    This is naive. Russia has been waging psychological warfare on us for literally decades. They are open about this. They’ve written books about it. It is LITERALLY Russian military doctrine.

    I am NOT advocating for marching on Moscow. But to ignore the psychological warfare that was amplified by, yes willing conspirators which does indicate we DO have a root problem here too, is to ignore the circumstances that brought us here.

    We are only here because of the combination of old-school crazies in the Heritage Foundation controlling Fox News/trad. media and our 4chan billionaires pushing all sorts of propaganda from the depths of the internet & 4chan, which is pretty much all Russian/chinese/iranian propaganda aimed at destabilizing trust within the west.

    Sure people are stupid and like conspiracies — but the conspiracy sphere is EXACTLY a target of Russian propaganda because the user base already distrusts the government and they’re a user base that’s willing to push their beliefs onto others if you can convince them… see QANON. Qanon has deep ties to both Russia AND to the tech bros, namely Thiel and Musk.

    This is only possible because of the MARRIAGE OF THESE IDEAS. They are equally to blame. We are at war with Russia as much as we are at war with our own traitorous billionaires.

    Yes, I know - but the revolution is happening because people are angry and they believe the system is broken.

    I’m all for a short return to normalcy if actual change follows.

    If actual change does not follow, I promise you we will be right back in this position before you know it.

    I completely agree that what’s coming is worse. But if you don’t have a plan, the ensuing chaos is EXACTLY what Silicon Valley is hoping for so they can grab power. They have said it out loud.

    No one said that. As the others pointed out, I’m saying have a plan.

    The go-to example is the French Revolution. There was no plan for after they eliminated the “bad guys,” and they ended up executing mostly non-rich folk. Saw a stat elsewhere that it may have been as few as 20% of victims were the rich.

    Do we really want 80% of the people hurt by a revolution to be the common folk? If that’s what you wanted you might as well stick with the current status quo. You’re getting it.

    I’m not going to argue further with you as the others have already done so well enough. I am only saying: have a plan, or things very well could go even worse

    Yes, revealing the truth that we’ve been under attack from Russia - by their own admission - is “repeating all the same mistakes.” A criminal Mafia State that literally told us they would do this 🙄

    Everyone knows that some of this tension was preexisting. Civil rights was only in the 60s. But, as it has been made clear, Russia actively abused those tensions.

    Your continued attacks (and deletion of previous comment) really just highlight that you are not coming at this with the intent to actually engage. It is more gaslighting, lies and attacks is the face of facts.

    It is boring, overdone, and quite simply, annoying. If you’re not actively propaganda, then there is 0 reason for you to be attacking me this way.
