     @lain There’s always a reasonable middle ground. Politics here are so divided, probably due to… social media.

     @alex @lain Ultimately it, like the majority of problems in modern life, is due to the mainstream media and news's dereliction of its duty to the truth and to society, creating an epistemological crisis that might actually end the current world order. It may seem like social media made it worst, but all it did was expose that the media were rotten through and through, much more than we've ever known before, something that was hard to notice when they controlled and filtered mass communication inside a population.

     @lain For like 6 months I was like “haha yeah right CUCKservatives, lmao trust the science”

     Then I got the vaccine. Then it kept going and going and going with no end in sight… And now I think maybe they were right all along.

     @alex i think it's very sensible to be careful, to get the vaccine if you want, to try to reduce contacts and whatever. what's not sensible is to constantly be in "YOU'RE KILLING GRANDMA oh sorry didn't notice you're eating a snickers' mode.

     @alex how people can live through situations like these and not notice that this is a totalitarian police state system is beyond me. "yeah this is a super deadly pandemic UNLESS you have a small coffee ready to sip"

     @guizzy @alex @lain don't really see the difference?, between "fox news" and "everyone else"; seems they're all doing same stuff with different audiences, which includes both "what you want to hear" and "how i can make more money by getting you to hurt yourself in a way that helps others", with the occasional "hello, i'm from the government"

     @shmibs @alex @lain Whoever the orders come from, there is a relationship between the journalist and the viewer, expected trust is being betrayed.And very clearly, it's not being betrayed for money. Demonstrably so: if it were the case they'd tell lies that their audience wants to hear and become popular (like Fox News) and not lies against them or encouraging them to tear one another apart (like everyone else). Lying for profit is a benign evil compared to the poison in today's media.

     @shmibs @alex @lain The difference is in the result, Fox News dominates ratings.Everyone else keeps dropping in viewership, yet they don't course correct to say the same things Fox News says. Indicates to me that money is not the driver here, power and/or ideology is.

     @lain @guizzy read when you mentioned last time but it's getting kinda fuzzy ????maybe going extinct because niche partitioning though? had big trimp-is-a-bad ratings boost for a while there was relying on, right?
