Ep. 180: Mis, Dis, and Mal Propaganda

Weapons of Meme Destruction

Mark Zuckerberg testifies in front of the Senate, and you'll be surprised—well, maybe not surprised, but definitely startled—by the measured approach Meta is dedicated to when it comes to discouraging child predators on the Instagram platform. An approach bearing precisely zero resemblance to the draconian approach they took to covid "mis, dis, and mal-information." Amazing what issues take priority versus those that don't for our overlords. Last week, a drone attack took place at a U.S. base on the Jordan-Syria border that took the lives of 3 U.S. soldiers and wounded many more. Of course, the Warhawks came out of the wood-work to call for Iranian blood despite Iran denying responsibility for the attack and U.S. Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, admitting the U.S. had no proof Iran was behind the attack. But, hey, who has time for a careful, measured approach when you and your donors stand to make even more money off the next forever war? Around and around we go.
