You have one of the symptoms.

It’s how conspiracy theories work: find out who could theoretically profit, blame them and spread it as fact. It doesn’t have to stand up to scrutiny, if it sounds plausible “you told them like it is”.

Also, most US citizens want the same regulations as EU citizens, but only one of them have a functioning government.

So they are both inside and outside the 'cult' at the same time.

Is there also a thing called Readability blindness?

Can you define cult?

It's a bit different with fishery as the backbone of your economy vs. oil, minerals and banking.

With the state of the world right now they can probably get a very good deal.

That’s not pessimism, it’s defeatism. And it’s part of the reason why the world thinks Americans are stupid. Trump’s supporters are in the minority now and the majority thinks they are powerless.

You only need a million people in Washington to make a change. It starts with one.

Don’t expect the news to do the protesting for you. It’s up to you to do that.

It’s not. Get organized. A single person is powerless. A group of people is a powerful force. Start today.

Enough to make 50k very sick. Not a problem.

AI scraper traffic from residential bots is skewing all statistics.

That's why I created my own advertising platform for my niche. Loaded server side, only geo and context targeted.

No cookies, no focus on views.

Only click tracking (minimal bot noise).

I do have to find advertisers myself, but I rather go after advertisers with a good name than display scam ads for toe fungi remedies.

My brother just asked about all the monuments and they literally said "don't know, don't care'.

Is that arrogance or ignorance?

Protests have worked in societies with 10x more government control.

You already sound defeated.

Patriotism is more than just waving a flag and shouting “U-S-A”.

And Americans continue to limit themselves to angry posts online. The streets are empty so the grifting continues.

The USA is a joke. The constant grifting and the staggering incompetence is stinking mad.

And how do you reflect on yourself?

To this day I never met any of them.

Whataboutisms do nothing to refute genuine criticisms.

> you have to choose between losing a source or compromise with the platform

I thought so too. But after leaving 3 years ago it turns out: Not a single source is that important.

Also, as the importance increases, the likelihood of seeing the same information outside that hellhole increases linearly.

If someone is still on twitter I'm just going to assume their morals align with those of Musk.

And then I avoid them.

Just admit you’re a fan. No shame in that.

Let a thousand Nitters bloom.

And now there's 0x Alpha, which is their (now free) new model.

I'm not from the US, but it seems to me the political divide and compromised information channels are just part of the problem. I would like to remind that you also have:

- A corrupt, multi-tier judicial system

- A staggering amount of money in politics

- A woefully misguided superiority complex

- Acceptance that the people have no power anymore

- A complete lack of willpower to go out and protest

- An underfunded and underperforming education system

You guys need a guy like Zohran Mamdami as president.

Like with any advise that ought to get you expertise or ability, if you're not goal oriented, actively gathering and acting on feedback and hyper focused on improving, you will only waste time.

I’m convinced republicans don’t have the mental capacity to reason.
