Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"The platforms are not worried whether the content people are seeing is accurate—once a person starts down the pro-Trump rabbit hole, that’s what he or she will be fed. No wonder so many people have come away with a delusional understanding of the Trump agenda. Capital was not “woke” before Trump, and it is not “anti-woke” now; it is capital, and its incentives are always toward profit. But authoritarianism, by nature, skews those incentives toward subservience to the state.</p><p>The Trump agenda, if successfully carried out, will lead to misery on a massive scale. It will test the bars of the algorithmic cage—will Americans judge based on their own experiences, or by what they see on their screens? As Chris Hayes writes in his new book, The Siren’s Call, “Before you can persuade, you must capture attention.” Where Trump and his allies are at fault for hardship, they will seek to persuade, using the networks of communication they have captured, that someone else is at fault, that the debacles they have concocted are not occurring or are in actuality positive events. Where they cannot do this, they will simply try to bewilder Americans by clogging these channels with toxic waste, flooding “the zone with shit,” as the Trump stalwart Steve Bannon once put it."</p><p><a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/02/trump-administration-voter-perception/681598/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/</span><span class="invisible">2025/02/trump-administration-voter-perception/681598/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SocialMedia</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Propaganda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Propaganda</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Algorithms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Algorithms</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/MediaManipulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MediaManipulation</span></a></p>

(“The lonely death of Gaza man with Down’s syndrome” was the initial headline of a BBC report on Israeli soldiers unleashing an attack dog on a disabled Palestinian and then leaving him to die.) The New York Times’ report on a grim landmark, the killing by Israel of thirty thousand Palestinians, overwhelmingly women and children, was headlined “Lives Ended in Gaza.” A more recent report on the Israeli regime of starvation by the Associated Press is titled “A 10-month-old Palestinian baby suddenly stopped crawling. Polio had struck Gaza.”</p><p>Unverified reports, eventually exposed as false, of beheaded Israeli babies were given prominence by journalists as well as the US President. They have together drawn a veil of silence over the multiple documented reports of rape and torture in Israeli prisons. An article in the Atlantic, presently edited by a former IDF operative and peddler of a notoriously false report about Iraq, could argue, even after the murder of thousands of children in Gaza, that “it is possible to kill children legally.”</p><p>Certainly, the Western media’s account of Israel’s “self-defense” yet again exposes the radical discrepancy between what is said by mainstream journalists in the West and what the rest of us see happening in the world. I cannot avoid a sense of deja vu, and an old question: is it still possible to enlarge cognitive capacity within the dwindling kingdom of Western journalism—the enchanted realm in which I have profitably spent most of my own life?"<br><a href="https://www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/online-only/the-last-days-of-mankind/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nplusonemag.com/online-only/on</span><span class="invisible">line-only/the-last-days-of-mankind/</span></a></p>
MoneroIsTheFuture<p>I find it interesting how all the Trumpers (and Trump himself) claimed to be against big tech, intelligence agencies, and media manipulation. Yet, as this chart outlines, everyone these people idolise are either directly or indirectly working with each other to control the masses. The typical responses I get from them are, "the media told you to think that," "go drink more kool-aid," or more commonly just a laugh... Do they suffer from Stockholm Syndrome?</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/HumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HumanRights</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/MassSurveillence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MassSurveillence</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigTech</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/MediaManipulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MediaManipulation</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/CIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CIA</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/NSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NSA</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/PeterThiel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PeterThiel</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/ElonMusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ElonMusk</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/Twitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Twitter</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/X" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>X</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/DonaldTrump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DonaldTrump</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/JDVance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JDVance</span></a></p>
