sometimes the mongol horde kills everyone in your village. people don't want to think things will fall apart but it happens. there are futures where trump wins and futures from there include bad ones. we get there with all these unhelpful takes about biden. repetition is proven to result in a higher likelihood of people believing something. to churn out influence, you need get your narrative in as many places as possible. the way to do that is to get people to spread it for you, to design the most viral narrative possible, that makes people feel righteous or enlightened to post. get the posters to post your narrative. activists know influence is possible, they know the ground game where election results can be impacted. people who deal in this see messaging, see narrative seeding and see deceit, all designed for election results. you're here publishing on the internet where multitudes read and claiming to not have influence. i'm trying to highlight that we're in a new world where individuals have more responsibility for helping each-other in a hostile info space. honestly these are insane times and people don't realize what's happening. the conversation gets stuck but it can be moved.

i'm fucking amazed how people are sharing bad takes for likes that could result in a deeply fucked dystopia in the next 1 year. all the hot takers criticizing the dems for not having strong messaging don't realize that they are the messagers and they are fucking up the dem messaging including jon fucking stewart. i grew up on the guy but i can't help but notice in recent years he's looking thirsty and his shit isn't landing. now here he is cashing in some cheap likes that will demobilize dem turnout let me tell you about this election. it's a mobilization election. it's about not splitting the anti-trump vote, and it's about mobilizing the biden voters. if you don't like that, fist your ass. that's how it is. biden's fucking great and that's not even bs. people's minds are fucked and they can't handle someone saying the wrong word without bringing about armaggeddon. we're fucked the guy says the wrong word and jon stewart can't resist amplifying the fox narrative that he's senile the guy hugs someone and ignatius can't resist amplifying the disinfo narrative that he smells hair smart people are falling into the modern traps and they don't know they have fishing line hanging out of their mouths holy fuck we're fucked. and it's not because of biden, biden is a better elected official than most. it's because the minds of the voters are fucked enjoy pretending you know shit you don't know. these attractive tricks were designed for you to enjoy and you're enjoying them. jesus christ.

i would hug him benevolent grandpa elected leader ♥

he was obviously talking about egypt and simply said the wrong word. when you talk enough you say the wrong word sometimes. you can even see why, he was talking about a border and associates it with the us border which is used as a political weapon. it happens to everyone. it means nothing. there is nothing wrong with his cognition.

adherents to q-anon increased from 14% of americans to 23% between 2021 and 2023? comes up at 31:25 here jesus fucking christ

ufo's got a brand new bag

we're in quite a weird world where the dupes of the right are ready to reelect the adjudicated rapist who tried to end america. that is because the information flows are all different these days and people's minds are toast. the zombies are cult members and hostile when you tell them they're manipulated by the real nefarious actors, and they're ready to undo american government. a heinous concern that people don't think about enough is what the world looks like when the US military falls into the hands of an authoritarian regime. it's a sea change for world history. those who are able to stay grounded in reality have been wondering what could break the fever? progress has been incremental on the side of sanity in america, but the forces of confusion are empowered by a confluence of funders. and the forces of confusion are empowered with modern info tools, which give the deceitful an advantage over the honest. one hope has been that trump being convicted could be the cold water to wake people up. earlier here i posted a list of the criminal indictments. basically: new york - fraudulent business practices georgia - coup federal - coup federal - stealing national defense info (espionage act statutes) trump's an info operator before all else. he knows he can sway and delay on georgia with the new accusation fanni willis had an affair with her prosecutor (though it doesn't impact merits of the case). he knows the judge on the federal espionage case is a dumb trumpist who has already revealed her bias in his favor, and she may delay her case past the election. the new york case is less than what trump has been able to get away with, politically, by far. it shouldn't be overlooked that he's now lost twice in civil court to e jean carroll. but info doesn't penetrate the weird ecosystem of right wing bubble land. of course he's lost on other fronts; trump university and trump charity were shut down for fraud, and his associates have lost criminal cases for sinister charges, but the guy knows how to kick up dust. that leaves the federal coup case. this is what trump is strategizing as his chief obstacle in his longshot attempt to regain power this year. any day now the DC appeals court will rule on whether trump is immune from prosecution (a ridiculous argument that will lose). as soon as that ruling comes down, either the supreme court will take it or not. if they do, they will almost certainly also find that of course the president cannot do anything they want without criminal liability. so, depending on whether or not the SC take up the case, the expectation is we will be past this delay tactic in either the next week or the next month or so. at that time, the scheduling for the federal coup trial (previously set to start march 4) will be set. expectations are sometime between april and august. the mistake is to wait and see what consensus does. the whole problem is that people are used to going by consensus, and consensus is hacked. if we wait then all of a sudden it's october and the cake is baked, and it's a cake of bullshit that results in us ending up back in constitutional crisis territory. we actually have a problem of a cult positioned to install an orange russian agent who already let a million americans die as part of his efforts to stay in power.

biden is great, in my honest opinion. left afghanistan, resolved covid, recovered inflation, good economy, helped ukraine. continues to call things what they are and to handle political conflicts more effectively than anyone i can think of.

