Twitter Censorship, And Other Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix – Scoop.co.nz

If people truly understood the extent to which mentalnarrative dominates their experience of life, propaganda,advertising and all other forms of psychologicalmanipulation would be regarded by our society similarly tophysical assault or property theft.

It is verytelling that Twitter only started censoring Trump forviolating terms of service when he promoted violence againstAmericans. He's been tweeting insanely hawkish threatsagainst people in other nations for years, but they don'tcount as real people.

~

FYI if you're more upsetby Twitter censoring one of the most powerful people in theworld for inciting violence than by Twitter routinelycensoring anti-imperialist accounts, it's because you're amindless partisan hack.

Twitter going to warwith Trump benefits ordinary people. If we're lucky Twitterwinds up being forced to scale back its censorshipprotocols. If we're really lucky Trump stops advocatingmurdering people for looting.

It's sofascinating how liberals think they can just end conspiracytheories by having them censored by a blanket collaborationof shady Silicon Valley tech oligarchs. Says a lot about howlittle they understand - or want to understand - about otherperspectives.

I mean how do they imagine that's goingto work exactly? "Oh okay I used to think that 5G was forcontrolling nanobots injected into us under the pretense ofa mandatory coronavirus vaccine, but now all the onlineposts about that have been removed by an opaque conspiracyof tech billionaires so I guess I'll stop believingthat."

~

The establishment doesn't fear Trump's"populist" base anymore than they fear Trump. They've beeneasily propagandized into backing longstanding establishmentagendas against Iran, China, Venezuela, Russia, Assange,etc. They're as worthless and neutered as Obama's basewas.

Support Assange? Okay well we need to extraditehim for his safety. Oppose Russia hysteria? Just ignore allTrump's cold war escalations then. Oppose war? Those areObama's wars, not Trump's. A slight narrative adjustment wasall it took to herd them in.

If you believefighting the deep state has something to do with beating theDemocrats and supporting Donald Trump, then you are notactually interested in fighting the deep state. What you areactually doing is called "being aRepublican".

~

Life pro tip: If you findyourself cheering for the same "people's uprising" in aforeign nation that the US State Department is also loudlycheering for, it's because you've been propagandized. Pleaserevise your media consumption habits and critical thinkingskills accordingly.

~

I don't know who needs tohear this, but you will never, ever hate China hard enoughto make manufacturing jobs return toAmerica.

~

People think they're making aprofound and important distinction when they say "No I hatethe Chinese government, not the Chinesepeople." As though all the worst warmongers haven'tbabbled about supporting "the people" ofIraq/Libya/Syria/etc prior to every act ofimperialism.

~

Complete list of arguments I'vereceived against my opposition to cold war escalations withChina:

- You love the CCP

- You think they'venever done anything wrong

- Commie

- How manyyuan were you paid to say this?

- If you love China somuch you should move there

End oflist.

If people moving too far to the leftfeatures anywhere on your list of major imminent threats toour society, you are an asshole.

~

Trump is nota Nazi Putin puppet, nor is he a populist savior. He's amiserable rich man from a miserable rich family who did whatwas necessary to become the president of a corruptbloodthirsty empire, and then had a bunch of gratuitousnarratives heaped on that from bothsides.

~

I've never encountered anyone onlinewith whom I consistently agree, and if you're an independentthinker you won't either. Spend less energy concerningyourself with which individuals are good or bad and more onwhat information and ideas are true andhelpful.
