And then folks like you and me will get The Call to come back and design/test/evaluate/produce countermeasures on some kind of sillya$$ schedule, with specs written by fools.
(Maybe this time the ALCU and MSM won't be roadblocking everything in court and/or styling us as "warmongers, etc, etc". /jk -----And maybe this time I'll just get the family back in Redoubt and go to war with the whole damn bunch of 'em instead.)
Well, don’t be coy. Teach.
The heck, folks. You gotta better idea?
Great. Tell me. Or quitcherbitxhen.
On the lighter brighter side conservatives are use to crooked polls that tell us we're failing failing failing... all the way up until a few days before the election (because they don't want to lose total credibility) so they give numbers closer to the truth. If social media people throw away their integrity - people will catch on - and they'll be ignored. Kind of like the New York Times today ...
However, at some point, all those mixed up packets have to exit that network to get to your target destination. That happens at an exit node.
Anyone can operate an exit node.
Let that sink in. Anyone. Including the government, which probably operates more exit nodes than anyone.
Once all those packets arrive at an exit node, they are reassembled to be sent on to the target. That is where they can be examined for target and source (they have to know how to return to your computer).
Anyone operating an exit node can spy on all the traffic going through it.
“The marxist social media overlords are concerned with numbers, and they have the numbers.”
In 2016, republicans controlled 35 states, while rats controlled 11 states. How did that happen if “they have the numbers?”
There’s a difference between “republicans and democrats” and social media. Social media has the numbers.
“Social media has the numbers.”
As a counterbalance, conservatives own radio. And radio is in every house and vehicle. Social media isn’t.
Compared to Facebook, Google, IG, Tinder, etc, they are less than the margin of error.
“Compared to Facebook, Google, IG, Tinder, etc, they are less than the margin of error.”
Are you kidding me? Anyone who logs onto social media is considered user.
I can play the same game: anyone who turns on a radio, listens to Rush.
When I said "Compared to Facebook, Google, IG, Tinder, etc, they are less than the margin of error", the "they" I am talking about is talk radio.
Social media has virtually everyone's information. Talk radio can try to persuade, but they do not have the data sources that social media has.
I’m probably not clear either.
Around the world, radios outnumber computers 10,000 to 1. As a citizen in this world, you are more likely to meet Rush on a radio than you are Facebook on a computer.
Do continue. This conversation is interesting.
Okay , what’s the fix?
I thought “Metalhead” was maybe the best episode of all 5 seasons. The only knock on this episode is that it is basically the same plot as “Terminator”.
We still have about 5 more episodes to go. We have not watched them in order. I will also watch some again.
“Nosedive” , “Be right Back” and “Hang the DJ” are also my favorites.
We just watched “Hated in the Nation” and “Playtest” last night.
“Crocodile” is probably the darkest episode.
OK. Here's how I am perceiving the conversation so far:
robel made a comment in post #30, saying "The marxist social media overlords are concerned with numbers, and they have the numbers." and you replied with Post #46, 'In 2016, republicans controlled 35 states, while rats controlled 11 states. How did that happen if “they have the numbers?”'
At this point, I noticed a disconnect--robel was talking about social media, and you replied with political parties. I was just trying to fix that disconnect.
"Social media" as we know it--Facebook, Instagram, Tinder, etc.--is huge around the world, but it's pervasive here in the States. Most people pay more attention to their social media accounts than they ever will to the radio. This has a couple of effects:
Social media is a form of slavery. Slavery of the mind where they will tell you what to think and--more importantly--what *not* to think. They are removing vocabulary from daily use, which makes censoring thought that much easier. Even FR is a light version of this. We have trained ourselves to read short posts, and respond in a certain way--because any thought that goes against the forum rules usually gets removed or the user banned. I'm not just talking about decorum, either.
We really are entering the world of 1984. The details may be different, but the goal and methods are basically the same. Part of the outcome will be very Idiocracy-like, where even gov't officials (out "leaders") will be idiots. The real power will be those who run these companies, and the very few that run those people.
“the number of radios actually tuned to talk radio here in the States is minescule—especially compared to the number of eyes on “social media.”
You’re trying to equate talk radio to social media - that’s apples to oranges and doesn’t work.
The largest topics that people talk about on social media would include women, children, family, recipes, pets and celebrities. Politics wouldn’t even make the top 25.
To get an accurate measure between talk radio and social media would require including only social media politics. Now social media politics would be a miniscule number.
We’re immersed in politics here, but believing that social media is comprised of politics is way off the mark.
