teknoman2 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 1 8 The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder. -Teknoman2- What? You thought it was a quote from some well known wise guy from the past? Stupidity leads to willful ignorance - willful ignorance leads to hope - hope leads to sex - and that is how a new generation of fools is born! We are hardcore role players...

But hey, hypocrisy is the only thing you can count on when it comes to politics. From my understanding, it's the type of meddling that's vastly different. The "meddler proof" in regards to Biden relates to electoral fraud in specific false votes, dead votes and the like. Mail in ballots not being fake, recounts actually being valid, etc. The "Russian meddling" query relates to social media manipulation, email hacking and revealing/faking scandals to cause people to react and vote for someone else. You can report what people are talking about without saying that what they are talking about is false or fact. Then people see it on their news feeds, hear reporters discussing it, and automatically it gets shifted into the mental box of "its a true thing because people are talking about it." If you use Facebook algorithms to keep feeding specific stories to social groups you can affect the way they behave. So I wouldn't classify it as direct hypocrisy there. Still, onto other things... 2 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bugarup Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 What Rathe said - there is difference between meddling (see Russian bot farms activity in social media) and forgery (see any Russian "elections" of past decade at least) . Anyway, political humor, well, differs in quality recently, but I think this one's not that bad: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
