yea I mean I watch the same people

its just boring without the other side

They have certainly rebranded themselves that way...but I think we are polluting the Rittenhouse chat. I take partial blame.

Fair. I donated $25 to Kyle so I guess I helped get that lawyer richer 😂

Bite your tongue. Lawyers don't care about the money.

If someone can hack in and change this channels name to “lawyers on social media” we will be fine lol

Lmao

Go Fundme shutting down Rittenhouse red pilled to something

the entire bifurcation of that case in the media really changed something in me

You were fine until then? Thicker skin than me, for sure.

lol

I wasn't fine, but before I was mad at the media; after I accepted and wasn't mad anymore, but just shocked

My polarization meter broke long ago.

basically I consider FB, Twitter, and popnews media as simply a part of the DNC, and then write them off (now)

instead of ever expecting it to change, I now want and encourage bifurcation

this is one of the reasons I don't want "section 230 reform" or other such nonsense

I don't want to fix twitter or FB

I want them to die

and they are on the verge of being in danger of losing their natural monopoly

I've closed my FB and twitter accounts

Except they won't die. We'll just have parallel systems and people will continue to caricature their opposition.

over the last year, a dozen competitors to FB twitter and youtube have tried to compete with the big tech corps

that's fine with me

being unified just means you have the illusion of not being in a parallel system

basically it is parallel _already_ except one side has no infrastructure at all

(but I do think they will die eventually, because by having 2 systems, they no longer have a natural monopoly of social networks)

The caricatures aren't reality though. The echo chambers amplify themselves and we are seeing the front side of the consequences as we speak.

that's fine

I mean we are headed to that anyway

it is an orthogonal problem

being together won't solve it

(one side would just get censored out whenver the two sides cross paths)

I disagree. That affords itself no meaningful counter-argument, I reckon.

here is the two things to weigh:

OTOH

A. you are basically donating money to the DNC by being on such a platform, and basically giving free ad time to the DNC


OTOH

B. you are together with the other side and mitigate some of the false caricaturing

I choose not to donate and give free ad space

it isn't worth whatever social gain there is by staying unified

Do you think I'm a CCP operative? Some people literally think that. (I'm not) That's what tribalism does.

:squinty eyes:

Lol

look, let me reframe this

I don't really care for a bifurcation of a censored left and a censored right
