Very Fake News

We have no control, nothing matters and you die in the end, so who cares?

Lol. Glad you’ve laid your “philosophy” bare for us to see.

Death is just another state. Namely the state of non consciousness. As both an atheist and nihilist I have no problem with
it especially as it is not something I am ever going to experience. And it sure beats living forever which is infinitely worse

No, never was. Just another rumor on the internet.

There is always an escape somewhere. One only needs to become an escape artist.

True, but I like focusing on this life now.

Haha. I stopped reading after the first five words.

Void, here’s some fake news for you.

You’re cool.

Thanks man.

I don’t so easily forgive mass murderings out of sympathy for former oppression by former people trying to avoid the mass murderings. You are simply not aware of who has been murdering whom, in what manner, and on what scale.

Just one small recent example: USS Liberty Incident

Controlling media and free speech does not erase murder. And their intent was to murder a great, great many more by falsely accusing Egypt and thus drawing the USA into a war (again), killing potentially 100s of thousands more (they hoped).

@ Otto West and Urwrong.

I find your last conversation here (see especially: page 7 of this thread) interesting, because it shows how important certain thoughts are and that most people do not care about them, although there is probably no clear solution of the question whether it is better to go back to nature or to go on with the nihilistic civilization. To me, it is pretty obvious that one day this Occidental civilization will either get overtaken or get „frozen“. So then and regardless which of the two possibilities will become reality, it will partly (thus: not absolutely) become more natural again - in other words: it will partly get overtaken by nature. But it is pretty probable too that going back to nature will be forbidden someday: about 99% of all people will have to live in ghettos - now known as „cities“. So the result of the so-called „New World Order“ will be either a new feudalism of a global kind or even two globally seperated human species (comparable with - for examle - the Morlocks and the Eloi). :astonished:

I no longer watch or read MSM, so unfortunately I cannot catalogue the very fake news anymore. Maybe someone can help me out and post examples they have noticed recently. That is, assuming you are masochistic enough to expose yourself to the soul-destroying weaponized propaganda that passes as “news” today.

There’s so much fake news these days, you basically strike gold when discovering “real news”.

Basically these days, everything is Sensationalism. 9 of 10 news websites and foundations are posting misleading and ridiculous titles, just to receive some clicks and attention. It’s completely fake. Basically “news” agencies are resorting to outright lies and emotionalism, complete subjectivity, to retain any relevance in modern society.

That’s why yahoo.com, for example, bashes Trump daily. They cater to their liberal-leftist foundation and readers. Without this constant bashing, subjectively driven, then very few people would even bother to read it. And that’s true of most “news” agencies nowadays. They are catering to the expectations, the hidden values, of their bases.

Conservatives expect “conservative” slants. Liberals expect “liberal” slants. And if neither get it then the “news” agency risks losing what dwindling power it has, in terms of commercialism and sensationalism.

Imagine a day on earth, where there was “no news” but people just went about their day. All news canceled on one day. Wouldn’t people breathe easier? Be happier? Probably. It’s not like the world would miss much.

…except that would be a perfect opportunity for one country to invade another, I suppose.

True. They increase murder significantly. And it is easy for them to do this, because they cover the murder facts with lies and misrepresentations of that facts.

I think, we should distinguish between the news of the natural media or primitive cultural media and the news of the high cultural media or modern mass media.

If there was no news at all, nobody would win much, but everyone would lose much. So "no news at all“ is equivalent to "no life at all“.

Media is basically not more than an information processing system. All iving beings need news and are media too.

So the problem is not the media itself, the problem is the "modern mass media“.

:laughing:

This is why I hate society. I don’t support Republicans and so they tell me to support democrats, so my only option I am forced is for me to support slimy, corrupt Democrats and corrupt news media, most of which if full of logical fallacies and mental weakness. I hate being boxed into a corner of having to support a faction which is full of lies and fallacies, like being forced to eat plastic mcdonalds food like everyone else.

Try being human sometime. You might surprise yourself, and like it.

my entire post was about being human amongst a world of inhuman autocrats who have a political system like a train going 400 mph off the rails.

“Failing pile of garbage.” Hahaha.

Nietzsche bless The Don.
