I wonder how long until Xitter does this sort of thing to the EU Disease Information account:

Community Note:

Covid 19 is not real.

I feel like that level of misinformation is now possible there.

I don’t think the people still on X are going to be listening to the EU disease agency account.

They should (as you say) go where the people are… Which is threads and BlueSky. Follow the crowd.

Probably economic and sociological issues.

Low mental health access, lack of cultural concern/respect for alienated groups, lack of welfare and social safety nets.

The usual stuff that makes people feel like they have no future, and resentful of others.

Which perhaps might also speak to another division, reformists vs revolutionaries. Eg those who want to bargin to make gradual improvements in conduct/practices or believe such is possible vs those who think something more drastic or conclusive is necessary as far as changing everything.

Hace we considered that perhaps certain socially normative messages such as these also reinforce a Capitalist agenda: eg. Keeping leftists from becoming interesting in, and owning/running their own businesses?

I feel plenty of leftists have probably stayed out of business in order to avoid being exploiters… But I’m not entirely sure that’s how things work, or the best outcome possible.

What I’m saying is; culture under Capitalism gets us to recreate messages that reinforce the status quo of base superstructure relations… We do so without knowing, and often without questioning it.

So not to be that guy (but in this case I’m totally being that guy); I’m just asking questions bro!

El void.

I get the feeling the BlueSky vs Threads thing will take a while to resolve.

Turns out teachers and lecturers really are important for guiding learning to the right lessons…

Most of Israel is rightwing mostly because of conspiracy theories around the assassination of Yitzhak Rabbin.

They’re a post-culture war society, and they lost. It would be like of the views of the Trump administration just kept getting more and more popular until the country was 85% Trump supporters.

The modern recorder was popularized by the Nazis, as the German folk instrument of choice (which isn’t true, but made for good propaganda).

The Ten Commandments are part of the Woke agenda.

They’re pack animals. You’re their pride… And their shame!

Not all heros wear pants

Just switch it to positive messages; you are loved, you are someone… A series of hearts. A nice pattern.

He’s also said that full self driving mode is just a year away… He’s said that 10 years running.

He also said we’d be on mars by 2021.

…and here’s a 20 second clip where he lets on that he knows it’s all a grift…

Probably be a mix of the two for a bit, then get worse.

This is a function of the establishment right wing having usurped traditional conservativism (and their broad values), and replaced it with the nihilistic morality-free Capitalist libertarianism of the millionaires and billionaires funding “conservative” think tanks.

So there’s no genuine right wing anymore. There’s a conservative shell with anti-state, pro-Capitalist Libertarianism in the middle. All just so taxes and regulations could be lowered on the wealthy and their corporations.

It’s a subversive attack on the nations of the world, and now governments have self-weakened and invited in their own doom and corruption rather than taking a principled stance by fighting it.

It’s truly an ongoing attack on the nation.

Meanwhile in Australia: West-eh-share.

You really are stuck on this idea that I said something about the American election… I didn’t.

Why would it offend me? I’m not Professor John Mearshiemer:

‘The Blob’ is his concept, what he calls it… And it has nothing to do with constraining votes in elections. It has to do with constraining the actions and choices of an American President when they’re in power.

I think you just don’t understand the concept (for whatever reason), and have mistaken these real world organizations (that make up The Blob) as the fanciful stuff of conspiracy theories…

…no, they all actually exist, and have stated purposes and membersship lists, mission statement, budgets, ect.

P.S The EU controls companies through their legislative and legal bodies, which have sanctions, and market influence. They’re why apple can no longer have their own changing jacks - because although you’re not aware of it, they do hold sway over companies.

You not being aware of this, is not the same as them being “teenage fantasies” or folklore.
