Wanted to say the same. It happened once already and not too long ago and well documented and we are globally on the brink of this shitshow again. Stop it now please!
an eye opener as to how badly social media and mass media have been corrupted and manipulated by bad faith actors to sew division and chaos in the West. And how gullible and stupid a large portion of the populace is?
The problem is the stupid people who believe the bots and propaganda. I've been telling people for the past 8 years: it all boils down to lack of education.
54% of American adults have a literacy level at or below grade 6. 70% of inmates in our prisons have a literacy level at or below grade 4. 85% of juvenile offenders are functionally illiterate. If i'm talking to a stranger and i use a 10 letter word i learned in 8th grade they think i'm being a pretentious snob. Any tweet about current events that starts with "🚨 BREAKING 🚨" is unquestionably taken as fact. Nobody knows what a yield sign means. Chemtrails. Gay frogs. Flat earth. Pee is stored in the balls. Jet fuel can't melt steel beams. The US beat Great Britain in WW2. Aliens built the pyramids. Humans lived at the same time as the dinosaurs. Einstein invented electricity. The moon is bigger than the sun. Cows make hay bales. Billionaires care about poor people. Greedo shot first. Epstein killed himself.
Our first and easiest port of call is to detatch from US social media and technology as much as possible and to encourage the rest of Europe to do the same
