Divide and Filter: The mechanics of filtering as a weapon
This is nothing new and has been going on since halfchan. This is why pushing back against the shills is, unfortunately, necessary. To the point, pushing back against them and visually mocking them for their stupidity. We already know engaging them intellectually to get them to change their mind is a waste of time, since they are paid to do what they are doing. Just ignoring them is the same thing as giving tacit approval.
This is one of the reasons ''why the filter shills get the loudest when the shit is flying the heaviest. You can't push back against something you can not see. This can give an operator the opportunity to build a manufactured consensus around a flawed set of statements or compromised information, especially if enough of the regular user population is ''conditioned into using a programmatic filter.
WE have to protect our own turf… Or it is not our turf.
WE have to make sure that visitors know what we expect in our house… Or it is not our house.
WE are responsible for mocking bullshit that we know is bullshit. If not, then we are tacitly agreeing with it.
Generalizations about ''anything'' are not compatible with MAGA; It's what got us to this juncture to begin with. Only Patriots v Traitors matter. Good v Evil.
Literally anything else is a shill trick to divide us.
