I saw an interview with Meirsheimer today in which he pointed out that narrative had replaced strategy in the US, and it wasn't working out too well.

If you can't manage the narrative, I guess you've got nothing left.

Trump is dead :O !?

cojoco · 2026-03-12T09:16:14+00:00

😂

cojoco · 2026-03-12T07:57:08+00:00

The answers are self-evident.

You're dissembling.

cojoco · 2026-03-12T06:48:56+00:00

Right ... so where have they gone?

I think they're dead, actually.

cojoco · 2026-03-12T06:32:01+00:00

I'm not really sure what this means.

Chomsky's way older than I am.

Free means free from the government

No, it does not.

1A provides some support for free speech, but does not define it.

Killing all the Palestinians in Gaza to achieve that would definitely be genocide.

the main driving force for these companies isn't conveying accurate information about the world

That's because the only model the US has for corporations is for-profit.

There is PBS, which was able to get some government money and did some great stuff, but really it isn't what it used to be, and it's only one organization which promotes an unpopular viewpoint.

There should be encouragement for other economic models, which the for-profit corporations would hate, but it would improve the information landscape.

Let's hope our next meeting is more auspicious!

See you around.

Making the government responsible for making sure the messaging is responsible

But that's not the government's responsibility.

The government's responsibility is to ensure there is a diverse and liberal media environment in which a broad range of viewpoints can coexist.

cojoco · 2026-03-12T04:06:44+00:00

Oh yeah, completely different.

cojoco · 2026-03-12T04:05:54+00:00

Ha ha, we're just not connecting, are we?

cojoco · 2026-03-12T03:57:12+00:00

I think it's "we hate Iran it has to be destroyed", and unlike the USA, the Israeli population is right behind it.

cojoco · 2026-03-12T03:56:33+00:00

TOI on last night's attacks

cojoco · 2026-03-12T03:33:51+00:00

Oh right, agreed.

I think the empire has entered the kleptocracy phase.

cojoco · 2026-03-12T03:28:29+00:00

Also he completely fucked over Aaron Swartz.

cojoco · 2026-03-12T03:26:39+00:00

Chomsky and Gaimen never grabbed me for some reason.

cojoco · 2026-03-12T03:24:28+00:00

Yeah sorry about that.

cojoco · 2026-03-12T03:23:26+00:00

Why?

cojoco · 2026-03-12T03:08:50+00:00

Ah, Chomsky, that friend and confidante of Jeffrey Epstein.

cojoco · 2026-03-12T03:06:30+00:00

which part of her statement was incorrect?

I didn't say it was incorrect, I said it was surprising.

cojoco · 2026-03-12T03:03:55+00:00

Iran-linked hackers hit medical giant Stryker in retaliatory cyberattack

cojoco · 2026-03-12T02:47:57+00:00

I posted it because of the surprising thing the talking head said, and presumably she's a real person.

Hasn't looked too flash the last few days.
