Is the problem really “human brains,” or is it the fire hose of lies that is Facebook
It’s surmised that 10 million people saw on Facebook the false claim that Pope Francis came out in favor of Trump’s election in 2016. Living in a news bubble of their own making many undoubtedly believed it. (This was the most-shared news story on Facebook in the three months leading up to the 2016 election, researchers report.)
Or the absence of self-rule, and the structures which preserve oligarchy?
Human minds definitely aren’t equipped for ruling others (see the decisions of ruling classes) and don’t seem well-equipped for being ruled by others either.
It may be a sign of our times that, on reading:
“I feel like I’ve finally come to terms with the responsibility I have as a creator—about 100,000,000 subs too late, but you know.”
My immediate reaction is “yeah, right. Prove it with more than a quick monetary donation”
[edit] Aaaaaand the other shoe drops…
Harper’s cabinet let the US rendition, torture, blind, and nearly kill a Canadian boy for a decade in contravention of Geneva Accords and in contravention of the Canadian government’s obligatiob to defend human rights. Now, Harper’s old pal Scheer is using this to attack JT.
Hamish Marshall, the man behind the Conservative Party of Canada campaign and social media, literally built Rebel Media - a world leader in creating and exporting “white nationalism”, aka actual nazid.
Agreed. I’m not surprised we got there, given the monkey wrench Nazism threw into both Christianity and Pagan mythology, but a new thread might be in order.
Don’t give drumpf ideas!!
A CPC candidate has invited a white supremacist to join their campaign, because why have just TWO white supremacist parties (wPPC, CNP) when you can have three?
The epitome of dog-bites-man news:
These men keep pronouncing “asshole” wrong. It’s not “incel,” it’s “asshole.”
I heard an excerpt of his confession on the radio this morning.
The incel word salad bingo was quite something. The only thing I can compare it to is transcripts from the Manson family trials, or interviews with someone recently rescued from a cult who hasn’t been reprogrammed yet. Everything just circles back to the pat phrases.
Get ready to fire up that shocked-not-shocked.gif because boy howdy, I am not shocked by this:
So, in return for support for Trump Tower Instanbul, Trump’s withdrawing more US troops from Rojava, and goving the green light for Erdogan’s forces to invade more of Rojava.
Total fake news!
It’s far more likely that the Kurds weren’t able to find dirt on Biden.
Erdogan’s auxiliaries are reportedly filming themselves executing prisoners.
P.S. Also reportedly executed at least 10 civilians, besides the collateral murders.
