Great for the people who just now are beginning to pay attention to the world, but it's common knowledge for most here, and the ones who really need to read and understand it will outright refuse to, or dismiss with "Nazi apologist!"
It was never directly the media for me, but I guess I never really went through an "a ha!" redpill moment. It's just for a decade now I've noticed more and more arguments that just don't stand up to logical scrutiny at all. It's become totally normal to make connections between two unrelated things and use one as evidence of the other.
For example, if I question the efficacy of masks, and I'm presented in response with a guy on his death bed saying "I wish I'd worn a mask!" What proof does this guys statement give me that masks work. He's making assumption that they do and he wouldn't be there because of it, but that's just it--assumption!
That's not even the best example and it's gone back way before Covid. I quit gaming discussion on Reddit in late 2019 for this same phenomenon where totally unrelated assumptions and opinions would be decided were objective fact and linked to something totally unrelated. Not as a discussion point, but as clear and final proof that the "facts" were on their side.
While the opinions in the thread are valid, and a damn good recap of the last year-and-change's worth of events, I utterly hate reading pieces that should be a long-form blog post or article in Twitter thread format. Here's the unroll:
At my college in a VERY niggery city there was a fraternity supposedly founded by Robert E. Lee. They were kind of the chad frat and had a lot of parties and fucked a lot of women. Supposedly some niggers were walking outside during one of the parties and ended up going in. As the story goes something got out of hand and the niggers were ganged up on and beaten bloody, thrown out onto the street.
The school was in an uproar. Students protested and speakers came. Local news and possibly national news came to do stories on it. I was young and naive so the morning after the incident I went to frat row and looked for evidence. From what I heard you'd think the entire street would be bloody and wreckage from a riot by whites would be all over the place.
Nope. Just a few drops of what could possible be blood but very well might have been paint. Sunday mornings on frat row has been much worse. Still you wouldn't believe the outcry about this supposed incident. This was long before the slightest look from a white person to a nigger would start an activist mob.
There were some nigger frats on campus that were talking about starting a war with the Robert E Lee frat but nothing happened. This was a big story for several months and there was not one shred of evidence, no police reports, no bruises from the niggers (who were on the baseball team and very visible) just a story from a few people that changed depending on who told it.
No archive because that wouldn't catch the whole thing, and I don't have a twatter account so I can't go ping that unroll bot that would put the whole thing into a single page. Also nothing particularly new, but it's a good summary of the shit that happened, mostly during the corona shitshow, but also of some things that preceded it.
It reminds me of when I stopped believing the media: Oil spill in the gulf of mexico roughly 10 - 15 years ago. Non stop CNN lies. Saw and witnessed it first hand. Never believed anything they say since.

Yup, I read the comments. Big mistake.

The virus so deadly and widespread you need your twitter thread reader to remind you it exists

Yeah, that really should have been a blogpost. Social media and its consequences...

What other signals are the secret government spy devices in your teeth picking up, oh wise misogynist of the pond?
