all economic decision making. Citing the Depression as Exhibit A, movement adherents viewed this system as inherently unsustainable and predicted a total system collapse no later than 1940.

Technocracy Inc.’s prescriptive program had economic, political and geopolitical elements. At the core was a shift from the price system to what Scott called “an energy theory of value”, in which goods and services were to be valued based not on money but in terms of the energy inputs required to produce them. This in turn would necessitate the abandonment of democracy and the embrace of a technocracy—government by an unelected, technically skilled, empirically-driven elite with the expertise necessary to determine values and make rational resource-allocation decisions. The outward manifestations of this authoritarian outlook had a distinctly Fascist flavor: Technocracy Inc. members wore a uniform of double-breasted suit, gray shirt, and blue tie, with the red Technocracy logo worn on the lapel; drove gray-painted cars; and saluted one another in public.

Think about using energy input as a pricing mechanism. Then think about cryptocurrency.

Stop denying the agency of JFK’s head.

This goes back to even Michael Brown. People were freaking out over the desecration of memorials for Renee but cops did the same shit to Michael Brown. They had dogs piss on flours/candles/pictures around town. They would dismantle and destroy stuff. It’s one of the first things they do when something like this happens. Trayvon was pretty quick too.

The wealthy need to do atrocities in order to maintain power and wealth. However they need some kind of popular support because a state apparatus is needed to hoard and protect that level of wealth. The people who have been propagandized to hate the state in a libertarian sense, are now needed to support it. Watching a white lady get gunned down by feds would cause a dissonance. The wealthy need people who can break down the libertarian ideals so that the dissonance is dismissed. Basically they need fixers who can make the hypocrisy work.

This is where people like Walsh and Kirk come in. The dissonance can be dismissed if the victim deserved it some way, or is part of the enemy. State violence against an upstanding member of their cohort is bad, state violence against the enemy is normal. That’s what the state is supposed to do. Therefore they demonize victims to this end. The victims must have deserved it in some way. They were bad people and the state under their control only punishes bad people.

This creates the downward spiral in decorum we have noticed over the past two decades. The more they rely on this method, the more it diminishes “discourse” on the right. At some point it becomes completely incoherent and dysfunctional. Couple that with industrial technology and organization, you get mass atrocity. Couple it with social media and spectacle? Idk what the fuck is going to happen. It’s not going to be great.

Putting ground beef so close to the “foods you should eat the most” and peanuts close to “foods you should eat little of” is such malpractice.
