Not quite.
Proof: COVID hysteria was global.
Maybe you could argue that the powers that be orchestrated it world over just for Trump. That would even allow them to conjure up whatever lies they wanted to suggest that Trump was uniquely bad at handling a non-unique disaster. They certainly tried to do that, but that's a very big operation for just the goal of ousting Trump, especially when they were just going to cheat anyways.
I do think, however, that helping to get Trump out was part of the scheme. One useful consequence of many, basically. I think the real plan was this "Great Reset." Force people into compliance, fear, and dependence. Throw the economy and individual autonomy into chaos. Get people accustomed to sudden tectonic changes in society. Create an excuse to impose whatever societal design changes they want under the guise of "saving lives from this horror."
If that's correct, if that was the overall idea, then it's conceivable that covid was planned for a long time anyways. Hillary gets elected, she gets the global authoritarian globalism ball rolling, then something like covid comes along and they take drastic action to remake the world, all the while praising themselves for saving everybody. But Trump threw a wrench in the works by getting elected. So they alter their pandemic plans slightly, and use it to handicap Trump at the same time.
One point against that theory is that it would be difficult for them to play the narrative of covid being super horrible and also play the "Hillary saves the day" card at the same time. So maybe this wasn't a long time coming. Or maybe the plan was to engineer the disease to kill old people (wiping out a generally more conservative and whiter demographic) to get them out of the way while simultaneously using them as bodies to stand on and give them the "Save grandma" talking point.
This is all speculation, btw. Perfectly plausible, IMO, but difficult to prove.
If this has the "How would you like it?" attitude I suspect is meant, then it has had the opposite of the intended effect.
If this were real I would think it was fine, kinda silly, sorta neat. Pretty meager in terms of emotional response, and not really negative.
That's bullshit though. Not every identifying term is a derogatory slur. Besides, if anyone ever had an interest in erasing the negativity of some term, I can think of no better way than naming an NFL team after it.
I bet most people born after 1985 never imagined "redskin" as having any negative connotation whatsoever. But instead of allowing any racist tinge of it fade into historical obscurity, retards decided to inflate and exaggerate it. And why? Because being offended feels righteous? Because acting like a victim scores you points? Because you like it when people are easily controlled by words?
Fuck. All. That.
Kraken: Just the same dirt we all knew, but overhyped like it was going to be a bombshell.
EO: Was never going to happen. Too drastic.
Durham Report: Probably kneecapped by Barr, who turned out to be too much of a "lose honorably" cuckservative.
Bannon, Flynn: Probably proves that there was some plan in the works, but they got outplayed, outmanned, or betrayed.
Q: Always full of shit. Trust Sessions, trust the plan, water bottles, hand movements. Hallucinations and moving of goal posts. Decent larp, but never credible.
That's because the left decided they wanted to use prejudice. Hate the rich, hate white people, hate republicans, hate anyone who doesn't hate Trump. Knowing those facts is enough to hate somebody. Prejudice is very useful for them. But so is muh racism, so they just separated the two. Now they can be as prejudiced as they want and still slander people as racist (even though that by condoning prejudice they've lost any argument why racism is bad).
They may have retaken the Control Room, but what they still don't realize is that the Control Room isn't hooked up anymore. The people don't trust, respect, or like it. They are going to greedily stroke all their regained levers of power, only to realize that they are more powerless than ever.
Even though the conclusion is probably accurate, this kind of methodology isn't good evidence.
It relies on data modeling, which isn't science. Maybe the underlying assumptions are correct, maybe not. This kind of analysis can't answer that.
An interesting aspect of information wars is that you can't win without the loser's consent.
In physical conflicts, surrender isn't strictly necessary. Maybe they surrender, maybe not, but if you've truly won, their only alternative is death.
In an information war, there is no such outlet. Your opponent gives up or.... that's it. You can't win until that happens. The sole alternative is to turn it into a physical conflict so you can kill them.
"We have to shut down for two weeks so the healthcare system doesn't get overloaded."
"Okay. We did that. Can we come out now?"
"No! We're still seeing cases!"
"But is the healthcare system overloaded? If not, we can come out, right?"
"..."
"Look, there are plenty of ICU beds, no one has run out of ventilators, and the huge emergency hospitals we set up aren't even being used. So we're good on capacity, right?"
"Nuh-uh! The Hospitals! Looks at this nurse that says things are bad!"
"But hospitals complain about being busy during the flu every year. So that's pretty normal. And you still haven't said why we should be worried about capacity at this point."
"Shut up, though."
It’s almost like they can’t help but redpill themselves.
It's the natural result of confrontation from reality.
Acknowledge value of self defense.
Realize self defense is ultimately your responsibility.
Realize protecting oneself from external threats also necessitates self-sufficiency.
Work towards self-sufficiency.
Realize it is difficult.
Put great effort into improving yourself and your circumstances.
Observe that many well-meaning people provide obstacles to your success.
Succeed anyways, reap rewards.
Notice other people are envious of what you have.
Observe other people insisting they deserve some of what you have earned through blood, sweat, and tears.
Realize that they do not deserve what you honestly earned.
