it's always been #bigots everywhere in large numbers
#plutocrat #socialMedia amplifies it, gooses it, celebrates it
one of the avenues we can fight back: get a new social media like #Mastodon to replace corporate centralized cesspits of trolls and #hate (i know, a big ask. one can dream)
to be clear: the root problem is #bigotry, not #technology
but bigotry is a much larger problem
so win the social media battle
and use that to further the much larger war on bigotry
@FranceskaMann @ohmu @Kierkegaanks
certainly
#plutocracy amplifies #hate on the right and #alienation on the left on purpose
the problem is we live in a #democracy (if we can keep it) so the average person matters. their choice to #vote #maga, or not vote matters
and the reasons they don't vote or vote maga is the #plutocrat influence machine, yes
but *why* does that influence work?
#socialMedia and #media #psyop work because hate and alienation is organic
we need to fight that too
@Osteopenia_Powers @Kierkegaanks
#trump, the whole #plutocrat sludge factory, confuses being rich with being right
the problem is, so do tens of millions of middle class and poor #americans
the #conservative mind operates on #fear
overactive amygdala
it crowds out the prefrontal cortex: reason
#plutocrat #rightWing #media and #socialMedia amplifies the imbalance on purpose
pushing lies that goose the fear, #ignorance and #hate, capturing their minds, addicting them, controlling them
as suitably brainwashed zombies, programmed like robots, they dutifully and enthusiastically go to #vote
while the #left is not so engaged
this is our problem
"Deep wisdom of the cosmos:
What is the purpose of the #USA in the world now?"
"Dear demoralized #Left #American:
The job of your country now is to serve as a horrifying and disgusting example to #democracies in the world about what to avoid: the #plutocrat-#bigot #political axis"
https://www.axios.com/2025/03/05/trump-tariffs-canada-liberal-party
But it only effects "the poors" so the #plutocrat class doesn't care
And plenty of poor people support #Trump and will blame the #Democrats. Because that's what some troll on #socialMedia tells them
The stupid and the evil are killing us all
Welcome.
It's not perfect here.
Nowhere is.
You'll find many others here in #sanctuary like yourself, and myself.
Together we can take #Mastodon beyond mere sanctuary and grow to kill #centralized #plutocrat #socialMedia.
I know, I know.
One can dream.
I need this dream. Many of us do.
We'll dream together.
Mastodon is the best way to keep up with what's happening.
