Who do you think has been controlling your information feeds all along?

Television? Newspapers? Hell, even the town crier only told you what his masters wanted you to hear.

Serious information should also not be spread through memes. Lemmy homes are always filled with shitposts, try to upvote more serious content and less memes.

[–] bruhsoulz@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

Ehh, not a real issue. Some ppl just dont care ab serious posts and just scroll to unwind.

[–] griD@feddit.org 11 points 2 days ago

I fucking hate living in a time where a breakthrough in media was achieved recently.
It always ends in tears. A lot of tears.

Summary of what may have happened: Trump is a Russian asset working for Putin (see American Kompromat by journalist Craig Unger or Active Measures documentary with Hillary Clinton). Trump stole election software in 2020 (sources below).

Starlink, Elon's satellite company was installed in voting machines across the country and may have interfered with vote tabulation. In September, Politco had an investigation finding Russian malware on a state voter registration database. Also, there were malicious fake texts and fake DNC organizations likely fishing voter info connected to Elon who is connected to Russia. Elon and Trump are working together. Elon had results of election on an app 4 hours before official counts had it.

They will release more info admitting their fraud because they are a Russian asset trying to start a civil war here. This is speculation but he has refused to write an ethics statement for transition of power saying he will transition peacefully. JD Vance has also told the EU that unless they allow X unfettered access to the EU (to spread propaganda), they will withdraw the US from NATO- which will prompt wars or takeover either way and weakens Germany, who is entering an election since their government couldn't agree on Ukraine budget.

Also speculation, but please do your own citizen journalism, are reports of widespread ballot rejection, especially for signatures. There are articles claiming already that it is because GenZ does not know cursive - except the signature simply must match your driver's license. It's not a cursive writing test. Avocado toast but with gen z voting fraud. We do not yet have the ballot rejection rates but typically they are around 1% to 1.5%.

Crypto is how right wing conservatism got funded here. It's why it took off- it was basically UBI for those men, funded by foreign intelligence for this purpose along with other uses for crypto like dark money, drugs, trafficking, etc. The least informed people we knew were investing in crypto when it was starting, mining bitcoins, couldn't tell you what a stock is yet making bank in crypto trading. Crypto trading, especially memecoins, appears to be an obvious scam to most because it's the stock market without ownership. So why were these 4chan pedophiles and nazis doing so well? Because it was just meant to give them money the whole time. And crypto is great for transferring money internationally from shady organizations to shady people.

The formula is using memecoins which are named with far right catchphrases to give money to far right extremist groups to fund them. The entire meme propaganda campaign, memes, and memecoin names are coordinated so the nazis are attracted to memecoins meant for them but outsiders won't know which are real. Once the government is taken over, they can force their memecoin as the national currency and then rug pull, which is also what Musk is likely going to do to Tesla at the same time into maybe DOGE. The entire point is to bankrupt America for Putin and his cartoon villain cohorts.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2024/11/10/its-unsustainable-tesla-ceo-elon-musk-issues-us-serious-bankruptcy-warning-amid-huge-bitcoin-and-dogecoin-price-surge/

"Musk's fear over the U.S.'s spiraling $35 trillion debt pile comes as the bitcoin price has surged—outpaced by the price of the meme-based bitcoin rival dogecoin that's boomed thanks to Musk's backing of the Department Of Government Efficiency, nicknamed Doge."

He doesn't have fear about the debt that Trump added on. He's trying to attack us financially and will use this to justify collapsing Tesla stock.

If you're in Germany, take note. They are coming for you next, your election is soon.

Joe Rogan says Elon had data for election results on his phone 4 hours before official counts

https://www.newsweek.com/russian-state-tv-airs-melania-trumps-nudes-primetime-1982683

" [Melania, naked] lying on a blue carpet with the U.S. seal, as though the editors of lthe men’s magazine knew something in advance about the future of their model."

They are just confirming she’s their asset.

In the first minute:

"Your votes are rigged. We can win New Mexico."

"Too Big to Rig"

"If you can watch your vote counter, if we can bring God down from heaven (he's referencing Starlink), we can win this, win California, win a lot of states."

https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/if-trump-loses-im-fcked-elon-musk-in-interview-with-tucker-carlson/articleshow/114024254.cms

“If [Trump] loses, I’m f*cked… How long do you think my prison sentence is going to be?”

Why does Elon think he would go to prison though? For what crime?

Trump:"Our little secret is having a big impact"

If Trump was so sure the election was rigged and they were going to turnover every state including California, then why hasn't he asked for a recount in all the states with representatives that didn't get elected that he thought would be? Shouldn't he be suing for recounts? He did it last time. Why doesn't he want an investigation this time?

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-victory-speech-full-transcript-1981234

"we are now winning in Michigan, Arizona, Nevada and Alaska, which would result in us carrying at least 315 electoral votes. But that, but it's much easier doing what the networks did or whoever called it, because there was no other path. There was no other path to victory. We also have won the popular vote, that was great"

"the number of victories in the Senate was absolutely incredible and we did tele-rallies, we did tele-rallies with each one of them, and sometimes we did two or three for, and it was amazing to look at all of those victories. Nobody expected that. Nobody."

"And I want to thank Mike Johnson, I think he's doing a terrific job. Terrific job.." (Mike Johnson is who he said he has a little secret with and is Speaker of the house, and the house will decide, if Trump is found to have committed election fraud, if he should still be president).

