Approximately 6.5 terabytes of data from the interconnected companies Psyclone Media and Political Media in addition to client data such as The Post Millennial, acting as their “face to the political world”. Political Media describes itself as a “right of center new media consulting firm” for political and public relations campaigns and is a co-owner of Psyclone Media and Psyclone Hosting. The companies provide website, email and marketing services, in addition to video production and SEO optimization through their “cooperative partners”.
Psyclone Media and Political Media’s clients have included political action committees (PACs) and Super PACs, congressional candidates and other political organizations including the Tea Party, as well as conservative media figures and outlets such as Parler, Tucker Carlson, and The Washington Times. Their formal campaigns have promoted use of raw milk and disputed the narrative around the 2012 Benghazi attack, in addition to the narratives promoted by their clients through the “Conservative Stack” service, a content management service catering to conservative users.
Social media and news is overwhelmingly controlled or otherwise influenced/flooded by the right or those acting on their behalf.
It’s pretty easy to explain too. Social media and traditional media are all owned by billionaires and they want to push a rightwing agenda because that means less taxes for them and fuck everyone else.
They are also pushing the identity politics, so we are distracted fighting among ourselves instead of uniting against them
I mean it wouldn’t be a problem if people didn’t get angry about minorities having rights.
The reason the rich are pushing right-wing politics is that they know socially conservative people are ready to give the wealthy whatever they want so long as they can tread on the humanity of minorities. So a large part of the problem is there truly are a lot of deplorable people who have some truly abhorrent views and the rich are taking advantage of that. Is the rich taking advantage a problem? Sure, but the bigger problem is that these people with these views exist in the first place and are easily manipulated.
If the rich could get tax cuts from pushing for social rights for minorities they would do that instead, but social liberals are less gullible than the conservatives.
I keep hearing this, and I’ve been ready to fight back against them for decades, but I don’t ever see the revolution.
Unless you count occupy wallstreet, which lasted like 2 weeks, and nobody remembers.
Its not even about taxes but straight up class warfare. Lately billionaires noticed that they are not as untouchable as they thought they were and now they’re aligned to fix this.
There’s no class war, at least not in a country like the US: for there to be a war the other side would have to be fighting which they’re not, and the billionaires have been into the pillaging stage of their conquest for decades and are just using information control, populism and rage-baiting to make sure the riff-raff remain out of their way.
Things are well beyond the “elites” merely taking an unfairly outsided cut of the growth and well into taking from the rest that which they and their parents accumulated, hence why quality of life for the majority has been going down for a while now and the last two Generations are set to be worse off than their parents.
No, it’s not that it’s controlled. It’s that none of you participate or share this stuff. “They’re owned by X” argument is just an excuse.
You’re reading about it from someone who shared it right now. Derp.
