The misinformation war is real

[Birdbuff]

I think over stimulation or an over abundance of information might be an issue too. We know that we need to unplug, but do we? It’s too much. Then we are creatures of habit with the ability to think and over think everything. But in the end we gravitate to information that fits our personal belief system. We create our own “matrix”, personalized based on our experiences. Once inside the “matrix” we find it hard to be impartial.

It's pretty easy to believe misinformation when you have a governing power that lies through its teeth at every turn.

I'm waiting for the next round of real information to come out regarding the vaccinated. Call it a gut feeling, but the way the vaccine is forced down your throat even after 80% of people are jabbed feels off. The last two months were at 80%, yet every group of people you meet has a near 50/50 split. Me ponders the idea of them telling the public, "Everyone is doing it." Just to create a peer pressure scenario while trapped in your home.

The only problem with free speech and social media regulations...it depends on WHO is the censor. I volunteer to censor everything you write, before you speak, before you shop or make decsions - you must approve all that through me before you can respond.

Free Speech is NOT subject to limitations, unless incitement to violence or Death Threats.

Look I’m no expert. But reading this article makes more sense than some of the opposing theories I’ve read on here. We’re going to need to come up with a system that all people can trust to some certain degree or surely we will divide. The distrust is real. The misinformation is real. I’m not calling out anyone or looking to blame people. It’s easy to get caught up in things when they make sense to you. What I do think we need is more transparency and less rhetoric. We also need to do something about social media platforms. I’m not saying get rid of free speech, but some stuff needs a disclaimer. This world is full of information. The internet serves as a great database for information. Unfortunately it’s also used for misinformation for various purposes. None of these purposes serve to enhance our society.

Donald Trump found out that free speech has limitations and was dumped of Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube. Next.

Who's next musk for supporting the truckers?

I heard the other day by mainstream how one of the biggest ceo's can support those kind of acts.

Why can't a person be in support of it without be bashed. When's the last time mainstream showed an adverse reaction? We are living in a fantasy world lol.

Ignoring reality for opportunities

I agree it is a slippery slope and it might not have the desired affect. But. We are living in a less educated world. I know that sounds bizarre but consider the curriculum and your education versus your parents and now versus your kids. Maybe it’s me, but the education system is getting more diluted by the generation. I’m not just talking about math, English or science. I mean problem solving techniques and research techniques. This has eroded simple logic and common sense. There are too many dreamers out there that are looking at blurring the line between fantasy and reality. Some things can seem so believable even when they are untrue. Because of this, social media weaponizes misinformation. It spreads like wildfire, it festers. I think it’s a danger to society.

Watching msm during the Ottawa demonstrations really was something. The press is protected under the charter, but still the majority of msm had to camouflage themselves to blend in. They removed all company logos to not attract attention, but their equipment gave them away. The amount of aggression and intimidation they faced by the angry mob was mind blowing. These journalists were just broadcasting the live situation unfolding and were repeatedly attacked. Heck, the protesters even turned on some YouTube live streamers accusing them of being “FED’s” working for the establishment. The amount of paranoia and lack of trust was incredible. The nmsm is doing a great job at creating a divide in our society. Makes you wonder where it’s all going.

Just an example:

According to the pro-vaxxers, getting the jab (or two, or three) is the only way to survive this pandemic and is for the greater good of society.

Delmer, I don't mean to whiz in your cereal but right from the get-go this statement isn't entirely true either. Aside from those who believe the Covid thing is a complete hoax most people that I know, including myself believe getting vaxed is only one component of protecting yourself. Masks and social distancing are also needed to protect contracting and preventing spread. Just earlier on the news, the Ottawa police chief was saying there's some suggestion that incidents showing police brutality on line of the feedom convoy have been photo shopped.
Given all this one would would have to rely on their own common sense and not be so inclined to buy into everything they read on social media.. or the news media for that matter.

After this fiasco in Ottawa and the public seeing the media broadcast "spin" with set-up backgrounds and staged reporting,all the evidence needed for people to understand they're being maniplulated by media is right in their face. Will they see and understand? The die hard Liberal cadre will obfuscate and deflect til the cows come home,but,we have to have faith that not everyone is blind and stupid and eventually,will see right through it. I doubt it will happen overnight,but,surely the seed of doubt has been planted and undeniable evidence is now exposed. We'll see what grows out of it.
