Man, I've tried hard to like, or tolerate, 404 Media, but I think I have to give up. They cover topics I'm interested in, like digital privacy/security, but they are so biased it's unpalatable. https://www.404media.co/how-identity-literally-changes-wh… In this interview, they discuss research around how tribalism has created a social/political impasse, which I agree with. But, then, go on to argue that the solution is not changing hearts and minds through seeking understanding and exchange of ideas, but to shift everyone to their tribe, because they know the true truth. Such a lack of self-awareness and understanding of the real problem is disappointing. Their worldview is stuck in the us-vs-them paradigm; completely propagandized.

Civilians are the troops in a coldwar. Conscription through manufactured consent. 📝 9cf06ed0…

If the US Gov't can manipulate geo-economic factors with the intent of causing and directing civilian unrest towards political enemies with this level of effect, there's no way they could do something similar at home, even if they wanted to, right? Which, of course, they don't... This is a lesson. Every protest movement, past/ present/future, should be viewed through this lens. Statecraft f***ery knows no bounds. Civilians are disposable tools. 📝 67455473…

👀 Oof, the AI bots are watching, evaulating and providing public feedback on Nostr posts. This could have a broad effect on conversations, even if subtle or unconscious. Muting for "out of sight, out of mind".

Oof, what's the best way to deal with notes stating they want me to be "executed"? Ignore and mute? I guess being polite and using reason makes me a MAGA pedophile, now? #asknostr
