@anneapplebaum2000 on the current moment of political violence: For the first time, “we have a social-media system that encourages the most outrageous, the most extreme statements, and then rewards them financially.” #TAF25 Watch here: bit.ly/46lDaLT

Those people and companies that paid to be at the inauguration and on the dais are liable, for the dumbing and downfall .....hold them responsible it has become INTENTIONAL!! FOR BOTH PROFIT AND POWER AND ITS TIED TO CRYPTO. Ask, question. No one would allow such people in govt power, benefit them.

“Fighting the extremes” is the discourse of the power. It is convenient because you don’t have to define what “extreme” is. Stop bagging together literal nazis and christo-fascists with people fighting for the right of their bodily autonomy.

Complaining about political violence never comes from people loosing their jobs, or being wrongfully detained, or being deported… it comes from a system that relies on the wrong qualification of what political violence is.

It also drives MSM because it loves extremism, crudeness and outrage to drive traffic. Just look at how much media Farage is getting in the UK. The same as we saw with Trump. No matter what they stand for or offer any real solutions. Just a money game. And capitalists in the US are thriving,

Yeah the um “extreme left” that don’t want immigrants to be disappeared into concentration camps, bodily autonomy, healthcare, housing, civil rights, education, etc etc. So scary. We have been sounding the alarm against fascism for a while now. The legacy media told us to hush up.

This is on point. Social media has empowered everyone to raise their voice and to maximize engagement, without regard to civility or society’s interest to promote mutual understanding. The silo-ing of community has other causes, but social media has amplified and accelerated it.
