 in which @ezraklein discusses manufacturing consent ("agenda control") - media and Dems in alliance.

threadreaderapp.com/thread/1447993…
2/
 the unsaid part:
the freakout was over Trump being the rare non-Dem also able of controlling the agenda
3/
 Ezra's thread on importance of professional manufacturing of consent is also a *sales pitch*:
"to win elections, be in good graces with us"

 in which @MrPrudentialist documents a particularly nasty example of
the progs baiting a new civil war

2/
 the title: 100%
the progs won't stop until you follow their ever-changing rules to the T.

a good point about *language manipulation*, and dripping contempt

worth noting how calls for unity by the ruling elite are calls to *obey*. ImageImage
3/
 let's disagree a bit why my esteemed colleague:

>there's been a growing sentiments
>for some kind of national separation

with the blue tribe having a death grip on the comms and on the narrative-making, i surmise the sentiment is being *pumped* rather than grown organically. Image

 consider 4 right-wing powers:
- building a successful organization for your family and your tribe
- getting rich, passing that on
- leading people
- teaching & raising the next generation

those have been deeply undermined through progressive legislation and cultural artifacts
2/
 in particular legislation that mandates you have to include blue-tribe people in your organization
- you can't simply pick anybody.

and the blue-tribe members get gov aid in dismantling (suing) your organization according to their own sensibilities (tilted playing field).
3/
 you can't amass money for your own family & tribe, the gov redistributes it to *competing* others.

 interesting to see a fill-in template for "planning campaigns".

it really is a revolution of midwits.
2/
 makes you wonder what kind of fill-in templates the bolsheviks used back in the day

3/
 pretty sure this part was not written on any fill-in template tho

 a new installment of the op:
2/
 >In the three years I’ve spent at Facebook, I’ve found multiple blatant attempts by foreign national governments to abuse our platform on vast scales to mislead their own citizenry,

maybe don't ask a gov to get even more power over FB then?
3/
 >That power contrasted with what she said seemed to be a lack of desire from senior leadership to protect democratic processes in smaller countries

somehow i trust the governments even less with this shit. and journalists *even* less than that.

 the "facebook whistleblower" is an op to push for more censorship. her today's testimony is for pushing more censorship to stem - get this - the danger of "political polarization" and "stoking division". manufacturing consent much?
2/
 even worse, the "harming kids" narrative is based on an online poll (!). apparently 15% teens responded FB makes their lives worse, 34% that it makes their lives *better*, and 51% didn't lean either way.

this is how a "whistleblower" made it to congressional hearing lol
3/
 the unsaid part is that FB is killing the old style media, and their narrative-making capability.

the other unsaid part is journalists were told to stop being little hall monitors.

it absolutely is a media hit op.

 Interesting to witness Upper Echelon Gamers gradually fall for the 2nd trap of journalism:

reporting on spicy accusations + legal action = ultimately *unquestionable* angle.

Power corrupts, and this is ultimate power, if in small doses.
2/
 I love Upper Echelon Gamers' content - it's varied, intense, well researched and presented. He even earned a complimentary twitter ban to emphasize speaking truth to the power. RIP.

Saw him as "by the people, for the people" kind of journalism.

But is that the case anymore?
3/
 What is a journalist to do, when given an easy, unquestionable angle?

Meta-question it. Always. Be the unpopular guy asking, "but are we seeing all that there is to it?" when people make teary eyes and the state sends legal cavalry for the - predictably always same - victims.
