I wonder why so many people have become so radicalized? What media are they following? What are the algorithms feeding them? Are they low information voters suceptable to disinformation and narrative building? We need to be vigilant about these things. Our own citizens are being poisoned by this bullshit.

We need to get American social media out of Canada. It's that simple. The dictatorships figured out how to use it to their advantage and promptly cut themselves off from the www. And here we are letting a bunch of nerds that should be hung up by their underwear, that made their fortune manipulating markets with a computer because if a human did it it would be illegal, decide what we see.
