It looks like it was skinnied up. It's an easy photoshop fix. You skinny the background people a little, but take him out and skinny him. It might have been layered against another background too. It looks like the equivalent of too much botox too me, but in reverse.
No intention, I was just curious. It's kind of crazy the dude shared all of that.
It's the capability. I try to be aware of marketing and the little psych games they play.
This reminds me of Nickelback hatred. Suddenly it was cool to hate them. It was like a switch had been turned on. Even if someone liked Nickelback they would put them in homes because the understanding was there. I try to be extremely skeptical but the anonymity of the internet makes it impossible to know if I'm talking to someone or merely one of the heads of a hydra.
letting corporations buy up all the current urban housing & turning everyone into renters, while you drive an hour outside any major city & there are open fields for 10s of miles between each house.
I think we're agreeing in that it's a class war more than anything else. If the poor class wasn't increasing by leaps and bounds, no one would need a change.
I like the "No Kings" slogan and I think our forefathers would agree.
The protests in LA were mostly peaceful, what do you think would have been the outcome if the protesters weren't? Trump is itching to declare marshall law and take over California, why do you think he's sending so many national guardsmen and marines? Be prepared for defense, but don't start shit.
Are you talking about the archive link? Most people don't understand. I reported someone for a personal attack and someone calling for war and the mod said I was trolling because I'm egging them on. Challenging people that are calling for violence isn't egging them on IMO. But whatever. This is going to be a battle if some of the mods are even being duped.
YSK - That there is a lot of trolling and brigading starting to happen around the LA peaceful protests to start violence. Here is a roadmap from 2015 on how they do it.
Once we isolate key people, we look for people we know are in their upstream -- people that they read posts from, but who themselves are less influential. (This uses the same social media graph built before.) We then either start flame wars with bots to derail the conversations that are influencing influential people (think nonsense reddit posts about conspiracies that sound like Markov chains of nonsense other people have said), or else send off specific tasks for sockpuppets (changing this wording of an idea here; cause an ideological split there; etc).
The goal is to keep opinions we don't want fragmented and from coalescing in to a single voice for long enough that the memes we do want can, at which points they've gotten a head start on going viral and tend to capture a larger-than-otherwise share of media attention.
(All of the stuff above is basically the "standard" for online PR (usually farmed out to an LLC with a generic name working for the marketing firm contracted by the big firm; deniability is a word frequently said), once you're above a certain size.)
Thanks, I hadn't come across that yet. Newsweek is hiding these kind of articles form their frontpage, I have no idea why. I appreciate you taking the time to source it well.
It depends on who did the cheating and how prolific it is in other states and counties.
