It seems we are already losing sight of the fact that a handful of billionaires effectively turned our information ecosystem into a Superfund site, no one knows how to clean up the mess, and simply telling the truth and hoping people find it is woefully insufficient

It should have been a more popular move to block them.
But X has shown that not having a business model at all, and using the Internet as a billionaire's play toy, is even more damaging.
And then there are Melinda French Gates, Sheryl Sandberg, and Laurene Powell Jobs, to name a few more billionaires who supported Harris/Walz.
Tell me about Dustin Moskovitz, who donated $10 mln to support Kamala Harris via Future Forward PAC, with $38 mln more contributed through Asana.
Tell me about Reed Hastings, who made a significant donation of $7 million to the Harris campaign in 2024.
If you are not joking, please stop.
We need laws against hate speech. Other countries have managed to do this without oppressing their people in the process.
All I've seen is a pretense that "media" "doesn't know" what they're doing.
They damn sure do.
Our president,Miley, said that they are going to fight in every place or institution in order to
"replace" ideas that are not "good ones"🫤
So,its not only in USA.
Miley"loves- admire" Musk and Trump.
He share this image as
the lion that is going to
"save" our country😵💫

The right understands that whilst liberals don't.
It's just voter suppression
Democrats don't want to recognize that coz that means going against their donor money people and activists who are very liberal.
If all 280million eligible (And hell, add in 16 and 17 year olds) were automatically registered and mail in ballots were sent/easy/etc He would've lost like 2:1.
Lines are bad. then there are the bomb threats, and the rejected ballots, etc. Less staffed locations, etc. All this skews R and they know it.
But, liberals and media people don't want to cleanup the mess.
Not good people. Self-interested, like Drump...
The only way to clean it up is revolution.
We need help about how 2 live with truths, how 2 achieve v good communications.
Fewer contrived long meeting agenda's-conversing as dictated-not communicating after, but to reject responsibility for harms they cause.
Unless people value educated rigor, it's be like speaking in tongues at a Pentecostal revival - anything easily flies as long as you're invested in the group identity. What can go wrong?
A minority of people can change when burnt by that.
Now? :-(
After 8 years, people knew everything they needed to know to make a decision.

Jfc no, it isn't
Keep an analog diary
Just like Russia!!!
One outfit still flying under the radar is the Falun Gong-owned Epoch Times (with which Shen Yun is also affiliated), which exploits Facebook and YouTube to spread conspiracy theories.
This is battle space.
Folks ask HOW. That's how. We simply are not fed the same information. To the point where, over time, we barely have the same operating systems.
That was back in like 2000 or so. It seemed so harmless. Sigh.

We should form a community around people raising this issue of an asymmetric and broken information sphere, again and again until it somehow reaches people.
Wish you a lot a strength and wisdom in the next 4 years.

All this ‘in Europe’ talk like we are as far away politically (or economically) as we are geographically is ostrich behaviour.
Things have changed dramatically for the lower (middle) classes within the time span of 1 or 2 generations…
Change is scary, and if anything, the reactions from ‘the left’ to these elections are showing that.
There are many people here talking violence, hurting others.. and it’s mirroring the behaviour they despise.
It’s not that I don’t understand…I do!
If a child feels their sibling is the favorite there is hardly anything a parent can say to change its mind. Unless, maybe, they say: “Don’t worry, you’re my favorite…and if you don’t believe me let me show you how.”
When you mix those, this is what you get!

I don't think that one could be blamed on the platform's owners.
YouTube was number 2, starting in ~2013-2014.
Then came Twitter, starting in 2016 and culminating with the Musk buyout.
