1) I did a quick, informal count of my news and opinion sources, putting them into two categories. Pro-Tulsi, and anti-Tulsi.

It was a 40/60 split favoring anti-Tulsi.

But when I did a scan of my timeline, do you know what I found?

2) 75% pro-Tulsi.

Now isn’t that weird. Twitter, who admits to cultivating timelines with shadowbans and ‘relevance’ markers and the like, is actually BOOSTING pro-Tulsi opinions.

DISCLAIMER: I’m not roping pro tulsi people into a wider conspiracy.

3) What I AM saying is that our timelines, the information being fed to us, the molds our opinions are shaped to are being deliberately skewed to be pro-Tulsi.

Isn’t that just fucking WEIRD?

4) Now, I could get angry, yank out the red ring, call people slack-jawed imbeciles and the reason that the GOP is more afraid of the MSM than its own voting base leading to shit like all but 60
-odd Republicans in congress attacking Trump for a Syria withdrawal we all wanted.

5) I COULD go on another 30 tweet rant about the fact that there exists a majority of us that are so easily manipulated that OF COURSE the GOP caves and breaks from our desires. They can’t trust us to have a steady opinion, so why should they stand by Trump is their view.

6) What I will tell you is that we are in the physical embodiment of the cave allegory. Our opinions are being deliberately shaped to the benefits of one faction of leftists over another. We are being led like sheep to cheer for one faction of destructive leftists over another.

7) Break away from that conditioning. It is hard, I know, I fell for it for a time too, that’s why I’m trying my best not to rant at people (and failing miserably).

But recognize what’s happening. Mental conditioning. It is mind control. It is shadows on the cave wall.

8) Here’s a factoid for you: Wictor and Mr Montes-Bradley, aka Debradelai over at social.quodverum.com, do not like Tulsi. At all.

@tracybeanz sees the propaganda around Tulsi.

They’re all agreeing with each other, and they all have consistent ‘right’ streaks.

@tracybeanz 9) But: they’re all being drowned out. Algorithms are pushing down those who agree with them. Combinations of words in the tweets are being analyzed to measure the pro or anti-Tulsi nature of the tweets and the pro Tulsi tweets from the right are getting boosted.

@tracybeanz 10) I broke the algorithm, if only for a moment, thanks to my choice of words in the first tweet of the Tulsi rant combined with clutch primetime retweets from @drawandstrike and others.

But that? That’s the exception that proves the rule.

@tracybeanz @drawandstrike 11) I’m not mad. I’m not ranting. But FFS people... learn to LOOK. Learn to ANALYZE. Pattern recognition, human brains are INSANELY FUCKING GOOD at it. Just try to see when it is you’re being manipulated, like with the artificial boosting some sports bra company got yesterday. /e
