Information Wars

The violence inside us projects into the world, and as we move further into the information age, the wars get recast.

Consider:

If you're going to the World Cup in Qatar, you have to download an app that tracks your every move, and can takeover your phone. (tweet)

Iran is angry that other countries are supporting the rebellion of women. (CNN)

There's a right wing candidate in NYC that got money sent from Colorado. (Daily News)

The dark money of the rich flows into the party that supports their agendas. (NPR)

Wikipedia is constantly re-edited to rewrite the Russian invasion of Ukraine. (Gizmodo) (Study)

They're predicting social media chaos before the midterms. (Times of Israel)

With the upcoming midterm elections, we have a choice about democracy, versus a more authoritarian and anti-democratic route. Secular progressive or regressive traditional imprint of a Christian majority. We can support a historically good president, or spin things to destroy his universal goods. We can maintain the rights of women over their bodies, or we can allow for the control of women's bodies. It's really quite a stark and dire election. 

I know every election plays the histrionic tunes of life versus death, black and white, but it's hard for me not to see it with this one. 

I think the conservative and progressive dialectic is important in American and I want my conservative friends to vote, but I don't think conservatives should vote for some of these Republican candidates or anti-democratic policies.
