...that we're proper fucked?
currently, the google nudes "fact check" is currently all:
Fact check
* Does Pfizer's COVID-19 Vaccine Contain Aborted Fetal Cells?
* Covid-19 vaccination does not make MRI scans dangerous
* Few religions ban vaccination, but that counts little for religious exemptions
* Fox News host Will Cain falsely claims vaccine more dangerous for children than COVID-19
my brain translates:
1. religious scare tactics 2. sheer scientific ignorance 3. guidance on how to use religion to make an excuse
4. a certain news network deciding that, no, it has not done enough damage yet

we are in the first couple of chapters of corporate neo-feudalism - the fervently anti-union Amazon are making plans for victorian-era company towns where they get to exercise even more control on their workers and their families; there are plans for digital currency that has negative interest rates, meaning if you don't spend spend spend your money will depreciate.
But there's always someone online to hate, and there will always be enough peasants to suck the cocks of billionaires to make sure they'll get their way. We live in Hell.

Saw someone on Twitter from Bloomberg saying Amazon and Facebook should get a seat on the UN security council or something

reminds me of how the best way to spread a rumour is by constantly denying it. i dont feel i understand when media are deliberately abused, exceptions made, but i know that feeling to get a different vibe as to what the headline proclaims. its weird and the same headline can be regarded differently in the local context of a culture or person.
the news are a bit different than i thought though. i thought the anchors are merely the messenger reading their text provided, but i saw how those very people are studied journalists. they rely heavily on the few news agencies however and some times i had the same stories in marginally different texts in the evening news on different channels. but i still feel there is a chain of intelligent people providing lots of information which is then condensed by those people who you see on tv in germany.
in the local news its even more up to the anchors. my gf was on telly yesterday in the local news being asked about the digitilization of our city´s departments on the street. she said the person who interviewed her was also the anchorman/host of the show. and i guess its likely he also directed the whole coverage of this. it was a decent coverage explaining how the agency´s in my town still work in a postal or personal way, while our neighbour lets the people send applications over the net saving time and money. people dont have to take a day off to sit and wait for shit.

thats precisely the nightmare i saw in documentaries. i believe it can be avoided. but certainly in many communities it is bound to happen as it already has.
i wonder if anything like an uproar would rise in any of those communities that have been fuckend over legally. thinking of an angry mob just burning down the place.
violent outbreaks seem on the rise. even more sadly mostly by idiots.

journalists and talk hosts currently debate and lament about having to give corrective topics a stage. its annoying them and they are aware the rumor will be spread and general distrust will be sown.
i think its not healthy or clever to constantly guess how other people interprete headlines/news. or distrust any news. imo there lies a huge amount of paranoia in doing that per se. one time i got linked to alex jones and i instantly thought he was a lunatic as in the movie fletchers theories. i know from personal experience about mechanisms of paranoia and from a logical standpoint i would say that if there was that amount of deliberate desinformation then there ought to be a huge number of witnesses. did i really have to type that down or is this considered common sense to all?

you're probably referring to the streisand effect but it does seem to fit for complete lies, in addition to inconvenient facts.
there's a news article all over google recently, something like, "facebook banned me for life because i tried to help people use it less," and i thought: facebook rather streisanded itself there

didnt know there was a word for it, but it describes what i meant. the concept of this predates the streisand photo by at least 30 year though.
for example douglas adams wrote about it in the first of his dirk gently novels in 1987 and it´s likely he wasnt the first to notice. i love the way he described it though. he wrote how how dirk was falsely accused of being able to see the future because he did perfectly predict the contents of a test at school/uni and how he in a quirk henceforth benefited from it keeping on denying his secret powers. he really doesnt have any special powers. people who watched the show have been wondering, but his approach to finding the truth as a detective in the novels is just out of the box thinking and rather include the use of oracles/random behaviour to let the subconscious guide and can imo be better compared to the methods of twin peak´s successful detective cooper. but thats a whole different topic.
bottomline: the effect is quite strong and is likely being used occasionally by people to play the media like a violin.

Nah. It’s most probably an ancient inherited trait. Today it’s COVID or whatever, a while back it was the sky falling on our heads. Your clan getting ambushed, an asteroid. That pesky wolf.
