It can't be a coincidence that everyone owning a smartphone with social media coincided with the meteoric rise of far-right movements across the world and it can't simply be explained by material conditions.

Economic downfall leads to more crime and more radical policies are a known fact.

You can blame it on social media, but social media like any other media, only spread more information.
We aren't being shut in by mainstream media/state media, because people can directly access all sort of information from people being directly impacted.

Globalist policies has been going on past non stop for a decade, a strong conservative movment was bound to happen sooner or later to so correction.
"People shouldn't be so extreme" or "they are getting wrong information" is not something your mind should go to, because you are begging for having even more gov controlled narrative.


To clarify: when I say "social media ban" I actually just mean social media that's organized by hidden algorithms.

I have nothing against internet forums, or how Facebook used to work before there was a general feed that displayed "suggested content" from people/organizations you didn't explicitly opt to follow. These algorithms are cooked with the explicit intent to spread anger, misinformation, and extremism.

I don't know why there must be some "correction" to "globalism", maybe define both of these terms and I can comment on it.

Anger isn't always a bad thing.


So it wouldn't be a bad thing if I said you had an undeveloped brain and whore mother?

It seems like valuable medical information. Why would you not be concerned about this information? Presumably because you already received it from other authoritative sources.

Disgusting behavior.

It’s only information. This is yet another example of right wing censorship of information.

I mean, I’m totally for social media regulation or bans. It is just strange to hold the belief that social media is the devil and controls people’s minds and use it, thinking you are somehow immune. Especially when they are owned and controlled by the people you consider the worst of the worst.


I find it more concerning that you can‘t really opt out of it. Maybe these companies used to work in isolation but they are all connected nowadays. It doesn‘t matter if you avoid using facebook, it will still get data from other services like google and build a profile on you.

Besides, it‘s hard to avoid using whatsapp since it‘s practicable.

The end result is that the US exports itself everywhere (and its core ideologies it needs at a given time).
Since you use it even when you don‘t, you might as well.

Well it still knows you, but its ability to influence you is much much lower if you don’t use it.

Theres a serious conversation about how and why young men fall down into the alt right>neo nazi pipeline to be had. Things are going to get much worse in the next economic collapse but young men these days are in a dire place. There is just so much hate and anger in them and society is not giving them any help in dealing with it. They get taught that they're the bad person and they don't understand why.


The problem is almost all social movements nowadays are about anti-establishment more than anything else.

You have all these pro Palestine with lgbtq+ and feminism group, Australia and many have these same group with pro Aboriginals group etc.

Men don't belong to minority and hence they don't get support from these well funded organized group.
What slogan can they feel comfortable to use?


Rofl, some men are assholes because they just don't have it hard enough in live and therefore they have zero lobby supporting their life structure. We should just give minorities and women less of a thought, so that assholes don't feel bad bout themselves.

The trade war with Canada continues. It appears Canada will retaliate "dollar for dollar".

Watching Trump more closely as these talks have gone on ... he's got smart phone neck. So does Carney, but not as bad. They look weird together with their heads stuck forward. The look like 2 ETs. LOL.
