So disheartened to see boomers I thought were at least semi-redpilled (in terms of deep state, military-industrial complex, and their lies) now completely spit those redpills out over this Iran nonsense.

2020-01-05 21:35:22 UTC  

Yep

2020-01-05 21:35:39 UTC  

And I'm seeing an astro-turfing and gaslighting campaign online that I haven't witnessed since 2016

2020-01-05 21:35:43 UTC  

already

2020-01-05 21:36:17 UTC  

surpassing anything with Robert Mueller/impeachment or anything since 2016

2020-01-05 21:37:00 UTC  

in just a matter of a few days

2020-01-05 21:37:14 UTC  

What are those terms

2020-01-05 21:37:31 UTC  

ASTROturf and gaslight

2020-01-05 21:37:54 UTC  

what's the opposite of grassroots?

2020-01-05 21:37:57 UTC  

astroturf

2020-01-05 21:38:08 UTC  

fake grassroots

2020-01-05 21:38:17 UTC  

yeah

2020-01-05 21:38:29 UTC  

And what is grassroots

2020-01-05 21:38:36 UTC  

Jose Skies

2020-01-05 21:38:36 UTC  

Not caught up on the American terms

2020-01-05 21:38:50 UTC  

wholesome, community organized, honest, regular folk

2020-01-05 21:38:53 UTC  

and gaslighting is like an incessant effort to get people to believe stuff they don't believe

2020-01-05 21:39:12 UTC  

like we're retconning MAGA and what Trump campaigned on.

2020-01-05 21:39:40 UTC  

So grassroots is good people with good campaign

2020-01-05 21:39:47 UTC  

So not Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden

2020-01-05 21:40:03 UTC  

And gaslighting is saying that Trump is misogynist

2020-01-05 21:40:57 UTC  

Right?

2020-01-05 21:41:18 UTC  

Oh the black face dog

2020-01-05 21:41:18 UTC  

no

2020-01-05 21:41:26 UTC  

That's funny 😂

2020-01-05 21:41:40 UTC  

Oh okay, give me examples?

2020-01-05 21:41:51 UTC  

gaslighting would be like a coordinated campaign to get you to believe the sky is red, when it's blue

2020-01-05 21:41:57 UTC  

it's psychological warfare

2020-01-05 21:41:58 UTC  

Ohh

2020-01-05 21:42:13 UTC  

So when liberals do the whole thing about how everyone is a nazi

2020-01-05 21:42:23 UTC  

And conservatives make you think everyone is taking your guns

2020-01-05 21:42:32 UTC  

yeah, redefining what a Nazi is

2020-01-05 21:42:49 UTC  

So gaslighting is also like fear monger

2020-01-05 21:43:14 UTC  

i'd say fearmongering is like a subset of gaslighting

2020-01-05 21:43:59 UTC  

maybe a refresher course on gaslighting, astroturfing, war propaganda, and examples would make for a good TPS subject? @JFGariepy

2020-01-05 21:44:27 UTC  

War propaganda

2020-01-05 21:44:30 UTC  

Lot of that already

2020-01-05 21:44:39 UTC  

People are ready to rumble as you might call it

2020-01-05 21:46:25 UTC  

Also, I have a question

2020-01-05 21:46:36 UTC  

hmm
