Blocking is used for two reasons. 1, for people to keep nastiness off their TL, and 2, as a tactic. The Tacticians the Wings gang etc, use no. 2 (& actually publish block lists etc) much in the same way Scientologists keep unbelievers away from members. It ensures that the

only information the bubbles receive is from the centre of that bubble. It is, literally, cult creation. It is why, from the outside, some of what those within Alba are screaming, seems really odd. Of course if you are IN the bubble, the logic that has led you to scream these

things is totally rational in your world - It has been drip dripped to you, so its as if you have been educated in some stuff others haven't... When in reality, the stuff you have been drip dripped has been designed to fit a number of things. Two of which are: One: your

own original wishes-in this case centred around a dream of Scottish Independence that will transform YOUR life. Eg The British system has failed YOU PERSONALLY and the only way to get rid of it is to keep following the central bubble information dealers. Two : Within the

bubble, prejudices are nurtured, and developed and weaponised. This is currently happening across the right regarding gender rights. The GOP in the USA, for example, now use it as a main campaigning tool. The convergence of Galloway's block list bubble and Wings, really should

be alarming in this regard, and the amount of anger they have managed to create re gender rights should really be ringing alarm bells. This is an almost totally fabricated prejudice... Manufactured anger, that didnt exist just a short amount of years ago, but is now bringing

unionist ultras and independence ultras together. The massive danger here (by the way the term for this is "wedge politics,") is the next stage in this ( that has already been hinted at within these bubbles) is to encourage those in the bubble NOT to vote SNP. Either not to

vote at all, or switch votes somewhere else. To vote against their original raison d'etre for entry into politics(Indy). At present, these bubbles are still quite small. But they will continue to be nurtured by bad actors, & really do signal a danger to the cause of independence.
