I also think it is a tool being used to help push out whatever content the person using it wants.
It may be seen in the history books as akin to the Industrial Revolution.
The Industrial Revolution, sometimes divided into the First Industrial Revolution and Second Industrial Revolution, was a period of global transition of the human economy towards more widespread, efficient and stable manufacturing processes that succeeded the Agricultural Revolution. Beginning in Great Britain, the Industrial Revolution spread to continental Europe and the United States, from around 1760 to about 1820–1840. This transition included going from hand production methods to machines; new chemical manufacturing and iron production processes; the increasing use of water power and steam power; the development of machine tools; and the rise of the mechanised factory system. Output greatly increased, and the result was an unprecedented rise in population and the rate of population growth. The textile industry was the first to use modern production methods, and textiles became the dominant industry in terms of employment, value of output, and capital invested.
I think it is the future of media and content sharing for those that can afford it or know how to use it.
It is just another tool being used to create the content you desire.
Improvements are needed, but I have seen really well-done ones where a general introductory topic is discussed.
I think what shifted was the increased identity politics and culture war talks within corporate media and politicians, so as to push more tribalism within the working class.
Instead of continuing the Occupy Wall Street protests, where it is the 99% versus the 1% (the owner class versus the working class), we continue to be divided by the establishment and the duopoly, so as to distract from addressing working-class struggles where most Americans agree on when we are polled.
People can come to the same conclusions without being “Putin puppets” or Russian bots.
Just learning about our military leaks on our forever wars would make many question the United States role in mass murder and the continued funding and bombing of civilians so as to bring regime change wars and “democracy” to the Middle East.
Direct discussion with Glenn Greenwald and The Vanguard: https://lemmy.world/post/23147215
In this clip from our new interview with Glenn Greenwald, we discuss our differences of perspectives concerning the Libs of Tik Tok account and the Trans Rights movement.
Edit2: format, wording; quotes added
“The ultimate test of a society’s freedom is not how it treats its good, obedient, compliant citizens; it’s how it treats its dissidents.” - Glenn Greenwald
Greenwald is one of those people some thought was about good things, like privacy and freedom, but turns out he’s like elon in his freeze peach absolutism.
You compared Glenn Greenwald to Elon Musk on freedom of speech…
That is already enough to know that you do not watch his reporting directly; you just read or watch one side of the corporate media talking points when it comes to Glenn Greenwald.
FYI:
Glenn Edward Greenwald is an American journalist, author, and former lawyer. In 1996, Greenwald founded a law firm concentrating on First Amendment litigation. He began blogging on national security issues in October 2005, when he was becoming increasingly concerned with what he viewed as attacks on civil liberties by the George W. Bush administration in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks. He became a vocal critic of the Iraq War and has maintained a critical position of American foreign policy. Greenwald started contributing to Salon in 2007, and to The Guardian in 2012. In June 2013, while at The Guardian, he began publishing a series of reports detailing previously unknown information about American and British global surveillance programs based on classified documents provided by Edward Snowden. His work contributed to The Guardian’s 2014 Pulitzer Prize win and he was among a group of three reporters who won the 2013 George Polk Award.
Cool.
Thanks for your thoughts on the topic at hand!
On the day of the incident, the officer driving the police car deliberately ran the cow over twice — allegedly to end her attempt to escape a short life of misery on a farm. A video of the police attack circulated on social media, and it showed the escaped cow being hit once, trying to stand up and flee, and being hit a second time with her head becoming trapped under the vehicle. Surrey Police announced the driver involved had been removed from frontline duties pending the investigation, but now that he has been cleared, he will resume such duties.
A police spokesperson told the BBC, “While footage of the incident was distressing in nature, those involved in the incident acted within their duties, and the tactics adopted were both lawful and necessary to prevent harm to the public and property. As such, no further action will be taken in either the criminal investigation or the internal misconduct matter.”
The 10-month-old calf, later named Beau Lucy, survived the incident and remains at a farm with her herd. This means that she will most likely be killed in a slaughterhouse with the other cows.
Interesting; most of the ones I have seen are portraying Mangione as Luigi from Nintendo.
My attempt using deepai:
Oh, you reminded me to check out Yanis Varoufakis’s latest videos!
He talks of imperialism and the differences between China and the USA.

“I do apologize for any strife or trauma, but it had to be done,” the Ivy League graduate reportedly wrote in a manifesto admitting to killing UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson. “These parasites had it coming.”
Luigi Mangione—the 26-year-old man arrested in Pennsylvania Monday on gun charges and suspected of last week’s assassination of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson—was carrying a manifesto condemning insurance industry greed, police said after his apprehension.
New York Police Department (NYPD) Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said Mangione was in possession of a 9mm handgun—possibly a ghost gun made with numerous parts or a 3D printer—the type used to kill Thompson, as well as a silencer and what he described as an anti-corporate manifesto.
Three bullet casings were inscribed with the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose”—a phrase commonly used by critics to describe insurance industry tactics to avoid paying patient claims. UnitedHealth, the nation’s biggest private insurer, is notorious for denying more claims than any other insurance company.
Mangione’s social media posts run the gamut from praising the opinions of right-wing figures like Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson to leaving positive reviews on Goodreads for books including Dr. Seuss’ cautionary environmental tale The Lorax and the manifesto of Theodore Kaczynski—better known as the Unabomber.
“He had the balls to recognize that peaceful protest has gotten us absolutely nowhere and at the end of the day, he’s probably right,” Mangione controversially opined of Kaczynski, whom he called “an extreme political revolutionary.”
“When all other forms of communication fail, violence is necessary to survive,” he asserted.
Apologetics and celebrity worshippers: people that defend politicians instead of being critical and forcing them to bend to the will of the working class.

“The FBI is aware of the offensive and racist text messages sent to individuals around the country and is in contact with the Justice Department and other federal authorities on the matter,” the FBI said on Thursday.

Brian Hughes, of the Trump campaign, told NBC that they would take legal action “if we can find the origin of these messages which promote this kind of ugliness in our name.
“President Trump built a diverse and broad coalition of support, with voters of all races and backgrounds,” he said in a statement to NBC. “The result was a landslide victory for his commonsense mandate for change. This will result in a second term that is beneficial to every working man and woman in our nation.”

It seems to just help divide the working class and to continue to increase tribalism.
You do you!
True!
I wonder if the numbers will have an impactful change when comparing the people that said they would move out of the U.S. due to 2016/2020/2024.
It is important to escape our self-built echo chambers. Many independent journalists and commentators spoke of an increase in minority support for Trump and Harris not reaching the Biden numbers.
We must focus on building up a grassroots movement that is for the working class and moving away from the duopoly.
Stay hopeful!
The working class voted as expected; no need to talk down to people that don’t vote how you want them to.
I think it is better to continue to talk with people with diverse ideas different from ours and look at where we may agree.
That is why it is important to escape self-built echo chambers. Many independent journalists and commentators spoke about the increased support Trump was getting from minorities and the disdain people had for Kamala Harris.
I am looking forward to how third parties performed and to see if more people become anti-genocide or anti-war.
State polling showed they were really close in these ten swing states, so no surprise.
Our economy, our proxy wars that we are funding, and shifts in political views for some due to all these conflicts might have something to do with this.
Harris was not that popular in her presidential run in 2020 as well.
The data will be interesting when it is compared to 2016/2020/2024; I wonder if voter turnout increased or decreased!
A quick search, and I was able to find a couple of AI sites that can create songs.
