2/ we were told of dystopian future "corporations will oppress you in myriad ways". we were baited into giving governments extraordinary powers over corporations
every single thing came to pass - and it's the governments & their NGOs doing it. le pikachu shock face. and no neons
1/ 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*.
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.
1/ 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.
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.
