@Lobster When psychological manipulation is amplified through carefully orchestrated propaganda in order to achieve goals defined by the cold hard calculus of power and greed then it becomes obvious that someone has realized it is an exacting science.
But, alas, this is just my humble opinion based on observation.
Mathematical science shows what is. It is the language of unseen relations between things. But to use and apply that language, we must be able fully to appreciate, to feel, to seize the unseen, the unconscious.

Because Charlie Kirk gets FREE SPEECH---------------------------------
BUT YOU DO NOT
Its my right as an American citizen to say I HATED CHARLIE KIRK AND WHAT HE STOOD FOR AND INSTIGATED.
HATE HIM and could care less that he is dead.
THAT IS MY FREE SPEECH.
Charlie gets to say the little woman has no rights and should be barefoot stupid and pregnant then it is MY RIGHT TO SAY CHARLIE FUCKING KIRK IS A LOSER PIECE OF SHIT THAT ACTUALLY DESERVED TO DIE.
And I am backing THAT up by saying KIRK HIMSELF THOUGHT GUN MURDERS WERE GOOD. Basically Kirk got what he ASKED AND DEMANDED.
Its my RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH TO HATE CHARLIE KIRK, and I do.
The right to free speech is not just for NAZIS.

It should be obvious why Western governments around the world are in a mad race to tie all social media accounts to your government ID through "age verification" schemes, and to read all your messages via "Chat Control"
People are regularly punished for sharing thoughts, opinions, and information online today, but you can opt out by using privacy-respecting services and being conscientious about your data. They want to make sure you can't opt out in the future by attacking privacy at every turn.
It's always about censorship, never about "the children."

Sick at heart at what I'm seeing, and the collusion and acquiescence of our government.
Never again is now, and we're failing.
My kids and I shouldn't be brought to tears by having to endure active shooter drills. Our schools should never have to practice how to reunite children with families, or how to tell them their kid isn't there because they're dead or injured.
I am not as eloquent as others but I have to say it:
IT'S THE GUNS

>>Jewish Australian journalist Antony Loewenstein returns to his ancestral home, Germany, to investigate how the country’s impulse never to repeat the horrendous anti-Semitism that led to the Holocaust has resulted in the suppression of any criticism of Israel & its actions in Gaza.
[...]
The journey will reveal the ultimate irony - how determination to fight anti-Semitism is actually being used to empower the very forces, the far right, with the closest ties to Germany's dark fascist past.<<
Citing concerns about DEI, the U.S. Department of Education has halted funding for programs that support students with combined hearing and vision loss in eight states.
“How low can you go?” one advocate asked. “How can you do this to children?”

BTW, the authors say the best-performing LLM, GPT-5, gets only a 17.9/100 grade point average. So-called AGI ain't just around the corner. OpenAI is being held back to repeat first grade.
The coverage of the Charlie Kirk murder is interesting.
To me he was a marginal character, a racist influencer and propagandist.
But the mainstream media are treating this as an "assassination" as though he was a legitimate national leader. He was not.
And this story is getting so much airplay. Say compared to the assassination of Minnesota House of Representatives Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband by right wing evangelist Vance Boelter of Praetorian Guard Security Services.

Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A 56 yo survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
