Big Brother has been keeping tabs on us (illegally) for quite some time. Social media is not the problem, it’s an economic issue driven by inequality in our society.
Yeah, don't love how quickly discord will comply with big brother but since the Patriot Act, our agencies are spying on us and a good guiding principle is anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law so be prepared to stand by what you say online.
I agree in a large, though, about social media. It doesn't actually do the things it does, it's easily puppeteered, and anything designed on addiction models is highly problematic. But all social media is like that, even Substack now and how quickly the note feature has turned into a quick post feature. We can't help ourselves.
My last thought is I am still laughing at how ridiculous Patel sounded saying he plans to see Kirk in Valhalla. I don't think Christians go to a pagan place and I don't think an elder pagan god like Odin is gonna take up Christians there but lol hey yeah go off, lil keebler elf.
Hello all. I got fired from my job at AHEAD as a senior project manager on Friday here in the good ole so called land of the free for talking shit online related to fucking Charlie Kkkkirk. It was part of that right wing doxxing campaign I'm fairly sure. So many got fired due to the fascist shitstorm caving to pressure from various sources and level of authority apparently.
They could save a lot of time by shutting down rumble, telegram, and other social media of the right-wing that incites hate and violence to marginalized groups, but I doubt they will. Instead they'll go after some kid that is just pointing out that Israel is doing a genocide.
i think I was about 8 years old when my mother took me to a road production of The Music Man. We had so much fun I ended up learning the lyrics to Ya Got Trouble (Right Here in River City). Parental-hysteria-whipper-uppers like Gov Cox, issuing dire warning about your innocent unsupervised teens getting corrupted and subverted by whatever is the latest in youth pop entertainment -- coded to be inexplicable to Mom and Dad, be it rap or comic books or video games or motorcycle slang -- is such a perennial feature of American culture it is laughable -- but government will hurt a lot of innocent people before the stupid hysteria dies down.

The buffoonery of those agencies that monitor us can be just as dangerous as the monitoring itself.

Comparing SM to fentanyl is just stupid.
I am in Europe and we know we are being watched.
USA thinks they are not. This is dangerous for all of you.
Time to start taking back your country (what's left of it).
Kash, we want pictures of Hunter’s Hog. I’m told you love pictures of hog. Let’s make a deal! #ArtoftheDeal
