>you WILL give social media companies your time and money
Why? It's not even a good way for a beginning author to do marketing. Beginning authors need, at minimum, a website and an email newsletter. This connects an author directly to people who actively show interest, without risk of depending on social media. It's only worth branching into social media if you know that is where your audience hangs out. Trying to gain as many followers as possible on Twitter, Insta, Tiktok, YouTube... is pointless if they won't buy your book. You're better off spending that time and effort writing another book. Strategizing Amazon review shit is a chicken and egg problem. If you don't have interested readers, your first book isn't going to get reviews. So you need to do something to attract readers before your book is launched. There are ways to do that, but it's not the end of the world if your first book isn't an immediate success. Just keep writing more books.

That's not really true though, conservatives in government and big tech haven't moved to bar left wing people from social media/ employment/ academia the same way that the left has, it's not a symmetrical situation, and you know it isn't.

You can almost assume that reality is the opposite of left wing propaganda.

Like, 2020 saw a full year of massive riots, featuring old people getting beaten in the street with 2x4s, random assassinations, rioters trying to seal the doors of a police precint and burn the building down with cops inside, anarchist militias accidentally putting dozens of rounds into black kids.... but left think tanks publish that the majority of political violence for the year came from the right and it gets uncritically repeated in every major media.

They get those numbers by torturing the definition of what counts as political violence and counting everything they can find by allegedly right wing people. I.e. anarchist militias and rioters in black bloc with communist sloganeering aren't conclusively political, but an old man who yells at a BLM rally (and gets subsequently beaten by the crowd and then arrested) made rw terrorist threats

No dummy, you can't both sides this. The cops sometimes fought rioters, this literally isn't the same as rioters just beating random civilians who got caught in this mess, which we saw over and over again.

https://youtu.be/nkBOGamxIzs

Go look up Keese Love and see a group of BLM beating and robbing a pro blm white trans woman, then doing the same to the good Samaritan who tried to rescue them.

The night before Kyle Rittenhouse defended himself, rioters severely beat an old man and shattered his jaw, after spraying a fire extinguisher at people looting his burning store.

>>masked agents shot someone

Again no, literally it was the security at the autonomous zones in Seattle and Atlanta who both killed black kids. Weird how in a year hyperfixated on violence against black people actual insurrectionists putting dozens of rounds into cars full of black children on multiple occasions never became a big story

>> No.19604672

My guy, the status quo right now is to allow politically desirable violence (burning a downtown core and beating the chuds) by not providing a strong police resistance to it, and not making arrests or charges being dropped. Cities with Soros backed prosecutors have seen hundreds of rioters with charges never filed.

Conversely, unarmed laprping boomers who had doors opened by the cops are portrayed as insurrectionists who almost overthrew the government. The same people who wanted to defund the police, end prisons, and reform bail are suddenly ok with 1/6 people being held without bail and getting beaten in jail.

The status quo is to create whole cloth a narrative of out of control white supremacist violence because people chanted with tiki torches 5 years ago. But when black people repeatedly murder white people with explicit racial motivations, the narrative is that these are tragedies and accidents that shouldn't be politicized, like Waukesha.

Leftists do this thing where they are experiencing full spectrum dominance and act like we're on the verge of a fascist takeover.

What an incredibly bold lie: "conservatives in government and big tech haven't moved to bar left wing people from social media/ employment/ academia the same way that the left has,"

The Conservatives in the Federal Government of the United States of America under the Trump Administration scrubbed all references to global warming from all government websites, removed Covid dashboards and references from websites and publications and charged their administrators with crimes, prosecuted whistleblowers and spied on and attacked journalists, used social media to track and then kidnap BLM and Antifa protestors, buried statistical information required by law or stopped collecting it altogether. …

I could go on, but the bottom line is that you are a liar. Liars don’t deserve a voice or a job or anything. We will find the liars, and put your names up on websites so that people won’t do business with you.
Then we will fill your jobs with immigrants, who are honest.

The real redpill is that the riots, Rittenhouse, Chauvin, Jan. 6, etc were hoaxes, entirely fabricated at Langley. There are tens of thousands, maybe more, of employees and actors getting paid to pull off mass media stunts to psychologically manipulate not just American citizens but obviously the entire world. Everything is a movie. It's not just false flag shootings; that's the tip of the damn iceberg. Even local crimes are often faked. Not all scientific research is fake but a lot of the big stuff is (Stephen Hawking, for example), and all modern art is a money-laundering scam (funny, people are accepting this now ONLY because the elites have replaced the scam with bitcoin/NFT). There are no honest politicians. Many of the people running things are part of the same bloodlines running back thousands of years to Phoenicia. John F Kennedy faked his own death and ran the country as part of an underground oligarchy with the Rockefellers, DuPonts, Morgans, Chases, Stanleys, etc. It was a purposefully similar circumstance with Lincoln's fake death (hence the strange coincidences people talk about). The American and French Revolutions were fake, too.

left and right are so imbued with personal meaning they've become meaningless, or at least completely relative.
Is the idea of bodily autonomy left or right?
If its the termination of a pregnancy, then its left
If its a forced vaccination, then its right
No ideological consistency, just opposition.
The very nature of the Left/Right divide is opposition.
So much so that if one side adopts a position the other side reflexively adopts its opposite.
But opposition is the nature of a republic, and without that their would be tyranny.
Left/Right can be colloquially useful when discussing congressmen or members of parliament in relation to each other, but its not comparable between ages or countries and claiming it as some banner or identity that you claim to understand the true nature of just makes you look retarded.

Mainstream yokels for the most part still unconsciously nod and accept that Rothko and Pollock are masters, for example. They don't like the art, no one really does; they may tell others they do to keep appearances, and the really sad ones search for some way of coming to like them, but no one does. Most people hear about the banana being taped to a wall and say
>that's stupid but funny, haha
without ever scrutinizing the details of who made it, who bought it, why, how much, who brokered it, what are their past records, what is their genealogical relationship, and oh! would you look at that, they happen to be part of the British peerage. Funny, huh?
>Wall Street made it obvious in fucking 1987
First of all, this is a movie. Films are all about hypnotism at this point. Normal people don't actually pay any attention, they just see pretty actors and actresses saying words and get swept up in emotions. That scene doesn't have a soundtrack to lead you on, at least. But most people won't hear

and ever consider money-laundering, as in hiding the profits of dirty, illegal money from drugs, sex trafficking, embezzlement, coups, etc. Most people have no clue that the US government (and most world governments) are synonymous, one and the same with the Mafia, with pirates, with the Vikings, with Phoenicians, with the Sea People, etc. It's all the same plundering, being done by CIA, highwaymen, (((red)))beard, you name it.

This is a lie though because dozens of people were charged in the Floyd rioting and protests. I challenge you to find evidence this was not the case.

Its ironic a retard like you would make a statement like this, and then go on admonishing the opposition for not being harder on BLM protests. Trump was president, retard, he could have sent in the national guard he wanted to, and prosecuted these people federally. He did not.
>The status quo
Please don't act like you're against the status quo. Trump increased the size of the government, exploded the deficit and debt, and renew Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. In fact, the defunding of the police actually came from Republicans - they voted against the American Rescue Plan which explicitly gave funds to police departments.

Not who you're replying to, but I've seen someone fired for advocating for accelerationism (which I can almost get behind by virtue of the iron rule of oligarchy reaching its inevitable conclusion in western democracies).
In case you were wondering, advocating for total social collapse doesn't bode well with management when you're working in the financial sector. (At least not out loud. You can profit off usury from war-funding though).
