Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Nonpolitical", a new synonym for reactionary and fascist bullshit propaganda, disinformation, and blatant lies mixed with bad jokes:</p><p>"- We found 320 online shows — 191 right-leaning and 129 left-leaning — that were active in 2024 and covered news and politics and/or had related guests. These shows had at least 584.6 million total followers and subscribers.</p><p>- We found substantial asymmetry in total following across platforms: Right-leaning online shows had at least 480.6 million total followers and subscribers — nearly five times as many as left-leaning.</p><p>- Across platforms — YouTube, Rumble, Twitch, Kick, Spotify, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok — right-leaning online shows accounted for roughly 82% of the total following of the online shows we assessed.</p><p>- Comparatively, left-leaning online shows had nearly 104 million followers and subscribers across the eight platforms — nearly five times less.</p><p>- Nine out of the 10 online shows with the largest followings across platforms were right-leaning, with a total following of more than 197 million. The only left-leaning show among the top 10 was What Now? with Trevor Noah, which had 21.1 million total followers and subscribers across platforms.</p><p>- Our analysis — which looked entirely at shows with an ideological bent — found over a third self-identify as nonpolitical, even though 72% of those shows were determined to be right-leaning. Instead, these shows describe themselves as comedy, entertainment, sports, or put themselves in other supposedly nonpolitical categories.</p><p>- Out of 320 online shows, right-leaning programs categorized as comedy — 15 shows in all — had 117.5 million followers and subscribers, or 20% of the total following of all programs we assessed. This category included The Joe Rogan Experience, This Past Weekend with Theo Von, and Full Send Podcast."</p><p><a href="https://www.mediamatters.org/google/right-dominates-online-media-ecosystem-seeping-sports-comedy-and-other-supposedly" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">mediamatters.org/google/right-</span><span class="invisible">dominates-online-media-ecosystem-seeping-sports-comedy-and-other-supposedly</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Media</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/OnlineMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnlineMedia</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Podcasts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Podcasts</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Videocasts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Videocasts</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Ideology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ideology</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Propaganda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Propaganda</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SocialMedia</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Disinformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Disinformation</span></a></p>

Futurist Jim Carroll<p>"Some people are so caught up in the blindness of their ideology that they have lost their ability to see" - Futurist Jim Carroll</p><p>(Note: I've started two new websites in the last few days, all while pounding out hundreds of meters downhill at my ski club. The first, at volatility.jimcarroll.com, is a response to my belief that a global downturn is now inevitable. The second? It's a little more fun - it's at now.jimcarroll.com - and is simply a little Website about some things I'm doing ... now!)</p><p>The future belongs to those who see it coming.</p><p>But another side of this coin is that the future never belongs to those who refuse to see it coming.</p><p>When I say "Some people are so caught up in the blindness of their ideology that they have lost their ability to see," I'm speaking of a fundamental truth about innovation in our accelerating world. (You thought I was talking about something else. I am! The delusional insanity is real!)</p><p>There are a lot of people who refuse to see the reality of the future that is coming. They don't realize the errors of their ways (or the imperviousness of the cult of which they are a member) until it is far too late. It's a sad fact that in my 30+ years advising global organizations on future trends, I've witnessed a recurring pattern: those who cling to outdated thinking consistently miss the massive disruption happening right in front of them!</p><p>Here's the brutal reality: Your rigidity is your biggest innovation killer.</p><p>Has complacency become your comfort zone? In today's era of hyperchange, that's a death sentence for your organization!</p><p>What I see time and again is people waiting for clarity that might never come - waiting for perfect information in an imperfect world. Meanwhile, your competitors are shifting fast and stealing your future!</p><p>The path forward requires a radical mind shift:</p><p>- abandon short-term thinking and embrace longer transformational horizons<br>stop ignoring obvious trends that are causing massive upheaval</p><p>- break free from past success patterns that blind you to future opportunities<br>challenge EVERY assumption about where your industry is headed</p><p>- create a culture where inaction is the only unacceptable option</p><p>And please, banish the myth that innovation is only for "special people"!

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>Isn't it awkward that the arguments of the custodians of capitalism are generally so self-serving and LAZY, full of clichés and meaningless concepts? It just so seems that these billionaires have become dumb by leaving all critical thinking skills at the foot of the altar of holy money</p><p>"Pairing “personal liberties” and “free markets” is a staple of libertarian rhetoric. It is, in fact, the slogan of the libertarian magazine Reason: “Free Minds and Free Markets.” But these abstractions obscure far more than they clarify. What happens when freedom of thought and speech come into conflict with “the free market,” i.e., with letting business owners do whatever they like?</p><p>In 2017, socialist writer Freddie deBoer wrote an essay for the Post titled “Corporations are cracking down on free speech inside the office — and out.” In it, he cited a variety of cases in which employees had been fired at various companies for expressing opinions during their free time that their bosses disliked and concluded that as “businesses gain new ways of observing the private lives of employees, they will become more adept at policing those off-the-clock moments,” and “all of us will become less free.”</p><p>Could the deBoer piece be published in WaPo now? It depends on whether Bezos cares more about the “personal liberties” half or the freedom of capitalists to police their workforces however they see fit. Given his own history of firing workers for criticizing his company at union rallies, it’s pretty clear that he’d choose the latter."</p><p><a href="https://jacobin.com/2025/03/bezos-washington-post-free-market" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">jacobin.com/2025/03/bezos-wash</span><span class="invisible">ington-post-free-market</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Capitalism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Libertarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Libertarianism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Censorship</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Ideology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ideology</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Propaganda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Propaganda</span></a></p>
