my friend had a go at how excessively white I am the other day

@M4Gunner
It's more about responsibility

Since you are here
Watch this video
And bask in the self delusion of some people

If you want to say " all cops are bad" do it, but you have to understand that this might cause some trouble to innocent people

now I just want food

well, in the meantime I'll watch crowder

@M4Gunner
Yeah

TYT isn't real news anyway, even if they want to pretend they are

They are just about pushing a narrative

@M4Gunner
Agreed

>TYT
>Journalism
pick one

hmm...I do think we need more penalties for blatant ties/propaganda, but how do we implement that without turning tyrannical?

especially since the court of public opinion is currently such a farce

@Futh
I don't think it's possible.

A law like that can be used for censorship easily

The best thing you can do to counter that, is having a big and unbiased news outlet

that's what I'm worried about as well.

And we're at the point where people are too partisan to be thorough and too busy/lazy to sift through the details

so huge portions of the public are enablers.

Its a problem when the actual companies like YouTube and whatnot go out of their way to promote them too

@Futh
Agreed

@M4Gunner
Yeah

it's going to be really hard to hold peoples' feet to the fire. I guess you don't need the majority to do so, but it'll be hard to really assess how many it takes.

and yeah, a lot of corporations will straight up pursue their/their sponsors' ideological goals and slants despite protest because you can't mobilize energy indefinitely. activism requires fuel and people have lives.

they'll just outlast them.

@Futh
Yeah

I think the topic of "breaking up" big companies came up last night?

Personally, I think it's sketchy territory with a lot of risk to give the state an inch and cede a mile but it'd probably improve things

at least if limited to a google-sized entity.

@Futh
I won't disagree, but i won't agree

it's definitely dangerous territory

Still, Google might be doing things far worse than what Facebook did

at the very least, I don't want it to be the tool used. but I'd carefully keep it as a backup plan

duckduckgo already exists

but the problem is too few people really seem to be looking to get off of google.

they're integrated

it's at the point of habit or home

that's a high hurdle. not impossible tho
