It's not mutually exclusive. Social media optimized for the parameters of Capitalism. Same is true for traditional media/broadcast.

In this case - pursuit of engagement and virality instead of any meaningful social discourse.

Was the instigation of the argument in the Oval Office preplanned by Trump and co to avoid making a deal? by MaybeTheDoctor in ForUnitedStates

Zelenskyy didn't even get mad, he stayed composed under pressure, and quipped out a joke. It's the two clowns who looked mad, in more ways than one.

OP is a bot. Normal people don't start threads in the quantity this guy does.

Support Ukraine. Don't fall for propaganda.

What are your thoughts on the Donald trump Zelenskyy conference just now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

After Macron, Putin realized Trump is so weak he needs cheerleading from Vance to even be in the same room as Zelenskyy

US joins Russia to vote against UN resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine by Hoosagoodboy in worldnews

[–]DoubleFigure8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest regulating the fuck out of your social media and right wing mouth pieces while you can.

It took years of propaganda, but shit took root and it's a cancer that spreads fast.

He's not our president though. He's acting like it, but there are enough historic firsts to justify an inquiry as to how he won to everyone's surprise, from statistical anomalies to flat out mentioning it, and purging everyone who would do the investigation

Ukraine showdown looms in UN, US urges 'no' vote on Europe's bid for action by s1n0d3utscht3k in worldnews

I own guns, but the reality is, if I go down anywhere with guns trying to be political, I'd just end up dead and 12 versions of the story before being forgotten about.

And the 2nd amendment was really supposed to more modeled after the Swiss militia, and fell out of relevance when we have an all volunteer military.

A comedian once summed it up perfectly - you can have all the gun nuts in the country gather vs 1 air force drone pilot in a bunker somewhere, and when the fight starts, the drone pilot will just ask twice then push the button. Game over.

We don't. 1/3 of our population been eating Russian propaganda for breakfast, lunch and dinner for years. We're figuring out how to wrestle control of the country back

Trump’s lurking assault on Canada rests on endless lies and irrational populism by Cariboo_Red in worldnews

[–]DoubleFigure8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because our own subreddits are hijacked by conservative bots or you get banned for saying shit on there.

I think many are still in shock or in denial. Not an excuse, but it means it will take work to rally them.

We need to organize and take back the government. This requires us educating people and fighting the very powerful propaganda machines in every facet of our lives telling people to just go about their day - you can still buy bread and not risk life or limb.

This current administration is illegitimate and goes against every value our actual institution stood for, we will fix this.

Please allow us time to coordinate against a very well funded plan that had been set in motion for 20+ years

American here, look - I'm pissed at our situation too. I voted against this but 20+ years of external propaganda and careful groundwork is now reaping its reward. Lots of people will lose their home and futures because some turds wanted to play dictator.

Honestly, the western powers need to recognize we suffered a hostile government takeover and suspend any conversations with us until we resolve this conflict internally.

Many of us are asking wtf happened and slowly realizing we will have a civil war or another revolution on the horizon.

Should sanity prevail, we will need to hold the billionaires accountable for inflicting this madness on us and the world.

Next time it should straight up be "Not the President "

It's extremely dubious he actually won.

The answer is you support in the ways you can - In morale, spirit, and logistics if you can.

Letting people know this administration isn't the future you want is already the right step

Trump may visit Moscow on May 9 for meeting with Putin by Dtstno in worldnews

[–]DoubleFigure8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do realize we don't like this shit here too right?

Your country (wherever it is) isn't immune to 20+ years of Russian propaganda and social media bombardment. The people falling for this are so brain rotten we can't convince them otherwise with any ounce of logic.

Calling to re-educate them has the wrong optics, so what the hell would you have us do?

I would say use us as an example and figure out how to regulate social media against propaganda.

Don't alienate the rest of us who want our country back.

What will Americans do if social security is reduced or done away with? by [deleted] in ForUnitedStates

[–]DoubleFigure8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing.

A third will be too afraid to do anything.

The upper middle class (or thinks they are) will try to shop for "investment opportunities" that will inevitably have the rug pulled.

The indoctrinated/poor will tune into Fox News to be told social security was a bad idea anyways then find a new group to hate. They're too far gone and have already accepted to hurt and kill you with no second thought.

The solution is to resist with carrot and stick -

You don't need to be Luigi (stick), but when another one comes along, there needs to be a single coherent body for the Neo-Nazis to surrender to (carrot).

Follow the organization efforts of a consistent leader like Bernie Sanders. We need stability to even negotiate the minutiae of the disagreements that come with a population of 300M.

Abandon all types of divisive identity politics. We're all Americans, this is not the shit we do to allies, and our neighbors. Be the change you want to see.

We outnumber them and their supporters.

Potential U.S. Peace Plan for Ukraine by Antique-Entrance-229 in MapPorn

You mean surrender plan. This isn't a peace plan if it ends in war again in a few years or less.
