The best communications infrastructure in the world will not help if all it can report to the public is "Dems caved again"... "for the third time this week elected Democrats rolled over and played dead"... "Democrats show no balls and refuse to fight leading many to wonder if they have any principles at all."

»Die Strategie hinter der digitalen Reizflut:
Desinformation und manipulative Inhalte überschwemmen die Medien und steuern unsere Aufmerksamkeit. Wie wir uns gegen die "Flood the Zone"-Strategie wehren können«

Das Medien schon immer ein Teil der Propaganda war, ist nicht neu. Doch welche von wem Finanziert wird, spielt sehr wohl eine Rolle, denn Propaganda schlägt bewusst die Hirne lahm.

Noch mehr schlechte Laune gefällig?

Während sich #Europa mit existenziellen Fragen beschäftigen muss, macht #Trump quasi unbemerkt gleich den ganzen Planeten kaputt.

Ich sage nur #SteveBannon: "Flood the zone". Mit ganz vielen gleichzeitigen Aktionen sollen wir in die Knie gezwungen werden.

The big names, like Pelosi, @schumer.senate.gov , and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social hate the activists in the base.

So even when a big progressive conference (like Netroots Nation, for example) happens the powerful are not there making waves and surprising people.

Our leadership is lethargic AF.

Both Trump and Musk have been telling huge lies about everything for decades.

It's amazing that anyone believes a word they say.

but somehow huge swaths of the public are oblivious to the fact that they've been profoundly gaslit.

Tax cuts only for those who don't need them.

Baseball is the WRONG metaphor.

Boxing is the right metaphor.

They are not pitches that we choose to swing at.

They are punches. Not every punch lands. Some do lots of damage.

but we MUST throw more punches than they do.

Not responding to a barrage of blows to the head is the same as throwing in the towel.

Flooding the Zone - a suggestion for anyone who is part of ZuckBookIgram:

#BlackHistory #BlackPast #BlackFedi #FloodTheZone

"BlackPast supporter Carmen Harris has found a way to promote our efforts, especially during Black History Month. Each day in February, she is posting an entry from this, the largest online encyclopedia on African American and Global African history on the Internet.

Her first post is on William Cooper Nell, an early 19th-century Black Boston abolitionist. We hope you will follow her example and post your favorite entry or entries from the website on your Facebook page and link it to the BP Facebook page. You have more than 7,500 choices. We especially urge those who have written entries to post their work on their Facebook pages and link them to the BP Facebook page. We want to “Flood the Zone” during the rest of Black History Month with BP entries and articles to ensure that millions see and support the work of BlackPast.org.

Quintard Taylor
Founder and Executive Director of BlackPast.org"

As we come to the end of the longest year, this 31st of January, I remind us all that sometimes, you have to stop #doomscrolling for your own sanity.

What you are experiencing is called "flooding the zone", and billionaire owned media companies are performing the job of "distributed amplification". (definitions, cites in link below.)

You're not going crazy, you're the victim of a deliberate #psyop. 47 and crew are using a firehose to spread as much as they can, as far and as wide as they can, in the hopes that opposition will be overwhelmed and give up.

Do Not Give Up, but limitations are rational when facing a barrage, just as umbrellas are rational in a storm. This attack will end, the firehose is not without limit. But it's ok to stand back from the front line when you need a break. This is a long fight, don't wear yourself out in the first week.

#FloodTheZone by cutting off all government spending so you can cut off aid to #Ukraine and nobody notices you're following orders from #Putin

The T**** Method of Governance:

1. Shoot from the hip.
2. Act w/o thinking or consideration for consequences.
3. Toss everything at the wall & see what sticks. #FloodTheZone
4. Claim it was simply a "mistake" when the $#!+ hits the fan.

People that can’t believe anything can’t make up their mind.

People who can’t believe anything are deprived of their capacity to act and also of ability to think and judge.

You can do whatever you want with those people.
