Also turns out, as Capitalist Accumulation continues and speeds up, it’ll turn out that a whole lot more seemingly innocuous companies, say as a random example not at all already being spread by Alex Jones et al, Acme Brick the owners of Brick.com, can be closer & closer tied to enormous unaccountable companies like Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway (which Bill Gates also owns stock in…..coincidence? No he’s a smart capitalist who knows how to increase his Capital)

It’s not because of a shadowy plot to provide antifa with bricks 20 years in the making, it’s because Capital makes more Capital, by it’s very nature. That capital has to find out how to continue to make more of itself, and turns out a good way to do that is to have ownership titles over a billion different companies.

But if you don’t have that as your first principle of analysis, you’ll be easily led down alt-reality rabbit holes, by a well-funded network of conspiracists *who are also subject to Capital’s eternal need for growth*

Let’s create an example.

This post we just posted shows city construction workers removing stone barriers.

Now, just through the magic of removing the timestamp, I can make this photo be of anything I want

Now, especially without any sort of identifying information, bad actors can easily take this context-less photo and use it to prove a shadowy plot, to show that “THIS IS TAKEN (some day it wasn’t actually taken) HOURS BEFORE THE PROTEST WAS SCHEDULED TO START, PROOF THAT THE ROCKS WERE SET UP” with even more proof by means of “Imean just look at the way the guy in the yellow vest is mean-eyeing the camera, you can just feel how much he didn’t want his photo taken”

Humans are big meatsacks with electro-chemical meat inside our heads. It’s remarkably easy to trick ppl into believing what they’re already prone to believing, especially with mild social pressure & leading frameworks.

NOW POP QUIZ, WHAT DO YOU THINK THESE COPS AND CONSTRUCTION WORKERS ARE DOING TO THIS BEAUTIFUL PILE OF BRICKS
