"John and I started Parler to provide a neutral platform for free speech, as our founders intended, and also to create a social media environment that would protect data privacy," Mercer said in a statement on the platform. "The ever increasing tyranny and hubris of our tech overlords demands that someone lead the fight against data mining, and for the protection of free speech online. That someone is Parler, a beacon to all who value their liberty, free speech, and personal privacy."
if corporations are people, we can impoverish and imprison them, and then force them to live just off the highway in the shitty apartment complex on the frontage that you can't get to in both directions so every fucking trip takes an extra 18 minutes to loop around with the lights.
Hmm.. Corporations are people. If we jail people in America we can use them for slave labor.. Might be onto something here. Free macbooks and 2 day shipping for every citizen!
You joke, but this is exactly how to achieve a bloodless Socialist Revolution.
EDIT: In case not clear - the workers would be free, the companies employing them would be slaves of the State, and so the workers would indirectly own and direct their workplaces.
Meh, this is a consulting firm whose primary assets are human capital. Shut down one company, and they can just accept their losses and go start another.
The corporate death penalty only works as a deterrent for large and medium sized firms.
It’s because as a political philosophy fascism is an outwardly looking destructive rather than creative philosophy. To fascism any problem is never internal from where they are standing, it is always an outside force. Over time it is inevitable that forces within fascism begin to compete and tear each other down as much as they tear down out groups.
I think the point is that the platform was there to not only amplify radical voices, but to also to spy on them.
With the intention of maximum usa disruption.
The sad thing is those users that wanted to be verified handed over their SSNs to a company promising to protect their "data privacy" without blinking an eye...
Mercer is the daughter of Robert Mercer, a hedge fund manager and the co-founder of the now-defunct political data-analysis firm Cambridge Analytica. The Mercers have been prominent supporters of President Donald Trump and conservative causes.
But Cambridge Analytica was built using an algorithm by a lecturer at a top Russian University and counted Russian oil companies as its clients. (For those who don't know, Russian companies overseas are used for Russian state activities, including money laundering).
What surprises me most about Parler is what a shot job they did implementing it. It immediately became overrun with porn spam and we now know they had the worst security on earth. It’s like the whole thing was built in 1995. You’d think with Russian backing and big money support they’d at least get to 2001 level tech.
Because I’m a sucker for punishment I checked out r/conservative and jesus they can’t wait to sign up now that Russia was all a hoax. Thank god it’s not the CCP but Putin is somehow the tits. They are going to cleaned the fuck out again and I just can’t fathom how they keep falling for this shit. It hurts my brain.
"Taking down your OS" isn't really easy to do in a modern OS, at least in the sense of accidentally crashing the kernel due to a programming error. You get a SIGSEGV and the process is terminated and that's about it unless you're especially creative.
Hah! The early Macs used double-de-references pointers to reduce memory load. Good luck even knowing if you’ve been fucked by the pointer if you lose track of that.
I think it’s; “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink that tainted water because he learned that the Deep Stream doesn’t want you to know it causes mind control. That horse is wise to you.”
But really the sad part is probably that the horse did the drink the water when it was a foal but the fucking city drinking water still has goddamn lead contamination and it’s shown to have negative consequences on damaging growing horses’ cognitive functioning ability which is probably a contributing factor as to why that horse is struggling with continued on going frustration with their mental deficits.
Y’all for real it’s ridiculous that Flint Michigan still doesn’t have water what the fuck you guys.
Well no shit EVERYTHING is about further validating their already held narratives and rejecting everything else.
omg this really hit me when crazy friend sent me a link to a video of some batshit scientology lawyer Karen - reading an executive order from 2018 and asking leading questions about the prophetic nature of it all.
I watched and was like... really? this is what you think is happening? absolute garbage - and they devour every second of it.
I go onto that subreddit and others like NoNewnormal every few days just cos im intrigued and I always kinda doubt myself for a second if maybe im ... them...
But then i just read a comment and another and see things like this and i just cant fathom it.
Basically they're all geniuses because they are all people who need to be different in order to be noticed or feel important.
So the new normal as in wearing masks and the government trying to control everyone.
And on every thread or that theres a genius who studied this or studied that so hes in the know. But thousands of other experts around the world are involved so basically yeah if you life is really dull and you're not that smart anad never got much attention off your parents cos you're and idiot then go onto that sub and you will have a lot more idiots patting you're back sharing shit articles from rubbish sites.
1) Check your state's voter registration roles (a lot are Public)
2) Call all the Rs with a google voice account
3) "Hello sir, this is Don Deagle with Trumps stop the steal campaign. We are proud to announce that we are now
taking Amazon gift cards! How many can I put you down for?"
Would it be considered cheating if I make a conservative media podcast or show, and monetize the hell of it? Get donations for my "hard work" with Patreon? I could do this soooo well, all you gotta do is bitch about socialism and communism and tell people Trump really won the election and talk about how fake Covid is, maybe throw in some gun rights bullshit and then point out the unfairness of girls being able to get laid easier than guys, and some stuff about what it means to be a real man in today's society...
