George Santos has some fishy receipts on his campaign expense reports.

      There is a 1942 government video called *Hemp for Victory* which told Americans how to grow "Marihuana" to defend our country during World War II.
      The film became public in 1990 after 45 years of government and media censorship. It's now 2023 and most Americans have still never heard of *Hemp for Victory,* even as millions of Americans vote in red and blue states alike to "legalize" Cannabis Sativa.
      So, every US President since World War II, both Democratic and Republican, has lied to the American people to continue "Marijuana" prohibition and the war on drugs, and the American people can see video proof of the US government's lies at any time of day for free on an official US Federal government website, but no one cares.

      Yes, they should be. But the issue is bigger than this.
      The social networks have to decide whether they're going to get into the business of moderation. For one, that opens up the floodgates of scrutiny over what they're moderating, why, whether there's a right and wrong answer at all, whether they're doing it in a fair and unbiased way, and how deep are they willing to go? If a school board committee member decides to run for their seat, does Meta need to fact-check their claim over having eaten oatmeal that morning? Clearly that's an intentionally silly example, but where _is_ the line?
      Now, consider that Meta's products are used world-wide. Do they fact-check ALL elections, or just US ones? What if they decide only to care about US elections? Or US and Canada? Or US, Canada, and Brazil? What meets the threshold of relevance? What does that say about elections in places they _don't_ fact-check? How does that affect the balance of power in those areas? How does that affect the balance of power globally?
      This isn't a simple problem, and the simplest answer may just be to opt out entirely, and take their finger off the scale. Even then, as Geddy sang in Freewill, "if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice." The rather sudden introduction of tech has opened a Pandora's Box, and we're going to be faced with the repercussions of that for some time.

      If fact-checking creates an imbalance in power between parties, then it should be noted that one side relies on misinformation.
      Just so you're aware.. not everyone knows who Geddy is. Kind of a weird reference to drop, as if that dude is some sort of fountain of wisdom (he isn't). You're lucky I'm a musician and understood.. But no, I've never heard the song you mentioned.

    "The fundamental problem of political philosophy is still precisely the one that Spinoza saw so clearly (and that Wilhelm Reich rediscovered): Why do men fight for their servitude as stubbornly as though it were their salvation?" ~ Gilles Deleuze
    "It was one of the greatest errors in evaluating dictatorship to say that the dictator forces himself on society against its own will. In reality, every dictator in history was nothing but the accentuation of already existing state ideas which he had only to exaggerate in order to gain power.
    The fascist mentality is a mentality of the subjugated "little man" who craves authority and rebels against it at the same time. Hitler repeatedly stressed that one could not get at the masses with arguments, proofs, and knowledge, but only with feelings and beliefs.
    The fact that Hitler was a political genius unmasks the nature of politics in general as no other fact can. We must get into the habit of paying strict attention to precisely what the fascist has to say and not to dismiss it as nonsense or hogwash.
    Now we have a better understanding of the emotional content of this theory, which sounds like a persecution mania when it is considered together with the theory of the poisoning of the nation.
    In brief, the goal of sexual suppression is that of producing an individual who is adjusted to the authoritarian order and who will submit to it in spite of all misery and degradation. . . The formation of the authoritarian structure takes place through the anchoring of sexual inhibition and sexual anxiety. Fascism is the frenzy of sexual cripples."
    Wilhelm Reich, The Mass Psychology of Fascism: Third Edition
    "Have you noticed all the misogynistic teenage Trump trolls online? What does it say about the Trump era that young incels feel nothing but hatred for women and can't find it in their heart to say one kind thing about a female? What happened to this country?
    Hitler’s Nazi mob didn’t think of themselves as the bad guys. They thought of themselves as the victims of evil foreigners. Just like Trump’s MAGA mob. Fascist propaganda demonizes minorities, to brainwash the working class.
    Fascists use patriotism and religion to manipulate dumb people. Fascist propaganda works best on the dumbest of the dumb. They don't know when they're being lied to. That's why it's no coincidence that the MAGA death cult are the dumbest people in America."

    I've reported fraudulent and scam accounts to Meta and they respond with "the account wasn't taken down because we determined it didn't violate community rules." Yep, guardrails work so well on Meta. LOL

    GDP going up 2.9% is totally predictable to anyone who understands Keynesian economics. We invested in infrastructure, after neglecting it for 50 years thanks to Conservatives blocking progress. That bill fueled job creation and economic growth. Now pass the remainder of the Build Back Better bill AND the Green New Deal, pass the anti-price gouging / anti-monopoly legislation that Katie Porter wanted completed to tackle the real cause if “inflation”, restore Glass-Steagal, and end these dumb market crashes that we’ve had ever since Reagan started tearing down the post-Depression financial regulation architecture that prevented Wall St crashes for the prior 50 years, and ALL WILL BE GOOD.
