I would say listen to and learn from as many sources as you can.
Some great United States journalists have worked with RT. Until it got censored, as many platforms are doing with the help of the oligarchy and their political lackeys. I have communities for some.
Western propaganda is well and all, but we must work harder to understand the bigger picture by also searching for non-Western propaganda and sources.
Independent journalists and commentators can be found on many platforms; I have made communities for a few.
It is true that corporately tied and backed sources and people are increasing as MSM influence decreases; they start funding people in naturally ‘independent’ areas.
We must always be critical of all governments and politicians.
We must work hard to seek out views that we do not agree with so as to not stay in our self-built echo chambers and our self-censorship.

Do you see Mark Zuckerberg and Peter Thiel as part of the oligarchy?
Is calling them out on what they do being a shill? I think it would be the opposite of a shill.
Glenn has already proven himself with his record and investigative journalism, especially his work with Edward Snowden.
fascist oligarch shill
I am not sure these words have any meaning when they continue to be used so loosely.
We may not agree with him 100% on all topics, but I don’t think there are people you can agree with 100%, unless you are an apologetic or celebrity worshipper and you just blindly follow people.
I see the topic he discusses here as important, and it is directly tied into technology, with Mark and Thiel being the direct tie.
I am interested in learning about the criticism of the analysis and arguments Glenn has made that you disagree with.
Feel free to post people that have brought these topics up as well.
Topics discussed are “transhumanism, AI, and the potential dangers of unchecked billionaire influence.”
A generated summary is included so people understand the basics of what the video is about.
I am not sure how to make it easier for people to understand, sorry.
The people Glenn discusses are part of the oligarchy of the United States; they have great power and influence.
Meta and Palantir are a big part of the United States and companies that collect private data on the populace.
Here you go:
Peter Thiel | German-American entrepreneur and venture capitalist (born 1967)

This post seems to affect you personally, maybe due to the topics it discusses…
All is well; we all get highly emotional on certain topics.
Peace!
All is well; no need to force ourselves unless we want to, hahaha.
Camping is cool, but it is a hassle, and you need to prep and plan ahead to have an enjoyable experience if it has been a while since you have gone camping.
Vacations need planning, or it can also be just a last-minute thing, but be prepared to go with the flow of an adventure, hahaha.
True.
We all have our preferred independent propaganda sources in addition to mainstream media (oligarchy-owned) propaganda.
It is important for us to also check out independent journalists and commentators.
Reading and watching the status quo sources and the dissident sources can help us see the bigger picture, even more when we can also check out non-Western regime propaganda.

It might be his go-to response when he is listening and learning from the speaker; Professor Richard Wolff does have a way with words!
It seems he said it three times on this video, hahaha:

Immortal Technique is Peruvian. He is talking about Africa and Peru in this song
Tech’s “I’m from where … ” concept is modeled off of Jay-Z’s song “Where I’m From”. Tech removes any reasonable doubt that this is just a coincidence with at least two additional Jay-Z references.[1]

Just out of curiosity, what’s the preferred place to link to with songs on here?
YT links, but post what you prefer!
The Fumes were playing their first gig in years earlier in the year, but it was in Northern NSW at a local pub and about 250km each way for me. I regret not going to the gig, but I don’t regret not driving that far for it.
Wow. You might have to plan it as a mini-vacation trip so as to enjoy the event if the occasion arises or until they have a gig closer to your area.
Some bands are very limited in their tours, so if possible, we have to go to their closest gig.
Nice, thanks for sharing it with us!
Oh, they have a song called Jazz.

Unfortunately, I’ve no confidence in the truth or value of anything produced by Glenn Greenwald.
All is well.
Peace.
That is a big factor; back pain sucks! You would need extra support to enjoy the trip!
Damn, that does make it difficult!
