The Sirius Report on alt media

https://x.com/thesiriusreport/status/2120845823877558621

People have very convenient memories of things they implicitly believed to be true only to then be proved to be wholly incorrect.

Remember the claims, during the pandemic, that these “elites” where going to keep us locked down forever and that it would be the new normal. Only that didn’t become the new normal because life went back to the old normal so in order to cope with the fact they were completely wrong they then convinced themselves that was just a dress rehearsal for another pandemic just around the corner.

Remember monkeypox, that was apparently the new pandemic, only it wasn’t. Every time there is an outbreak of something anywhere in the world they are immediately sucked into blind panic.

The alt media did a number on so many people and fried their minds in the process and they have never recovered.

Oh and before the usual people respond with idiotic puerile posts, we never got vaccinated and I am not saying everything was above board during the pandemic. Far from it, but you have to pick the battles you can win with legitimate discourse.

The alt media missed a great opportunity to stick to the facts and be a force for change. Only they largely went off-reservation and destroyed opportunities for those of us who could have affected some change.

Thanks for that.

The Sirius report is not wrong.  We have an enormous alt media problem.

I do remember during the Covid pandemic that I saw the worst assessments and pseudo scientific studies, surely made up by 6th graders.

I also remember people that I had direct contact with on both sides of the fence and they were both equally full of hubris, refusing to think.  I remember people like automatons sending out one after the other apocalyptic post.  I remember losing contact with many, as I could not abide those who were unable to affect change, but still spreading their non-content.

We are back in such a time, where now the alt media is doing this for profit.  This is across all the spectrums.  In Europe specifically alt media is used as much as mainstream media to attack reasonable analysts.  This has happened on our site as well and it is then that I get sarcastic and start blocking insane commentators.

We have an enormous alt media problem.

This is exacerbated with attacks on our own site, although we are as hardened as is possible.   As much as is possible on Sovereignista, we post who we know and according to their history as reliable.  Even then, they are falling over, one by one, as the money offered is just too good.
