I see this blame of various groups, of Harris of Democrats often one contradicting the other, but almost no one is acknowledging that we are in the middle of information warfare. We saw is effects in invasion of crimes in 2014, in brexit in 2016, trump election of the same year, across elections in Europe and still very little is done about it.

When some people were asked about why they voted for trump their answers were bizarre, out of touch with reality.

Today majority of people gets the news from social media which unlike traditional MSM is much more prone to be manipulated by foreign powers. Russia especially matters it, add their active measures developed during cold war work really well with current Internet.

Seriously though, he doesn’t look well. I was suspecting Vance will try to replace him, but that might even happen before inauguration.

Yes, but you should wait until you can hammer a nail with it.

I doubt people who are illegally would have a good credit line, and would imagine people who would hire them would not vote for this, although a lot of people are dumb. Saw an interview with a person who was here illegally and supported trump, he did not vote as despite the GQP rhethoric they can’t vote, but there are also Spanish people that can vote, have families that would be affected and still voted for him.

What they are promising cannot be done without skipping courts. Without courts even people that are here completely legally might end up being deported.

On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons From the 20th Century by Prof. Snyder is a book that everyone should read these days.

He made everyone think he did, what he cares about were the government subsidies.

BTW: I still see bots on various social networks promote him as some kind of genius, a lot of us got fooled.

Yeah, lol.

I was his fan at the time and at the reveal and it still looked like a joke to me. He also didn’t deliver on range and price.

The only people that got interested in it are those that wants to get attention, because the shape provides it. It doesn’t look like the car provides anything else.

I find it amazing seeing that his voters (at least ones that I know personally) now are telling me that economy is already better.

I was not really as excited about it, as I’m not as big fan of the horror genre (otherwise I like open world, Witcher 3 was favorite), but now thinking to purchase it, more for the support.

Not British, but this was a terrible move on Britain side and fell right into what Kremlin wanted:

(Notice that this book was published in 1997)

Cyber truck owners seem like the same people that previously were making fun of EVs.

Out of curiosity. What are you driving now?

Yeah, I feel Elonia and Ramaswamy are only there to divert attention to them, while the actual work will be done.

I was initially strongly in defense of it, but it now benefits corporations and almost no private users (as it originally was intended). So removing it probably would be a net benefit. Or maybe make it only applicable to private people and non profit.

The social media sites are known to collect vast information about us. The explanation is that it is meant for targeted ads, but the same information can be also used to know which buttons to press.

You scroll between funny videos and once in a while you get something that maybe will anger you, or maybe scare and in any way impact what you will do.

Just taking a recent example. To pro Palestinian people they received messages that Harris is bad for Palestine and we can show her and protest by not voting.

Meanwhile the same social media was telling pro Israeli people that they should not vote for Harris, because she is pro Palestine.

This is how they are getting desired outcome. And unlike MSM they can fine tune the message to specific category of people.

I would imagine most of those 400k users wouldn’t pay that much either.

This is why Elonia is asking trump to impose tariffs on Canada and Mexico. Other car manufacturers started biting into Tesla market share this year.

Yeah, I am so fucking disappointed in the results, I did everything I could, and that baboon still won.

I also at first wished Biden would do something, but I don’t see how that could be accomplished without resulting in civil war.

I mean unless there was some kind of fraud he actually even got a popular vote.

Where IMO Biden dropped the ball was:

• still ignoring social media. They are currently have more power than MSM with no responsibility that MSM would have for spreading false information (people still don’t understand that what they post on Facebook, Twitter and others doesn’t matter, because what others see is still controlled by the social media sites. Now with generative AI they can even generate content and then promote it. This is why those companies are interested so much in generative AI)
• waiting 2 years to start prosecution of trump’s crimes
