Sorry it's a few days late, I just saw this and thought it was really interesting.

The concerns are true but if people leave Twitter for Bluesky it's still an improvement because Elon uses the algorithm to boost far-right content and he has your data.

I feel this is really the most important answer here. We must break the false narratives that they use to hold power.

Yes, if that many people would do that it could make a huge difference

I kind of see your point there. My hope though is that maybe people could gain more empathy for each other by understanding that we are all human and I hope that one day people can understand each other's struggles.

Yes, this makes sense! Hopefully while doing so one could build a coalition that includes more and more people.

 

Here's a copy and paste from the 1933 article:

Rise in Stocks Reflects Confidence He Will Not Disrupt Nation's Affairs

Berlin is settling down to pass judgment on political developments. Politicians, economists and bankers declare there is usually wide discrepancy between the speeches of opposition politicians and the actions of the group when it gains power.

Consequently, it is not believed that Hitler will accomplish a change in the constitution or that [Reich Minister of Economics Alfred] Hugenberg will bring about a general reduction of interest rates. The government wants to obtain an adjournment of the Reichstag for several months, but it is questionable whether the Centre [Party] will approve of such action.

There are things we can do. Here's a very simple action you can take that will help. Whenever you see Russian propaganda that violates the rules of whatever social media platform you are using click the report button. It takes just a few seconds of your time and if you are lucky it will get taken down.

Another thing you can do is education. Tell anyone who is reasonable and will listen about what's going on.

 

Most people just want a good life. If we stopped seeing each other as the enemies the world could be better.

We must do everything we can to stop this. Please try contacting three of your friends who you think will listen but don't know what's going on and let them know. Kremlin propaganda is trying to get us to fight each other and undermine the US. So far it's been working but we have the power to stop it.
