Warren and Striker on Social Media

Found this excellent segment on WarStrike where Warren and Striker are discussing social media.

I have a lot of respect for both these guys. They are arguably two of the most important political philosophers and commentators in the world. Their new podcast WarStrike is highly worth listening to. They tend to span as long as six hours per show so you have to go in and find all sorts of gems scattered throughout.

Here is one where they were talking about social media and the TikTok ban before it even was banned. If most people remember, prior to the latest actual ban of TikTok on 4/20/2024 there was a previous effort to ban it in Congress.

It lends weight to the fact that of all political groups in existence, it is consistently national socialists who are right and whose predictions are always the most accurate, so even though this podcast was made before the second and actual TikTok ban, everything they say is relevant and accurate.

Not only do they discuss TikTok but they also discuss Telegram. Telegram is probably as close to a pure, Open Source platform as exists in the world. If the Internet wasn’t driven by parasites trying to capitalize everything for the sake of greed, Telegram is close to what you would have.

And that fact, that it is Open Source and open in a true sense, and free from marketization and parasitization by greed, has allowed it to be an outstanding source of information globally.

I’ve used Telegram for many years now covering multiple periods of major global events, and it is clear that you can get accurate and highly detailed reporting of just about any global event literally within minutes if not seconds of when it occurs, often from people who are direct observers of such events. It is absolutely incredible and it really shows the potential of a free, open Internet that isn’t driven by greed but rather by the intention of allowing the transfer and sharing of pure information.

Not enough political commentators talk about this directly, but clearly there is a major impact on political processes between groups of people who are able to obtain information from a platform like Telegram versus those who are stuck relying on legacy, regime controlled and curated media for their information.

A society of Telegram users is one in which legacy media has become almost completely irrelevant and would be all but dead, and the tricks that the regime tries to play on the population by trying to turn sites like YouTube into television become irrelevant.

The switch off of regime media to open media like Telegram is literally like replacing the nervous system of an organism and the consequences of that switch are extensive. I like how that truth is so profound that it tends to surface whenever commentators are talking about social media even be it indirectly.
