RE: Fuck Steemit, Fuck the TOS and Fuck the Flagging?
I kinda gave up over the past few weeks on watching almost any news, preferring to get it here and reddit mainly(as bs can be downvoted/called out).
In general, the culture war is lost by the leftists. Too many free speech platforms popping up + tons of Alt Media starting their own shows with hundreds of thousands of followers/patreons/streaming/blah. Only a few million actual people watch CNN and what not. One personality on YT gets more views than CNN now.
Its over for them, but they won't go down without trying to stay relevant. Now is probably the best time in US history to get more media sources to the forefront and encourage critical thinking/truth seeking.
I agree with what your saying, they are definitely losing control of the narrative, but with the Tommy Robinson debacle, came a feeling of 'them' ratcheting it up a notch.
Like they know they are losing big time, and preparing to clampdown more...just my own feeling...
And their willingness to do physical harm must not be discounted.
Also, I don't see much clarity in the alt media; I see much confusion and anger. The alt narrative is fractured and, in the end, most people will shy away from doing anything, apart from feeling slightly better for their "five minutes of hate" directed at untouchable targets.
