NEW POST - RFK Jr. Is Replicating Bernie Sanders’ Sheepdog Play for MAGA I have come to suspect that RFK Jr. is playing a role similar to that of Bernie Sanders in the 2016 election. Bernie served as a “sheepdog,” using working class populism and “dissident” credentials to herd voters largely disillusioned with the establishment party candidates to vote for one, with the belief being that his endorsement of Clinton would somehow “push her left.” Now, RFK Jr. is using working class populist rhetoric and his Covid dissident credentials to herd voters disillusioned by Trump and Biden-era Covid policies into the Trump fold.

UH is now releasing short blog posts on a separate part of the site, in addition to our traditional focus - long form investigative articles. https://newsletter.unlimitedhangout.com/rfk-jr-is-replicating-bernie-sanders-sheepdog-play-for-maga/

UH members will get early access before the shorter posts become publicly available. Please consider supporting UH, you will not only be supporting my work but those of other UH contributors like Iain Davis, Mark Goodwin, Max Jones and Stavroula Pabst. https://unlimitedhangout.com/join

I'm not convinced. Sanders is pure politician. He offered nothing but more politics. RFK is primarily an activist in the environmental and pharmaceutical spheres, and what better way to raise one's profile and to be heard than to run for the presidency.

It became clear that RFK wasn't going to be "selected", so he found the next best way to retain his profile and possibly even some influence in the matters that concern him most - pharma, agrochemical and regulatory corruption.

To be sure, the corruption is on both sides of the unaparty, but who can make anything positive of a group so deeply mired as the Dems?

TLDR: I am labeled “antisemitic conspiracy theorist” & “woke”.

This is how strong & effective the propaganda, mind-control, brain washing machine is:

I am Jewish, Israeli. Granddaughter to holocaust survivors. My roots are both from Europe & Africa. My grandparents immigrated to Israel after WW2 with the hope to find a safe haven.

While I honor my heritage, I also boldly expose lies told to my ancestors, and Israeli/jewish society as a whole.

I am a dissident voice to the government & state, and I care about human lives of Israelis & neighbors.

I criticize the government & state, and point out how they steal from citizens, violate rights, exercise their monopoly on violence, and cause harms to innocent people who just want to live quietly and safely. I dare to also ask questions, research & speculate about the broader sets of interests & global powers driving this.

For that, I am being labeled “antisemitic conspiracy theorist” & “woke”.

Following that “logic”, my views risk all Jewish people in Israel & around the world. My views are “threat to Jewish lives” - because I say that the Israeli government does not have the best interest of the people, and is not really protecting them.

Propaganda 101.

The easiest scare tactic, and silencing method.

Yep, I am working on some ideas on how to fix it but it certainly isn't easy. I keep coming back to Libertarian ideas and balancing the budget. These are non popular ideas though as it means removing public services, but the only other option is continuing with the mess we are in.

Hawk 1y ago

Those ideas would have to include making war unprofitable.

“A cyberattack tied to the Chinese government penetrated the networks of a swath of U.S. broadband providers, potentially accessing information from systems the federal government uses for court-authorized network wiretapping requests.

For months or longer, the hackers might have held access to network infrastructure used to cooperate with lawful U.S. requests for communications data, according to people familiar with the matter, which amounts to a major national security risk. The attackers also had access to other tranches of more generic internet traffic, they said.”

If you’re against voter ID you don’t get to claim that people need to vote for your party’s candidate to “save democracy.”

Anyway, hope everyone is having a nice Saturday.

To vote at all is simply to endorse the system. And never forget that the president represents the government and not the people.

Being a mesh network, range is potentially global as sufficient user-base develops.

The government takes almost HALF of what you earn through various taxes.

The government DEVALUES the money you manage to save by printing more out of thin air (inflation).

AND THEY STILL SOMEHOW DONT HAVE ENOUGH FUCKING MONEY TO TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN FUCKING CITIZENS.

THIS IS FUCKING UNACCEPTABLE AND YOU SHOULD BE FUCKING PISSED OFF.

If “accidentally checked notifications when non-important people comment but they’re still fresh” qualifies, then sure.

And I do tend to get provoked on repetitious thematic items. People who do the “reply guy” thing for 25+ cynical posts in a row on any medium start to look like losers. I’m usually nice for like five times and then after that I’m like, “this is either a retard or someone purposely trolling.”

I don’t want you to look like a loser, Frank. You’re here on Nostr persistently and don’t even like bitcoin. That’s fine. That’s why I haven’t muted you yet but probably will soon like I do with bots increasingly, since you’re almost as predictable as bots now. I only mute bots and pseudo-bots.

Instead, I invite you to emotionally redirect however you see fit and recalibrate as a real person as though us Nostr folks were meeting in real life.

Because I highly doubt, if we had a Nostr meetup, you’d talk to me in person as you do here. I’ve had more meetups with people here than you probably have. In the flesh. I’d talk to you nearly the same in person as I do here. And I meet so many online critics at major events that become polite pussy cats face to face. Most enemies that tend to be the weird “online only” enemies tend to be way more polite in person.

I start out with the *shocking* notion that we are all real people having a virtual conversation online. I keep underestimating how inhuman most people get when they are distanced from social impacts face to face and so forth. They become weaker versions of themselves, and thus become ignorable not-like entities amid the bots.

That’s how I view you. I think and hope in real life that you’re a stronger and broader version of the narrow cynic you present on Nostr, because nobody who bothers to be here this long is as pathetic as your persona in real life. It would be sad if that was a real view. You’re better than what you present.

And yet, my weakness is that I resist the urge to mute unimportant people because I keep hoping that they will undergo the hero’s journey or “adulthood” and start acting in virtual world similarly to how they act in real life.

We're all biased in one way or another - every single one of us, and that's a good thing. Others challenge our biases, and we challenge theirs. That's a good thing. It expands our understanding of how the world works.

Systemic bias on the other hand, is engineered to force a particular understanding, and that's obviously a bad thing. Systemic bias is engineered by a system such as a corporate or political entity. Curated Twitter or Farcebook feeds are examples of engineered bias.
