They have their own TV channels, personalities, media. They deride fact checking and (well) moderated debate. They buy social media platforms to manipulate algorithms and amplify content that suits their preferred ends and worldview.
What they are threatened by are places of alignment + organizing

They’re lose a lot of control over the left, in fact, to algorithmic choice
Links in my bio 💋
- they have a language, comprehensible and attractive,
- they have an enemy and they shout at it
- they have no ideas but an ideology
- they have empathy to the people, even if they abuse the people
- they make people proud of their ignorance
It’s a persuasion laboratory, if you own it.
Trump’s lie repeated to approx 60k subscribers.
The scale of the right wing echo chamber is enormous.
If you want credibility, stop selling the oligarch narrative.
I fail to understand…
Even if we admit bsky and X are equal echo chambers, which is worse? The one that agrees with blatant liars or the one that doesn't tolerate the slightest implications of lies?
Everything they are. Yet here we are!
Unfortunately you can't get that level of rich without being a dick.
At every level.
By whatever means.
With no remorse.
And they’re not even in office for another two months.
Best gird your loins, America.
Right wing media IS the mainstream media if judges from pure viewership and penetration.
Fox News complaining about “mainstream media” is like expecting a Trump and Kennedy to stick it to “the elites.”
I don’t buy the echo chamber thing. I appreciate the opportunity to have thoughtful exchanges with people who care about this country.
We are the real America.
Understandable that most dairy farmers and coal miners aren't going to listen to NPR programs about some guy in Seattle who makes papier mache.
But progressive media has done little to offer an alternative to all the Rush Limbaghs.
If both sides *have* to be presented, it's hard to falsify any side. It was how we used to help maintain journalistic integrity too. Cronkite, Walters, Jennings, Jacobson, were unimpeachable.
For example, I’m not seeing much “you’re doing it wrong” content *here.* A lack, so far, of circular firing squads.
The Republicans are more than happy to see us fight among ourselves.
Is that doomerism? Maybe. Yet....
The market for progressive outrage is small
We simply aren't built that way
Discussions of policy are mind numblingly boring
This! This! This!
“If You Tell A Lie Big Enough & Keep Repeating It, People Will Eventually Come To Believe It!”😔
Let's do that.
It could be fun for a few years
They're too fragile to admit when they've lost; they don't deserve any more deference than they're willing to give.
Keep hammering please!
This terrifies them because it’s the only way their plans can be thwarted.
Next, the English have mysteriously vanished and Henry 8 died for The Theory of The Divine Right of Kings while people are sincerely,
Where the dice aren't loaded in their favour.
Where algorithms don't leave users with the impression that letting the world burn is how we'll solve inflation, migration and crime.
Without the crooked refereeing, these players would be ejected from the game.
The U.S. president has a duty to 'protect' the country.
Moreover, as the human soul develops, it inevitably becomes allergic to 🐂💩 - some percentage of the misguided will wake up.
We have defeated their like before.
The left voters need to get actively involved & create an “alternative” culture. Just having more pro-left media presence won’t work unless we create a “movement”. (Like the 60’s anti-war counter culture)

'We're not even allowed to write about it!'

Listen to her everybody, she's right 100% correct.
But to all of this, I say...
Platform(s), plural. Musk, Zuckerberg.
Whether in real life consumer economy or the attention economy, it’s our right to support the businesses that serve our needs, nourish our souls, & produce the world we want to see.
The establishment system *doesn’t work.*
The right is creating a massive fire of destruction.
The left is creating controlled fire breaks to stop and protect against the destructive fire.
they are like terrorists. you cant negotiate with them. there is no debate. their arguments are always nonsense. why do we have to be subjected to that?
If Garland had indicted Donald Jan 7, 2021, we wouldn't be here @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

We're all Americans breathing the same air. Let's focus on common-ground solutions with our voices instead of destruction.
Hate hurts the hater more than the hated. It's like a parasite to the soul.
It's human for all rights; and humans for just their rights.
Humans for all rights; would be, and are doing just fine over here or whatever they want to be.
I wish they'd teach me how to live in an echo chamber because I absolutely loathe their presence.
opponents seems to have worked for the Bolsheviks and the Nazis.
Me me me
As a Brit looking-in I think you have to. The ends justify the means when you see what a nut-job he and all his cronies are.
Conservatives have been building ideological parallel systems for over 40 years. Yet they're desperate to be in the mainstream.
The only thing they truly can't seem to succeed at building a parallel of is arts and entertainment.
