Society/Culture Silver tape, not red tape, is a threat to democracy

The Delusionist is the one I've confirmed. Someone else suggested Floor Pie. I suspected Sweet Jesus. There was one other I was sure of, can't remember the name now though. Mods can confirm if they wish.

Why have aliases, particularly when your original account was unbanned?

You'd be surprised. Chief would be disappointed to discover that half of the accounts on Bigfooty are aliases of mine.

Everything we do is deliberate.

Like making your heart beat? Or growing hair?

 

[CM86]

Yes they exist


No. You are attempting to manipulate me but failing utterly

In your case, Gaslighting attempts does not make success

Where did I attempt to gaslight you?

While the rabid dogs of cultural marxism silence our conservative brothers and sisters, the high priests of the Intellectual Dark Web remain untouched.

Where is it illegal for residents to do it?
What do you think the reception would be if they found out that their entire internet history was used to apply very specific propaganda, to control their voting status?

Apparently everyone's trying to control the population... except the very people who have been proven to have tried to control the population with relatively sophisticated, directly targeted, illegal political advertising and activities.

I don't know what to categorise this type of thinking as.

Political parties and cashed up special interest groups

SDS thinks the silly duct tape pictures discredit the theory that our social media overlords are applying Chinese-style censorship.

You're bordering on racism now.

If the US interfered with a Russian election to have Putin removed, would you be upset? Doubt it. Lol.

The question that goes unasked is that if $100,000 gets Russia that kind of influence, what does more money get? Or are we to believe that Russia is the only one that spent any sum of money on elections through Facebook?

What about China? Or Israel? Or the Saudis?

What about the Koch brothers? What about the Clinton Foundation? What about Soros?

Once you open up that Russia conspiracy theory vein, every other one should be equally valid.

When you think about it critically, Russia's meddling gets lost in the noise.

Instead you get the standard neoliberal screech of 'whataboutism' designed to shield the US and its allies from any rightful criticism of hypocrisy.

Its alright when americans meddle in their own elections
Money buys power so no surprise Russia invests a few dollars

My point is that it's branding.

Being 'censored' has becoming another marketing ploy to boost other accounts or generate crowd funding.

Facebook was first invested in by Peter Thiel, whose Palantir operation itself has connections with the CIA, is a funder of various alt-right causes, and himself campaigned for Trump. If you want a simpler conspiracy theory, there you have it.

When you think about how much more effort the Soviets would have put in to subvert US democracy, its pretty pathetic that a supposed small time army of trolls and hackers did it for cents on the dollar.

When you actually have quality material to work with, its easy to start a viral marketing campaign. Hilary did genuinely appear rotten to the core, so Russia pointing this out got great traction. Hilary didnt do any favors for herself by being aloof and patronizing.