"Oh, let me tell you, we have a new star. A star is born, Elon. No, he is. Now he's an amazing guy. We were sitting together tonight. You know, he spent two weeks in Philadelphia and different parts of Pennsylvania campaigning. You know, he sent the rocket up two weeks ago and I saw that rocket and I saw it coming down. I saw it. It was when it left. It was beautiful, shiny white. When it came down, it didn't look so pretty. It was going 10,000 miles an hour and it was burning like hell. I said, 'What happened to your paint job?' He said, 'We've never made a paint that could withstand that kind of heat.' And, but I saw it come down and turn around. And it was, you know, it's like 22 stories still, by the way, it looks a little smaller than that, but it's big. And it came down and down and you saw that fire burning and. And I'm saying only Elon could do this. It must be an Elon." (he means Elon stole the election with Starlink and he loves them now)

"And you know, when we had the tragic Hurricane Helene. And it hit it, particularly it hit North Carolina. They were really devastated. The water. This was big water. As big as we've ever seen, water hurricane. It built lakes out of nothing, fields became lakes. And the danger was unbelievable. And the people from North Carolina came to me and they said, 'Would it be possible at all possible for you to speak to Elon Musk, we need Starlink.' I said, 'What's Starlink?' It's a form of communication. So I called Elon. And I'll tell you what he had, and it was very dangerous. People would die. They had no communication. All the wires were down. I called Elon Musk. I said, 'Elon, you have something called Starlink. Is that right?' 'Yes, I do.' 'What the hell is it?' He said, 'It's a communication system that's very good.' I said, 'Elon, they need it really, really badly in North Carolina.' He got that there so fast. It was incredible."

"And we also have a man, Dana White, who has done some job. He's a tough guy." (Dana was Joe Rogans source about Elon's app)

Dana White: " I want to thank the boys Adin Ross, Theo Von, Bussin' with the Boys. And last but not least, the mighty and powerful Joe Rogan. And thank you, America. Thank you. Have a good night."

Trump: "We have more liquid gold, oil and gas. We have more liquid gold than any country in the world. More than Saudi Arabia. We have more than Russia."

"They said, 'He will start a war.' I'm not going to start a war. I'm going to stop wars. But this is also a massive victory for democracy and for freedom. Together, we're going to unlock America's glorious destiny. We're going to achieve the most incredible future for our people."

"Yesterday, as I stood at my last stop on the campaign trail, I'll never be doing a rally again, can you believe it? I think we've done 900 rallies approximately from. Can you imagine? 900, 901 or something. A lot of rallies. And it was sad. Everybody was sad. Many people. I said, 'This is our last rally,' but now we're going on to something that's far more important because the rallies were used for us to put, be put in this position where we can really help our country.

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-22-jeffrey-epstein-and-donald-trump/id1750757108?i=1000675243446

Journalist Michael Wolff leaked audio on the above podcast of Epatein saying how well he knew Trump, even during Trump's presidency. There's no evidence to support that Epstein was owned by Russia, but that Trump was so indiscriminate with him shows that he was probably indiscriminate in Russia and/or with Russian agents as well.

Imo it's possible Epstein tried to leverage a pardon from Trump for not spilling the beans and he got House of Cards'd

Lol. All the cable news is corporate owned and every large platform is controlled by a billionaire.

What were the Meta social media platforms, then?

Just curious which news stories X is suppressing.

Weird, because I remember back when Jack Dorsey used to run it no one was complaining, even though he’s also a billionaire.

As there's plenty of alternatives, I disagree that the platforms are the problem. Most people prefer to remain in their respective bubbles.

[–] zoostation@lemmy.world 156 points 3 days ago (4 children)

The time to do something about it was two years ago. The fucking morons who haven't deleted their Twitter account have been keeping the Nazi bar alive and relevant, I hope they're not surprised or complaining about anything now.

[–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 2 days ago

I left Twitter on the day, musk bought it. I knew, I could trust him with my data and him firing so many people proved me right. Twitter isn't a safe place for your data.

His politics, now and then, would have been good reasons too but you don't need politics. Everyday it becomes clearer, Twitter will fail.

After Watergate Americans learned that a free press could bring down a tyrannical government. So the Right got to work destroying the free press.

Reagan went after the Fairness Doctrine and made it easier for one company to own all the TV and radio stations in a town. The new tech helped destroy the local newspapers.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

1996 Telecommunications Act

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

The Fairness Doctrine was not about ownership. The 1996 TCA was exactly about ownership.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

1996 is 16 years after 1980, when Reagan started it.

Blaming the Act is like saying Harry Truman won WW2 for the Americans.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Irrelevant.

And after the Panama Papers, they got to work with Khashoggi. After Epstein, they got to work with Twitter

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 12 points 3 days ago (4 children)

I would also support a wealth cap at eg. $10M, or a rule to a similar effect

[–] GrymEdm@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (5 children)

I'd like to see a soft cap implemented that's tied to the nation's average income (I think median would be the most fair, but it's very possible I'm wrong). So for instance, the real median income in 2023 was about 80k according to census.gov. Let's say we cap total wealth at 500x that median which = 40 million, after which taxes make it increasingly difficult to accumulate wealth, and have a yearly earnings soft cap of 100x = 8 million with similar restrictions.

I think that would drastically reduce inequality while still preserving different economic classes, which I think are critical to motivating people into difficult, high-value jobs like engineers and surgeons. Stacking up 500 years worth of income would let the rich stay wealthy, and a soft cap would discourage hoarding and encourage spending which stimulates the economy and spreads money around. If the wealthy wanted to be able to earn more per year or raise the soft cap they'd have to arrange for the average income to go up. Moreover, I that increases across many people at the bottom would move the median more than a few large increases at the top, which would encourage a higher "floor" for earnings.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

That sounds sensible. Yes I have exactly the same line of thinking.
