Nope. Hard disagree. We're not talking about the same thing and we have way different views about how much time and energy it would take to drown out the efforts of billionaires and foreign states. If we focused our energy on that we'd achieve a drop in the ocean. Hell, I feel like I'm wasting my time arguing with a bot right now and I've achieved jack fuck.
It's not about getting dirty now when it comes to this, it's about effectiveness. You are ignoring my points, moving goal posts, and instigating responses. Good luck with whatever. I'm out.
Crazy how you can argue that a single entity regardless of how much money they have could ever out pace the efforts of a mass of people. But this is why the left isn't winning while they are.
You can't ever convince me that we can mobilize people to step out into the street for every damn issue like the woman's March, George Floyd, anti King protest, Anti ice. That you somehow have reasoned that you can see the streets filled with enough people to do something through that action but you can't ever imagine those people being expected to create content or share or network or just leave 5-10 comments online when they see a shit as right wing take.
The output by any billionaire trying to output views online is no match for a motivated people. But this is the problem. The left have become Luddites while the right seizes every digital space.
Every left wing spaces I'm in now becomes a hateful place towards any new technology or social media.
