coming April 30 to ResetERA.com Book Club:QuoteA frontline account of the social media battles raging between red and blue Americans – and how to find moral clarity in the chaos of digital civil war. Are rural white Christians the real Americans? Should teachers be armed or should the Second Amendment be repealed? Is abortion murder or an ethically sound choice for women? Should migrant babies be caged or should ICE be abolished? Should billionaires exist while children go hungry? These are some of the bitter ideological disputes that have turned social media into a political battlefield. In Digital Civil War, Peter Daou, a veteran digital-media adviser to presidential candidates, investigates the underlying value systems and moral arguments of the warring parties, arguing that democracy itself is under assault by an emboldened and empowered Far Right. Daou shows how the digital civil war is waged with words and images that are designed to inflict psychological harm, to injure through verbal violence, to wreak havoc with rhetoric. And he explains that the relentless toxicity of social media – often treated as an aberration – is a feature, not a bug, of digital warfare.Quote“If you want to understand how the Far Right is using social media to divide our country, deny science, disseminate hate, and destroy civil liberties, Peter Daou’s book is a must-read. No one will agree with everything in it, or all of his conclusions – but the power of the evidence he musters and the direct, straightforward way he makes his cases are effective and intriguing. Whether you are an ‘innocent bystander’ or ‘in the trenches’ of today’s Digital Civil War, you will learn something new and something interesting by reading this book.” —Ron Klain, former chief of staff under vice presidents Joe Biden and Al Gore“Beautifully written and absolutely frightening. Peter Daou masterfully explores how the no-holds-barred battles on social media, which have framed the reality for millions of people, will be crucial in determining if American democracy has the strength to pull itself up from the precipice or plunge into a right-wing abyss.”—Carol Anderson, author of White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of our Racial Divide “Chilling. Having experienced many years in different combat zones and having seen physical destruction, I can say that the intellectual, emotional, and psychological devastation occurring in this digital civil war poses an exponentially greater threat to our existence. Peter Daou shows how values like compassion, equality, and belief in the ideas found in our Constitution are now somehow being thwarted by pretenders who call themselves ‘real Americans.’ An important book.”—Mark Hertling, former Commanding General of U.S. Army Europenice

If it stops even one sexually frustrated edgelord 13 year old from getting onto /pol/ or /r9k/ and getting radicalised into an incel nazi, it will have been worth it.
Who the hell is going to any of those sites for "legitimate" reasons8chan is just racists and pedos, 4chan is traps and unfunny memes, and live leak is car accidents and murder Not exactly top tier quality sites
Good. Now block reddit too!
Add facebook.com and twitter.com to the hosts file please.
Also gonna side-eye anyone who opposes this but hasn't said a word in the original thread.EDIT: Didn't take that long for alts to appear.
QuoteBut muh FREEZE PEACHI legit laughed hard at work to this.
But muh FREEZE PEACH
Weird how many Era users go from being pro-Net Neutrality to being anti-Net Neutrality at the drop of a hat.
ok everyone needs to chill for a minute, gonna go through this mess
Wasn't Peter Daou the dude who claimed that alt-right neo nazi incels sent him images that trigger seizures and GAF/Era(I don't remember when it was) said that these people should be charged with attempted murder?
Which 13 year old isn't sexually frustrated or an "incel" ?

Holy shit NZ works fast.Goddamn my country is a fucking embarrassment in contrast
Nice to see how fast NZ is working.
Australian ISPs blocking 8chan, 4chan, Liveleak, Zerohedge, Voat, et al for hosting Christchurch attack video
Everyone on NeoGAF was 100% against any and all blocking of domains... I remember because I was dogpiled for not freaking out over SOPA/HIPA.I may regret pointing this out on era, but I'll also probably just get ignored or told I'm wrong lol
they banned Cheebs, first Kirblar, now this
User Banned (1 Week): MisogynyCharley telling Dana she's shit right to her weird looking face was hilarious. And then she was proven right. Great storytelling!Dana is apparently only 30 years old too, but all that bobo has taken its toll. Charley should probably slow down herself while she still looks semi-normal for her age. Why young woman do this to themselves I'll never understand. You're 20-30 years old, you're not Nicole Kidman. A lack of frown lines in your face doesn't make you look youthful, it makes you look off-putting, expressionless and weird.
8chan, 4chan, Liveleak, Zerohedge, Voat should be given some freedom award and/or journalism award for their defense of civil liberties and freedom of information :^)
QuoteI feel like half of Era is going to implode when Bernie loses the primary again. The 2020 thread is a good time.That's why I avoid the 2020 thread and politics OT threads in general. Nice little bubble of Bernard-haters here (and some bros but they're mostly tolerable).

QuoteIf he runs as a 3rd party candidate just to play spoiler (despite the fact that he didn't do it in 2016 and knows he wouldn't win), I hope you all properly respond in kind. Bringing on ilk like Sirota makes me think he wouldn't be above it... regardless of what he's gone on the record with in the past.Yeah, at this point, I wouldn't be surprised.

OFFICIAL STAFF COMMUNICATIONI know this is a primary and it's going to get heated, but the level of animosity in this topic is unsustainable and unacceptable. Chill out, dial it back a few notches, and get back to your discussion. We won't last the remaining year and change if this keeps happening.
No intellectually serious person would countenance voting for Sanders in the primary after this round of horrific hires.
I love that Cheebo doesn't even have a made up ban reason attached to any of his posts.
President Vladimir Putin has tightened his grip on the Russian Internet Monday, signing two censorship bills into law. One bans "fake news" while the other makes it illegal to insult public officials....Under one bill, individuals can face fines and jail time if they publish material online that shows a "clear disrespect for society, the state, the official state symbols of the Russian Federation, the Constitution of the Russian Federation, and bodies exercising state power."A second bill subjects sites publishing "unreliable socially significant information" to fines as high as 1.5 million rubles ($23,000)."Russia has not historically had major constraints on Internet freedom," analyst Matthew Rojansky told the Post. "The Internet has thus been one realm in which full diversity of opinion and free expression, even on the most sensitive political topics, were generally permitted."Now, however, the Russian government has "essentially unconstrained authority to determine that any speech is unacceptable. One consequence may be to make it nearly impossible for individuals or groups to call for public protest activity against any action taken by the state."The Russian government has steadily tightened its grip over the Russian Internet, The Moscow Times notes. "Tougher Internet laws introduced over the past five years require search engines to delete some search results, messaging services to share encryption keys with security services, and social networks to store users' personal data on servers within the country."
so SweetNicole has time to save GOTY voting from typos and remasters but she hasn't written a compendium of ban hierarchy?how do i fire her

Is it a Westworld reference? Doesn't make much sense as that character has nothing in common with him. Is it perhaps an even lamer version of the Drumpf meme?
