Hello, witches. This is not financial or political advice. I am just a very online witch who sees a lot of things that I think are relevant to witches, and I think it's important to talk about. <br><br>**The patriarchy is spreading gaslighting propaganda at an unprecedented scale**<br><br>Right now you are being lied to and manipulated to an unprecedented extent. The patriarchy is going all out on the manipulation right now. If you do not already know this, you need to know what is going on and what it means for your life.<br><br>**Chambers**<br><br>If you have been on Chambers for more than a few years you have seen the subversive shift in the way that content is presented to you. Old Redditors will remember when your homepage feed used to be a mix of your subs and popular posts from around Reddit. This has changed dramatically over the last few years. Now your homepage is filled with posts from accounts with 1-5 followers, with very few posts and very new accounts. These are astroturf accounts designed to inject talking points into your online discourse. <br><br>This is not the way that Chambers used to work. They have manipulated the algorithm in order to inject propaganda into your feeds. <br><br>**Facebook**<br><br>Facebook has also recently changed the algorithm on their homepage feeds in a way that is designed to remove subversive or resistance content. Facebook used to be a great way to connect with activist groups and other resistance movements and causes online. They have recently made it much more difficult to do this, by downranking content from pages and groups into your feeds that are not greatly interacted with. <br><br>Facebook is now just a place basically to keep up with the news and see what your friends and family are up to. They have made it much more difficult to access information from pages and groups. <br><br>**Twitter**<br><br>Twitter has also subtly changed in the information that it serves to you, to present more mainstream media and astroturf content, and less content from voices that speak truth to power. <br><br>**Why is this happening?**<br><br>This is all part of a broader strategy to take control of the global internet, suppress dissent and prevent revolution. The patriarchy are scared that we are going to wake up and rise up, and they want to prevent that from happening. They are working on multiple fronts to suppress social justice movements, and prevent a global revolution.<br><br>**What does this mean for you, witch?**<br><br>If you are a witch with a strong online presence, especially if you make content for witches online, you are a threat to the patriarchy. They want to silence you and prevent you from speaking truth to power. They want to prevent you from having a voice online. <br><br>Because of this, you need to be aware of these strategies and how they affect your online presence. You need to be aware that the game has changed, and that social media platforms want to silence you. <br><br>**They want to silence you because you are a powerful witch.**<br><br>**How to resist**<br><br>Resisting this manipulation is very important. Here are some ways you can do that. <br><br>**1. Be discerning of your information sources** <br><br>Do not blindly take in information from any source. Be discerning and research what you are being told, especially if it seems like it is designed to manipulate you. <br><br>**2. Protect yourself from manipulation by being critical of information**<br><br>Learn to think critically and protect yourself against manipulation. Most witches are very empathetic and open hearted, and are easily manipulated. Learn the tactics that are being used to manipulate you, and learn how to spot them. <br><br>**3. Go on the offence. Make content that speaks truth to power.**<br><br>Make content that speaks truth to power and inspires others to do the same. Share information about how you are being manipulated and how to resist that manipulation. <br><br>**4. Join activist communities IRL and online**<br><br>Joining activist communities IRL and online is one of the most powerful ways to resist. Connecting with other witches who are passionate about the same causes as you is inspiring and empowering, and will help you to become a more powerful witch. <br><br>**5. Support other witches who are making content that speaks truth to power**<br><br>Support other witches who are making content that speaks truth to power, basically because you are a good witch <3. <br><br>**Don't let them silence you, witches. Continue to speak truth to power and share your wisdom with the world.** <br><br><3 ?
