@tarheel @Kierkegaanks

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

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
