It's old news that fascism is on the rise but I can't be the only one that is suspecting there's a deliberate push by social media companies at this point? Twitter might be obvious but I'm also seeing more and more things on places like youtube getting tons of views that wouldn't have been allowed to stay up a couple years ago, picrel for example. Instagram reels being full of nazi content and its comment sections being bombarded with racism is something that's become infamous but that seemed to have happened almost overnight.
>>2555799And China the big rich AES state isn't doing anything about it
>>2554839 >>2555799I can understand why big business and the media would want to drive disgruntled white men to the right and coax a fascist backlash, but I dunno why academics and activists were so eager to help. I guess they thought it would never rebound on them.
I'm pretty sure YouTube was caught doing it long before twitter.
The ruling class is playing both sides. Theyre using the algorithm to spread both far right and far left in an attempt to create a civil war in which of course, the centrist ruling class will crush both sides and regain legitmacy.
It's all part of big tech's push to replace governments, no doubt they prefer the shock content to be fascist rather than communist, but the big take away is supposed to be
>my my, I didn't realise *this* was such a common feeling, the libertarians are right that we're overly censored to have missed this
and thus big tech leaders capitalise on their own dog whistle to now claim historic censorship was always against their personal values, the gubbermint forced them to do it, they feel just AWFUL to have participated in the cover up of oh so many social issues and now they're fighting back and letting the masses speak.
They're angling to replace the state with their own products.
>>2556082>Theyre using the algorithm to spread both far right and far leftAnd of course, far left as in ᴉuᴉlossnW and Ziggers.
>>2555799Silicon Valley is full of right-libertarians which are just Nazis who smoke weed.
They've been like this for decades, only difference is that now they don't have to hide it anymore. There's a deliberate push for normalization. They are gambling that Trump is establishing new norms and there will never be any blowback.
>>2555882They're not scared of Trump, they agree with him uncritically in most respects. Only thing they don't like is the tariffs. For the Silicon Valley/private equity vampires JD Vance would be the perfect president because he would do everything Trump is doing but dump the tariffs. Tariffs are a uniquely Trump quirk and not a core element of the larger right-wing project, he's been obsessed with them for his entire life.
AI moderation is fundamentally retarded but is still programmed to keep shit like this down given enough time and reports. Flightfromsyracuse's anti-Indian video was taken down in a week because everyone in Mumbai saw it and took it down in anger, I think the poop festival vlog did too. The problem is that YouTube AI mods are retards that flag simple basic words but still cannot take down propaganda in time before it reaches 100k views.
>Instagram reels being full of nazi content and its comment sections being bombarded with racism is something that's become infamous but that seemed to have happened almost overnight.
Didn't Intagram reels have a full day of gore or something?
This is just what happens when new untested "AI code" is added in. I wouldn't worry about it.
Dear mods please add Super Saging to /leftypol/ already threads like these don't require the catalog space. This barely even belongs on /isg/
>>2555799Is this not an admission that your views can only spread in carefully curated environment? What would happen to your movement if it was censored?
>>2555799It's only among white gen z, all the other races end up on the left, with the exception of some manoisphere stuff.
>>2556082american years of lead
>>2555799I said something similar in another thread, but 500k views is pitifully small in the grand scheme of things.
In general, outside of a few noteworthy exceptions like MrBeast, the vast majority of "influencers" aren't really "influencing" much of anything on a culture-wide scale.
>>2583367And Hispanic Gen Z
>>2584815That's the thing influencers are not celebrities and never will be because of how media works now. No one can be a Michael Jackson anymore. The fact that people even compared IShowSpeed to Michael Jackson shows people do not realize how big these celebrities are. So a lot of these influences are in niche communities
>>2555799At least for me the algorithms are pushing communist content. These companies care only about ad revenues not societal stability.
>Instagram reels being full of nazi content Thats because you have spent time online looking at nazi content so they push that shit to you.
>>2555799>It's old news that fascism is on the riseyeah bc liberals have been using the ghost of fascism to scare people into supporting liberalism for a century now :)
Gen Z kids don't have sex and they are on their phones all the time. It's not a surprise they are all fascists and liberals
>>2585101because the USA weren't dumb enough to l give self-determination to local LARPers,letting them recreate their spooky national identity. they just said everybody is american and murdered the natives enough that they can't claim the land either.
>>2585110i've never seen an nation with as much state independance and many times differing culture as the US anon.
>>2585192Yeah, nah. American states aren't nations with different languages. People in other countries sometimes project their own historical experiences onto the U.S. and think of Texas as like some potential separatist republic because you have some kind of quasi-national larping there to distinguish the brand, but nobody from here thinks of themselves as "not American." Also geographical cultural/political split today is urban-rural anyways and they fight over this contested idea of what "America" is.
What happened in a wide swath of the world is that several empires collapsed at the end of World War I and a bunch of new states formed out of that and most of them failed. The U.S. is not a new state, it's one of the oldest continuous constitutional systems in the world and the civic nationalist identity is deeply internalized and very strong. There are no big powers next to it that can take off chunks of its territory.
>>2584971You think Nick Fuentes is representative?
>>2555799It doesn't really matter. Your average slopbrained unorganized prole has less political power now than at any other point in modern history. Social media could brainwash them into being nazis but it won't lead to anything except maybe an uptick in lone wolf shooters. The real question is whether fractions of the national bourgeoisie are embracing anti-liberalism and race pseudoscience, since they actually have political power.
>>2585674>slopbrained unorganized prole has less political power nowAnd its going to get even worse with AI. A major collapse would benefit everyone except liberal status quo.
>>2555799>there's a deliberate push by social media companies at this point?no, they just gave up on trying to suppress it, all the suppression between 2017 - 2024 did was make trump and the far right more popular
If you de-platform trump from every media platform on the internet, then he gets re-elected anyway with a majority vote it becomes pretty clear which way the wind is blowing, shitlib censorship attempts just aren't tolerated anymore
>>2585674>The real question is whether fractions of the national bourgeoisie are embracing anti-liberalism and race pseudoscienceYeah, of course. Where have you been?
>It's old news that fascism is on the rise but I can't be the only one that is suspecting there's a deliberate push by social media companies at this point?
Why would anyone, anyone, assume:
>media outlets are politically neutral
>social media platforms are politically neutral
>think tanks and propaganda services aren't important
___
>but that seemed to have happened almost overnight.
Glad for you that it seems that way, but I've seen this shit since at least 10 years ago
>>2556171 It hasen't been mentioned, but instagram reels hosting fringe content started in 2021 when a report of tiktok's old algorithm came out and instagram realised it was 100 steps behind. They simply wished to become a sidegrade to tiktok not replace it, because they couldn't.
>>2588830tbh he isn't wrong about religioncucks
