  1. @ChrisMayLA6 Thinking more on it, the framing for the rest of the era was #bothsidesing the decline of the aristos.

    I can't see any way of bothsidesing the general strike. They would have had to pick a side, and thereby lose one big chunk of their audience or the other big chunk.

  2. Dara O'Briain once did a bit on how the #media did this false equivalence thing on all the soft-ish sciences like medicine, but thankfully not on the harder stuff, like physics & astronomy.

    It did not age well.

    Pretty sure he didn't imagine that 15 years in the future the #press would be actively & gleefully #bothsidesing f**king ANYTHING!, up to & including actual, current, observable reality.

    That whole 'We Deserve It for not doing XYZ' thing is such an abuser line

    It's spread by #bothsidesing pundits in corporate media to folks who aren't paying attention to
    #Gerrymandering
    #VoterSuppression
    #PushPolls & other dirty tricks
    #smfh 🤦🏻‍♀️ PeOpLe 🤦🏻‍♂️

  4. Rule #1 of counterdisinfo: DON'T PICK UP THE IDIOT BALL.

    That means, when the #GQP is rolling out one of their endless disgusting psyop nothingburgers, don't amplify it in the process of critiquing it.

    Don't fall for the false equivalency. If you hear yourself saying: "Well, yeah we really should find out why Biden had those classified documents." Or "You know we really should, at long last, get control of our borders, this can't continue."

    What you're doing is validating shit that has nothing to do with reality. It's ALL red herrings.

    Not even the most batshit republicans are remotely concerned about the contents of their #idiotballs.

    (Because they're all pure power plays.)

    They're designed to confuse and deflect.

    Depends on which "media." Ad-supported media thrives on #bothsidesing that keeps the $$$ flowing. But that's about to hit a wall.

    Once the #GQP shuts down our government and forces the US into debt default, trashing the economy--the inherent conflict between corporate #capitalism and #whitesupremacy will be laid bare.

    This national self-sabotage is not going to be pretty for anyone.
