How does melding with them, submitting to their rules and protocols - under their technical thumb - as our new media powerhouses (Facebook and Google); fit into any scheme seeking to be an alternative? <br />Are there any traditionalist conservative, or simply non-modern liberal modern media companies? TradCons are everywhere, in almost every realm, on the outside trying to regain a foothold in a civilization in which they were more generally once the norm. <br />Academia is the incubator where most of modern liberalism's strategies, tactics and expertise was fertilized and nurtured. Academia seems to be the ground zero where traditional conservatives appear at their weakest. <br />Buck Onoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-67954160917915649002017-04-25T11:39:38.226+10:002017-04-25T11:39:38.226+10:00It's important to sleep well and have a positi...It's important to sleep well and have a positive attitude.

Aside from being somewhat ahead in the general western suicide race, it is also a VERY high tech place.<br /><br />Next year is a general election and the MSM and the state are sure to go all out against alternative media. At the same time, you have many world class IT guys with almost anarchistic views. Some of them are also seriously rich.<br /><br />As just one example, they guy that created Minecraft has been involved in some heated twitter debates on the anti-feminist side. He sold his company for 2.5 billon USD not that long ago, so he has the money to fund just about anything.<br /><br />Unlike in the US, the tech guys are not really part of the establishment in Sweden, even if they are billionaires. They are more basement dwelling nerds and gamers. And often they have fanatical views about freedom on the net.<br /><br />Time will tell, but I do think that there will be interesting tech developments coming relatively soon, that will counteract the spreading censorship that is happening now.<br /><br /><br />EuroSwedenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-66185723043851963222017-04-21T13:47:23.665+10:002017-04-21T13:47:23.665+10:00But can we rely on the permanence of such an alter...<em>But can we rely on the permanence of such an alternative media?</em><br /><br />The alternative media is tolerated at the moment because it gives the masses the illusion that they still have some political freedom.

I don't know there is much we can do except point out the hypocrisy and naked will to power of these moloch worshipping corporates.<br /><br />To get 'Zucked' means to be censored by the Facebook overlords. There is surely an analogous word for being summarily dismissed from Twitter for angering the wrong people. I guess Google will be next to FACT CHECK! their opponents into silence.<br /><br />Governments also realise the power of censorship in this sphere, as the French discovered recently when Facebook shut down 30,000 "fake news" accounts on demand in preparation for national elections. This reminds of me something I learnt about Iran. Satellite television is ostensibly forbidden, but not much is done about breach of this rule, and people buy satellite dishes and watch satellite television without much fuss. Come election time this changes, and the rule is rigorously enforced (so I'm told), and many satellite dishes are confiscated. Once elections are over people simply buy a new dish and 'normality' is restored.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03449974719371426423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-68659897844406635692017-04-21T02:20:13.185+10:002017-04-21T02:20:13.185+10:00Dear Mark,

At present there is already a mild, but ever increasing pruning, persecution and belittling under the pretext of removing ‘fake news’. If Google/Youtube, Facebook, Twitter and the rest should decide on a drastic root and branch censorship, or even total extinguishing, of the alternative media, is there an alternative platform upon which they could be based and which is free from the threat of corporate interference? <br />I fear there is no such refuge, and soon we shall stand at a point where ‘Judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter’ (Isaiah 59/14).<br />The voice of truth will be silenced in our lands.<br />What then? And how shall we prepare for such a day, which is surely coming?<br />PS: This is a genuine question and I would very much like to hear from anyone who knows better than I do about the scenario I have sketched out above. Is there any protection from such a disaster?<br />SonofMoseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00863806423273855526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-45541650932345830212017-04-20T01:24:19.515+10:002017-04-20T01:24:19.515+10:00I've just spent my time refreshing my memory o...I've just spent my time refreshing my memory on the Khmer Rouge and also Mao's Great Leap Forward and it really brought home to me how Leftism today is very different from Leftism back then. Back then it was stern stuff. Killing millions to implement a project was calmly discussed and contemplated by Leftist leaders whereas today the death of a single person can influence policy.<br /><br />I am beginning to see that the core philosophy of modern Leftism is a sort of secular Christianity -- Jesus's morality without the religious trappings. Since a major component of this philosophy is non-judgmentalism, it makes it hard to do social science because analyzing is a sort of judging.
