I don't know about the rest of you but I was really surprised how well spoken and eloquent the brown person who put this fake voice clip together was. They knew so many big words.

Hope the principal sues this guy for every last nickel he had and anyone else who slandered him as a result of this.

The usual suspects will still rush to defend the perp, and he will likely get off with no jail time because of muh equity.

I hope this scumbag gets serious prison time. He could easily got the principal seriously hurt or killed. Also, sounds like he was embezzling school funds too.

The early bird/X gets the worm, so to speak.

Tweet has been deleted, probably because @EndWokeness accidentally put the wrong guy's picture in the first one.

I think it's just going to get bad until everyone stops trusting anything that comes from a computer

That's fair, I just hope that's even possible? Most people can "feel" and somewhat understand that even without this they are being lied to and propagandized, yet, they still stare at it and parrot it in droves.

I'm just too pessimistic about the common man, as I should be I guess.

Well most people under 40 don't trust the TV news, yet people over 50 seem to trust it like it's God incarnate.

So I think a similar thing will happen with the internet, probably anyone born after 2020 or so will have a general distrust of the internet because they never saw the 1990s trustworthy version that we got trained on.

Just like I never saw the relatively trustworthy TV news of the 1970s that trained the boomers to trust the TV news even though it's so obviously untrustworthy these days. Old trust habits once learned are hard to break. My 2 cents.

Yeah that makes sense and plays out that way too.

Being online skews pessimistic tendencies in people, myself included.

Here's what I will say though, understanding it, being aware of it, even outright understanding every single negative effect it has on your liberty and future, does not equal action in most people. That's the problem I have with it.

"Well most people under 40 don't trust the TV news" if that were true the internet experience would be much more pleasant than it is, believe me. Just look at all the reddiors and tiktok users who believe any clickbait headline (without actually clicking) and go straight to comment wars. Perceptions of innocent people are ruined, misinformation spreads just as easily as before if not more. Nothing's changed. Young people are as gullible as facebook boomers.

Trivial example to show how much people can't be arsed to check the validity of information themselves: I play an online dating sim for girls where the credits are accessible in one click. Dissatisfied with the writing of some scenes, people started claiming that it's because it was a full-male team in charge of the writing, despite the credits clearly showing that there was only one man while the rest are women. One click, and they can't bother to double check the info. People would rather take everything at face value than do a 2 minutes google search, even with all the fact-checking sites available now.
