In what ways do you think it could improve?

We need a complete journalistic supply chain

Reporters on the ground covering events

Analysts collating and representing data

Presenters portraying common themes and interacting with the community

That factor is growing

We also need a set of consistent and robust ethics and best practices

Enforced transparency and peer review

Stable business models

Individual and collective brand strength

on what scale do you think we should be looking at? Is this a grassroots solution or should an attempt be made to connect preexisting people and ideas to create the movement?

To actually replace legacy media as opposed to just undermining their agendas

Both

Im fully on board with this, the market is there so what you're putting forward is spot on

have any attempts been made at this "rebrand" (or movement or what ever the fuck its called)

Only on an individual basis from what I can see

Of course for the system to work it will have to capitalize on established individuals

mmmm yes, I often wonder if there is talk between sargon and co about this

capitalise away I'd say, youd come out with a far more positive resualt that the reset of the media

Part of the problem is the skeptic community is heavily loaded in commentators

We need a deep range of skill sets

It's something I've been thinking about

I used to watch all of them at one point now I just watch 2 or 3

I will definitely exploit people's contributions as I get more involved

I watch a handful

who would you like to see involved?

The thing is my vision at least is not necessarily of a cohesive group

wondering if some kind og coalition would be enough

But levels of individuals that adhere to certain basic standards for their roles

Coordinating in qualified trust with other levels of the system

We would need people like Tim Pool on the ground

Part of the problem is establishing strong and flexible connections between large numbers

Like Sargon generally trusts Pool bc they've met and he's reviewed his work

But a strong system may require hundreds of reporters

Ok, excuse my ignorance, Im going to be wrong here, but its an idea

is it possible you use something like the amazon cloud to build a streaming platform explicitly for this purpose?

It's certainly possible

an independant jouralist platform that have a code of ethics for people to access

A major issue is social capital

Something I am working on building

I would be interested in being involved if at all necessary

There is definitely a lot to do

More thinking will have to be done to determine actual courses of action

is this the best place to find you to discuss?

Yeah I'm on Discord most of the time

Twitter if I'm offline

I'll start my own Discord at some point but I have higher priorities atm

sounds great

I have a few ideas but im sure people on here have more/greater expertise in making it happen

Maybe some of them do idk; just keep developing your ideas if you know they have value

What you 2 are talking about?

Some gay shit

lowering the age of marriage

12

It doesn't look like Tim will be doing much on-the-ground reporting.

Because he always loses money.

If y’all start using postmodernism as a buzzword I recommend getting a sense of philosophers like Foucault. Discipline and Punish is like $12 with Prime and is probably his most digestible work.

It’s about how we’ve historically moved away from punishing the body through torture to punishing the soul instead

Thank you, Dr. Layman

You know it's about to be woke ass shit when it begins with *"well in Romania we -"*

"punishing the soul instead"

Sounds so much more wholesome

The first few pages recount an insanely violent execution from the 18th century

Seems a very inept execution

Damn gimme those fingers boi

*inept execution you say?*

Serious incompetence

I heard about that, sounds like they really need to wake tf up

i wanna see what bullshit gun contol bill they'll shit out now and totally ignore this guy got his guns illegally anyway

At least he didn’t get a dishonorable discharge, otherwise it would’ve been illegal for him to own a firearm under any circumstances and the AF would’ve been absolutely skewered for not sharing that

https://youtu.be/WMxIREDY_kg

@wjoe626 but he did get dishonorably discharged and they didn't file it. That's the whole point

Oh

It was bad conduct

My bad

but domestic violence

that disqualifies firearm ownership as well

Why he got kicked from the air force?

yea

the domestic violence

oh, got it

Ben Shapiro was listing off several jackass moves he did before he was discharged

Attacking his wife and intentionally and repeatedly cracking his infant sons skull was just part of him being a complete ass

What's your take on James Allsup?

James allsup?

Very conservative youtuber.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIZBXVGIJoJMXf8giib0IiQ

hmmm ill check him out

Decent followng, 167k subs.

I don't know, I like him but I think some of his videos lately have been iffy.

Is he a retrograder?

I dont want to authoritarians on either side to gain too much traction

Not sure what you mean by that. Like is he hyper traditionalist?

Yes

Would use the same tactics as an SJW

Maybe, I suppose it depends on your perspective.
