Mainstream, Social Media, and the American Corporate Coup
The media efforts to manipulate thought is all too obvious here.
The red-highlighted emphasis is on this person's support for *Qanon though she was actually suspended from Twitter for alleging 'baseless' election-fraud - in other word, everyone is supposed to assume that elections are always carried out without fraud and believe that the powers of the day are sweet innocent beings who are as honest as Gump.
(*Q-anon - are a discredited body of people whom are alleged to be nothing but purposed to promote fantastical political perspectives, like the notion that Trump is opposed by an elite group of satan-worshipping pedophiles. Personally, i think this group was set up by the elite themselves to discredit all conspiracy theorists, or at the very least, used as an example to demonise all conspiracy theorists, those who oppose the established powers, and sociologists themselves.)
But look at how the whole thing is structured. The real reason for her suspension is in small letters, but the emphasis is on her support for Qanon, as if that is supposed to justify any censorship, or cast doubt, on the veracity of whatever she has to say. And it is in 'red' as well, which in such a context is presented, not only to monopolise your attention and consideration, but as a warning beyond which no thought is required, or on the basis of which, one can conclude without reading further.
Even if people read both the highlighted heading, and the small text, it is the former that most would keep in mind.
This is the sort of game that the Mainstream Media plays. Let's not forget that the Mainstream Media is, generally, the Public Relations wing of the Capitalist Conglomerate - by whom they are owned and answer to.....though their funds come from us - be they in the form of corporations or state capitalist governments. They determine what you look at, how long you at it, in what ways you look at it, in what ways you conclude, and in what ways it determines your future thoughts and attention on anything.....and to make you think you are doing it all out of your own volition (choice). (sociology and psychology should be made mandatory from secondary school onwards).
...the most important aim here, it appears, is to justify the right of capitalist corporations who exist for nothing other than profit, and view the people as nothing but the means to it, and whom are NOT popularly elected, to censor and silence anyone from Prince to Pauper, and in effect, replace the integrity and independence of both the ballot and soapbox.
Marjorie's 'support' for Qanon is mentioned here purely to discredit her and support and justify the power of Social Media to silence her and anyone - even though her support for Qanon, which shouldn't be an issue in the first place, was in the past, and she had distanced herself from it a long while back.
But the most important aim here, it appears, is to justify the right of capitalist corporations who exist for nothing other than profit, and view the people as nothing but the means to it, and whom are NOT popularly elected, to censor and silence anyone from Prince to Pauper, and in effect, replace the integrity and independence of both the ballot and soapbox.
A baseless claim isn't baseless unless proven or disproven via investigation. So long as a baseless claim can be proven to be true some of the time, it must be welcomed and investigated all of the time as possibly true until proven otherwise. Without this, all there is is tyranny of the few who claim a monopoly on truth over all.
The Mainstream and Social Media, in the last weeks of Trump's tenure in the Whitehouse, seems to be geared toward justifying capitalist corporations' right to silence anyone without any reports on opposition to their right to do so. It was, in effect, a last ditch effort for the conglomerate to reclaim its 'manhood' that had been severely compromised throughout most of Trump's tenure as the President.
So what was that so-called 'insurrection' all about that supposedly justified Trump being silenced? Who was that fearsome bloke who was armed with nothing but a hat with horns, flanked by people who may have been used as extras in The Beverly Hillbillies, all of whom were brandishing nothing other than flags and a stupid look on the face, supposed to be terrifying fearsome revolutionaries aiming to conduct an insurrection of the government? What was the horned guy expected to do? Bore the entire government to death with his horns? Or subdue them with incessant braying?
