‘Fake news’ is just a string of syllables that mean ‘thing people say is bad’. Just like the word ‘Nazi’. There isn’t any real understanding there, it’s like a parrot saying ‘Polly want a cracker’.

We are being ruled by Markov networks trained on cable news.
That last sentence is goddamn gold.

Snark of this caliber should not be ignored:
With this excellent new tool, I’ll be able to have my computer pre-filter my trolling to make sure it’ll get past the mods! This is great!
Before, my complete assholery would often shine through the surface, allowing people to easily see through my tone and concern trolling. But with this amazing new technology, Google’s got my back! Never again will I start random racist and sexist rants in the middle of a long bad-faith diatribe meant to waste your time and elicit angry responses.

Good post, on topic while also adding new ideas (and avoiding the disparagement of religion that doesn’t further the conversation, which caused a number of posts just prior to be flagged). Basically, it threaded the needle well:
I don’t think these people use ‘demonic’ etc metaphorically. They mean it literally. Living in a magical world.
I had a roommate in amway (or actually the offshoot, who’s name escapes me). Of course she was trying to recruit me (which was not going to happen), but I did go to one of their ‘retirement’ parties because, gosh, that sounded weird. It is the strangest event I have ever been to. It is also the only time I have experienced fanaticism from a large group of people first hand. It w…
