  • I realized a while back that social media is trying to radicalize everyone and it might not even be entirely the oligarchs that control its fault.

    The algorithm was written with one thing in mind: maximizing engagement time. The longer you stay on the page, the more ads you watch, the more money they make.

    This is pervasive and even if educated adults tune it out, there is always children, who get Mr. Beast and thousands of others trying to trick them into like, subscribe and follow.

    This is something governments should be looking at how to control. Propaganda created for the sole purpose of making money is still propaganda. I think at this point that sites feeding content that use an algorithm to personalize feeds for each user are all compromised.


  • Just think about the fact that this man dodged the draft and everyone knows it.

    He has never served a day in his life. It used to be pretty much a requirement that a realistic presidential candidate was ex-military.

    This shit is bonkers. None of this guys children are at any risk if he goes to war with Denmark, Mexico, and Canada.

    Not that he really wants Greenland, or Canada. Its a distraction once again to steer the talking points away from whatever Russia and China are doing, or whatever climate catastrophe they’re working on.

    Finally, this is only news to people reading left leaning sites. Fox news would gloss over this shit or give it 30 seconds of praise. By the time we get properly agitated about something, his fans have forgotten it ever happened.

    People keep saying “How is this not the last straw for people”… He was reelected by people who don’t know about these things or don’t care.
