    Be kind to others, the game is rigged against them. Propaganda has never been stronger and its everywhere.

    Just yesterday I saw a video discussing how private equities buy up YouTube channels to seemingly both squeeze them for their worth and/or use their trust to push an agenda. E.g. fern & veritasium stood out to me the most.

      The propaganda is lazy and obvious. I will not demand that many of them being hanged in the street but I will not sit here and act as though they aren’t immensely fucking stupid for falling for this crap. They can’t even be consistent enough in their own messaging to claim that the wool has been pulled over their eyes.

      No, we’re long past the point where not being able to think critically about the shit we’re fed is acceptable. Misinformation has been rampant for decades. Anyone still swallowing it deserves all the criticism coming their way. People still buy into Trump’s bullshit for fucks sake. Fuck em.

        It got acquired some years back and he even talked about it in a video year something later. Doesn’t mean he’s sold out, but the impact will be there.
