The Atlantic's headline "People Aren’t Meant to Talk This Much" is barely a step away from "Children are to be seen and not heard." For all the double-masking their reporters no doubt do, they're unmasking how they truly feel about the lowly masses, aren't they?
Apparently the atlantic: misses the “good old days when people listened to reporters and not to each other.” Really? Never again will I listen to reporters. Our lives depend on searching for the truth for ourselves. Reporters and politicians talk "to us" not with us. I'm tired of it.
OMG that typing cat is just hilarious. Couldn't stop laughing. Thank god people are waking up, more and more as news agencies spread the fake news of how good the jabs are. Do they think people can be fooled forever?
The responses to the tweet about the VA Dem false flag thing are hilarious. Like 75% of them are doubling down: "yeah well GQP is fascist and we've taken the high road too long"
Back on the original point... this stuff gives me hope for the democratization of power. It's AMAZING to see institutions throw tantrums when they can't arbitrarily control people.
I can imagine The Atlantic literally posting "Actually, Fascism DOES Prevent White Supremacy And Right-Wing Disinformation" in the next year or so.
That cat on the laptop is the best thing I've seen all month. Can't stop watching it! Also, great post. And yeah, despite how sh*tty it feels to watch the censorship campaigns rev into high gear, it is also oh, so satisfying to recognize how desperate they are...and how helpless their efforts will ultimately be.
Ice Cube dropping out of that Hell No movie over a vaccine requirement is another example of a black celebrity resisting. As that trend builds, it gets more difficult for the authorities to maintain the facade of legitimacy to the lockdown structure.
The one comfort, possibly a delusional one, that I harbor is that while these outlets would have been far more able to get away with all this a decade ago, they also were not TRYING to get away with all of it a decade ago. Lying, misleading, sure, but not in the pathological, brazen way we see now.
The escalation and toxication of "public" discourse that started in '09 (Retweeting added to Twitter), more widely adopted in '12 (share button added to Facebook) and really got wild in '16 (you know what) — it really broke the brains of a lot of people. Legacy media saw it as their sacred duty to put a stop to it, which of course just broke things further.
My favorite quote of this great post, well, that and Tommy Robinson and the typing cat:
"it’s the squalid swansong of an entire edifice sliding into irrelevance and pining for past prominence as “reporter” increasingly becomes a backwater of bootlickers sliding into ignominy and penury.
who would trust such people and the dying dinosaurs of their mastheads?
you can feel him working up to saying “damnable deplorables and their confounded ideas! they need limiting! the bully pulpit is for ME not for THEE!”
Keep praying they slide into irrelevancy and help them along as much as you can!
I think we're watching a decades old propaganda machine finally becoming exposed by the powers of social media and crowd sourced fact checking. It just seems like the propaganda is more egregious now because it's being unravelled and is fighting to stay alive.
We should all be optimistic watching these corporate media conglomerates coming apart.
Love to see the world standing up and telling everyone from Soros to fauci to kool aid drinking docs and nurses, to neighbors that we will not stand for this any longer. I pray that if we have to march, that we can take on numbers like we see above in every major city in the US. Our brothers and sisters in other countries are examples of profiles in courage.
i learned some new words today and laughed and shook my head at the last meme. thanks for the hope shared in your post and starting my day out right, gato malo!!!
I never thought of reporters as a source I ‘must listen to’. In the best case scenario they were dispassionate tellers of what has transpired across the globe. Merely telling about happenings. Pretty please without opinion. I know that doesn’t exist 😝

To thunderous applause.

Tears!! OMG amazing
It’s nice to see protests, but have they accomplished anything anywhere? The ruling class has not budged.

Tune in and tune out. The media does an excellent job at keeping people uninformed.
Based on their latest ratings, is anyone even watching CNN anymore?
