flamingoslps.bsky.social @flamingoslps.bsky.social · 02/02/2025Blame the liars, not the ones lied to. Haven't we all been fooled somewhere along this dire path? Fooled into thinking our enemies are our fellow victims? Focus on who has been fooling us. 000
flamingoslps.bsky.social @flamingoslps.bsky.social · 02/02/2025DT's oligarchical puppeteers love to see us blaming each other--they even love to see us blaming DT, their puppet--for everything they are doing to us. Have you noticed how every time we start to unify behind a cause--Ukraine, LA--the trolls identify where a wedge will go and then drive it deep? 020
flamingoslps.bsky.social @flamingoslps.bsky.social · 02/02/2025DT's puppeteers have maneuvered us into this position by convincing ALL of us that other Americans are our enemies. So now oligarchical dictators get to smash our nation while we point fingers are one another. 000
flamingoslps.bsky.social @flamingoslps.bsky.social · 02/02/2025DT is a puppet. We need to stop focusing on him and look for the puppeteers. When we know who they are and what they want and how they got us to this point, we have some chance of fighting our real adversaries. 010
flamingoslps.bsky.social @flamingoslps.bsky.social · 02/02/2025It turns out all you need to do to destroy a democracy is convince the people to vote for a dictator, by lying to them. Who wanted this democracy to fall? Who benefits from, say, Ukraine losing its key support? Who else has engineered the electoral takeover of a nation by a dictator? 000
flamingoslps.bsky.social @flamingoslps.bsky.social · 02/02/2025@hcrichardson.bsky.social @rbreich.bsky.social Yes the turmoil is to distract us but FROM WHAT is the key. We are watching a show put on by a puppet. We need to focus on who put that puppet in place and how it was done. Only then will we have some chance of figuring out how to push back. 000
flamingoslps.bsky.social @flamingoslps.bsky.social · 08/12/2024Paraphrasing for brevity: Misinformation evokes more outrage than real news, and users are more willing to share outrage-evoking misinformation without reading it first.
