The Geometry of Hate - Why Women All Women Must Unite - Why Fox News IS Part of the problem
I recently started getting back into social media because I am resting at home healing from surgery and I don't have a whole lot I can do but lay in bed. So....I started doing social media and what a dumpster fire some of it is. Especially Facebook. As I get into Facebook, groups, channels, streams, reels, posts, I am blown away at the LACK of intelligent conversation, the LACK of civility between people the lack of moderation and mediation...There is none. Its a Mush Pit
Two examples
- Fox News
- News that talks about Murders of Transgender Women
1 - Fox News.....
I was on a Facebook post/stream via Fox News, Saturday night regarding what is going on with ICE and protesters at a detention center in N.J. and the Rage and the hate in that channel was staggering towards a woman governor. The amount of
- "Fuck that Bitch"
- "Hang Her"
- "Cunt"
- "Skank"
- "Take her out and...."
on and on.. all from men, mostly white men. you get the idea here. like serious misogyny. Like these men are serious haters of women.
I spent time challenging one man after another, calling them out. NOT ONE MAN would engage me.
NOT ONE.
What does that tell you and me, and all of us?
I see two possibilities
- Many of the poster are flat out bots. AI Agents Taught to just spew out hate, in an unthinking and unresponsive manner to push and radicalize those that are actually humans...
- That these men just don't care, they hate women and they are addicted to their anger, their rage, thier hate.
But what about the women was it all men? No. occasionally there would literally be hate, coming from the women too. just not as much. One was named Karen (I'm not kidding), the other an old white haired lady in the ..where? you guessed it. Florida. raging on.
Bots...
ok I consider myself almost an expert with AI. I have written LLMs, MCPs, Worked with the API of several of the large AI providers at the promtpt, workbench and API level. I know what AI can do and I know how to build AIs.
In AI land there is the concept of an "Agent" and concept of a "Synthetic person" The idea is you are train an AI and the Agent to THINK and React the way yoou want to. And once you do this you can like OO Programming create as MANY of these Agents and Synthetic people as you want. Think about that. How likely is it that a Steve Bannon, or a data analytics firm, or a nation state actor (Russia/China pick a country), a Religious Organization, a political organization..... to create fake people with a tireless mission of sowing anger, hate, fear, to destablize a country or radicalize a base to achieve some objective? it is BEYOND PLAUSIBLE. THIS IS HAPPENING. And I suspect in the Fox News Channels many of the posters aren't even real.... There is NO accountability, at all. Fox just lets it go.....
What else does this tell us
Social Media does not regulate/ or try to prevent hate. Fox News Doesn't care about what is said, who it hurts, how it affects people. Period. They love dirty laundry and they are about hits and view counts only. They literally don't care about you or me. They are terrible, biased and a big part of the problem.
Misogyny in the channel
As I mentioned in the channel were men...mostly men. I spent Hours responding to their comments. NOT ONE them responded to my comment. Thats weird right? it is. Bots...probably. But here is the thing looking at the accounts these guys were from all over the country AND ALL OVER THE WORLD. in a fox news channel on a Saturday night after MIDNIGHT on the east coast Raging hate and vitriol...like non stop. Specifically they are attacking mindlessly, striking out at a strong woman Governor who is standing up to a would be dictator/king specifically old and creepy sex criminal Trump.
What I saw and observed was entitled white men.....many sad little men attacking this woman with Rage Vitriol, and Contempt. No thoughts no critical thinking no understanding of her or what is really going on, just hate and rage filled arm chair trolls.
- "The problem took care of itself"
- "Glad that Man is dead"
- "The killer took out the garbage"
- Women your worth is not tied to the person you are with, we ALL need to VET who we allow into our lives. We have power and control. Don't be with a hate filled troll monster. kick em too the curb.
- Women your RIGHTS are being taken away. Your rights (whether you use it or not) were removed (Roe V Wade as example) and more are being worked on for removal (like your right to vote). And this is being done by very bad MEN. You have the power to stop this... or not, it is YOUR life task, want to live in oppression? continue voting for trolls and sex predators. or....make yourself heard, fight for your rights..try voting for a woman..... AND Vote out all who participated in your rights being remove. Stop Doing what your husband tells you to do. Stop Voting the way he votes. Most likely your husband, boyfriend is an idiot. Nice one or not....
- All Women Matter. MEN think they have SAY in this. Using tactics to Divide us; such as Transgender Women aren't women but Men in dresses. This is not true at all. ALL Transgender Men and Transgender Women ARE Men and Women. Period. A transgender Women is a Woman and they are about one thing. Protecting Women. all Women. They ARE a Woman and seek Community with Women. They are safe and an ally. MEN would have you think otherwise using fear tactics and statements like "but the children in bathrooms...." What kind of stupid fear statement is that? Kids are great. Kids don't FuXXing care who is in the bathroom AND lets be real bathrooms are for relieving body functions and maybe checking the makeup and has nothing to do with kids being in some made up BS danger... geeez. It is dark, low and disgusting that Men Weaponize this as a fear and talking point and it is something the Right pushes to radicalize people through FEAR. FEAR ONLY..no facts..nothing just fear... and then women unthinking also pick this up with out thinking about it. really looking at the situation. They see a Meme some dude created and they think thats what this is about. its awful. rotten and as women we need to be smarter than this.
- Stop being stupid. Stop getting with a guy cause he is cute or hit on you, you are worth more than that. AND!!! stop letting men think for you. You ARE NOT A PUPPET you have a brain..use it. Stop voting the way your husband does. Maybe try supporting a woman who is running next time. Men have had their time, it is time for strong women to lead. And Think for yourself, better yet...think for all feminine community, it is WE the people, not We the CIS White Man Only Club.
