Nick ,

Perhaps a nightmare?

 

The intriguing aspect of what has happened worldwide, is that reaction is
focused on the "Elites"

An Italian Political Scientist suggested that the left and the right joined
forces for the first time to stop Renzi's referendum just as in Britain.

ister-matteo-renzi-1.21139

 

What are we not seeing.

 

The Dutch are laying charges of Hate Speech on Wilders.

But who are they and how can they be distinguished from the real elites.

Are the "Elites" the same as the shadowy "Bank-sters"

Anyone able to clarify, please do.

Dear FF's (Fellow Friammers)

 

Since the election, I have bothered you all, individually and collectively,
to consider, given the web's role in the balkanization of our political
discourse, what the web's role might be in knitting us back together again.


 

At some point in the last ten days, one of you sent me a link to a website
that was doing something like that.  I opened it, was amazed, intrigued, but
could not explore it at the time.  AND NOW I CAN NOT FIND IT.  

 

Does any of you remember what I am talking about?  Ah to have a pink brain
again.  

 

Nick

Sorry, Nick, I can't remember. Reminds me of a joke I just saw: "Well, if
smoking weed destroys your short-term memory, then what does smoking weed
do?"

Deliberate creation of "fake news" is a new trend that may have contributed to 
polarization of society, especially in poor countries at the edge of the first 
world like Macedonia 
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/macedonian-teen-claims-trump-supporters-paid-him-60k-to-produce-fake-news-during-campaign_us_584ac403e4b0bd9c3dfc51b7
On the other hand we have classic media like the NY Times or Huffington Post to 
distinguish between real news and fake news, so it might just be an attempt to 
increase censorship and to constrain freedom of speech.
