Yeah. That's my doing.You're gonna make @jonKranked salty!
I've been to enough shows to have witnessed first hand just how far overboard some people go with drugs. Never witnessed someone so high they did sedition tho.You're gonna make @jonKranked salty!
not quite what you’re looking for, but semi related to how it has happened before in this country on a smaller scale. Human nature.We all know that many or most of these supporters are semi nuts. But not all of them. I personally know people who I used to respect, who are intelligent and WERE capable of critical thinking, who got wrapped up in Trump, qanon, conspiracies etc. They believe it, REALLY believe it.
Has anyone published anything worth reading about the mass brain washing of 100M people?
How could this have been SO fucking effective? Obviously social media plays a big role, giving a megaphone to any idiot that wants one. But this is hard for me to understand, and I'm not even the dumbest person on ridemonkey!
For cereal though, if anyone comes across good articles on the mental warfare angle of this, post 'em up.
thanks man, I'll check that out.not quite what you’re looking for, but semi related to how it has happened before in this country on a smaller scale. Human nature.

slumming itthanks man, I'll check that out.
btw: with trump kicked off most social media, you might be able to talk him into a collab on your soundcloud!
"voice like a banjo" work better for you?Not sure I know what you mean by "fiddle mouth".
It's funny that the 2nd doesn't negate the 1st for you. Maybe you were just wrong. I've learned I was wrong about some folks lately. But I'm not clinging to the idea that they're competent thinkers because that was my assumption at one point, and the evidence very obviously proves otherwise1. people who I used to respect, who are intelligent and WERE capable of critical thinking,

You want articles or books? There are TONS of books on cults, especially after the american 70s with moonies, manson, the jim jones kool aid krew, then the davidians........Has anyone published anything worth reading about the mass brain washing of 100M people?

How would you suggest approaching such a clampdown?...The truth is, we need to clamp down on what passes as news. It's about to get way worse with newsmax, epoch times, oan and the ilk....
Through FCC licensing. Fox news has specifically evaded responsibility for telling the truth multiple times. The oldest being the late 90s when a court deemed them entertainment. The latest being tucker carlson's (for some reason successful) argument being that no one in their right mind would think this is real.How would you suggest approaching such a clampdown?
Yea, maybe I was wrong, I do believe that they were 'different' before all this (although clearly susceptible to influence in hindsight). But, I don't think I was wrong about ALL of them. That's what I'm thinking on; how people could be swayed by what seems like such unbelievable shit.It's funny that the 2nd doesn't negate the 1st for you. Maybe you were just wrong.

Like everything with this cult the people spewing "do you own research" are the least capable of actually doing research.
You take your sensible COMMIE rational ideas and get out!Through FCC licensing. Fox news has specifically evaded responsibility for telling the truth multiple times.

That's all fine and good but you don't get to use the word News in your name. TV networks are already highly regulated (cursing, cigarette ads etc) because the medium has been around longer. It's entirely possible to do this online too. It happens with child porn and ISIS content but nobody notices it.
For the real world (online) you make the check point at the web hosts; dreamhost, godaddy etc. That way violations have a real threat of getting pulled, with the host taking some responsibility.
This isn't revolutionary, it's been proposed for years. It just always gets shot down by the donors and politicians who benefit from the bullshit.
Also......make lying in congress a crime. You lie, you lose your vote. You continue to lie, you lose your seat. That stops the limbaugh to floor cycle of bullshit that just created this.
This is a large part of why I quit FB a couple years back. Turned out an uncomfortable number (any # greater than zero) of people I thought I knew, liked, and appreciated, were way too fascist-adjacent for my liking. It's one thing to have differences of opinion. it's quite another to go full authoritarian because the last president had the temerity to be a couple shades too dark. Was a real wake up call for me and remains an uncomfortable reminder that I may not be the greatest judge of character.

You’ve been out of the South for too long. Her accent is fairly tame for a country woman. It’s the ones that are all pilled out on opioids or on meth that impossible to understand."voice like a banjo" work better for you?
sorry about that, fiddles are kinda fancy
You’ve been out of the South for too long.
geez, I go offfline for two hours, and you talk about me behind my back.But this is hard for me to understand, and I'm not even the dumbest person on ridemonkey!
Zerlina Maxwell interviewed him last night on a peacock news show she hosts reiterating and expanding on his initial claim. Sounds sketchy as fuck but also may be a product of where honkey kong was able to get into the building.More suspicion that they had inside help
Bizutch ? Okay Syadasti2.0...You know I come from a family I still talk to right?
You're no fun. I was just happy I got to say fiddlemouth and you ruined it.
I also just learned you probably sound like bizutch

I dropped a bunch of high school "friends" yesterday because I am just blown away. I get being mad that you lost, but to see Wednesday as a revolution and things to come is too much.This is a large part of why I quit FB a couple years back.

Start by reinstating the FCC fairness doctrine.How would you suggest approaching such a clampdown?
old story but I'll go ahead and bring up what annoyed me about it.bUt AnTiFa
‘Boogaloo Boi’ charged in fire of Minneapolis police precinct during George Floyd protest

Here. Watch this guy with a thick boston accent and entertain yourselfBizutch ? Okay Syadasti2.0...
Jackasses have been getting into cars in our hood and nobody can ID anybody on camera because they all have masks on.One of the incredible layers in irony in all of this is that if these fuckers were wearing masks per Covid protocols they wouldn't be very easy to identify.
Well shit, I thought Boston was up North, but it's been in Tennessee this whole time.Here. Watch this guy with a thick boston accent and entertain yourself
He is pretty spot on.Here. Watch this guy with a thick boston accent and entertain yourself
you lose your toll pass and some change but at least your ability to be covid free is respected?Jackasses have been getting into cars in our hood and nobody can ID anybody on camera because they all have masks on.
