[@charlottehammond8975]

omg cory doctorow! yay!!! i had no idea he wrote nonfiction. awesome.

[@danhugo]

Decisive? Hmm, it was quite close (~2.5M votes between 1 and 2, minority of total ballots cast went to the winner, more people did not vote for the winner than did… the Couch needs to not be a candidate in the future). But yes, the electorate and the world are always different, and more so now more than ever (we will say that again in 2 and 4 and 6 years…)

[@utubemewatch]

Here goes-I suppose I’ll assume you seek & appreciate truth, apologies if this is too long. You’re making a statistical argument that deliberately ignores the context & subtext of the actual election & its electorate . Had anyone told you Trump would win the misnomered “popular vote” by even 1 vote in 2022, you’d laugh, deny the very possibility of such an outcome, every media “expert” would echo your assertion. This wasn’t just a loss for Democrats though, this was the destruction of the establishment Republican Part as well and uniparty establishment as a whole. And still, the democrats had a big advantage simply because the census was improperly applied to the electoral college-Cali, New York, Illinois and 1 thee blue state should have lost more votes than they did. This will be corrected and that means republicans can win POTUS without WINNING a single rust-belt state. The democrats became the party of the corrupt establishment, which metastasized when they sabotaged Bernie Sanders, twice through undemocratic corporatist slimy rules changes in the DNC. The GOP didn’t do this to stop Trump but did try to destroy Trump for 8+ years. They lost, he won. The dems were the dominant party after 2008 and they abused it, squandered it-they stood for everything they claimed to battle against-they created a broad coalition tethered only through propaganda & lies & subversion (fear & disgust) and their own mendacious & rapacious corruptocrats ripped asunder those tethers (Ukraine, Israel, law-fare against UHURU socialists, suspending policies that helped average people because they were Trump policies/EO’s, & corruptly funding an illegal invasion that flooded low income & urban areas and gave those illegals cash, food, housing & transportation for free, while they ignored their own long-term minority constituents, etc. the demographic shift of this election is a massive story and none of these new Trump voters will ever vote Democrat again without a real & substantive reason to do so. Smart analysts and pollsters saw this shift 18 months ago & detailed it w/ great specificity - “inside the numbers” w/ Barnes & Baris from june (around that timeframe) you’ll hear the entire story of our election before it occurred. And 6ish weeks prior to Nov 5, Barnes predicted the electoral college, popular vote & number of votes w/ incredible accuracy (over 300 electoral votes, >76 million for Trump, & ~153 million total). Democrats detached totally from average Americans and pursued destructive and insane policies and just lied about them. They got away with all of it (except the Afghanistan failure) until 2023 when things got so bad that truth couldn’t be hidden. Inflation wasn’t transitory, Biden wasn’t cogent and sharp, everything they said about Ukraines a lie, they’re getting owned by Israel & BiBi because they’re cowardly, weak & stand for nothing, the only job growth is new government jobs as private sector falters, the few private sector jobs go to illegals & legal immigrants, they’ve crushed small business & entrepreneurship, people can’t afford insurance anymore, they lied about covid & did worse than Trump despite having a vax the entire time, they funded & organized a border invasion & broke the laws in he process, they lost 300-500k children that are used as child labor or exploited in other horrific ways, we’re becoming demographically top heavy w/ too few young people, workforce participation rate plummets, our military is demoralized and they can’t recruit , our fundamental rights are under attack by the government through use of NGO’s & nonprofits, and law-fare is everywhere and used against anyone who speaks out against the corrupt regime & democrat elite, & everyone reasonable saw the Trump cases were political law-fare & it humanized Trump, it gave many a reason to listen to him once again-which allowed them to learn media lied constantly about Trump, and then Trump endured, fought back, we saw his policies were better, remembered his admin l & compared it to Biden/Harris, they tried to assassinate him at least twice, they made him a patriotic martyr fighting for America who could just lay golf & live it up-but he fights for America-democrats allowed that to happen. THE MOST ACCURATE POLLSTER (top 3 for sure) RASMUSSEN REPORTS SHOWED REPEATEDLY THAT A PLURALITY OF AMERICANS THINK THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IS THE GREATEST THREAT TO THE COUNTRY - not republicans, not china, Iran, Russia, domestic extremists. They also showed this election never changed, Harris always trailed & media pollsters deceived and lied to all of us to manufacture an outcome, wag the dog, and hype up ratings and support for Harris. And establishment republicans are not any better, they’re just more irrelevant. Or they were more irrelevant. Now, today, the Biden/Harris/Obama party is totally irrelevant and their legacy is destroyed, especially Obama’s.

Doctorrow appears to have missed the fact that Standard Oil's division Bosses who JD had hired, remained as directors of the Chevron, Texaco, Union type Oil Companies that were set up to replace the flow of Oil? The appearance of the Rockefeller Bros in the era from WW2 until they appointed Jamie Diamon to head their Family bank, were still powerful. Nelson became a Vice President who could issue decrees that told American Citizens that the CIA would never spy on Domestic affairs. David was able to visit the White House frequently, so the Standard Oil Trust was never actually banished to Comic Book History. Doug Bourgum seems to be loitering around Refineries to get a Energy Job in the new corrup Cabinet. The Oil Companies have expanded some North Dakota roads to enable the flow of Oil. That is an essential form of one hand washing the other with Oil. But not a word about Robert Mercer who installed Trump in 2016 after being involved in BREXIT? The absence of Mercer in 2020 insured his elevation to Big Kahuna status in the recent election. Steve Bannon's Gamers apparently have been like Flying Monkees in everybody's internet feed. This guy completely neglects that influence? The involvement of Mercer's Marketing methods and directed marketing were a boost to the guys who own Controlling Interest in Vote Counting Machinery. The Appearance of Media keeping away from Edwin R Murrow investigations, won the election, they expect good return on investment. I tend to suspect Gubmnt Propaganda from that form of discussion????

