    As always, follow the money. Those in power want more and more money and in order to do so they need to control the population. If there is one remaining social aggregate that can foster sentiment against them, they will come down hard on it. Reddit became a corporation like Facebook and then now they want to add Reddit to the list of social aggregates they control.

      i love how they were scrambling to rein in the conservative audiences of these msms, and social media early on in the manhunt of luigi. the grifters kept quiet for a whole month before they were able to reorient thier strategy to divide “left” vs right again.

      It’s an addiction, like being addicted to heroin. We should have done an intervention long ago, but the addicts are running the show. And capitalism seems to favor and promote the addicts so we have a feedback loop that I fear cannot be stopped.
