America does not care about truth. Worse, it actively discourages truth.

Lying is accepted. Making up facts that suit your narrative and shouting down anyone who disagrees gets you rewarded with the highest position of state.

We, the rest of the world, are just watching you guys in horror.

[-] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 40 points 6 days ago

At Least half of us are basically watching in horror from inside.

America does not care about truth

Show me a country with social media and I'll show you people who value making their political opponents 'look like fools' by lying.

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 5 points 6 days ago

Almost like that people don't care about facts everywhere on the planet.

It's an tragic fact that correcting a lie is hugely more costly than making and spreading the lie.

[-] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 days ago

That basically sums up all of far right talking points

[-] vga@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 days ago

But not quite as tragic as me using the wrong article in a sentence this profound.

[-] taladar@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

Doesn't help that a significant number of modern media and platforms is optimized for content lengths that allow one but not the other (headlines, sound bites, micro-blogging, short-form videos).

[-] mke@programming.dev 33 points 6 days ago

This stupid bitch has since deleted the tweet and gotten back to it like it's another Tuesday. OSFM had to put out a statement correcting it. I hate people.

[-] wildcardology@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago

she deleted the original tweet, then reposted it again.

[-] mke@programming.dev 18 points 6 days ago

My bad, you're right. I tried to check first, but I didn't have the patience to scroll past her claiming America Is So Back because "Starbucks kicked homeless people out of bathrooms," so I ended up not seeing the reposted tweet.

She lies, runs away from OSFM, gets community noted, and still, in the replies:

Um, this is 100% TRUE and WOKE Oregon seems to be covering for WOKE California. Leftists stick together.

There are many people whose work and ideas I deeply respect, but even in my weakest moments, I couldn't possibly idolize them like this useless waste of oxygen does gargling on Trump's ballsack every day.

Because I'm a horrible person, I can foresee that there's zero chance I'll die before doing something monumentally stupid. My greatest shame is realizing it probably won't be as effective as what Luigi did.

[-] frezik@midwest.social 10 points 6 days ago

I wish leftists stuck together as much as the right thinks we do.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 15 points 6 days ago

You know how cheaters ruin online games? How their fun relies on fucking everyone, abusing the system and winning without respecting the rules? The same applies to people like her, trump, musk, etc. They're "communication cheaters", they don't respect the rules, they abuse the system, yet platforms want us to believe that they deserve to be treated like common users.

"Waah waah mah 🧊 🍑 waah waah censorship" - Fuck you. If free speech was a game, these people would be banned.

Why would known diarrhea fetishist Mila Joy say blatant lies on the internet?

[-] cultsuperstar@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Right wingers haven't cared about the truth for decades. It's just now they don't care whether we know it or not. Just think back to Trump's first term and "alternate truths" and all that. They don't care anymore. They believe what they want to believe, and no amount of facts or reasoning is going to change it.

But yes, everyone lies. Some people just more than others and some will lie to your face with a smirk on their face knowing damn well you know they're lying.

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

since they repealed the Fairness Doctrine (not that it was perfect) in the late 80s when they realized that balanced reporting was one of the things that forced Nixon's resignation

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 15 points 6 days ago

Bot? How do we know that isn't just another of Elon's alts?

I suppose somebody could check if she's called him a good father recently...

[-] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

AI is going to make misinformation a 100 times worse. There really needs to be laws with bot usage on social media and data privacy laws.

[-] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

This is something AI would be good for

Have it search for specific misinformation and reply with a canned response with sources using an official account.

[-] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago

Or someone can just train an AI to spit out more misinformation.

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 days ago

And so, the bot wars started

[-] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

We're years in at this point.

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 3 points 6 days ago

Dead Internet Theory and so.

[-] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 3 points 6 days ago

Or someone could train a bot to exaggerate misinformation from known liars

Community note: In fact, Oregon sent over 420 fire trucks but due to the rampage of the woke chupacabra and the cannibals of the northern California mountains, only 69 made it as far south as Sacramento. At that point California officials realized that Oregon actually sent minivans full of weed and spent the weekend hotboxing, using the Jewish space laser that started the fires on the "defrost" setting to heat up the marijuana.

[-] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Then it’s going to be AI vs AI

In this case the misinformation AI will be run by Musk’s sugar daddy Putin so it won’t get banned

[-] jatone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago

dont need AI for this. its why we have systems like webs of trust and peer verification. standard crypto + some social communication solves a lot of these problems.

Any one who believes it should heed her advice and get out.
