Last RT - if you want to know why the only department at your newspaper that hasn't been slashed is the Tech reporters, that's why.

They are transforming our media and propaganda environment into something that more closely resembles marketing - and you're gonna say "US media was always marketing our way of life" but that's not what I mean. They are simply selling you tech products. A in pocket tech reporter makes them money, a foreign policy correspondent teaches you revolution is possible

(Also, this war in Iran, that again we started for no reason, is the first time I've actually SEEN the effects of the billionaire Epstein class deleting foreign bureaus on the news environment. We are DAYS behind the war in Iran - I have to get my news from MENA websites because we have nobody there and thus the only stories we can report are what Pete Deus Vault Kegsbreath said because the reporters are in Washington. The US media is a joke now - even moreso than it always has been)

@AnarchoNinaWrites

LOL

U.S. media a joke?
German media: Hold our beer! 🍿

Over here they even try to portray Trump's threat of annihilation as mere word play and question whether a cease fire plan ever existed in order to disguise Trump's utter failure to enforce it on Israel.

That's publicly-funded media, btw, and I can't really express how disgusting all their boot licking of the fascist U.S. regime has become.

@GNUmatic @AnarchoNinaWrites In comparison, in TV3 (a local publicly funded channel of spain) they were openly mocking trump, explaining what TACO means and trying to find a similar wordplay in Catalan. 😆

@nekoplanet

Vive la France! ✊

Oh! Wait! What would it be for Spain, again?

Anyway... I envyed you for having the CNT and stuff like Mondragón already. Cool stuff! 👍

@AnarchoNinaWrites

@GNUmatic @AnarchoNinaWrites In this particular case... Visca Catalunya!

@GNUmatic @AnarchoNinaWrites Same here in Austria, and thus many ppl here think Trump is just "crazy" and "dumb" and "how can he be so naive".

It is very very uncool to live here these days

@GNUmatic @AnarchoNinaWrites I mean, we have had authoritarian history not so far in the past how can ppl just not see the pattern?

@MeerderWoerter

You know the answer. You wouldn't be here if you didn't. None of us likes it, but...

Fascism never went away. It just lost, those losers had to stfu for a while, got supressed to some extent and they're now having a comeback, because we never got rid of it's roots, i.e. capitalism.

@AnarchoNinaWrites

@GNUmatic @AnarchoNinaWrites Oh definitely. I just wish ppl who are definitely on the political-left spectrum would also all clearly see it
@GNUmatic @AnarchoNinaWrites German media is literally just propaganda at this point. I threw out my TV over a decade ago to stop being indoctrinated by them.
I refuse to consume ANY german media. My sources are exclusively independent reporters and commentators.

@stefanie

Turned a follower into a block today who brought it up by posting a link that made my toenails crumple. Surely she was furious when I explained how it was all just nuts, because of...
[ checks notes ]
“trustworthy, professional experts against me as the random internet dude“
I mean - fair enough - except for the sad reality that they're just lying to her. But not everyone is lucky enough not to even blink when it's written in English, getting much closer to relevant sources, so here we are. You're welcome! 🍿

@AnarchoNinaWrites

@GNUmatic @AnarchoNinaWrites how can these people be brought back to reality? I think that is the most important thing if we want any hope for humanity.
How can we destroy the bubbles of lies, the artificial realities that these people live in?

@stefanie

No worries! It's mostly boomers who are still hooked to linear TV and hence traditional media. That will sort itself out soon enough. I'm more worried about later generations getting their News from bot farms, flooding 'em with memes and fascist AI clips, or from folks on Corp. media sites selling ponzi shemes while they influence 'em with other shit just to get rich and famous.

@AnarchoNinaWrites

@GNUmatic @AnarchoNinaWrites you already went wrong at: "no worries".
This is the main thing to be worried about! We are loosing a shared reality. How can we agree on anything, if we can't even agree on what's real anymore? How can we find solutions to problems, if we can't even agree on if the problem is real?
This is "divide et impera" on hyper-steroids.

Everything else is meaningless, if we can't even agree on physical reality anymore!

@stefanie

You're missing the point. Surely it's a problem we should be worried about, but instead of trying to convince the elderly how whatever they ever knew might be wrong and just getting worse (good luck trying!), we should rather focus on the vastly different media landscape all the later generations are living in - which is a problem of vastly different proportions and hugely underrated.

Some, like Supertanskiii from the UK for instance, are already screaming for regulation of shady money flowing into online media campaigns, but few pay any attention to the devastating effects we're already seeing on the streets when Nigel Farage asks his buddy Elon to rally the slime of the UK against migrants in order to torch their homes - with Starmer basically doing fuck all about it. And it happens everywhere these days.

@AnarchoNinaWrites

@GNUmatic @AnarchoNinaWrites you are right in that the online lie-factories are even worse.
And you are right that it's almost impossible to wake them up.
How can we destroy the lie factory?

@stefanie

Yeah. That's the tricky bit, but you can treat yourself to a bit of the most hilarious stuff out there, laugh your ass off while you do and still grasp the sheer gravity of the problem by casually binging some of Supertanskiii's finest straight from her porn - sorry! - mourn hub... 😇

(Again - she's fucking *SCREAMING* for regulation, but dumb ears, business as usual, freedom of hate speech, markets will regulate itself, posh people in posh clubs laughing their asses off as they torch the world and watch it burn - we all know the drill, don't we...)

Political commentary and satire. I’m just a girl, standing in front of Westminster, wishing it’d burn down. I started making content in the midst of the pandemic. Working from home and living alone I went sideways and channeled that into rinsing Tories on TikTok. Turns out people liked it. A lot. Then, shit kinda got out of hand and here I am. I’ll always give you the truth and always roast politicians. You have my word (mostly the c word). If you hate the far right, you’ll love me.

@AnarchoNinaWrites, it doesn’t get better, does it? Germany goes all in on genocide and war support?

I emailed every party the other week about their stance on Israeli and US violence, and only one party got back to me—the FDP of all, trying to excuse Israel. That is my intelligent, pacifist home country that learned from their genocide.
