@thevivafrei Only if they actually care about some concept of reputation. If they are just an influencer mouthpiece they won't care. Many people have done nothing about the stories they spread for COVID..they just move on to the next story to spread

It’s incredible. The amount of people who are repeating as fact unconfirmed and uncorroborated stories. They will all have a lot of deleting to do if their rumor mill fails to provide hard evidence.

@conspiracyb0t Not like it is something completely new... history is full of old demented government leaders

FBI agents have to retire at 57 Air traffic controllers at 56 Pilots at 65 But somehow demented 70 and 80 year olds running the country is totally fine. Make it make sense.

💥BREAKING: 🇺🇸 President Trump says Pete Hegseth started the Iran war, I did not, He was the first to push for it.

@AuronMacintyre Oh yeah ... Israeli media in that situation would be absolutely objective and reliable...

Let's check in on American sovereignty

@eugyppius1 @teortaxesTex As opposed to your heads-trump-was-wrong-tails-trump-was-wrong analysis?

@teortaxesTex whatever news item emerges it’s pretty clear that maga twitter will produce another heads-trump-was-right-tails-iranians-were-wrong kind of analysis.

This guy is hilarious The only way Iranians could effectively "communicate" with Kushner and Witkoff was by killing them on the spot. These murderous scammers are neither intellectually equipped to negotiate a nuclear deal, nor constitutionally capable of acting in good faith.

@AlpacaAurelius Mountain house

mountain house or beach house?

@AndrewBrandt Does this mean no one else really wanted him?

Translation: One year, $12 million and "we'll see."

Trump's friends are insider trading again. The market feels insanely manipulated.

@cenkuygur So basically you believe Iran and not Trump...nice to know, though not remotely a surprise

Trump says we had great talks with Iran. Iran says there were no such talks. There’s some chance Trump made that up to calm the markets. But there’s also some chance his advisers told Trump there were talks to appease him. The president living in an alternate reality is not good.

@ConceptualJames Social media is much greater than being able to be categorized under one emphasis. Like any city, if you go downtown, you get downtown focus, if you go to the suburbs, you get suburban focus. You are free to find what you want to focus on, and you clearly are focused on one thing

The more obvious it becomes that social media is a massive propaganda battlespace, the less interesting and worthwhile social media becomes as a result.

@AuronMacintyre And yet you just casually smooth over the idea of public good, as if ideologies don't create their own definition of public good as the foundation of whatever else they do. Just admit it is ultimately a morals question for all ideologies

Conservatives correctly grasp that Marxism is a failure but do not understand why It’s not that the specific ideological construction is a failure, though it is, the problem is that ideology itself tends towards utopian distraction Marxism might be the most obvious manifestation of this modern temptation but is far from the only one As we can clearly see in both the UK and US “rule of law” is just as capable of producing tyranny Once the law is separated from the good of the particular people it was meant to serve it becomes its own ideological game, exploitable by those most willing to rend the culture asunder for their own gain The Aristotelian insight is that while some systems may have advantages over others it is orientation towards the public good that ultimately decides the worth of the system Without a concrete commitment to a specific people any system, including rule of law, will be corrupted

@ThatTimWalker @ClarkeMicah Peter hasn't been right in a long time, he just hopes for some posts to give him continued relevance

Love him or loathe him, Peter is right on this.

@DowdEdward I don't know, are you implying that Trump is going to die

Netanyahu, Trump and Khamenei Jr. walk into a bar… Too soon? 🤣

@ConceptualJames @AlaskaBird__ There have been influencer cults for centuries, even millenia. Difference today is the speed and breadth of the reach using modern technology.

@AlaskaBird__ I've been saying stuff about influencer cults for a while. Huge problem in our era.

He’s not joking. Influencer cults are real and unbelievably dangerous. I’ve seen a lot of good people get sucked into these scams.

@DavidMKeyes Clearly you haven't read any history yourself..

Hitler died on April 30, 1945. Everyone knows what happened next. A new Hitler replaced him who was far more extreme. War solves nothing (except fascism and slavery). Read history!

@christopherrufo That's not really a high bar for him to clear... That also means you are buying into Vatican 2...

When it comes to Catholicism, I trust Bishop Barron more than Candace Owens and Carrie Prejean Boller

@DowdEdward Nice to know your personal rule for all your propaganda

Pro Tip: If one is going to do propaganda try not to make the lies insult our intelligence.

@ConceptualJames Spending two seconds on cernovich is a waste of your two seconds

Know them by how they circle their wagons and have bizarre super straight fantasies inside the circle.

@wokal_distance *grift off

I am literally begging you all not to fall for the latest charlatan build-an-influencer who is trying to dishonestly grift of Israel conspiracism. Please, please, have some discernment.

@AuronMacintyre The lesson you refuse to learn is how wrong you continue to be, while acting like you are somehow insightful...

One of the main points of Dune is that the native fighters with nothing to lose will always have an advantage over even the most advanced and wealthy empire A lesson we refuse to learn

Iran is currently Paul Atreides standing on top of the pre-spice mass with the Water of Life threatening to bring all travel in the empire to a halt I know this is nerdy but trust me this is the perfect analogy
