FAKE NEWS

Hopefully Glenn Greenwald will dig something up. I don't like the guy, but he has a high powerlevel.

He is a leftist but don't underestimate the guy, he is a very efficient journalist

Could buzzwords like Neo-McCarthyist

God fucking damn it, hit New Reply too soon.

Could buzzwords like Neo-MacCarthyist gain a lot of traction?

They can if you anchor it like this.

"This is turning into a witch hunt, a resurgence of MacCarthyism. With this neo-MacCarthyist mindset blah blah sets out to…"

Many people wouldn't understand what MacCarthyism means, but they do understand a witch hunt, so draw a direct line for the ones who aren't curious enough to look up the meaning.

Greenwald is the shit. There was much neocon kikery during Bush admin that Greenwald called out on Salon

And so a new idea is birthed.

Ok, so PropOrNot is a big enemy on the horizon.
We know better than to fight it conventionally, trying to convince people that they're lying and the world is upside down.
Somebody ask Scott Adams what to do.

In the meantime, let's try to figure it out for ourselves. Let me think out loud for a bit.
We're not in a bad position. We won the election without the press.
Press is using its tier 1 status to call the tiers below it fake news.

Basically, every time we show someone an article, they'll tell people we're lying. That it's all just lies. Options?
1. Tell the truth. Tell people they're lying, we're telling the truth. (Conventional, won't work based on what we learned this year.)
2. Show them a bunch more articles that tie in to each other, a whole fleet of articles at a time. Try to show them that there's a world that exists with or without them.
3. Forget about articles entirely. Abstract away from the content of articles, use what we've learned: meme magic. Sway them to our side by humor and hidden logic. Only then will they see the world as we do. Articles we show them will only form a message as far as who's writing them and with what message.

Ok, that's the one. We'll have to ditch articles once they clamp down on press power. This will push us further into meme magic.

And personally, I feel pretty comfortable with that…

This is just 50% of the variable, there must also be a face to face, teeth to teeth fight on this, that is how you get the press to actually develop a bad reputation, they will be paranoid thinking they need to fight an alternative press that is trying to take their place and will commit many mistakes in the process of doing so.

In fact the suggestion that there are organizations plotting to discredit the establishment press creates a "theory of chaos" effect, where the press itself start to talk about such opponents giving importance and in the process they reveal their own issues to a bigger audience.

Could it be the Google project that was talked about? The server is a google one.