Notice that some other people have accrued what they have dishonestly.
Start to resent the corrupt.
Realize that the envious undeserving are only separated from the corrupt by success.
Decide that one's livelihood is worth defending with the same enthusiasm as defending one's life.
Wake up one day only to discover that you're a well-armed homesteader who hates mooching socialists and selfish tyrants.
"There's nothing suspicious about ballot adjudication, because the adjudicators are required to be unbiased and honest."
"There's no evidence that Russia hacked the DNC, but it seems like something they'd do so we know it's them."
Holy shit.
That post is amazing. "Be sure to inoculate yourself against hearing anything so that you don't leave our cult--I mean join their cult."
But the comments are just as incredible.
I agree with everything you said except for mandating reporting before posting here. I for one want nothing to do with law enforcement.
LOL. "Something needs to bee done about these people but I'm also so progressive that I hate law enforcement. What do?"
During my short time doxing ultra right wingers in parler, there were many times where I found myself identifying with and even feeling sorry for some of them just on a human level. I had to step back and remind myself that this is how indoctrination works.
Proud of doxxing and ashamed of non-de-humanization.... chef's kiss perfection.
If I began to feel like I'm losing a grip on my own sense of reality I'll speak to mother who are is very apolitical
Grammar lol.
On a more serious note, people who have threatened (and really anyone) should check out r/homedefense.
Please oh please tell me homedefense is filled with 2A Conservatives to accidentally redpill them.
Have they been watching old episodes of Supernatural? All I can think of is when the "seal" broke.
Oh my god. Consoom Tumblr's Favorite TV show is mixed in, too? This is hilarious.
Honestly I think we should be more aware of the kind of propaganda that appeals to a left wing mindset. Just becuse the other guys do it doesn't mean "our" side doesn't do it to.
Wait, is this some form of sanity? Nevermind, top reply:
You’re comparing racist fascism to...what? I’m trying to figure out what the “left” does that equates to racist fascism.
Propaganda: Literally "not bad when we do it."
I've long suffered under the judgement of others and actively tried to scrub myself of what I've been told is a tendency most of us hominids share.
Two possibilities here, mate. Either you're over-neurotic, which is your problem. Or deep down you know your behavior is actually shameful, which is also your problem.
Time to -delegitimize them. Maybe if their Visas and Mastercards stopped working...
Hey look! It's exactly the sort of totalitarianism that is feared by the right, and called "crazy conspiracy" by the left. Yeah, proving the Alt-Right right will surely show them a thing or two.
The only way to delegitimize them at this point would be to throw all of them into reeducation camps.
Hey look, another one!
Social media is basically a fascism machine. Reddit is the only platform that has made any effort to counteract it imho.
My sides.
I'd argue that journalists are professionals in handling stuff like this and we are not but I see your point.
My jaw just dropped so hard it hurt my toe.
Here's the kicker, most of us are not good judges of "ideas and things". That's how we got here.
Tee hee! More true than you know.
As a personal experience: A few years ago I had a close friend in college who was about as stereotypical of a "Tumblr Girl" you could ever imagine. She was a bisexual cosplayer with dyed hair that would occasionally wear cat ears or cosplay makeup out in public because she felt like it. She's now a sworn neo-Nazi who believes that gay people exist as a product of Jewish brain washing and advocates forcibly removing all racial minorities from Europe and the United States. If it can happen to her, it can happen to anyone.
Should I feel bad for laughing? Because I don't.
Nobody ever says "I used to visit ShitRedditSays but then the racist posts they were condemning started to sound really reasonable!" Neither is FuckTheAltRight or AgainstHateSubs a radicalization pipeline.
TheRightCantMeme is such a favorite of people on the right that most people suspect it's a front designed to dispense based redpills. The next poster calls out this guy for being totally wrong, though.
Okay I have to stop. I've realized two things from this, though:
- Their definition of "propaganda" is "people saying things I don't like."
- Their definition of "fascism" is "people thinking things I don't like."
It must be so frustrating to be in the media and realize that despite all your best efforts to manipulate the public, 74 million of them are more convinced than ever that you're totally full of shit.
Their egos, business models, and importance all hinge on their ability to dictate public opinion, and they're seeing that power turn to dust in their hands.
I see this response a lot, and it's hard for me to pinpoint what I don't like about it.
Maybe because it feels like willingly becoming controlled opposition. It means ceding power for the sake of something symbolic. Sacrificing freedom for the right to sit at the cool kids table. Staying with an abusive partner because we think the relationship is so important. Choosing not to escape the POW camp because not everyone will get out. Know what I mean?
Also, being "United" doesn't mean jack if the unity is fake. Majority or minority, the country is deeply divided. I don't see how stubbornly resisting that fact helps.
Plus, secession might well be the best strategy to save everybody. Send a message saying: "We're here. We're powerful. We're serious. We're not putting up with this. What are you going to do about it?" I don't know how the globalists react in that situation, but it'll be a more difficult position for them than if we stick around out of stubbornness.
Like Trump says, if you're not willing to walk away from the negotiation table, then you've already lost.