Whilst it was alleged that Trump was trying to overthrow the government, it was the mainstream and social media whom were doing exactly that by silencing Trump and ridiculously alleging that he was inciting an insurrection when all that transpired at Capitol Hill was largely an unarmed protest, and a call for investigation into elections fraud. And the senate stepped in later to Impeach Trump and came across as attempting to add a legal proceedings (of impeachment) and justification to the treasonous actions of the capitalist conglomerate. It served to add a legal tone to actions that weren't legal or ethical, and thus further distracted the people from realising that a corporate coup had just taken place. What the senate should have done was to censure the capitalist conglomerate for silencing a popularly elected president and pissing on free speech. But they didn't. In that, Social Media, Mainstream Media, and the Government got together to effect a corporate coup. They conveniently forgot that protests aren't treason. Silencing it, is.
Protest isn't Treason. Silencing it, is.
The mainstream media dismissed all allegations that the elections were tampered with as 'baseless' WITHOUT investigation or proof, whilst Social Media stepped in to silence anyone who made such 'baseless claims' without even proving that it is baseless via investigation, which thus effectively overthrows the people as the masters. A baseless claim isn't baseless unless proven or disproven via investigation. So long as a baseless claim can be proven to be true some of the time, it must be welcomed and investigated all of the time as possibly true until proven otherwise. Without this, all there is is tyranny of the few who claim a monopoly on truth over all.
So, silencing Trump, and the witch hunt on all those who made baseless claims thereafter was the real 'insurrection' that took place with nothing but the press of a few buttons by unelected corporations. And in that, Amazon, Apple, Twitter, Facebook, Google, are all guilty of treason and insurrection.
People were so caught up with anti-Trump sentiments that the fact that the silencing of Trump by capitalist 'Social Media' corporations was the silencing of almost half the country - whom had voted for him - meant nothing to the people.
Trump was a most convenient evil that was used as an excuse to fully flex the power of the corporation in being the unelected censors of any thought and word. Trump was the catalyst for the 'coming out' parade by capitalist corporations as the real government of the people.
Tell me, how is it that a capitalist corporation's 'policy' and 'community guidelines' can replace the ballot box? How is that that can determine what the president can say or can't, and when he can be silenced? How is it that a profit-focused company that needs to be policed become the police of the people to the president? Tell me, how is it that you've been underdeveloped over the years to not only let this happen, but not even bloody notice it when it does?
We know of countries where fascist and racist State Capitalist governments own the newspapers, like North Korea, China, or Singapore. But this is the first time I'm hearing about a country where newspapers and social media own the government, and through that, the people. It started with them silencing people whom thought beyond their 'community guidelines', which is another term for 'thought guidelines' (the only guideline for thought should be debate!), and when they could silence hundreds of thousands of people globally, they finally 'came out' and stuffed a sock in the mouth of the President of the United States. And if people can agree to corporations silencing a popularly elected president, they have in effect agree to their own silencing as a people.
Don't be fooled into thinking you are a part of Social Media. People talk about Social Media as if it is them, theirs, ours, our space, our little node in the World Wide Web of the Tapping Dead. You are a subject, not citizen, of social media which is run by an agenda-fraught profit-oriented capitalist conglomerate. Social Media is a corporation that owns the digital realm, and through that, is posturing to own the terrestrial through the manipulation and domination of its subjects via Mainstream Media. It is wholly run for profit, and the perpetuation of profit requires the suppression of anything that can compromise the influential hegemony of those who run it.
Trump was like the Azazel Goat used to carry the sins of the people away from them, and in this instance, their right to free speech, thought, and the right to listen to alternatives to what is presented as the truth by the Mainstream Elite was taken as payment for its dispatch.
If one was to allow one's imagination to go even further, one could even say that Trump did what he did on purpose, so that the capitalist corporations could be brought in as the censors of all free thought, speech and listening. But that would mean that the rich and powerful would actually collude to perpetuate and further their hold on the human imagination, and through that, on power and wealth. They being the nice saintly people that they are, they wouldn't do such a thing of course. So this is just a baseless claim, just as baseless as the allegation that profit is paramount to these corporations.
If i can imagine it, it's possible that they can do it. If they can profit from it, it's probable that they already did it before i imagined it.