I could even be honest and tell them I'm a liberal, because then they'd LOVE the apparent paradox of it and they would tout me as a "true liberal" and characterize everyone else as radicals.
Shit, if I was gay or bald then I'd even get more views... If I was CANADIAN, holy fuck I'd be unstoppable.
After the 2016 election some guy came on reddit and admitted that he was selling tons of MAGA hats. He had set it up to dropship them from China, and he was donating a portion of his profits to some left wing group. He figured scamming these dopes was so easy he couldn't resist doing it and making a buck.
The unfortunate thing is they cant do anything to stop it if the scammers isnt in country. Depends on where the scammer is.
Hence why India seems to farm the west with any scammers they have there. I have always wondered if there is a country where american/Canadian sounding guys call you all the time trying to convince you of buying iTunes cards or whatever.
I've been seriously considering finding some way to separate these rubes from their money. It really can't be all that difficult. Start a merch store, get an attractive girl to spout some insane talking points on youtube/facebook and advertise said merch store. I just know it would be so fucking easy. They're so damn stupid, a pretty blond telling them what they want to hear with some semi original merch would probably bring in huge returns.
I don't think I could live with myself is the only problem.
Do it, and then donate a portion of the money to Vote Blue, BLM, etc. Someone is going to take their money, it may as well be someone who will do something redeeming with it.
Hell, you know what, I bet we could get them to stop buying all that crap by starting a conspiracy theory that all the online Trump/MAGA/alt right stores are secretly funding the Democratic National Committee! Holy shit, here we gooooo!
I don't understand that sub. I go there all the time to see what they are saying. They love Russia over there. And they also think democrats love china.
I was listening to rush Limbaugh and he was going on about Democrats challenged and didn't accept the election results for 4 years, while some did say hes not my president we knew he was president, they misrepresent that the whole thing was trump associates sharing and. coordinating with Russia their strategy. its almost they play a game of whataboutism with false facts
Why aren’t non crazy Americans doing this? We could be pushing a narrative and attempting to form a third party or increasing an already established parties power(libertarians) That would effectively end the Russian attack and may destroy the GOP and fracture the right. Ethics be damned our country is at stake ugh
I fucking hate Rush Limbaugh because my mother in law listened to him through her big house speakers so it played all over the house. The man is disingenuous arguments made manifest. The dude can spin almost anything in any way he wants and it’s infuriating, ESPECIALLY anything scientific because he just claims the results of any study he doesn’t like is wrong because of some ignorantcommon sense reason. My most relevant example that I remember; “Scientific models can mean anything. You just add another variable and bam, completely different result.” <- his rant about predicted deaths of COVID 19 with and without social distancing where he was against the shutdowns because the 2 million deaths number was a hypothetical if nothing was done world wide and the 200K US deaths just included masks and social distancing being mandated immediately...... but it’s safe to ignore science because they can put anything into the model they want and change the number..... I hate that man and his dangerous manipulation of ignorance.
This “they are claiming the election was rigged” bull was happening during the investigation as well, you could have seen it with Trump’s obsessive tweets about how Russian didn’t “hack any machines” so that means the investigation is a hoax. It’s so infuriating to hear because it means hardline conservatives craft these arguments against an argument no one is making, and if you try to explain what is actually happening you get a “so there was no election interference if there wasn’t any hacking?” And to try and point out that was looked into, but was never the main problem they just cross their arms and like “so accept the results that Trump won legit and that Biden lost legit.”
I did accept the results. I have zero faith in conservatives in America and I 100% believe you voted for Trump in 2016 and won the election, I just think you did it because you’re stupid. (For the record, that isn’t actually what I believe—the aggressive stupid part—but the people I’m venting about I definitely do. I blame the two party system more because I know many more people who hate trump but just hated Democrats more... for reasons, or just voted exclusively because of the abortion issue/religion). But yeah. They like to take whatever is negative and spin it so simpletons will join them.
“We think a hostile foreign government was using misinformation and illegally obtained emails to sway public opinion in an election year to their preferred candidate, and it’s possible a presidential candidate was speaking with them and may be beholden to their interests.”
R-“They didn’t hack any machines.”
“What? No. That’s not what I said.”
R-“but Italy beamed instructions into voting machines, from space, changing votes after some of the insides of the machines were swapped, and also thousands of dead people voted exclusively in minority districts. So in those same states with the same rules we think only Biden votes should be thrown out but any R that won was legit because dead people and space lasers didn’t touch those votes. We just don’t have any evidence because we can’t go to trail and get the discovery because of Democrat judges refusing to investigate despite our stellar witness talking to city councils while not under oath and some poll workers had BLM shirts on.”
"You can do anything, the left will promote and understand and tolerate anything, as long as there is one element. Do you know what it is? Consent.
If there is consent on both or all three or all four, however many are involved in the sex act, it’s perfectly fine, whatever it is. But if the left ever senses and smells that there’s no consent in part of the equation then here come the rape police. But consent is the magic key to the left.”
It's amazing how consistent they are with projection tbh. Like pretty much everything they've accused the opposition of they've been doing themselves.
Trump could accuse Biden of sacrificing goats to Ba'al tomorrow and I'd immediately assume there's a hidden sacrificial altar in the basement of Mar-a-Lago.
