    This time is a little different.

    This time it’s happening the world over because the fascists are way ahead on using the Internet for propaganda. And they’re doing it more effectively and on a larger scope than radio ever did throughout its history.

    Social media is a propaganda machine that has been harnessed to gain control. One of the things they have gained control of is all other major media.

    And we all use it. Those who don’t can now get their information from Bari Weiss.

    The only reason we have a chance is that the truth makes a whole lot more sense. They do their best to insulate and inoculate those they’ve converted from those truths. But that should only go so far depending on the person.

    There’s only so many ways to keep convincing people the sky is green while others are trying to tell them it’s blue. (And yeah, it’s perfectly reasonable to want to scream it at them.)

      There was facism outside of Germany in the 1930s too. There were facists in every single country.

      And what we also should do, is to move people onto sovereign, left-headed social media. Outreach and deradicalisation.

        I think the only real “solution” is to have smaller, verified communities. You have to know the people you’re interacting with are real people.

        I don’t believe this is something you can do fully anonymously. Someone has to verify you belong.

        I’ve thought about creating a Lemmy instance limited to my neighborhood, but I’m not sure how to do a verification scheme yet. I know how Nextdoor does it.

          anonymity is important because the internet is a wild west and any verification scheme that connects an account to a real person and their location sounds like a prime target for hackers. we have already proven this with k-id and the like.
