But you are the media in this world. Everybody here is generating media everyday. Traditional media was replaced with Facebook and Twitter and reddit. How many leftist removed themselves from there? Is it any surprise that the whole world seems like it’s using right wing talking points anymore. The left fucked themselves and most still don’t get what has happened here
“social” media is prone to promoting fear & hate, unless it’s heavily moderated. Twitter & Facebook completely fail in that regard. Leftift voices leaving these platforms is a consequence of that, not the cause.
Fuck moderation. Moderation is a big part of how we got here.
They boxed people into sanitized communities. Look at the biggest groups here or on reddit. It’s usually only headlines. Very little discussion. No interpretation. Mods removed anyone they felt were ‘trolls’ it left only homogeneous spaces. No insight. Just people all agreeing with each other saying like 10 phrases over and over again.
Moderators, especially in left-leaning spaces, have turned disagreement into a bannable offense. If you do not perfectly align, you are out. Moderators enforce purity.
I posted a clip recently of an agitator burning a flag at a protest and then running away. It had hundreds of upvotes. A mod deleted it and said it was because they did not like it. That is not moderation. That is controlling what people are allowed to see.
People keep pretending the real fight is in the streets. It is not. If powerful institutions did not believe online spaces mattered, they would not spend billions shaping them. They understand the battleground. For some reason the leftist haven’t figured it out.
We need to go back to basics. Moderation should be minimal. Mods should handle illegal or truly extreme content and nothing else. Everything else should be decided by the community.
That is why upvotes and downvotes exist. Why was that forgotten
Obama had all the power he needed to stop the WoT, the Patriot Act, the militarization of police, and the corruption of Wall Street in its tracks, but nope.
The ruling stating that presidents have complete immunity from persecution for acts taken in the official capacity as president, in which the judges made it clear that could even include assassinating political rivals, did not pass during Trump’s administration.
It passed during Biden’s administration. The Supreme Court basically told him “you can assassinate Trump and nothing would happen to you.” He didn’t even pursue him for persecution.
Democrats are not just useless, they’re complicit.
We’re not there yet, man, give it another year or so, maybe another Dem admin? lol. They’ve been playing good cop/bad cop for idk how long and these people keep falling for it! Despite Obama droning his way into a Peace Prize, and imperialist moves made regardless of which color is leading the nation, they still think they can ‘vote blue’ their way out of it. And at this point in America, voting is just virtue signalling. 🤷
Like… our main problem today is not guns and ships.
The main problem is media, i.e. the propaganda system that keeps MAGAts happy to shoot themselves in the foot.
The Conservative Propaganda Machine.
Before this is over, it will have to dealt with as the National Security Threat it is.

Imagine living through the last 30 years and honestly thinking you weren’t voting for your own decimating because you picked the blue fascist team.
