I'll take it one step further: what if the psyop is for everyone to worry about their social credit score and adopt all kinds of workarounds to remain anonymous, to fear the state, to fear being caught, to only do things in the shadows and never speak out against them openly?

You kind of saw that with Trump’s election. In 2016 and 2020, you would be pilloried in polite circles for advocating for Trump. Now, only the most brainwashed segment of society still cares, and everyone feels like they can say what they want again.

And yet — I still hear the blackpillers arguing that this is all a trick, that you’ll say what you want, and it’ll get sucked up by AI and put on your permanent record. Be careful, VERY careful about speaking your mind, IDing yourself.

Maybe, or maybe that’s yet another psyop to shut you up, retain power.

It would be a somewhat risky strategy for them. You can always remain or become anonymous on the centralised platforms. They are still very much censoring people on x and redefining what they deem to be free speech, "freedom of reach, etc.". One topic is more censored than most.

I think the trick is re-establishing trust of trump, using the other side of the uni party to get people into supporting the state with the illusion they are opposing it by backing trump. Same goes for Zuck doing a marketing tour on the 'alt' platforms. It's a game of earning back some trust before the next rugpull.

We’ll see, but I think the difference in the people like me (and many others) who voted for Trump, if he capitulates he’ll lose the support totally. IMO it wasn’t a cult, just a policy/common sense vote. Very few are buying the Zuckerberg pivot, for example. No one has forgotten.

I'm not sure, I've seen a lot of split sentiment about Zuck, hard to quantify it for me. It's like doctors who first went along with everything and then years later backtracked and attempt to become leaders of the opposition to some degree. I think they shouldnt be demonized in perpetuity, but at the same time they shouldn't be elevated to any sort of 'leadership' positions in the space given their inability to identity an obvious lie early on.

Trump has capitulated on many things that I deem unforgivable, but I do understand people giving the him the benefit since there is more nuance (and bullshit) than we are willing to admit to. I think it's the people who don't evangelise him, such as yourself, who are less likely to be fooled if he changes his stance on some key issues in the future.

yeah, I already fell for Obama's bullshit in 2008, did not vote in 2012. Zero interest in Trump the person, just the policies.
