The internet has turned into a toxic sewer
Where to even begin.....I wrote a few years ago that the internet, which has all the world's information and factual data easily available with a mere click of a mouse has done more harm to mankind in the last 10 years than anything else.
The early internet years were a boon for advancing man's quest for free flowing information, and it was clean slate... provable lies were not prevalent, misinformation wasn't the norm, it was rare, yes, the corporate sector spun and twisted online, but writers, readers and content producers were not able to blatantly lie and gain traction, or viciously slander innocent people and propagate fiction without legal consequences, slander suits, liable suits, cease and desist warnings would fly and services providers(when they still had a moral compass) would cut your service.
Facebook let mis, and disinformation spin out of control, they allowed foreign nations, foreign actors and every freak to prey on an eyes glued to their device populous.
YouTube did, and does well with keeping broadcasters, podcasters from airing poisonous toxicity, I applaud them for their efforts however, that brought about the rise of sites like Rumble, and other streaming services where everything and anything goes, poisonous shows like Bannons' Warroom, and hundreds of other rightwing podcasters funded by dark money, funded by adversary nations.
Rumble podcasts, a place where anything goes, where any and all lies, conspiracies, liable and slander are allowed to go unchecked, allowed to flourish with zero consequences. Anyone who posts debunking info into their comment sections are instantly muted...Factchecking prohibited.
A few weeks before the election Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson were together chatting with each other on a podcast of sorts, big names, big audiences and they were chuckling with each other while talking about Harris or Biden getting assassinated....It was dangerous, and sick, and allowed to happen with no repercussions, they broadcast that poison to millions.
Twitter after regulators and governments threatened their existence tried to rein in the racism, the hate the obvious lies and disinformation but then, the same perpetrators who produced and spread the toxicity howled and screamed censorship...and then more toxic sites rose, 4chan, 8chan, Gettrr, Truth Social where moderation is a taboo word...There are millions of people in North America that crave the crudeness, they seek out havens where toxic lies and memes are not just accepted, they're wanted.
Seems toxicity reigns everywhere, Tic Toc and Instagram aren't much better.
Disinformation online, on podcasts, .....The vast majority of online garbage, conspiracies, harmful rhetoric comes from the right, and I hate that, I hate calling what Trump is, what these offending writers and podcasters are..."The Right"....as in the leftwing progressive and rightwing conservatism.
Nearly every damn conspiracy that pops up is pushed by the "Right"....Every week it's a new conspiracy and no matter how many times these evil clowns are debunked they just move on to the next one..And their followers, like sheep spread it around and eat it up.
These influencers, and Trump telling lies online for 4 straight years that Joe Biden received $millions from the mayor of Moscow, that he took money from China, from everybody...Lies about an open border you just walk through...
The lies from a former president that Biden and Harris in 4 years let 13,099 known murderers just walk in, that they let 350,000 known criminals just walk in, the lie that 21 million came across the border in last 4 years(real number is 11 million border encounters, and many many are repeaters met at the border)the lie that countries around the world emptied their prisons, mental institutions and insane asylums and not only sent them to the US they all got in unchecked, unvetted..
You can search until you are blue in the face and you won't find a single story, a single source, a single country that did any of those things.
In 2024 the MSM and literally every network, every online streaming platform allowed this conspiracy bullshit, allowed these lies to go viral to go completely unchecked...
CNN debate with Biden and Trump..Yes Biden bombed, looked old, tired and out of the game but he didn't lie, CNN's Dana Bash allowed Trump to unleash a torrent of lies, without a single factcheck..
The ABC debate was a little better, but still, the firehose of Trump lies drenched the stage and he was barely factchecked...ABC said "there's no evidence of Haitians eating pets" .. They felt a need to factcheck that but when Trump said the world's prisons and mental institutions have been emptied and those that were in them are ALL now in the US killing Americans....That was left untouched.
Twittergate...The scandal that never was....When Elon Musk took over Twitter and allowed what little moderation there was to fade to black.
I warned many at the time of what Elon's intention was....I had regular readers tell me, one reader in particular said to me...
"Don't worry about Elon musk and Twitter..Twitter isn't real life"
And in a flash, every online Nazi, conspiracy theorist, homophobe, every shitposter and spammer, every adversarial foreign nation was embraced by Elon..He manipulated algorithms, forced his own posts down everyone's throats while truth tellers and accounts Elon didn't like were throttled, shadowbanned via stealth technology...He cut average normal people Twitter/X users off if they didn't pay him..
This 2 year old comment sticks in my mind
"Don't worry about Elon musk and Twitter..Twitter isn't real life"
Then Elon went "rightwing" crazy, ...He literally dedicated Twitter to elect Trump, he endorsed Trump, he spread the most blatant BS conspiracies, he amplified Trump's lies and in my opinion broke election law by buying Trump voters, $1 million dollar daily lottery for Trump voters..
(Do you see that above, what I wrote..."and in my opinion broke election law"...Wrote it that way so I can't be held liable, can't get sued. I didn't say....Elon Musk broke the law)
It doesn't fucking matter anymore....You can say anything..Elon is a murder..Elon raped children...Trump murdered children, Trump is rapist a 100 times over...You can say whatever the fuck you want and there are no consequences anymore.

