"Until the rise of podcasts, twitter, and the various forms of independent media / journalism, people weren’t really aware how legacy media was influencing their thinking. I think people are finally waking up and may surprise you here, especially if more talk about it."

New formats for funneling information that caters to your cravings is not what I’d call enlightened. And those who couldn’t spot clearly dishonest actors before — think they’re wide awake now? The Twitter bio behind that quote begins with “Groupthink averse.”
It would never occur to him that everything in that Tweet is Groupthink 101.
In your rush for #winning: At no point does anyone even bother to ask, “Is any of this working?” (as in making a measurable impact on the atmosphere of America). Anyone who dares to ask such questions — will be met with apathy, contempt, or the kind of half-ass effort that prompted this post. I borrowed the title from an article offering some great points I hadn’t thought of in my original version called The Substack Sector: Where I argue that the “scam” element goes well beyond monetary motives. The far more dangerous and destructive scam is how it’s yet another tool for deceiving yourselves.
It’s not the tool’s fault — it’s yours!
