How hated is this guy?  He's nuts, but he makes some sense, frighteningly.

I really wish there weren't so many phony conspiracy theories and fake news articles floating around. Every now and then there is something genuinely shady going on or even a kernel of truth behind some of the articles but most of it is complete hogwash which tends to overshadow any bits of truth.

Social media.  As to how, why, will it pass?  F.. knows.  It's echo chamber mechanics.  Cultural influences take time to propagate properly, but will initially exist in enclosed echo chambers.  To defeat it, we need to break down those echo chambers.... but they are the core of social media "reward" mechanics that keeps everyone watching adverts.

EDIT:  The trouble is it's expanding out of social media into real world face to face, with real guns and real deaths.  Rewards mechanics.  I get more likes on social media if I get shot in the face by a storm trooper.

Social media is bad, but you can't blame it all on them. The main stream media have lost all touch with reality. They don't report what happened. They report what they would like to have happened. Its all about the narrative.

Anyway, this is off-topic. Pack it in, before this thread gets locked.

I agree but I have to get this thought I just had out regarding what Paulca said before.

I think it seems by now neither side is going to accept coming election results. No matter what happens.
Isn't it an hilarious jest by nature to bring in a global Pandemic now, triggering all the Zombie Survivalist US Citizens to arm up?
Spicy times and a stark reminder we are merely living in the middle of History.  :o

No wonder!

There's already a country in Europe in which the votes count is supervised by a company that belongs to none other than... George Soros.

Edit: Sorry, it seems that was fake news. The company I was referring to is Indra, and the country Spain, but Soros' share has never been more than 0.7%, and now it's close to none.

If "Falconetti" is the sugarboy of the Soros

"Sánchez has met more times with Soros and his clan since he became president than with Pablo Casado(opponent)."
