What I wouldn't give for if only 1 in 5 voted for the nazi party in America.

Hell yeah, thanks dude. Will be watching this over the next couple days.

Bummer, I can't watch that from here in the US. I've been slacking on getting a VPN...

Been wanting to watch the later seasons of The Rise of Nazis, too.

That's related to Survok Theater, right? Between Dugin and him, the Russian propaganda tactics being used read like an open book. We see the game being played but what are some possible solutions? Must we hope people learn their lesson in the collapse to come?

47% are extremely susceptible to disinformation echo chambers.

The rich have eroded academic institutions and flooded the airwaves, muddying the waters of reality that only those with time and strong critical-thinking skills can parse.

Put another way: if I was a psychopathic piece of shit I'd know that a dumb electorate is easier to grift and control. So I'd make sure they stay confused, ignorant, and apathetic.

This guy has been touring America promoting Christian Nationalism since Trump pardoned him at the end of his first term. Watch the PBS Frontline doc, "Michael Flynn's Holy War"

He's a complete piece of shit and traitor.

Come on, guys, we all know Israel is already our 51st state if not seat of power.

Putin's bidding to fracture the deepest alliances of the West under utterly bullshit pretenses.

The number one priority from here until next midterms should be forcing Democrats like this or the 10 who censured Al Green. Primary them all with progressive populists.

I'd double RAM and dump the rest into a new GPU. Beyond that you might as well save for a new rig.

I'm sure we're still in a constitutional crisis but I'll take that over blind capitulation. The wider this chasm expands, the better.

Keep driving that wedge.

Just imagine if Trump was in the White House in 2022. Biden's intelligence warned Zelenskyy of the amassing troops and the impending invasion which may have bought his country time to redeploy forces and static defenses enough to thwart the entire attack. In fact it's quite possible the Russian plan to seize Hostomel Airport was passed on to Ukraine as well.

 

I guess I'm curious about generations (namely GenZ and Alpha) who didn't live in a pre-Internet time. Like,

  • How was the concept first explained to you, or when did it click?
  • Do you understand how insane it is to have the aggregate of all human knowledge — the only comparable thing once being a physical library or university — one search away? That it's absolutely insane you can engage in a real-time conversation with someone on the opposite side of the world? That you can find niche communities in an instant?
  • Were your parents super strict about internet usage? How quickly did you find workarounds?
 

June 28 (Reuters) - A group of U.S. voters who were unable to choose between Joe Biden and Donald Trump before Thursday's presidential debate delivered their verdicts after the contest and it was almost universally bad news for Biden.

Of the 13 "undecideds" who spoke to Reuters, 10 described the 81-year-old Democratic president's performance against Republican candidate Trump collectively as feeble, befuddled, embarrassing and difficult to watch.

 

All undecided voters in a U.S. swing states focus group hosted by pollster Frank Luntz said President Biden should be replaced as the Democratic nominee after watching his first presidential debate against former President Trump.

 

Lord Cameron said while he would not support a major ground offensive in the Gazan city of Rafah, the UK would not copy US plans to stop some arms sales.

He said the UK supplies just 1% of Israel's weapons and warned Israel must do more to protect civilians and allow humanitarian aid through.

They must oblige within a certain time frame — even if your account has been suspended and I believe even if you've deleted your account. Curiously, this might be one effective way to protest. Golly I wonder what would happen if many people requested such reports simultaneously. It seems these must be processed manually by admins.

As a bonus, it's nice because all your comments and messages are searchable.
