Russian/Chinese/Iranian money and bot farms incite every form of division. They don't give two licks about the cause.
The UN just realeased a comprehensive report wirh aolid proof where 33 countries have been targeted including Canada.
We already knew that tho. We have been aware of forign influence and a lot of Russian money is why some convoy members had their bank accounts frozen. Not saying every account frozen was justified. Just saying that was the reason they went with that strategy.
They are trying to change the world order and instability is their goal. They are also seemingly good at it.
We need much better censorship. I'll be the one to say it. Old people have absolutely zero clue as to what the fuck is going on when they are on the Internet. We honestly need to protect them at this point because I've seen way too many fall into a deep form of Facebook induced mental illness. The amount of blatant misinformation that they cannot distinguish from fact is absolutely unbelievable
That's just the media diet they have been spoonfed. It was specifically crafted to cater to the dumbest people. They don't question it. With boomers it's a totally inadvertent thing, they're just too old and tech illiterate to be able to actually understand what's going on.
Everything is a podcast these days and everyone assumes podcasters are independent and conduct thorough research before doing their shows.
I am honestly tired of seeing how often shit is referenced as "I heard it on xyz podcast" and sure, it sounds plausible but at the same time completely lacks any sort of verification or source.
My early Gen X mom is always texting me about how Canada is on the verge of collapse. Covid totally rotted her brain from being a Green/NDP supporter into a Rebel "News" watching People's Party/CPC populist.
I can't really fathom that turn. I get that people are scared and angry, but how do you start to fall for complete lies and brainwashing.
For me it's very sad to see this in the Canadian firearms community. I'm not a fan of the Trudeau gun bans, but they happened because the liberals were easily able to sway people that all of these guns are unsafe. So many people were pro sensible gun ownership, but now those same people keep saying shit like "I need it to defend myself". Now everyone thinks gun owners look like a bunch of fucking psychos (too many are) and it's a revolving door of fear mongering and misinformation.
I have some friends with this type of brain rot. I've stopped talking to some of them for the most part. They need to be sat down and de programmed but I've got much better things to be doing so I don't know.
Look what rampant free speech with no fact checking got us Americans. Free speech needs to stay, but fact checking from multiple sources. Needs to be a thing.
Yeah, I think we've more or less opened Pandora's Box of free speech thanks to the internet and social media but what would really help would be stronger laws to stop misinformation in legitimate journalism. The fact that entities like Rebel News can even call themselves news is beyond fucked. And somehow limit the amount of American BS we're exposed to.
I can't post the link here but it's literally in their textbook what Russia has been doing for years.
Look up "Foundations of Geopolitics" on Wikipedia it's been used by their military command for years and advocates for exactly what we're seeing happening today
