This is the first time I have EVER seen anyone suggest that memes won an election.unsung said:
Memes won an election, no? That is what I keep reading. Seems worthy of some respect if for nothing more than the power.PJ_Soul said:
Nobody said the people who fall for Russian bot memes or Trumpster memes are smart and unworthy of mocking. It's like you think people here need to respect Russian memes for them to work on people. But I understand why you think so. The memes seem to work on you.unsung said:I don't want to upset you.
Funny how some of you mock memes but then turn around and say that a handful of Russians influenced an election unfairly on social media. With memes. Geez, decide already.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -

The late 2000s produced the perfect storm for disinformation.my2hands said:Doesnt matter where it began, it's about where it is at now, and what can i do as a citizen to make it better, or at least not make it worse
And to be honest... this all feels like one big poltical cycle since 2008... and the first major "gaf" that i remembee is Obama about clinging to guns & religion... that was a broad brush and put off A LOT of people... and then of course Sarah Palin withnthe "real Americans" nonsense... of course the whackiness about Obamas heritage, intentions, socialism... everyone loved the smash hit, "Birth Certificate" lol... and of course HRC with her comment about Trump supporters being a basket of deplorables or something...
Yeah, more self reflection and less finger pointing are probably a good idea right now
-Technology makes it easier to send targeted messages to people with typically emotional evidence (aka pay per access to thought control)
-Citizens are comforted by uniformity of thought and appearance, and scared of non-uniformity. They work hard to not disprove their preconceived notions, and to actively disprove others' conflicting preconceived notions. They are also overwhelmed by their day-to-day and feel powerless on political plains (aka proud and mentally lazy civilians)
-Politicians and corporations are aligned in doing what's right for their short-term needs (aka selfish, short-sighted fiscal responsibility)
-Laws and processes are convoluted and subject to interpretation (aka ambiguous guiding documents open doors to exploitation)
People should point fingers all they want, as none of this matters any more.

What happened to 'I like him because he tells it like it is.'
So I guess Trump supporters find it okay when Trump tells it like it is but nobody else is allowed to. Because let's be honest, we've all seen the rallies, you really could categorise half of his supporters as deplorables. (Bad thing to say politically but completely true.)0 -

Thats kind of where i am at... just do what i can in my day to day... be kind... talk to strangers... hold thr door... smile... just be human and do what i can with my two hands to make the world a better place... im a fan of the small things, so im trying to focus on thatbenjs said:

I never talk to strangers and fuck holding the door open for anyone. Don't they know who I am? I aint got time for that. And if you smile too much, your face will freeze or they'll think you're goofy. Go big or go home. And stay there with the door locked and barricaded.HughFreakingDillon said:

I said they are either morons, assholes, or both. But that is based on my views about what kind of character it takes to vote for such a person. We can see with our own eyes what people are saying on these boards, showing that everyone here does not do what you're suddenly constantly saying we all do. Me calling you out for this does not exempt me from ever criticizing anyone ever again, especially not Trump voters, lol.my2hands said:

Halifax, find sonebody else to follow around and parrot, your schtick is tired, bro.Nobody is yelling.And no, "pointing out that the mainstream cable news exists for profit over informing and is toxic" is not even close to what I was saying is insulting. And I very much disagree that you haven't judged anyone.... You were doing it in this post right here.
