Just as people vote with a ballot.
We can vote with our money.

So here we go again we are using archiac terminoliogy and thinkking mentality here. Its not just about money. How much money does a user pay to use facebook or twttier? Social media's currency is data mianly YOU'RE data.

We have a whole generation that is brought up and raised on social media with social media being a central role in their life.

To think that social media is just going to go away because some people leave is just not viable.

I dont know if you have heard of this documentary but a good one to watch is " the social dilemma" It details how addicting social media can be. and when people are addictted to soem thing its not always as easy just to wlk away from it.


I think all people should leave social media and yes, I've seen that already...
Let's argue talking points when you can spell correctly, k bby?

You'd make a better point if you didn't resort to finishing with deragatory social media cringe..

Eww dude... It's more of a human flaw and how power corrupts, not race.

People can be terrible.

I'm sufficiently convinced that Twitter will eventually go the way of Myspace.

The question remains will these idiots realize that it was their fault?

Probably not.


Of course not. They'll blame Trump supporters and our violent tweets, such as "Trump 2020" for example.

OK! I see you edited some of your post and have corrected some grammar (excellent my fellow ATS member!).

I agree with your talking points. BUT:

I believe this "generation" that has been raised on social media is directly the fault of bad parenting. For example, if you watched "The Social Dilemma", you see at the end how all the architects of those platforms won't allow their own children to use the programs that they created! That's the take-away all people should get.

That's also where my stance is. People need to decide what is more important. Allowing a social media network to raise their children or actually being a good parent and monitoring their behavior and/or correctly limiting exposure. My personal opinion is not a popular viewpoint so I'll keep it to myself.

Social media is not as important as the world wants you to think it is. (or the programmers) I adamantly believe that it is extremely viable to get rid of these nefarious forms of entertainment in order to form a more perfect union and that it's necessary to get back to nature rather than leash ourselves to a computer.

Unfortunately, the addiction is real but I disagree that it's not easy to break.
It is. Most people just don't want to.

Why, are we not allowed to dislike the character of someone who isn't white or Conservative?

Sorry but the race card has been used too much, it's faded and unreadable now.

Nothing to see here, move along.

The NWO is aaaalll about guests from other neighborhoods coming into your home, sleeping in your bed, eating at your table, and telling you how $hitty your residence is. But when you react in the way you did, you see, you're treading dangerously close to "White Nationalist" thinking. Otherwise labeled as quote-unquote White Fragility. The factual or logical or moral integrity of what you just laid out is not really at play. Once guests arrive, they should make themselves "right at home" and explain how you've been doing it all wrong, politely, or sometimes not so politely (see summer of 2020), why you need to remodel your house.

Pointing out that if a guest doesn't find your hospitality up to their standards, no one is preventing them from going back to their house, is considered a faux pas of the highest order.

You're to shut up, forget about how you're accustomed to running your house, watch your house receive an "extreme makeover" (history and monuments of torn to shreds).

You'll get nothing and like it, as I believe I heard it once said.

Or in NWO terms for the 21st century....

You'll Own Nothing and Like It

This is why everywhere on the world, the economics is being ruined.

i thought about this today. House prices are an all time high. Not once everything crashes. Currently a lot of companies are kept from bankruptcy, when they crash finally, a lot of people are going to be without a job.

House market will collapse, this is why systems like Harz4 were implemented. You want help? Sell your stuff first. Houses will be cheap and the winners, once again, are the big players.

Then you will have the people begging for controlling the market, "fair" and once these control systems are in place, what you effectively have is planned economy, but without the little guy.

It all falls into place slowly.

Been to India, and had to deal with the worst of their beaurocracy (my wife and I did a surrogacy procedure there back when it was legal in about 2014).

The level of stupidity makes ours look extremely efficient by comparison.

The truly disturbing part is that there are many who agree with this. Some right here on these boards. The continued censorship of Conservative voices tells me one very important thing.
The Lefts' ideas/ideology are not strong enough to stand up to scrutiny and so they must silence any voice outside their Groupthink.
Like children with their fingers in their ears going "lalalalala" so they don't have to hear the truth.

To anyone who does agree with this type of censorship, just remember that when the system turns on you....YOU wanted this.



I've noticed this as well. The most startling aspect is that many that push this narrative of US cultural exculpation the hardest are born and raised right here! Shocking and ironic, but there does seem to be some factors I've noticed that help substantiate this kind of national identity nihilism though. I'm no psychologist but I have watched this attitude play out, and have collected a sort of personality profile from bits and scraps of narratives sprinkled here/there.

* Aging.
* No children.
* No ideological/spiritual framework of "the next life" or "next plane of existence" (i.e. light's out parties over)
* No public service military or otherwise on their behalf, or
* If military members in the family, that person is not on friendly terms
* No sense of national pride
* Feelings of personal inadequacy and/or self-loathing (border line psychological health issues)
* Often not close with family, but not always
* Often well educated and well traveled, but not always
* Often affluent or from a somewhat comfortable background, but not always

The key pieces here to me are no children, no (for lack of better term) faith, nothing you would call a legacy to hand down to a next generation or some notion of passing along customs or traditions.

So there is no "skin in the game", no buy in or personal investment in the future of what the US looks like after they'll be dust in a box. For the rest of us here that don't tick off the majority of those boxes, we DO VERY MUCH care about preserving our legacy for those that come after us when we're dead, whether it be our children, family, fellow soldier or citizens or even immigrants from across the world that come here for the American Dream.

It's actually quite sad; a cultural apathy born out of loneliness, growing sense of isolation, awareness of one's own mortality, lack of self esteem, absence of national identity/pride.

All of this then translates into resentment for others that DO care about a legacy or dynastic passing of culture, and the resentment turns to anger and hate. And IMO this account for about 80%+ of the antipathy that we see from Americans that want to essentially blow it all up and wipe out the US as it's been known for 2+ centuries.

If you haven't seen, I'd highly recommend watching the Joe Rogan podcast with journalist Tim Poole basically eviscerating Jack Dorsey and Vijaya Gadde about their bias...

Here is a clip...

Rogan doesn't give crap if you're democrat or republican... he doesn't care about feelings. He will go for the jugular in a gentle yet straightforward manner.

Well the take away I got was more reform then walk away as they all can see that social media is not going away anytime soon.

a reply to: havok

Do you think the addiction to social media is on par with drug abuse and alcohol abuse??

I disagree with you. that the social media additction is easy to break. especially during covid times, when you are prohibitied or frowned upon from gathering but it is encoraged that you gather on social media. Bars are closed (sorry at least where I am ) how do you have group discussions now?

Social media at least right now is the main way people are connecting, I am not advocating for that but I am just stating fact that more people are connecting through social media.