[@JavierBonillaC]

Listen to "Tne Reckoning" by Sam Harris. That pretty much explains it as clear as you are going to get it.

[@loninappleton]

10:19 Tristan Harris comes to mind immediatlely on this and a documentary someplace interviewing the Prodigal Tech bros cashing out-- Harris made a lot of hay on the mea culpa side of Persuasion technology. Up until this time stamp I really never had heard anyone address the issue.

My appeal to every Muslim, my brother or sister, the owner of the channel, I know that it is not my right to comment on your channel, but God is my witness that our circumstances are harsh and forced me to do this. Please forgive me. My brother, there is still a brotherhood of faith. I asked you for a bag of flour. My brother, we women cannot go out among men. There is still a woman with you. My brother, God has honored you. You are men. We are women. We cannot go out or work like you. My brother, where is the brotherhood of faith in your hearts? We are women. There is no brotherhood, no mercy, no compassion, no humanity. And give good tidings to the patient. It is the greatest hope while waiting for what we want. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' How many times I called and talked and tried hard, but no one responded. Oh man, we are with you. My mother ordered us food from the restaurant. More and today. My mother left. Crying. She said, Why are you crying, my mother? She said, My daughter, I ask. God, that I may be honored by death. She said, Why, my mother. She cursed us. She said, "My daughter, today the restaurant owner insulted me. I said, 'Why?' I said, 'How can I be better than people?' I ask God, my daughter. May God gather me. With death alone, a gathering that is better than this humiliation and this humiliation. It is true. I am saying this. It diminishes my value and respect. But, man. I swear to God that I did not say this. I kiss your boots. I am so hungry that my conscience no longer allows me to let you go and ask us for food. I kiss your boots, man, and I ask you by God Almighty and in the Book of God, man, I kiss your boots, man. He has caused us harm, my brother, so that we can buy a kilo of flour and pay the rent. My brother, have mercy on us. He who is in the show will have mercy on you, He who is in the sky. My brother, this is my WhatsApp number: 00967717126434. Whoever can help us, message me on WhatsApp. We will send him the full name. He will transfer us as much as he can. May Allah reward you. Allah knows that my family and I, our house rent is 15 thousand Yemeni riyals per month, and now we owe 45 thousand for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of those people who do not have mercy. By Allah, my brother, he comes every day and humiliates us and talks about us and wants to throw us out of the house and into the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. We will have until the end of the week, and if we pay him, he will swear by Allah that he will throw us out into the street without mercy. See my situation for yourselves. I ask you by Allah, the Living, the Eternal, to help me. By Allah, the Almighty, even at night we cannot sleep from fear. We do not have mattresses or blankets to warm ourselves from the cold. Everything is flooded from the rain, and we have no one but Allah and then you. My brothers, I kiss your boots, don’t turn me away empty-handed. Help us with whatever you can. Is it acceptable to you that we live in this place? We are girls and we have no one. Our father died in a car accident. Consider us your daughters and your honor, and help me with whatever you can. May God reward you with good =>[[}>] ^][//*&;;&;&&;•̥·-`.`.`.`.`.•.,¸-•.,¸°꒰·̮ •̥·°`.`.`.`.`.,.•¯,.•¯}:;:;:;;::;;::;;::;;::;;»»;::::::;::;;::;::;::;;::;:--:;;:;;;;::;😢😢......»»

I thought the right hated big tech what gives?

[@QQuestionEverythingg]

Big tech backs both sides, the coming technocratic authoritarian state is a bipartisan push. They keep people distracted by arguing about guns and abortions while both parties support biometric ID's, nationwide surveillance, and AI monitoring and tracking everything you do(precrime). The future is looking pretty dark unless people realize that we're being played.

I've been subscribed to you guys for so long but I never see your videos in my feed.

[@traviscutler9912]

The loss of Chris Hedges from your show Is why I no longer listen or even tune in, regardless of the subject matter. It's not even that I think you guys are doing bad work or dishonest work. It's just that I know that there's a number of people reporting with similar points of view and with a limited amount of time & money, I now know that when push comes to shove, TRNN abandoned one of the most credible, courageous, respected and credentialed voices of our time without any explanation whatsoever?!?! Generally, that speaks of cowardice, because if there's any reason that was a legitimate one, even if it was uncomfortable but necessary for a larger purpose, it could be argued in public. However, you did it quietly and let's be honest, if you did it for reasons of political expediency because he was upsetting the exact type of people WE NEED TO UPSET, it means investing anything into your institution is worthless because the moment it becomes relevant, you will sell that person out because it's in your interest to do so. That is not the type of journalism I'm interested in and I'm deeply disappointed in TRNN. If you had the least amount of respect for a man who's risked his life for decades to bring REAL news, You would at least have the decency to explain why you unceremoniously dropped him from TRNN. Name names and explain what losing the most credible journalist of our time's reporting gained TRNN, it's supporters BUT MOST OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO FORCED CHRIS HEDGES OUT IN THE FIRST PLACE?!?!?!? When the brown shirts come marching in for you, just remember that you sold out your most voracious and unyielding defender of the working class & probably the only person who'd have risked his life to report about yours. You have SO much to answer for........ The system works.

[@traviscutler9912]

P.S. No disrespect to this author, I'm sure he's wonderful, but the idea that you've replaced one of the most critical journalists who's been to every War recently & seen and has covered everything from the New York Times to Sarajevo to the middle East to Ukraine and Beyond is quite sad. If the main issue was how fiction authors could contribute to the rise of authoritarianism after I heard an hour of someone who actually fought it up close. I'd be a whole lot more interested.......
