Facebook/Twitter have made millions of people suddenly think their opinions on just about everything is suddenly valid and needs to be heard by everyone else. EFB, but this. NUKES CURE NORKS posted:Give the idiot a megaphone and he becomes everyone's problem.

Because Fox News doesn't provide a safe space for nazis and racists to link up and let themselves be known without getting the poo poo beat out of them. FNC were a prototype though, getting those types hooked on a stream of endless validation.

Also because Facebook can detect nipples faster than a camera detects light, but they just can't seem to stop foreign psy ops or racist/sexist violent threats.

FAUXTON posted:No poo poo Facebook wasn't the problem in 1861, it didn't even exist. The South fought to take over the burgeoning antebellum US Postal Service because too many people were mailing sick burns about how uncool slavery was to sensitive Southerners. Whether or not antislavery literature could be blocked from the mail system was a major deal and part of the controversy surrounding the Turner Rebellion (obv fake news from the Abolitionist press stirred up the slaves to revolt!). For really the first time it was relatively easy for folks to mass mail letters and literature across state lines and the South was super pissed about the liberal media coming out of places like Boston and Philly infecting upstanding Southerners with terrible ideas like guaranteed state education, federally funded public works projects, and lukewarm sunsetting of slavery. History's Favorite Monster Andrew Jackson ordered his Postmaster General to block 'inflammatory papers' in the mail (questions of legality nonwithstanding), and wannabe secessionist John Calhoun went one step further and tried to make it legal for local govts to impose their own censorship on their post offices. While it didn't pass Congress, the South ended up enacting de facto censorship anyway because slavery is too important an institution to let something minor like the 1st and 4th Amendment get in the way.

Dude there's poo poo loads of people in the rural south who think klanners aren't that bad, and that them negroes should recognize their betters etc. They'll never say it aloud because of their massive bitchmade streak from getting their collective heads shoved in a lovely portatoilet in the 1860s, but the massive racist undercurrent is still there, moreso in blue collar poor white towns than elsewhere. It's easy to demonize black people and Hispanics when there's like 6 of them in your entire county of <10000 E: spelling orange juche fucked around with this message at 08:09 on Sep 13, 2017 |

Yeah, just goes to show this poo poo's been going on for nearly two centuries and one of the reasons why it was so easy for the plantation class to get everyone on board the secession train. From at least 1814 to 1859 was just one long campaign of the Southern establishment digging themselves in against change and grabbing as many political levers at the local, state, and national level to do so. Lots of parallels with the GOP's strategy nowadays.

And yet they still represented a tiny minority of people in the service, and a tiny minority of the rich. You had your Pat Tillmans back then, sure. But they were often low-end rich, as success as a military officer was seen as a path of upward social mobility which represented upward financial mobility. That was one of Washington's motivations, for example. Even though he never got his real British commission, it worked out pretty well for him.

The rich didn't have to worry about being drafted back then. The ones who wanted the glory or whatever got to be officers.
