I do like this, but I worry about the barrier for entry to exploit viewership falling.
If you and I wanted to create our own news agency, how much money and/or manpower is required?
Even if we went the James O’Keefe route, what are the resources required? I know a lot has been said about the prospect of if Trump isn’t sworn in, what he might do either forming his own media outlet or strengthening one that’s already around(I see Newsmax mentioned sometimes). I think there’s a lot of room for more than one Project Veritas.
But what Trump does or doesn’t do isn’t going to change what you and I should or shouldn’t do.
They're weakest with people who have children, work for a living and love their families.
Yes, that's what I'm trying to get at. We all need to do something.
Numbers of people .
They are loud
They are in influential positions
BUT
They are FEW
We need to ditch the installed propaganda they are many too many to defeat
They are small in number
That’s why they are afraid of our guns

Media and tech are the weakest. What can we do today to fight back?
Dump cable tv. If you are afraid of missing out, I have not had cable since 2007. Between FR and streaming news sites, I am able to stay informed. I am only missing out on the constant BS from the LEFTIST media.
Their coalition includes everything from black gangsters to Drag Queen Story Hour leaders. The groups under their "umbrella" hate each other more than anything - unless their attention is kept focused on an outside enemy. With Trump out of the way, that enemy will become "whiteness."
True for Mahatma Gandhi and his dealings with the Brits... true for blacks in the Jim Crow South...
NOT true today.
Protesting in the streets today is a psych oops 'rent a mob' action no different than the folks the Iranian government buys to support their positions ... no different than the state sanctioned parades in North Korea or the Brown-shirts breaking windows on Kristallnacht...Bought and exploited rent a mobs...
'Rent a mob' is NOT 'protesting...it's buying thugs to push an agenda... when a group runs ads to find 'protesters' it's a white trash 'elite' behind it.
You hit the nail on the head !
The left has far far more cohesion when it comes to seeking power then the right !
I’ve said this before the left as a tacit agreement among its factions ‘ no to little internal fighting while on the path to power the purity battle begins after they have power and the right is crushed!’. The conservatives do the opposite ! Conservative internal factions are fragile, these factions will fight for purity long before they’ll fight for power. Somehow they’ve convinced themselves that though now smaller in number because they’ve expelled the unclean this will automatically translate into majority votes.
My thought was indirect. It's not "Program" > "sidestep", it's "Program" > "reduced funding".
Here's an example. Adobe (Makers of Photoshop) gives massive amounts of money to democrats every year. Simply having Photoshop or not on your computer doesn't really change anything in/of itself. But defunding Adobe is the direct absolute equivalent of defunding democrats. That's what I meant. In most instances, a software purchase or subscription is a donation to the DNC.
But most importantly, and I'm going to bold this because it's the important point, It's something that one single individual or a very small team of 2-3 people could proactively accomplish, and with a very low barrier of entry cost. As a slightly side thought, improving an existing open source program might be the better way to go toward defunding these tech thugs.
So its said, I only threw this out there, I do think we can do better. How many of us are programmers? That in/of itself is a high barrier of entry. But considering most barriers, we could do worse for options.
And I'm not just advocating some boycott. Yes, this is a path to defunding Big Tech, but it's the proactive view of attacking their funding stream that can be pursued, actively pursued, every single day, that's the point.
I am not denegrating your post, I can see it’s value and why it was asked.
Progessivism is weakest in it political party blind trust.
It is completely exposed to all that the blind generational trust in the GOPe and Republican party to represent We the People has been devastating and it is only now that some are going through the various emotional reactions of finding out that the Uniparty by whatever name has been in charge of the systematic destruction of The People’s Country.
Weakness is a top down flow, you can start any place you like but a fish always rots at the Head.
Next weakness, Communication to the People that it is time to close and lay waste to that which has been party to past, and current premeditated actions to destroy our Constitutional Republic.
May not help, but I like to present top down facts first.
Deepest respects.
That is actionable... and it’d be easy to do...
With regard to Big Tech, I already threw out an option that was proactive beyond just boycotting.
I’m all for boycotts, but I recognize their limitations.
Asrrgghh...
Progessivism is weakest in it political party blind trust
Conservatism... Bloody brain..
Sorry
Survivability if an EMP hits
Ie...self sufficiency
If its a top down flow, shouldn’t the American Revolution have been a failure? If I misunderstand I apologize.
As to communication to the people, what more things can we do to increase communication? I mean as individuals. Something “you” can do, something “I” can do, not some nebulous “they”. Something from right there in your living room, or in your neighborhood.
Then why hasn’t it been done yet?
I’m really not trying to be provocative, so I apologize. Could you elaborate?
They are the strongest at promoting their people to places of power and authority in education, business, law, and government. They don’t have to have a majority in the population as long as they control a majority in key positions. By this means, payoffs in money and power can be made to keep people loyal. By this means, elections can be rigged, laws can be twisted in their favor, and courts can be used to cancel challenges to the results.
