  • I doubt there would be any companies that own the refineries that would stay in TX at the risk of losing all the business they do in the rest of the US. TX would be a dystopian nightmare to live in if they did leave the US. No national company is going to stay, all the military bases and defense industry would be gone, no products will be delivered from other states for as long as it would take to figure out passports and immigration back into the US, the airports would no longer have FAA oversight, and a million of other small things that get taken for granted in everyday life would be gone. Companies that are US based have a responsibility to work in their shareholders interest and I can’t see any rational shareholders wanting to leave the entire US market for the shithole TX market.

    Edit: I replied to the wrong comment but it kind of fits so I’ll leave it.



  • I retired in 2019 and spent months tracing accounts and reporting fake accounts to facebook and never had one account removed from my reports. I found the Dorr brothers alt accounts and exposed their astroturfing various gun groups and anti-quarantine groups that acted like local grassroots groups for a large number of locations. A Washington Post article (and several other news orgs picked up the story) was published after I contacted a reporter about what I found and handed over the evidence I found. Facebook didn’t remove one single group or account linked to the Dorr Brothers.

    The point I’m getting to is I just had a post of mine removed two days ago for “Cybersecurity” reasons. The post was made in August and was nothing more than me explaining Project 2025 and contained quotes from the Project 2025 manifesto. No links and in no way could be a threat to anyone’s security. Facebook is anti-democracy and a threat.




  • I’m not sure if they would be classified as influencers but have you ever fallen into the rabbit hole of youtube reaction channels? I fell into it because of a band I like was being heavily reacted to on youtube but I quickly noticed there is a cycle of right wing propagandists like Tom McDonald and other music type people who get featured on these reaction channels. The majority of the reactors I watch are black but they sell their souls for the traffic they get from what I assume are mostly bots that watch and comment in support of the right wing propaganda.

    The first time I watched one of those reaction videos I was awestruck by how the reactor was so agreeable to the theme of “I won’t apologize for being white”. I know it’s only tangibly related to the topic here but I have been bothered by it and wanted to share and see what other people think.

    I am convinced the reactors or paid to favorably review this stuff.
