Great thread debunking the hysterical propaganda smearing anti-establishment Yellow Vests as the work of "Russian bots." These mass movements are driven by the very real & very large human costs of carbon taxes, mass immigration, & many other elite leftist & neocon policies.https://twitter.com/Recursion_Agent/status/1071734446959849472 …

I strongly agree with the protesters' grievances, but not their tactics; people who destroy property should not be excused
You are the cognitive victim of the click-bait and propaganda amplification of a tiny minority of the kind of anti-property, typically far-left, troublemakers that come out whenever there is a big protest of almost any stripe.

fair enough, but I also think a vocal minority can be mistaken for a plurality/majority viewpoint (that may not be true in this instance given Macron's approval ratings). For example, we wouldn't say BLM or Antifa viewpoints are popular, even though they are vocal.

Could
#LightningNetwork micro-payments return journalism to profitability without corrupt sponsors and governments? Will it allow them to afford the investigative teams and resources it badly needs to be independent? I say it's worth a try: https://cryptomillionaireapp.com/blog/i-sent-letters-to-top-newspapers-asking-for-lightning-network-micropayments-here-are-their-responses-so-far/ …pic.twitter.com/NkJEDX9aht

A big chunk of the media got corrupt because they can't possibly survive the internet without powerful, corrupt sponsors that have unlimited access to easy money. I believe a combination of Micro-payments and Sound Money can make Journalism great again
