clearly not

so then your theory is shit

why does the alt right make such good memes

i never used to understand this "divisive" argument

but i think i get it now

if people are divided, they cant form a coherent movement against the establishment

but the question is whether this is intentional or not

it requires us to postulate very high abstraction abilities

yes but by who

i think this divisiveness is just a symptom

but it does lead to incoherent movements

like what causes divisiveness

people go into their own cocoons

listen to the same feedback loop of media

and come out with very strong ideas on how things are and should be

but theres no great being who is setting up these feedback loops on purpose

these feedback loops exist because theyre profitable

so the divisiveness to me seems like collateral

and to some degree its good imo

its stimulating conversation

but also say these feedback loops didnt exist

then where would people get their media from?

the same corporate hegemons?

doesnt that allow for a further centralisation of the information flow

make it even easier to control thought?

i think the decentralisation of thought is a good thing because if ideas are censored in one domain, they can be discussed elsewhere

well not really

i mean

corporate media yes

but online media no

like counterpunch.org is funded by socialists and stuffz

whereas dave rubin is funded by the koch bros

but i agree with you on corporate media

msnbc is funded by general electric and their big buddies

fox news is funded by similar sources

yea corporate media have this problem

but i dont think corporate media is causing the divisiveness

i think online media is

well no

i mean

if you vote for the green party

youve done nothing

good thing about aussie voting is everything counts

you get 6 preferences and each 1st preference gets a donation to their next campaign

so i could vote full commie in australia

and even though commies would never ever ever win

the vote still counts

(im not a fkn commie ok)

who cares

conservatives are dumb

no reason to prop up that ideology

what

i didnt call you a conservative

i implied they were censoring conservative viewpoints

i dont

but if theyre gonna do it

take out right wingers first

i didnt say you were anything

in what field lmao

environment?

who said thats what im advocating for

i use fucking lineage OS

do you know what that is

its an anti google OS

yea

???

how is this support for them?

the line above i literally said i dont support it

imagine cropping out the most relevant line

ill ask again

do you know what Lineage OS is

do you use it

its not besides the point

the fact i use it suggests i dont support google at all

yet youre trying to make out like i do

i cant do shit to stop google and all the social media giants censoring people

and i hate their data privacy policies

so i quit almost every platform

they shouldnt

but they do

this is the world we live in

and if we have to deal with this world, im happy that they censor right wingers instead of centrists or centre left

ofc not

i would say nationalise them but the US govt is so corrupt

so thats probs even worse

can easily classify them as a utility

but until that happens

CENSOR CONSERVATIVES

i really hope they dont boot crowder and shapiro off youtube though

that could spark an alternative video media to rise up into the void

full of right wing bullshit

be a literal circle jerk feedback loop of right wing nonsense

well they banned alex jones

so who knows

alex jones is the least dangerous too

yep

no one takes him seriously

so hes not a real threat

people take crowder and shapiro seriously

so they are real threats