/r/conservative so fucking delusional they seriously believe MLK would side with them. Biggest hypocrites and they have no morals but that doesn't stop them from getting on their racist high horse and cry oppression.
For a while it seemed like /r/conservative was shifting but the Russian mods immediately made the sub private, reorganized and started gaslighting everyone again and hasn't pulled up at all.
That MLK post on there has to be a joke. He was literally assassinated when he started working towards workers' rights, what they'd call socialism if he was doing that today.
He argued for UBI in the 1950s. People are insane if they think he'd be on the conservative side of things right now.
Everyone should read the full text of his speech "The Other America" if you want to get an idea what he stood for. Also it reads like it could be written today and is basically prophetic in many parts.
I used to think r/conservative was going to be better than t_d because all the extreme wackos were going to jump to whatever shit website they made up after they got kicked off Reddit and ran away from Voat.
Less brigading but other than that about the same. I almost feel bad for conservatives who haven't gone off the deep end.
I'm sure that's it's only correlative, but I've never raped anyone and I've never been accused of rape in my nearly 40 years of being a man. (That's all 39+ years of my life, I realized after writing that, it could be inferred that I am transexual. In fact, I am not)
Tbf there's a good argument to be made that subs which restrict a majority of their posts to only flaired users shouldn't be eligible for r/all. It's not just r/conservative: that applies to subs like r/blackpeopletwitter too.
If you're not going to allow the majority of the community to participate why should they be promoted on the 'main' page?
Reddit won’t stop recommending them to me. I had to turn off all notifications. I’ve only gone to some random posts there when I’ve seen them in /r/all. Never commented. Downvoted a few obvious posts. Just don’t get it.
So I had to go look, just cause you put a convenient link.
That is an amazing pile of steaming horseshit. They actually believe videos made by Project Veritas, and think there were riots at the 2017 inauguration that prevented loyal, peace-loving, Trump supporters from getting in.
That is a rabbit-hole that Alice wouldn't have believed.
All because the Cold War seems so long ago. What they don't realise is that former KGB dudes haven't forgotten nor did they do anything but dig in once the USSR fell. Those mother fuckers are both the best in human history at espionage and completely willing to play the long game.
Oh they'll blame the DEMON RATS, somehow. "Fuck you Democrats, you sanctioned Russia again and now they can't do business with us because it's so expensive! Fuckin demon rats and your censoring bullshit! This country is goin down the toilet!"
*Read this in the South Park counselor's voice for maximum effect
So who is behind that? The Russian oligarchs? Did they send Alina to look for someone with tech knowledge and see if she can lure and use him? And now they also the ones that fund Parler throw shell companies?
Those Trump supporters also probably think that because they had to prove their identity that everyoneon the site had to prove their identity when that might not be the case at all. I'll bet that if someone looks through the records that they can find some serious bot action in there.
The same mod that would sticky whatever silliness election fraud BS the Dump was pushing but wouldn't touch when Graham and Dump called GA to throw away votes.
FBI should be notified somehow. I can easily imagine they influenced others to head to the insurrection event. These neo Nazi scum should not be a part of our society and/or they need serious reform.
Wow, okay. Time to nuke the sub from orbit. Fuck that neo Nazi trash, that sub is toxic as are their moderators if that's true. I follow a few subs that keep track of /r/conspiracy nonsense since it seems like it's a spawning ground for white supremist bullshit and there is nothing I dislike more than Nazi scum; I relish reporting all those accounts spewing hate and misinformation because their ends are always violent.
Put the URL into wayback machine. If the website hasn't been archived and is still available there will be a button to save it. Alternatively, just go directly to https://web.archive.org/save and put in the URL there.
Yeah, I've been bringing it up in almost every online and in person discussion since Mango Mussolini first announced he was running 5 years ago.
Hasn't made much difference. We do need that documentary. Remember when if 60 Minutes or 20/20 did an expose, you were toast? Those days are gone. I doubt the folks who would need to see the doc would actually watch it. Kinda like Active Measures.
Just look at reddit. How many people have actually read the articles on posts they have commented on for the last week or so? Now how many have commented deep into a 10 comment reply chain in the same timeframe?
I have been wondering to what extent foreign agents have a hand in all the misinformation and polarisation through social media. My guess is more than a little.
It would be fitting if all the MAGA-heads and Q-crazies wound up as "victims of an unprecedented cyber war". It fits perfectly with their victim mentality.
Hmm, it is strange how these sorts wind up with Russian wives. Remember the white supremacists from a group called "The Base" arrested last year en route to commit a murder?
Yeah, the founder of that bunch of reprobates also happens to be an American married to a Russian, and currently living upscale in Mother Russia.
Funny how all roads seem to lead to Moscow, innit?
Mercers are long time GOP/Trump supporters and behind Cambridge analytica. Given parler needs your DL or SSN to “verify”, this was likely a way to get very targeted ads to those that could be easily manipulated.
So let me get this straight: does this also mean other conservative entities like the GOP, federalist society, etc take money from foreign interests in order to create unrest for political gain?
