Their values are aligned, theirs strategies are aligned, and so their efforts are aligned.
Ender’s Game was prescient text, regardless of Orson Scott Card’s personal beliefs.
Locke and Demosthenes are now armies of manipulative bots (but often real humans), shaping political discourse throughout the world. The Internet gave mind control powers to people with money, ambition, or both. We saw it with the Bernie Sanders and Trump movements in 2016 on Reddit, all too clearly for those who lived through an era where bullshit detection was a critical skill.
I was once fairly defeatist on this subject: the bad guys won, got Trump elected, and kicked off a new era of 80s conservatism that demonized progressive values like environmental conservation, freedom of choice in a number of matters, and equality.
But now, I’m starting to see young people stand up to their boomer relatives at Thanksgiving and bring facts and logic to social media discussions. And I have regained some hope that we will once again find a way to make the progressive “line go up“. Our society seems to swing like a pendulum between the right and left, over decades, and it feels like the Trump era was a swing too violent for most of us. It’s time to swing back.
Isn’t Asmongold one of those GamerGate dorks who hates “diversity in muh games”?

Disgusting. Please don’t participate in this.
Damnit. I love Firefox. What is the best alternative?
Operations on terrorist organizations. Geography was not taken from any of those countries. I was against the Iraq war and I think many Americans were, I wouldn’t try to defend it.
Now how is Putin invading Ukraine to expand Russia’s territory similar to those?
You Russian shills love to call everyone idiots because no one understands global conflict like you do, but do you really?
Yes, it did start in the 90s. With this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian–Ukrainian_Friendship_Treaty
Now who violated the treaty?
Who’s being intellectually dishonest in this thread again?
Russia is in the drivers seat here. All they have to do is stop attacking a sovereign nation and not fire nuclear missiles. It’s pretty simple.
lol, who has NATO invaded?
Did they alert authorities? Hope you’re doing better.
Sports and celebrity bullshit are the only things keeping Twitter afloat. They all need to move to threads or bluesky, because let’s be honest, they aren’t going to mastodon.
They are eating the pets of the people who live there!
Melania is stunning in the same way laser cut glass figurines are. Sure they look cool, but do you want it on the shelf in your house?
All of this began with Steve Bannon and his WoW guild. I can’t believe how far they’ve taken it.
