You are 100% correct. The problem is most of the public has lost the ability to discern the difference between truth and fiction. Not their fault specifically: most of even the most technically literate would struggle to fact check what our news media and feeds dump on us.
The lizard brains always existed. Inbred, maladjusted, loud angry hateful fucks. We used to be able to suppress them. We ceded the helm of this nation to a bunch of corporations and their puppets in congress. We’ve been trying like hell to fight this multi front battle and are just taking Ls across the board.
We are burning books. Banning knowledge.
We are entering an environment where many do not have the luxury of having an opinion.
Speaking for all of those who were still trying: We’re sorry. We’re still here. We still care. But we’re fighting a losing battle.
Speaking for myself… I’m fucking tired man. I’m not the only one. People I’ve spoken to all are effectively the same: resigned to what comes next. There isn’t enough unity in this mess to right the ship. That unity will come with desperation… and we’re not there yet. 4-6 years. Maybe then. It’s got to get a lot worse before we unify over the collective mess we’re all stuck in.
This may not be a popular response but when did the nazi regime stop? When did China stop with it’s cleansing? America and manifest destiny? I could go on… Humanity needs to realize that we are pretty shitty in general and can’t be trusted when it comes to hatred, entitlement, and tribalism.
The solution is a neutral third party with sufficient power to stop any country’s bullshit through economic and military (actual) peacekeeping… which doesn’t exist nor will it ever.
So the short answer is they will stop when the cleansing is complete.
After the deed is done we as ‘civilized’ nations will lament the tragedy and promise change… until the media cycle washes all those sins down the drain and it will be forgotten until next time.
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
Hey they call themselves ‘patriots’ too… so technically…
They put one too many ads on the home screen… then they made them larger…
fuck em. they get nothing now.
blocked their ad servers at the DNS level.
And while you’d be right to do so- make no mistake that there are posts on every social media platform with the same exact goal in mind. This one is no different.
We are entering into an era informational noise. The signal is still there but it is fucking faint in the storm of misinformation and ai/seo bullshit it is being transmitted into.
