| Wrung Out Lemon Nov 16, 2022 I've worked in IT for 30 yrs. Twenty of those years have been in the federal space. I saw in the mid 90's what we were capable of doing with the internet, large scale data collection and storage and smart applications, and it scared the heck out of me then. Today's tech is just orders of magnitude more powerful and the thought and analysis that goes into it is just so much more sophisticated. Video game companies use human behavioral specialists to analyze how get people's attention and make a game or app "sticky". They hire great economists to figure out how to structure in game incentives that lead people to pay more. Social media figured out long ago how to get people emotionally committed through little hits of dopamine from "likes" (social approval) and conflict. The system today is set up to manipulate you all the time. I can route you to places with information that I want you to see with people similar enough to you that you will desire their approval. I can feed you a string of such things that over time lead you to a place I want you to go, to accept an opinion that at the start you would not have approved of but have come to see as obviously correct and your own. Hitler used this technique with the German people to get them from indifference to Jews to agreeing with their being wiped out from Europe. He did not just come out and propose the final solution, he took time and moved in incremental steps, ramping up the rhetoric and proposals slowly, built a social narrative that pulled the larger society in its wake. Then, if that does not work, I can use the same methods to shame you or dox you. If the carrot of social approval online does not get you where I want you to go or you pose a threat to that, then I can use the stick. I can set mobs on you online. I can publish or allow to be published information about you in the real world. With today's tech, I can track you 24 hrs a day. I know when you go to the doctor and where just from tracking the location of your phone. I can tell when you get paid by your shopping habits and I can tell you have hemorrhoids by the fact that you were at CVS and used your discount card or credit card to purchase hemorrhoid cream. In fact, there is so much information coming in about you all the time, location, purchasing, call data, Google searches, EzPass, signals from your car, ....there is just SO MUCH, that a properly organized corporation or government agency with enough money can not only track you all day, every day, but can know you better than you know yourself. With that, they can and DO manipulate you all the time. Sure, Tik Tok is tied to the CCP and yes that is a major problem, but do not for one minute think that the same tech and data are not being used by either your own government or Wall Street. Pick your poison.

I've noticed a drive against lgbt community. The above was organised by two white chicks.
The lgbt community seems just as divided at the moment with many outraged over some of the stupid stuff going on.
