Anybody who watches or reads what we call the main stream media is an idiot, ye, but our slogans, Fake news, Fake news media and so on are basically a huge mistake, and so are the routes we're directing them.
Why should we talk to our totally dumb brothers and sisters INDIRECTLY, through the same monsters that made them so and must keep them so.
The only option those monsters (main stream media) have in regards to their remaining viewers and readers, is to make them dumber every day, because once they lose such slave (to real internet info, basically) there's a slim chance they'll ever get him/her back.
And what do we do? Instead of shaming our brothers and sisters directly, mostly on social media, and calling them what they are – the dumbest people ever lived, and all derivatives of that, we TRY to 'talk' to them (sorry for repeating) indirectly via the same ones whose main interest is to keep them so.
You think any of those idiots will change in that way? Would you change that way? Without sufficient pain, without sufficient shame? Is that how life works? The actual impression you'll get is that the barbarians from the right are actually desperate for your attention, trying so hard to convert you, willing to spend their lives in attempts to pass that huge firewall (MSM) only so they can get a bit of your attention. NO WONDER LEFTISTS FEEL SUPERIOR.
No more indirect talk to our brothers and sisters please. Why brothers and sisters? What separates us from them is pure luck. We, just as easy, could have been the 'primitive moron that still watches CBS', 'the total looser who actually pays for NYT', 'That CNN lobotomized slave' (Feel free, or better - obligated to come up with many more, then use them. I'll concentrate on the remaining content for now).
Not much remaining actually. Without enough pain, shame and contempt we'll keep getting weaker and weaker (somehow we are) and convert smaller and smaller numbers.
Of course, there would be downstream effects as well. The reputation, the context and anything about MSM will be worse. Just think of the defense, instead of the constant offense, they'll need to apply once they'll realize the walls of the ghetto have been breached.
And there's the other side: When you see the next MSM garbage claim, comment or article, instead of barking how they lie and contradict things they said 3 minutes ago, ask (publicly/on the internet) 'What do I need to do to get 10 million infantile slaves', 'How come I don't have even one slave, while NYT has millions of them and those even pay for the garbage they are fed, it's not democratic, we should split 50-50'. One more? 'I have so many lies to tell and I'm willing to tell them even to the dumbest of all people, but somehow they prefer to get them directly from CNN'.
Now PLEASE, if you find it to be a bit more than just another post, spread it around. I chose ruqqus and this guild for a reason, I hope it will prove to be a good one.
Like how you coin MSM as a firewall! Adding: firewall from reality. Good write!
Media Overkill. How do people differentiate between facts and nonsense? We have an education system that degrades thinking skills and analysis. It is hard for the people you write about (the globalist-democrat cannon fodder) to accept difficult news or think critically.
I agree. I like some of the memes and stuff, but you shouldn't avoid long form and/or civil conversations with liberals if you get the opportunity. This should be the norm. If we all, or majority, had such a tone of trying to constantly reason with them, sans joking and insults, I feel that it would be highly successful. Pride is actually a big deal in this. Some people will simply dig-in out of distaste for how they are being approached, and if you approach some one all bully-like, you have to realize you're giving them a way out outside of the logic. They'll simply take it. Don't make it easy for them. . . be polite, don't cuss, don't insult, go the distance with them if they give you time, etc. Also, a person who tries this should understand, also in lieu of pride, most people will not allow you to change their mind publicly. It's just the way it is, so if you have a conversation and leave with things seeming the same, it actually might be effective later when they calm down and see it again in their mind.