Part 11
Joe Biden and his administration failed
Joe Biden and his administration failed, not with policy and legislation but with messaging, ...When Biden and Harris assumed power in 2021 the country was flat on it's back, covid raging, lockdowns, high unemployment...And they spent money to shore up individuals, businesses, industry, the printing presses were revved up and money shoveled out the door (as did Trump with covid) but, they had to do it.....The vast majority of Americans had no safety net..
The mistake Joe Biden made was twofold .....
Trump when in office in his first term held a ton of press conferences, he repeated his lies, he beat his chest in public/whitehouse press conferences near every week, he bragged, and exaggerated every accomplishment he made, he brushed off any criticism and bold faced lied every fucking day..
33,000+ Trump lies in his first term.
Joe Biden's mistakes....When he ran in 2020(at age 78) he said to the voting public he was only going to serve out 1 term, he said he wouldn't run for a 2nd term...He lied, Joe should have let it be known after year 2, after year 3 that he wasn't running(because he wants to retire, he's old)....That was a big mistake, but not his biggest mistake..
While Biden was getting legislation done, getting Bills through congress he should of been bragging about his accomplishments weekly, and when Trump, and the GOP members of Congress he controlled starting sham impeachment hearings, baseless accusations accusing Joe of being a mastermind criminal, running a massive scheme to enrich himself..
Biden needed to threaten Congress with liable, with slander, he needed to debunk the made up garbage daily in a forceful manner..And if Joe wasn't up to the task of slamming republicans for the most foul, most egregious lies he had plenty of spokespersons and surrogates to make the case...Joe needed to publicly call Fox news traitors to the nation..every single day
Joe did well legislatively, very well, got more done than the last 4 presidents, yet he leaves office with a tarnished record in the minds of most Americans because of the spin, the lies, the outrageous conspiracies that ooze like green slime from Trump and the above mentioned entities on a daily basis..
Joe...He's old, was raised in an age where spouting provable lies and insane conspiracies would end most people's political careers, Joe ran and won in many an election...Trump was the opposite, even though he and Biden are close in age Trump has engaged in fakery and lies, and too many crimes to count his entire life..
Part 111
Kamala Harris' campaign errors.....
Kamala ran a near perfect campaign except for one thing...
Kamala needed a website, she needed mailers, she needed to address Trump's lies and BS stories, every single day..
Kamala Harris needed to stand tall at each rally, at each and every media appearance and say...
There is no evidence of any emptied prisons..ANYWHERE.....No evidence of countries emptying insane asylums...Trump is lying
NO 21 million did not enter our country...1/6 th of that number....Trump is lying
NO WE DID NOT let 13,099 murderers come in ......Trump is lying..
Yes, Kamala at her rallies rallies did call Trump a liar...But she didn't say what the lies were..
Trump started talking about every country emptying prisons and insane asylums and sending all the deranged savages(Trump's description, not mine)to the US where they just walk in...Trump started telling that made up spew in 2022....
It's 2024.....Why did Joe Biden not rebuke Trump over his bullshit lies in 2022...Why did he ignore it...Why didn't Harris address Trump's outrageous lies about prisons and insane asylums every single day..Why didn't she challenge Trump to give proof....Why didn't Harris slam Trump and put to rest his lie about 13,099 murderers were allowed into the US in 4 years..
My fucking gawd...That number of illegal/migrant murderers and criminals was over 40 years..There are not 13,099 immigrant murderers walking freely in the US...The number was literally the same under Trump's first term....That same report Trump lied about...The same data/report was available when he was president in 2016 ....The number in 2020 when Trump left office was...12,789 murderers ...
That report does not say they are walking around free....The entire story was made up, twisted data..
But that mistake by Harris....To not slam Trump and debunk that lie every single day was a huge mistake.
Why on earth...Trump appears on Fox News..on Bro podcasts...NY Post...Newsmax..all his rallies, and he says..
"Kamala Harris let 21 million illegal just walk across the border,13,099 known murderers, many have killed more than six people pour across our southern border unchecked, she just waved them in.."
Like Joe Biden....Kamala Harris thought Trump's lies are/were so outrageous, so unbelievable American voters will discount it.

I guess that was forgotten some time ago.
California seeks to pr emp Trumps tactics..

The right wingers of this world successfully took the well meaning word "woke" and turned it into an insult.
However they did get it right to call progressives "woke" in the derogatory sense.
BC only just avoided the same fate as the USA when the NDP narrowly avoided defeat after losing many seats because of their pretty please attitude coupled with a rousing chorus of kumbaya to finish the legislature.
day!
It's not that Americans are idiots , it's that progressives are no longer pragmatic.
