Climate hypocrites – they travel about the world with wild abandon while telling us we should not travel. This is how not to run a propaganda campaign and their hypocratic behavior, and not believing in what they are preaching, falls flat on the rest of us.
The news media, which is now extensively fenced off behind pay walls, is upset that Twitter might consider a subscription-based model.
The primary purpose of social media is to enable pundits to say things and make utter fools of themselves 🙂
Propaganda used to require access to a printing press or broadcast license. Social media changed all that – in an instant, anyone can be a propagandist and publish their messaging for free, potentially to large audiences.
The elite have lost their eliteness and their control over propaganda. They are not happy about that.
Promoters of social media censorship say it is necessary to combate misinformation and disinformation. But then, who regulates offline speech, such as political hit pieces that arrive via postal mail the week before an election? No one does. In fact, the government regulating either is a First Amendment violation – they cannot regulate our speech.
