#break the media’s control

[dosesofcommonsense]

The Globalists and their propaganda front, the MSM, keep using the 75M number for Trump supporters. It’s a Psyop and conditioning. Most will hear it enough and just believe it.

Don’t fall prey.

IF you believe the 2020 numbers, 74M voted for Trump (74 out of 135). The media agrees to that number. Trump’s more popular now…Now that he’s more popular, his voters have gone up just 1M? That doesn’t make sense. It would make more sense if his numbers were closer to 100M.

But the media can’t have you know that.

Yet that’s what early voting shows.

So the Globalist names for Americans are isolated to this small group of people. They continue to ratchet up the rhetoric in hopes of scaring the majority of Americans.

It’s not working.

The Trump Train is 100M and growing. When we win, we break the mockingbird media’s hold on society and tear off the puppet strings limiting society.

That’s what they fear: losing control and losing power.

They cannot control Trump; that’s why they hate him so much. That’s also why they hate everyone who doesn’t swallow their shit like it’s the best thing for you. They hate you for abandoning them. The first step in breaking their power is to stop watching their news. The second is to vote Trump/Vance/RFKjr/Elon/Tulsi/Ron Paul/and more and break their media’s grip on society.

part of the many many bits of heartbreak over the jack arc is just sam and dean replicating their childhood dynamics from different places. jack is now sam. sam is now dean, jack's ally but at the end of the day, that means nothing when john's word is the final rule. and john is now dean, determined to keep his family under control, bc to lose control is to invite further death and despair into your home.

"you are not immune to propaganda" expands to text posts by ordinary tumblr accounts btw. and TikToks. and tweets. and anything that makes statements about the world or anything beyond one individual's experience without citing sources.

there's this thing called an anecdotal argument, or an anecdotal fallacy, and it's about how incredibly convincing we humans find a personal story. looking at a study on how essential oils can only be moderately linked to improvements in things like stress, anxiety, etc. is only so convincing - watching someone on TikTok tell you that essential oils gave them a skin rash (or alternately cured their skin rash) is going to *feel* much more convincing because there's a person you feel like you 'know' behind it. even if that person isn't real.

I don't think there's harm in empathizing with people when they share their triumphs and hardships; I am not suggesting that any social media platform is inherently bad, nor am I suggesting that other news sources are inherently factual. But I think it's extremely important to remember, whenever you see something that provokes a strong emotion in you:

Am I falling for engagement bait? And who benefits from my instinctual reaction to share this media?

whenever possible - and it is almost always possible! - verify not only the facts presented in the post/video, but the conclusion they're drawing.

Why does E give you the creeps? I feel like at the time, she was more openly supportive and enthusiastic around Clexa and ADC was the one who was more cagey and was obviously a straight girl who just didn’t really know what to say/didn’t want to say the wrong thing. I have always loved Alycia, but that’s how it came across to me. I’ve been out of the fandom for awhile and am getting back into it so I’m out of the loop. Is it because she married Bob Morley?

Oh no, I couldn't care less that she married Bob. My issue with Eliza (which I've gone into deeper detail about before so I'm just gonna be more brief here) is because of BM's ex's allegations involving cheating, gaslighting, and manipulation that E was party to, and then how E has since treated Clexa and Clexa fans. She went from championing Clexa to claiming she can't really remember scenes very well? Ok. She went from calling it "bell*rke shit" that will probably never happen because that's just not Clarke and his relationship is, to telling his paying Cameo stans that oh no, no reeeeally there were these secret few times that blork almost did happened and it was in the script and they actually built whole sets for it!!! But gee golly gosh it just got cut for some reason and we super don't know how that happened! But it totally was going to happen! Blork was real!! Source: Trust Me Bro.

There's a lot more to it involving her charities and the fact that she milks hers and his stans for all the cash they can get, but in simplest terms, the writing is on the wall about who she is and how she conducts herself as a person, and I'm not a fan.

