In the absence of journalism, all that remains is doublethink.

And shills, incoming.

Also, this guy vonyugen is all over r/conspiracy with upvotes, which is at this point only possible if you are a connected propagandist, and his minds.com and book avalon are all about /x/ topics. He "glows" as they say, beware.

Anyone really trying to change things is not operating on amazon, or minds.com, which my analysis discovered is just like steemiit, a site that makes propagandists look like they are real people making money propagandizing, and a honeypot time sink for everyone else.

aaaand promoted by magnora, aaaand the statement is so obvious it almost does not need to be said at all. Saying self evident things is not insightful, it is the opposite of insightful. If we are at the point where stating the obvious is like "whoaaaa", wait until you read something actually novel like my website and books.

Why do you feel the need to attack people like this? We're all contributing in our own way.

This is a personal attack. If someone else was saying this, would it suddenly have been acceptable? Information is either useful or not, regardless of the identity it's tied to.

Another personal attack. You're not addressing the content of this specific message. And you're merely describing the effects that minds.com and Steemit have in general. But even if your description is true, that doesn't make every single user of those platforms a propagandist. A genuine person may legitimately see them as useful platforms to spread information. James Corbett uses both platforms. Is he a propagandist?

aaaand promoted by magnora,

Another personal attack, and this time directed at the very admin of this site. Should we distrust them? Why? Based on beef you had with them in the past? Obviously there's nothing wrong with it if magnora posts links on their very own website, and likewise if one ends up being the top post.

aaaand the statement is so obvious it almost does not need to be said at all. Saying self evident things is not insightful, it is the opposite of insightful.

No, the statement is not obvious. People are very much driven by emotions, and watching the video of Floyd's killing can mislead people into supporting an ideology while losing sight of the man behind the curtain. Even people here. And even if it was obvious, it can still be helpful as a way of counteracting the propaganda that we're all exposed to. George Orwell wrote that in a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. These are the times we're living in, and we need reminders like this.

If we are at the point where stating the obvious is like "whoaaaa", wait until you read something actually novel like my website and books.

So your entire post has been toxic, and then you conclude with blatant self-promotion? I don't know what to make of you. You're making yourself look like a shill. I'm not saying you are. I've read three of your plays and it makes me happy that people here are using art to spread a message. But you're stooping quite low right now. Please cut it out.

I'm fairly certain you're going to hear about shill tactics and see more personal attacks.

It is not a personal attack, I am not saying "he is a bad person" or I do not like his hair, I am saying his work is suspect for a dozen reasons.

Saying steemit and minds suck is not a personal attack. I spent a lot of time at both of those places, I have written actual essays about why I think steemit is a psyop, on steemit. I have actually directly messaged the founders with critical questions which they ignored.

You have done nothing but try to reframe my arguments as personal attacks, which is lazy and manipulative.

I am pointing out a pattern to magnora, that he protects offensive trolls, and posts content that is for some reason brigaded up at reddit, and that he is evasive when personally questioned about such, and even today he has responded with shill tactics just like yours. Conflation, innuendo, etc.

The fact that it swtiched form pandemic stay at home, to get out in the streets to protect black people from evil while people, is obvious to anyone not in a cave the last 2 months, or maybe you are just an idiot. Or you are being disingenuous, but since shilling is organized idiocy, and ruining the world, I find it difficult to separate them.

And you conclude with an actual personal attack, rather than evaluating whether or not my work, which actually did get censored at reddit, actually addresses what I claim it addresses.

Actual writers are allowed to promote their own work without shame, especially if they are taking a stand against amazon and the corrupt publishing industry, and there is nothing wrong with it.

None of your points would've been valid if VonYugen posted his message anonymously, and if magnora posted it here anonymously. That's what makes it clear that they're personal attacks. And now I'm done wasting time on you.