more cause for concern, trump's wins in iowa and new hampshire don't have a historical precedent. he beat his opponents more easily than candidates have in the past the reality divide is real. and it's not one divide, reality is shattered into a kaleidoscope. and it's not just fractured, it's strategically destructed, deliberately, by a collective of individuals who don't even know what they're doing. and they are continuing to do it. instructions for the modern information era share good info sources compare differing info sources and resolve discrepancies, to understand reality share good facts - when speaking with someone across a divide, find an innocuous fact they will find interesting. move the ball forward, you don't have to win the battle people who are deliberately spreading bullshit, mercilessly crush them. the reality is that the consequences of what's going on right now are potentially quite dire. the information domain has power over the nuclear domain. the mutually assured destruction of nukes has forced conflict into the information space. world war 3 is in people's minds. the kinetic part could be quite catastrophic and we stop it in the information phase. it's not just appropriate, it's important, to shame deceivers publicly, and to illuminate deceptions. be careful that you yourself are not spreading harmful bullshit narratives that are seeded for strategic purpose.

good covert. ronck67 - sounds like karsten pflum

not only is amanda carpenter a clarion voice but also she is a brilliant, talented, hard-working journalist. this video is two conservatives talking about how seriously dire the trump threat is to american democracy. amanda has the details at hand to describe what we are looking at and what to expect if trump gets back in the white house and it's scary. amanda just published a report on the trumpian authoritarian playbook

interesting to see these great (conservative) analysts reacting to trump's landslide win of iowa

so did france and england false, asshole you just want to paper the thread with crap conjure some whataboutism or another fallacy, now, to try to confuse people about murder by lying scoundrels you cynical self-servers think you're wizards for tricking people, but you're just pretending to be real people. you're fucking actors. you chose the wrong path in life. the human project is about communicating real information so individuals help each-other. you fucking genius deceivers are leeches on the society you depend on and you're so deluded you have no idea what you're even doing

that's pretty alarming. the oceans are like buffers. they absorb some temperature change from the atmosphere but there is a limit to how much raised temperature they can bury away in their depths. probably relates to the lessened sea ice, especially in the arctic. one of the many feedback loops/chain reactions

sounds like we agree that stalin signed a non-aggression pact with the nazis, and they were both conquering countries at the same time while helping each other and coordinating. sure, later hitler turned on stalin and did tremendous harm to russian people. both things are true. russia's aggression in ww2 and soon-following acquisition of nukes is the backdrop for nato and look... putin is invading neighboring countries. nato is not without justification. what would russia do if there were no nato? the gymnastics going on in this thread are really amazing nazi apologist? i'm being trolled. by putin apologists. zlemflolia you're a fucking propagandist.

this is insane. no, i mentioned that they fought with hitler. they had a non-aggression pact and worked together as each was conquering neighbors. hitler turned on stalin later. i agree

??? what is your point. seems like a non-sequitor fallacy. or maybe appeal to force fallacy, if you're arguing that we should appease invading armies or something appeal to hypotheticals fallacy. different scenario with different context. ??? what is your point. yes, nato was primarily strategized as a defense against russia. the context of that involves them siding with hitler and trying to conquer the world in world war 2, then shortly thereafter developing insane nukes putin invaded ukraine. usa didn't make him do that. are you arguing it was a reasonable response to usa? this argument doesn't even make sense. if zelensky invaded russia then maybe you could try a proxy argument but here it's just vague and refers to nothing. walk me through the logic again. 1. nato 2. ??? 3. putin had no choice but to invade ukraine and fire missles blindly into civilian areas literally thousands of times dude this makes no sense. the "USA" argument skates by the simple fact of ukrainian choice. they chose to fight. it's some dark fuckery to suggest that USA is somehow sinisterly manipulating events in order to cause an ally nation to fight a war for them. is that the suggestion? it's darkly fucked up, in addition to being wrong, and in addition to being offensive. it's deeply fucking wrong, i can tell you as someone who consumes way too much high quality content about us government, intelligence and military, and has for a very long time. the below poster is a known propagandist \/

@decibal cooper you're either drinking swill or making it, i can't tell which. trying to make this about USA furthers russian propaganda. russia invaded ukraine. that's what happened. USA is standing by an ally, along with many other countries that are supporting ukraine against murderous aggression. ukrainians are the ones choosing to fight and asking for support. also putin reiterated again last month his intention to effectively conquer ukraine

as usual, biden nails it. good speech on jan 6 and kicking off his campaign

one galling episode from trump's presidency was when he fired US attorney Geoffrey Berman, who was about to indict ghislaine. berman, anticipating that a stooge would replace him, went public about the inappropriate firing, and only quieted down when bill barr agreed to replace berman with his own deputy. one week later, berman's former office, led by berman's former deputy, indicted maxwell https://www.vox.com/2020/6/22/21298917/geoffrey-berman-sdny-fired-barr i want to know who the "owner of a large hotel chain" was that maxwell directed giuffre to have sex with from 2002: do you know where epstein found virginia giuffre? mar a lago. she worked there shortly after maxwell was indicted, trump said through the press that he wishes her well.

looks like bot1500 outed himself as doing 2 of those on wh020 and released digis https://bot1500.bandcamp.com/album/wh020

digesting the 2023 releases https://rtrmusic.bandcamp.com/album/xor https://rtrmusic.bandcamp.com/album/circle https://rtrmusic.bandcamp.com/album/727 https://rtrmusic.bandcamp.com/album/cercle-ep many great tracks. was listening to a playlist of the new stuff with decent headphones, after already somewhat familiar, was blown away by the detail. xor lp is heavy and dense. 6EQUJ5 is an epic closer.
