Claire Lehmann and her crew are engaging in very interesting strategy:
staying correct on secondary concerns - and also turning that into supporting the official line of their government's primary concerns du jour.
>corrective information
>we're just protecting the indigenous communities
This is particularly interesting, coming from a portugal politician.
He says flat out" fake news" because the name is not an exact translation according to him - and because the measures enacted are "sensible". Replies lists what was enacted - exactly what you expect.
>it's not a booster its' a requisite third dose
>it's your fault our measures aren't working
>credibility liquidity
Staying correct on secondary concerns - and also turning that into supporting the official line of their government's primary concerns du jour.
And they feel the squeeze from the independent media. Good riddance, Claire :-)

1/ A buddy asked in a conversation, "Do right leaning people have to adopt the stupid ACAB mindset of the wokies on Twatter?"
Strange as it might sound, it warrants a brief investigation.
2/ The woke "ACAB" is a shorthand for a broader idea of "police as a system and institution is broken". Under the "ACAB" banner, the accent is more on the whole of the system & institution - and less on individual officers.
3/ The wokes have various leftist beefs with the police, like "overpolicing certain ethnicities", "police brutality", "blue wall of silence", the generic "racism" and "white supremacy". Also "protecting / siding with white supremacists". They often throw in "domestic violence".
Never mind all the Googles of this world; the government is the OG information economy, and it *eats* anybody's information economy lunch all day every day.
Prog media tries to out-flank with emotion economy.
What is the resourceful dissident to do?
I suppose government creating a classified document is, in information economy, an analog to minting a financial instrument. Gives natural explanation to why such inflation of classified information. FOIA is, in a funny way, *direct transfers*, usually to friendly NGOs.
>what is the resourceful dissident to do?
There are many things the government inherently sucks at. For sake of example, consider *leadership*: obviously not a meta-stable thing for the government to run. And it's lightly taxed.
1/ A couple days ago Pfizer made this fail meme.
Why did their marketoids make such a grave mis-understanding?
Two theories. Let's investigate.
2/ The template: "Running Away Balloon".
Note the emotions are fairly unambiguous: a man tries joyously to get ahold of a nice ball; a pink monster forcibly stops him causing stress to the man.
3/ The first panel clearly shows the emotions: desirable ball, joyous & hopeful man moving forward.
The second panel happens rapidly & unexpectedly - shows the moment the emotions *turn* to worry. The pink monster was *an internal monster*, stopping the man's improvement.
