I know it's been said before, but current events have helped me to understand something I could never previously fathom: how an absolute charlatan and maniac like Hitler managed to convince so many people!

Look how many would believe you if you had a platform & starting claiming foreigners were making you poor and taking all the jobs on a large scale. You then get into power and made all foreign nationals wear special badges of disgrace in public and then employed secret police to make their lives hell. Offer incentives for the public to spy on foreigners and reward them to grass if say more than one foreign family lived in a home or whatever. Wouldn’t take long.

Must say it's quite funny watching Trump desperately try to peddle Teslas to his base of F150 loving petrol-heads who will never go electric whilst the actual Tesla buyers are just going elsewhere in their droves.

I saw the other day that there were fewer than 150 retail (as opposed to fleet/business) Tesla SALES (as opposed to registrations) in the UK in February. Not sure what that number is down from, but it's very small!

Creating mistrust in the experts is one of the pillars of right wing propaganda leading to this situation.
Many people bought into this with their dismissal of the main stream media 'we've had enough of experts' etc.
The manipulation is incredible but what is really astounding is the confidence with which people highlight their blind ignorance and consider themselves experts.

This is what is called 'free speech' in this twisted new reality!!

His numbers dont add up to start. He is claiming 12.5k impressions after 12 hours yet most his posts after a day or 2 only garner around 1.5k to 2K.
This is before you factor in common search terms and if he has followers with large numbers of followers.
What he should of done was also post a tweet critical of Zelensky and compared the 2.

This is wrong. Scientist, scholars, economists and journalists have a range of views on a range of issues. The problem is the media picks ones that are more likely to repeat their world view. This is why the MSM is collapsing.
Also I cant find the source of the quote and neither can others looking for it(link below). This matters as the last part "Decades of fraud" breaches libel laws. A libel on Trump and NDT.
Let's take a topic like, say, climate change.
99% of scientists and environmentalists generally have an agreement, a consensus if you will on what the reality of the situation is.
What the alt-right endlessly do is amplify the other 1% on issues like climate change and then disingenuously suggest that there is split opinion on the matter.
There isn't. 99% of experts believe one thing, and then 1% (almost ALWAYS with a vested interest - ie links to fossil fuel companies) is paid to promote another thing.
Hard to know who to believe isn't it?!

When someone posts a meme which is fake, libellous, and both parts are wrong and has it pointed out to them and then you come back with that?
The chutzpah!
Great team work!
Nope. Look at what I've quoted from you.
I was answering purely to that. Nothing to do with any meme.
