Schools across America are adopting PragerU propaganda videos as official school content.

American conservativism is so stupid it's shameless. The most important thing for conservatives is to indoctrinate children into their flavor of closedmindedness. It only takes a few years to indoctrinate a child, and a lifetime of work to undo. It's asymmetric warfare against truth and reality.

Of course universities have their own kind of progressive bias and ideology, but it's not nearly as anti-reality.

There is a new on-going war for corruption of social media influencers for political purposes. This war has only begun and will get worse in the years to come. You cannot trust any popular social media influencer or political commentator to not be receiving payment for their positions and opinions. Generally speaking, social media influencers and personalities have no epistemic nor ethical standards nor oversight. That means they will readily take money from political actors to covertly promote their agendas and ideologies.

Billionaires, interest groups, and foreign governments are going to pay lots of money to purchase social media influencers. There are going to be scandals in this domain over the coming years. As mainstream TV news media collapses in popularity, podcasters, YouTubers, TikTokers, Instagramers, and social media celebrities will become the new vectors of corruption. Money and power follows the eyeballs. Any social media personality with a million or more subscribers will be under great pressure to accept bribes for peddling political propaganda and there is no policing nor transparency for this. They will also rationalize it to themselves as for the greater good. So it's going to get bad.

Be careful — liberals and leftists are not above corruption. Corruption is not a conservative-only problem. But just imagine how much worse the situation is for conservative influencers. You can't trust a single one of them not to be bought because they are epistemically shameless.

As I've said for a long time now, alternative media is going to be more corrupt than mainstream media. And that's coming true. Because there's no accountability and these people are uneducated amateurs. At least many mainstream media people have journalism degrees and they have huge pressure from such a big spotlight. Meanwhile alternative media is a dark alley where ghouls and vampires jerk each other off in the shadows of relative obscurity. You cannot trust an average Joe TikToker to have journalistic integrity.

This dude made $35 million dollars selling fake fine wine from his kitchen.

To be honest, I kinda admire scamming millionaires with fake fine wine. Anyone pretentious enough to pay tens of thousands of dollars for wine deserves to be scammed.

See, without strict regulations you would not even know if someone pissed in your thousand dollar bottle of wine. And if you think people won't piss in your bottle of wine, you don't know people. The human mind is such a contraption that it will invent a way to piss in your wine while believing it is good for the world.
