Isnât there a version where this chick was sleeping around with three wiseguys and she told her cuck husband that she got pregnant by God and that she was actually still a virgin?
And yes, I am deducing if you are making a lot of money and live/work in those areas, that you are smart/educated/intelligent/whatever-you-wanna-call-it.
Iâm not comfortable comparing child porn to the president tweeting, but Iâm sure all youâd really need are a few keywords and you could find it easily. There was a comedian on a podcast I was listening to a couple months ago and she started an organization to get child pron off Twitter and I remember her saying that of 10 CP related accounts she alerted them to, after about a month, 6 of them were still active. Twitter cares more about taking down Alex Jones than they do child porn. Let THAT sink in.
Miria is right though, they do what they do because their userbase demands it, better or worse.
The problem with that is, there IS no real market because of the way big tech has proliferated. Twitter and Facebook are the only real players in the game as far as social media is concerned, and even with conservatives creating their own platforms (and letâs remember when people would get booted from FB or Twitter and folks would say, âWhy donât you create your own platform then?â) big tech companies are squashing those alternatives when the same things they cite as reasons to get rid of them can be found on the left leaning platforms. Itâs anti competitive and basically censorious.
King has posted a link already, iâm on mobile right now. What do you make of the fact that the majority of your demographic vote Donald Trump even the educated ones.
Wasnât Facebook created after Myspace? I can see the competitive landscape as an issue, but these companies found a way to monetize you (the data that is). Itâs all about money at the end of the day. Remember when Coke was about to pull a crapton of money out of ad revenue because of the way FB was doing a few things?
Ok, but why? White men make up roughly 33% of the population, so college educated white men is like, 15-18% of the vote? Why does that matter so much?
Also, it was in there, biden and trump split the white male vote.
I donât understand what youâre trying to say here⌠They split the vote. Are you trying to say that white menâs votes are more valuable and logically sound than other votes?
If there is one thing Iâve learned since 2016 itâs that polls donât mean jack shit.
I also mention that having college degree isnât what I am referring to. Iâm referring to people who have high paying jobs in a high cost of living area regardless of being college educated or not.
As I menitoned, âeducatedâ probably was not the right word on my part on my initial post.
I personally know plenty of people who never even went to college but are making 300k+ a year in businesses they started. On the flip side I know tons of people who went to college then ended up becoming fire fighters, cops, personal trainers, etc, that donât even use their degree. So yeah, wrong choice of wording on my part.
It considerably shrunk, and if we donât consider just males then a slim majority of white people with college degrees voted for Biden this time. Together with the loss of the suburbs are some of the most important changes in these elections.
It is. But you have to consider that these social media companies (hell, corporations in general) operate a lot like the government. If they think something is a big deal and could lead to bad optics, they have the will to change it, if itâs not and it wonât, theyâll probably let it slide.
It was. To me the problem with this is that so much social discourse happens on these sites these days that if you tell someone, âNo, you dontâ get be a part of thisâ youâre almost exiling them from society in a sense. Itâs not like someone who gets banned from Facebook really has any other viable option as far as where to go from there.
And itâs absolutely fucking crazy to me that these companies have so much power that they can even silence the president of the United States. Iâm not making a judgement call on whether he should or shouldnât have been banned, just that he now has no way to directly communicate with people as a result. And to me thatâs nuts and is way too much power for any corporation/organization to hold imo.
Iâd tread carefully there, we just bore witness to four years of simply being âwell connectedâ paying dividends. At an institutional level, anecdotally, Iâve seen plenty of fantastically inept people in positions theyâre objectively unqualified for thanks to connections, and the social cachet that afforded them.
Meritocracy would be great, if it werenât being scammed by wealthy and well connected unqualified people in the US. Demonstrable evidence of ability, rather than who you know.
Winner Takes All by Anand Giridharadas and Dream Hoarders by Richard Reeves are both worth reading.
