Conspiracy theorys, where do you stand?

Algorithms are a game none of us know we are playing.

Spencer Cox and others are saying things about social media we should all think about.

And a great question to ask yourself is “is this news source really news or are they trying to influence me”.

I have been taken in by misinformation over and over in the last few days only to find out later it was wrong. The real stuff is starting to come out, and some of it can safely be believed.

The stuff on twitter about Charlie Kirk is absolute bananas.

I got off Twitter last year after having such a hard time sorting out what was true. Same thing is kinda happening again on Substack.

Are they trying to influence you or are they just trying to get hits on their website?

Is there a such thing as a “good” democrat anymore? I wonder sometimes……

Of course there is. There are hard working, family oriented, God fearing, civic minded, gun owning Democrats who are just as patriotic as you think you are. They volunteer in their communities and raise kids right and all that stuff. Their political views are just left of center...whereas yours and mine are to the right. Don't fall into the trap that social media wants you to fall into in thinking that ALL Democrats are left wing nut jobs. I personally believe that couldn't be further from the truth. Similarly, everybody to the right isn't a Nazi...despite all the social media vitriol that would suggest otherwise.

Agree, all Democrats are not evil, BUT all Democrats in government, and ALL liberals are

I love real stuff. Whatcha got?

@Turkish Man, I am actually trying not to even think about this stuff. I want to know and yet its all so horrible.

Went for a boat ride today and tuned it all out. Keeping ot out as long as I can!

I’m not sure which is worse! And you’re right, its both.

 

[Bill Loser]

You didn't realize that you can't trust social media for your news? Who knew? Lol

 

[Maddog66]

I guess I’ll take your word for it westwing. I sure wish I saw all that ‘goodness’ more frequently.

 

[Maddog66]

Too many D’s don’t care.

 

[Maddog66]

Not good

 

[Catscratch]

Not good

I actually read up on that survey a little. Very disturbing, but it's apparent when you look at social media and the things said after an act of violence like the CK thing. Sad.

 

[Feelslikefar.]

I think they both feel the same way for the same reasons. It's just much easier for the one side to get to that place and feel those reason.

 

[Maddog66]

There has to come a point where those ‘good people’ (22%???)realize they’ve been brainwashed by evil. But is this it?

 

[Bill Loser]

That 77%is both surprising and saddening at the same time. Feel joy over the death of anyone is pure evil.
