Because of targeted social networks circles. The candidate to prop got a radicalized base, the candidate to lose got messaging that either indicated people should disengage (“Genocide Kamala!”) or were given the same sort of messaging in 2016 that made Hillary such a surefire win you didn’t even have to go to vote, because what’s one more vote (appeal to laziness). Cambridge Analytica’s successors were also armed with LLM AI as well as Big Data personal data identification this time around.

They clearly prepped up in case the votes didn’t go their way, but the post- truth politics paired with people who consider their social network fueled emotions more credible than the facts and merits of lifetime experts was more effective than they could have ever predicted, and this will mark the tendency for all future elections in our “democracies” were education clearly has had no long term impact.

It’s funny to see the different types of ideological bubbles on display. They really believe this.

Dying with thunderous “patriotism”. If there was a nuke that could paint the affected area in an American flag, it would be used.

The problem isn’t the values. The values don’t matter when they are complete fiction and tailored for bubbles. The problem is that Cambridge Analytica has served as a basis for what to do, not as a basis for what not to do, and societies and democracies are getting treated like cattle with the biggest giveaway being the world richest man outright buying a social network and abusing it as he has and the people who should be most aware and reactive to it acting like if it isn’t a core portion of the problem.

And all the better that the animals in the animal farm fight against each other lest they realize whom they are a victim of.

You must be making a lot of money with your comment.

That is women literally choosing the bear (by not voting or who voted Trump, same thing).

Moron says things that reveal he doesn’t even know the country of who he’s speaking about. You are a complete utter moron, a complete utter fool, and frankly, utterly disgusting. Go fuck yourself, you self admitted troll. Mods and admins who look at this comment, do yourself a favor, look at his profile and ban him. Ban me too, but I’m not going to respect shit like him.

Some people need social networks and a large number of users to create the bubbles of ideology they eventually become trapped in. Some people are capable of doing that all by their lonely self.

Funny how those talking points mirror the ones Russian troll factories would try to push inside their respective bubbles.

Now is time for the “well, if we don’t develop it first, the bad guys will” superpower to show itself off, I guess.

People who don’t care about geopolitics are the ones who immediately turn to nationalist rhetoric when those geopolitics begin affecting them.

You said the rest of the world doesn’t care, the lemmy downvote count determined that to be a lie.

Look on the bright side, late night political humor is going to get more interesting. They are putting RFK Jr in charge of key public health industries, which is going to create an entertaining amount of karma.

I do hope that the US is able to rush some Ukraine aid, but it does look like Europe is also going to have a hard road ahead. This isn’t just Trump winning out, it is a form of undermining democracies winning out, and it will continue to spread much quicker now.

Why do people from Europe go and build monuments and luxury in Saudi Arabia?

Money. Same answer in the US.

The US is an oligarchy, as attested to by this Oxford study. To answer your question, mostly yes, hence places like “Silicon Valley” and institutions like the electoral college.

Depends on your country/state. Ask him to redo that section of the video to leave your presence out of it to respect your privacy. If it affects you negatively in any way and puts you at risk, that is also something you can sue for.

I personally am a fan of being able to record any situation you might want to hold people liable to, but another thing completely is spreading it irresponsibly through social networks as a hit piece for an idea that you want to disseminate a biased and caricaturized version of an interview to represent, specially when they might not even be representing themselves in any capacity. I don’t think they need to take their video down, they just might need to obfuscate your face and voice on request.

Recording and public dissemination of that recording through social networks are quite different concepts.

They said yes because most are only looking at a rose colored picture of Trump. A lot of effort has gone into identifying the different ideological bubbles and catering an image of Trump specifically tailored for them, in the way only money can. We will likely never know to what extent given how fast transparency has been disappearing.

Nope! Gotta grab them by the pussy without consent while bullying and shitspeaking anything that you dislike even mildly!

Such a bullshit comment. There was an interview of an elderly woman who said she had switched to Trump from voting democrat because he had built things like his hotel and casino and what the US needed was a builder. People are getting stuck inside of their social network bubbles and not bothering to look outside, while we are also enabling the manipulation of social networks on a whole other level (Elon Musk, X) instead of fighting disinformation and bringing in the sort of controls that television networks once had to be liable for.