As for Alycia, if in the future she does something to piss me off I'll drop her too. Celebs get held on a pedestal way too often and forgiven for being objectively bad people just because fans like their artform. I don't care to be that way. That being said, I never held it against Alycia for not being outspoken about Clexa, that's just not who she is. She's never effusive or public on her opinions on much of anything aside from like... what flowers she likes. To her, it's a job with a clock in and clock out time, and I can respect that. I appreciate it, actually. She's always been kind and gracious with fans who have met her, or so I've heard, and that's all I think a celeb really needs to be.

Personally I never found her to be cagey per se, just quiet and kept to her own lane. She said herself that because she isn't a part of the queer community, she never felt comfortable speaking out on it because it felt like she'd be speaking over the voices of the fans and queer people who were using that time for speaking their truth and pain. While some held that against her or felt let down, I didn't because in more ways than not, she was right. There wasn't much she could've added to the conversation that wasn't already being said by people who were actually the ones hurt by what happened with Lexa and the bury your gays trope proliferation of 2016. And since then, she's shown her support. She came back to a show that she had left behind for years just to give fans closure, and she did it in a way that didn't suck money from fans by bleeding their wallets dry through endless conventions.

It's because of those very same feelings in conjunction with seeing how E has handled the whole blork/Clexa situation in recent years that has let me know all that "support" E was throwing our way was disingenuous anyway. She doesn't get to keep those points from me. Honestly I'd prefer celebs to just stay tf quiet on issues rather than virtue signal and fake support for their own interests, only to eventually show their true colors and act mystified and victimized when people feel fooled and pissed off 🤷‍♀️

don’t know how 2 say “if I unfollow u as a mutual I promise it’s nothing personal” without just saying it but like. If u primarily rb unrelated stuff frum art I might unfollow from time 2 time (esp if it’s a lot of discourse related stuff) bc I’m becoming increasingly aware of how bad I am at monitoring and filtering my own racing thoughts when it comes to viewing an excessive amount of discourse posts. I will still check in and rb and probably even refollow once I get my brain set back on track but yah. If this means anything

starscream got himself a harem in earthspark? im pissing myself

genderbending like half the cast is interesting. i wonder why they decided that? just for fun?

well, i like it. ive been thinking about harems a lot so it was funny. and also i want to draw it. fundamentally im never in favor of this but im not taking it seriously anyways

usually i prefer genderbending just starscream and leaving sw and tc as male. reverse harem. but like this too. idk why i never thought about it before

this is a great video essay that puts into words some stuff I've been trying to express for a long time around why I tend to find a lot of mainstream (English-language mainly) reinterpretations of Scandinavian folklore and Norse mythology hmm... at best tedious and at worst actively alienating and annoying, while also being fair to the realities of triple A game development and the legitimate writing reasons that the studio chose to structure the game/story the way they did. if you just want to hear some cool things about scandinavian folklore and myths and see some banging art, it's also a good time that way!

Kpop idols are so like extraordinarily beautiful from all angles at all times its actually really scary to look at. their entire job is to be living breathing cover models and cover models dont even look like that. like I Get they have fillers and surgeries and filters and literal teams of people who are hired to perfect their appearance from their hair to outfit to their body but STILL. And not like JUST their body. idols are measuring wrist circumference and their basal metabolic rate and putting it in magazins. it's like if vladimirs wax corpse was hannah montana also

I mean honestly it's kind of wild the sort of stuff that circulates in kpop fandom as a whole. I saw a post about Baby Monster where people in the comments were calling out the ages of the members and the response those people was largely hahaha the oldies are complaining, maybe you're just too old to be a fan, say you're too old for kpop without saying you're too old for kpop, embarrassing to see these old people still listening to kpop, they are called BABY monster if they were like 20 they'd have to be OLD monster, and like... this idea held by younger generations that it is completely normal for 13 year olds to be pushed into the public eye and be under constant scrutiny from millions of people, this idea that it's completely normal for these 13 year olds to be going to school and also working for hours and hours before and afterwards, this idea that child labour as long as it's wrapped up in trendy clothes and a cool aesthetic is ok??????

I know kpop fandom in general can be toxic as hell but the way in particular it's helping feed this lifestyle of no privacy and filter fake picture perfection that the current generation are so swamped in anyway is on a whole other level.
