RE: DTube - Dan Dicks Responds To The FACEBOOK PURGE - Internet Bill Of Rights Is NOT What We Need!
I noted this in the other posting of this video.
Facebook / Twitter / Google are the battle grounds in the information war.
While boycotting them and finding the alternatives; steem, gab, minds, etc, makes for a good escape and a reprieve from the censorship and the pains of battle.
The problem is that we own those alternatives, that is already claimed ground. The battle ground IS on those platforms that will censor users in order to better influence society to their own benefit.
These groups are acting as monopolies and we all must do whatever we can to expose that corruption to their users and ultimately commit to the lawsuits that will take down these giants.
Eventually the content offered on Facebook / Twitter / Goggle will be so watered down, that nobody is interested in it anymore. The internet is extremely volatile in that sense. People will follow the Information, and the plafforms who dont offer it will become the new MySpace.
Facebook is already dead in the water.
Agreed, but while they are still active, they are in control of millions of our allies who have succumbed to the information war.
While under enemy control, they are tools of our enemies.
To passively allow these platforms to simply collapse under their own weight, by the time that happens, the damage could already be done.
Now is the time to draw people away from those platforms, to show them the alternatives, to show them why and how they are being used and manipulated and what the alternatives are to be built.
It is not enough to just ALLOW them to fail, we have to do everything in our power to speed up that process.
i am far more relaxed in that regard, perhaps because i see the bigger picture.
They can do whatever they want... they cannot stop what has been put in motion.
physically impossible.
I don't think you do... all due respect.
There's a reason why they are banning non-progressive voices at this time. They don't really care about the 10-20% of disenfranchisement, so long as they can maintain the majority of their "farm". The longer they are captives within the ghettos of facebook and all, the more they can get their influence and the harder it will be to reclaim them as allies.
To paraphrase what I've said elsewhere; our predecessors did not defeat the nazi's by saying "oh, they are so corrupt that they will collapse on their own", or "the nazi's own germany, let them do what they want"... as true as those things may or may not be, the damage caused by not addressing this would have been exponentially worse than the millions of dead fighting them off.
There used to be an invisible wall that separated the virtual world from the real world.
This wall is long gone.
Change is happening everywhere.
Education, Politics, Health, Economics.... its a full spectrum attack on old narratives.
You think a few bans will change that? lol
Whats going on is WAY bigger than facebook or twitter.
and we (as in the human species) have been here before many times.
Exactly.
It IS much bigger than any singular platform, but those platforms are where the people are who can be exposed to this information.
Some big stuff is coming, and we are lucky to see the writing on the wall.
Many of our friends and family are NOT. They are still asleep. Now is the most important time to do what we can to wake as many people up as possible, that's why Twitter and Facebook are the battle grounds, that's where there are still millions of people that need to be braced for what is coming.
Many can be woken up with a gentle nudge, it is better that they be given the chance to see what is coming, because if they get woken up when it hits, it will be too late for many.
Some people will never wake up.
Thats a beautiful idea, but i reached a different conclusion.
I've been trying with my Parents, Friends, even my Sister... they simply dont understand.
You can only challange them intellectually, you can show them the logical fallacies...explain better ways etc.
And you can only do it on a neutral ground, without trying to insult their intelligence.
You are right, about 4-6% will NEVER wake up until there is no other option...
For now, it's important to keep dispensing red pills to whoever will take them, and at a certain point they will need to become suppositories.
Some people will never wake up.

The book burning of the Nazis?

All efforts to stop the enlightenment.
What we see today with the bans and censorship is nothing different.
But how do you shut down the Internet?
How do you stop information in a world where there are no barriers anymore?
How do you transport the people who are already on the surface back to the cave? (Plato)
