    People have always been relatively stupid, this just highlights it and memorializes it in techonlogy more than ever so we get to see it, we also have mindless entertainment available a 24 hours a day to dumb ourselves down, hurt our attention span, and focus on **** that matters lke the latest teenage lip fillers from the kardashians.

    Take all that tech, be on the internet since 99, that culmination of all that stupidity becomes pretty apparenty doesnt it?

    also on the other hand, load of readily available info, ability to connect to people before that look so foreign they could sell you a war against the scary folks untl you realize they pressed thumbs up on the same song you did on youtube. ultimately a force for good, but attention spans and stupidity also flourish here

    They have. if anyone takes fox news or a rupert murdoch/saudi owned entity as you're guiding force on what it means to be amercan, you may end up hugging a flag to show you love this country. no doubt ironic we're celerbating the land of the free, for the people by the people, by a north korea like praise only of the dear leader and show of some physical sybols rather than holding govt accountable to unchecked power...gotta laugh at the irony

    Likewise, don't forget. Maddow and MSDNC were the first lawsuit that proclaimed that no one should take their news seriously or as fact, that was before Tucker and those lawyers' lawsuits. Same game, different name.

    And now with the internet, short form group think stupidity, fox or msnbc don't serve as teh biggest impacts. Some clowns like Ron Watkins are the new patriots or maybe even blm's founder buying her generational wealth next to the white foilks in the coffers of a 90 million blm raising which they don't show where it goes, or maybe it doesn't matter as long as you put up a black screen and showing your donation, you're free.

    Or how about the stupidity of protesting for injustice and abuse with your nike clothes and apple phones, companies that along with biden pushed the tpp with terrible labor practices exploiting minority hands and children for the benefit of fashion...or thinking that a constnatly screaming high in words, low in action trump who his own companies used china as the main manufacturer and couldn't figure out a better was as the guy to fix it...because you know, 'only I can fix it" but he won't tell us the plan...boy if I'm a snake oil salesamn, I'm going door to door to the gullible out here to sell them some home, rage, or whatever they want...business is booming

    There’s a bunch of threads about your favorite news network

    the fact you mention your favorite news network vs. social media network used by kids

    shows that are addicted to cable news
    @Os Trigonum

    If a tiktok star walked across the street you wouldn’t know but if cable news anchors rolled up in a Benz you’d run to them like they are Travis Scott selling seltzer

    Who rules the world ?

    evidence that tech companies and media

    Kylie Jenner is almost a billionaire for a reason
    And it’s not her expertise on the environment and economics and diplomacy

    Social media sells and controls
    It’s not that hard

    Tik Tok needs to be banned. It's a subversive Chinese propaganda and social engineering tool. Also people need to get their kids off social media and out into the real world.
