You'd fit right in working for Facebook.

Yeah like imagine if Twitter had been banned in the US and how their election might have turned out. Things might have turned out worse like getting a dictator who is wanting to reignite land grabs of neighboring countries.

Not banning Twitter and attempts to educate from the liberals really worked out.

Education hasn't worked seeing how fascism has successfully taken hold through american social media, and no transparency over algorithms. And the people in charge pushing for fascism owning the sites and tuning the algorithm to their liking to promote and suppress information they want the masses to hook on to.

And it's not like only dumb uneducated people who have been lured into it. Those with educated backgrounds are just as easily influenced. That there are antivax nurses tells you everything there is to know about how effective education is.

Can you imagine people on /r/fednews, expressing what is going on if their true identities were known under the government that is in place right now? Trusted authorities can become the enemy in an instant as the US has shown to the world. All of a sudden what was considered safe expressions become thought crimes.

Hell imagine if that was how Twitter operated before the Musk purchase, and then all of a sudden him having access to that information as the trusted authority. Your concept of trusted authority relies on the trusted authority actually remaining something you believe can't be bought out or compromised.

Not to mention how often data breeches happen so trusted authority becomes everyone's information.

They did also resign joe rogan in 2024 to give him a $250 million dollar deal. He's played a huge part in radicalizing his listeners.

Is he another Russian asset getting ready to sell out his country?

I think point is to put on record for the history books who the turncoats are that supported this fascist takeover.

What...I thought we were team Hannibal.

We are reddit though just on a different site... lot of people mainly moved because of the api change.

Even someone believing they are "not like other redditors" is one of the most reddit stereotypes. Haha.

On the plus side civil unrest in the US requiring a stronger domestic military presence means the US may have less support to wage war on other countries. That's easier to do when the population is calmly falling in line.

Americans are capable of riots, but it seems to require so marination before some trigger event happens on their soil that causes emotions to suddenly spark.
