There’s that ‘Raw Edit’ video that is missing over a minute of footage because they forgot to edit out the timestamps.

My uncle lives up in Omak
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omak,_Washington
This is a small town. We don’t call them villages, we call them towns for some reason.
Technically speaking, Omak is a city actually. But pretty much everyone will call it a town around here.
Ummm. Elon Musk made $100,000,000,000 by making internet propaganda about how his electric cars are better than internal combustion, lies about their capabilities (full self driving), lies about how often they explode and lies about how well his Robots work. And then the propaganda is so strong he becomes Buddy in chief and people think that literally paying Musk another $50Billion is a good idea.
The cats out of the bag. Internet propaganda is too cheap and too effective. Everyone will be doing it if only to counter Elon Musk (let alone make money for themselves like through bullshit crypto coins or whatever).
You or I deciding to ‘not fill the internet with shit’ stops nobody. It’s going to happen given this political climate and the benefits therein.
Lemmy.ml started off as marxist-lenninist site. All sites need to start with a niche and I doubt any future social network will avoid the niche issue.
I think normies are turning off of Lemmy recently, which naturally causes the extremists feel more loud (because the extremists will NEVER leave this site).
Trying to figure out a good social network is like looking for a good hangout in real life. The people who frequent is entirely the picture. It’s hard to compete vs commercial interests like Blue sky or whatever as they pop up though.
Still, Threads, BlueSky and Twitter are all obviously suspect sites that will seed algorithms with their message. Lemmy doesn’t do that. Lemmy has its own issues but it’s very much a pick your poison situation.
Early internet was just information about hobbies and for the betterment of people and furthering knowledge. Let’s take that back.
Nope. After 2010s proved that the internet is the central location for political battles with Wikipedia Blackouts causing major political shifts, Pandoras Box has been opened.
The internet is now the premier location for propaganda and politicalization.

Mexico was importing these car parts and then exporting the Truck back to USA. Because we Tariffed Mexico and Canada, the Mexico and Canadian factories are closing down.
Which is now closing down factories in the heartland of America.
Lose lose for everyone. Who is the winner when the singular Truck was being made across Mexico, USA AND Canada?? Tariffs have now ruined the price of these parts and consolidation efforts, so now everyone is losing their jobs.
Pretty simple. A jury is 12 rrandom-ish people (ignoring the Voir Dire process where lawyers argue about who deserves to be on the jury).
If you openly are for jury nullification, then the prosecutor will try to throw you out in the Voir Dire proces (its unfair to the prosecutor if you think that you can ignore the Prosecutor’s argument entirely). Then they select someone else to be part of the jury.
Secondly, all 12 members of the jury have to agree on the decision. So all 12 of you have to agree that the law is unfair in this case and opt for jury nullification instead. There’s examples where this happens: ex a child gets charged for child pornography when they send a picture of themselves. After all, they “distributed child porn” which is grossly illegal by the law, but the jury can agree “Yeah, they broke the law but don’t deserve to be punished in this case”. That’s the kind of thing jury nullification was created for, when everything is “technically correct”, but the jury is smart enough to realize that its not “Truly a crime”.
Now people bring up the Jury Nullification as a potential… erm… way to get someone out of a murder case. Highly unlikely that you’d get all 12 people agreeing on that. At best, you’d probably get a hung jury if say, 2 or 3 people agreed ahead of time to use jury nullification.
Furthermore, by showing that you’ve got “interest” in a case means that you’re no longer a random person off the street, but instead someone who may have been misinformed by media about a case. A jury must be ignorant about the case and have an open mind for the trial process to work at all. So people with pre-existing knowledge about cases are often thrown out during Voir Dire. This is because many pieces of evidence are often determined to be illegal. (Ex: if the police illegally wiretapped you, then the evidence CANNOT be shown to the jury, even if the wiretap was published in the media). So the evidence that shows up in court is itself part of a large process and selective ignorance is in fact key to the whole shebang. (How else can you punish a prosecutor for illegally obtaining evidence? Even if the evidence is true, it must be struck out of the record and the prosecutor is not allowed to use such evidence in their case).
Basic psychology.
Anyone who has already decided that they like Elon (or MAGA) do not want to believe that they are the bad guy. So they will reach for even the worst of arguments to make themselves believe they aren’t the bad guy.
Remember: Nazis themselves refuse to believe the Holocaust happened. Same same really. No one wants to think of themselves as the bad guy.
Cartoon published in 1910. What do you think?
Note: Spain did NOT in fact, blowup that ship.
Yeah, the non-existent Deep State. These fuckers are firing important people looking for ghosts and goblins.
They became the Government and are using their power to mass fire everyone to get rid of the Deep State.
Why do you think MAGA is so willing and ready to fire huge swaths of the US Government?
Did you forget about the election?
Immigrants from Springfield, Ohio are eating cats and dogs.
And now Trump is moving for mass deportations.
The good news is that Trump is ignorant and bad at his job. I dunno how long it’d take to setup detention camps for immigrants but it’s definitely coming.
I’d say that any Hispanic or Latino, even Puerto Ricans, are at risk. Depending on which state you are in. Arizona is known to throw out US Citizens for deportation if the sheriff thinks you look funny.
The fucker paid for Pennsylvania votes last election. Literally paid for them.
He grew up in Apartheid South Africa and calls his African American workers ‘Plantation’ and none of them can move up the ladder in any of his companies.
He God damn knows what he is doing.
See for yourself.
We need to save and remember this moment. The assholes are already rewriting history as we speak.
Biden was a Charismatic leader?
What we have here is Elon Musk helping out on Trump’s branding.
Even Team Trump, as fascist as they are, are being run by entire teams of teams. The spokespeople are just that, speakers.
A leader doesn’t make the decisions. The leader just unifies the people.
If there is a leader, any leader at all, who’d try to lead the progressive cause? And one that people would really behind?
That’d be a good first start. Even celebrities like Jack Black.
No. I’m just aware of the need for a charismatic leader.
Civil rights had Martin Luther King. Among other leaders. The idea of doing this without leadership is the fundamental flaw.
Cool.
Give me a name. And stop stalling.
If there are that many mistakes here, then it’s likely malicious compliance. Someone was ordered to edit, so they edited in the most obvious manner possible.
This is quite ridiculous how shoddy of a job this was.
