The IMF does take US taxpayer money and then hand it to a bunch of globalists (French a lot of them) who use our money to achieve goals beneficial to them (usually to our detriment). For example, the IMF could turn to a country in some financial need at the time (which may even be the fault of the friends of the IMF) and say "here's a bunch of money we took from american workers - you can have it to solve your problem if you just agree to a few of our terms (and then they'll list a bunch of terms that benefit themselves and do nothing for americans where the money came, in fact, it often hurts us too)".
But they don't simply take all the taxpayer money and then give some back to the IRS.
The IMF is a disgrace, and the IRS has become heavily politicized and ever since obama been used as a political weapon by the deep state....
... that being said, this is simply not how it works.
The system is as every bit as disturbing as you think it is, but the methodology inaccurate.
This is an outdated meme. I talk to people from all over the spectrum about tech giant control and censorship.
Actually no one uses this argument. There are really three reactions.
Those who are only democrats because they watch the news media and orange man bad tend to have this reaction: "I'm really afraid of the power these companies have over us... something should be done about it, but what can you do?"
Hardcore SJW types tend to have this reaction: "They don't censor enough, I want even more censorship."
Trump supporters actually tend to have the more positive reaction, because we see the problem, but actually tend to be more optimistic that it can be overcome.
Agreed, seems like at this point a couple comments in to an older thread, we probably are preaching to the choir (each other) in terms of people with some experience so I won't belabor the point too much... so I'll leave it saying "Indeed."
If the capitol protest entry to the capitol was a planned situation (the amount of known antifa there seems to indicate it was), the tech censorship purge is not a reaction at all, its actually the cash-in of the hard work they did.
That being said, it does feel like a bit of an overstep, they aren't winning hearts and minds with it. Lets pray they aren't past the point of needing to.
Coordinated attacks from the army that has been directed onto this site.
How did people used to get reddit votes upvoted quickly?
How would a group dedicated to attack us do it here?
Everyone has to get a crash course in distinguishing genuine accounts from well meaning people from subversive accounts, sock puppet accounts, and other accounts used in information attacks.
Also, as a final note, what would an attack group do after you got your posts seeded with upvotes, and commented on with sock puppets? They would make posts talking about how "we're slipping guys".
The financial system as-constructed strikes again. A tangential but related example:
Many parents are, this second, handing their retirement money to money managers that demand the companies that receive their investment institute strict discrimination against giving jobs and skills to white males, especially those of christian religious backgrounds. Of course the executes of these companies are happy to comply, and are, generally, in on the wink in any case.
And then the parents wonder why its more difficult for their sons to find a job.
You're getting pushback because you're telling people who believe that votes don't matter to just get back to voting.
But the fact that this site is now being manipulated quite a bit over the last few weeks in the fog of war we are all in is kind of unquestionable. Remember when the news articles came out that some former general was heading up a group using military grade cyber-psychological tools in the fight against Trump on the internet? The news media celebrated it like it was some great thing, even though it basically means weaponized military agitprop against the populace...
I don't think its a coincidence that sometime after that this site and others went from forums that almost entirely followed Trumps lead unwaveringly, to suddenly seeing lots of comments, upvotes, etc of people wanting to go in all sorts of other directions that there wasn't a clear sign Trump was leading us towards. People's rightful anger at having the election so brazenly stolen was the psychological fog of war that allowed this tactic to go less noticed than it usually did.
There are literally no rumors except the ones the FBI is trying to desperately spread.
