Night of the Living Dead

 While Facebook has lost face (so to speak) in recent years, because Z. widely sold personal information and profited, many still use the website as a go to social media hub.  Tik Tok is not a viable substitute, because like most things (now including Facebook), it is a platform for propaganda.  With the emergency (emergence "C") of Artificial Intelligence, and it is an emergency, AI is being used as a more convenient platform that the Steve Jobs' created "Renderman."  Once you needed a tower of computer processing, a film studio, and talented cinematographers to create realistic computer-generated images.  AI, like all things smart phone, is the easy consumer-oriented product marketed to the gullible buyer.  More alarmingly instead of coercing you to buy products, it is influencing your thoughts and opinions.  Almost everything media-related is doing the same.  There is little honesty left.  Once we had a print media that was bound by some degree of honesty and fairness.  Because Congress largely has become corrupt, any regulation or oversight of misinformation is scant.  This is what has allowed the Trump machine to operate.  In previous decades in America the FCC would not allow this display of criminal behavior.  We only can wonder who is attacking America and why?  Because the assault is coming from within, and half of the nation still may reelect the traitor emeritus, true Americans must be cognizant that our own nation all ready is under siege.  While vestiges of the radical right always existed, they came to fruition with the Trump Presidency.  Trump's machine single handedly fueled civil insurrection in America.  They want us to fight each other.  Why am I seeing disturbing AI generated "reels" in my Facebook feed?  I just tell myself that is Renderman in the hands of malcontent foreigners.  Reasons abound why other nations and cultures dislike America.  Once the torch of freedom for many with passage across the Atlantic Ocean, America has become the butt of modern society.  School shootings.  Church shootings.  Mass shootings.  We have proven America no longer is capable of virtue.  Instead we enjoy lynching Negroes as a method of self entertainment and stoking of our own fragile egos.  Since Covid, the majority of American induced disciplines that have made our country great dramatically have declined.  Most of the disparate components of American culture have been hobbled in one way or another.  Namely film, television, and music are on the chopping block, and it is easy to visualize a post communist regime salivating at the loss of these integral educational processes.  The Nazi party did the same thing.  The expression of personal and national ideals through art is quintessential, but the smart phone, streaming services, and immediate gratification from the internet through an iPhone have undermined the American artistic process.  The techniques of television, film, and music largely have been lost with sound being the most notable.  What we see, hear, and feel each day is a shadow of our American post.  We are tasked with self-gratification with the aid of an iPhone.  The large scale process of the creation of art through these mediums, which bolsters the economy, has been sacrificed.  Why pay talent?  You pay talent, because most don't have it.  You pay technicians and artists, because they offer more than a layperson.  Consequently we are left surveilling the common man's everyday struggle for survival.  That has become our daily example, and it is dejecting.  The challenge of living in a vacuum is upon us, and it is not wise to lose sight of one's neighbors.  The standard at which America is operating never has been lower, and almost all steadfast American postulates are being smeared with misinformation.  How can Donald Trump make America great again, when he has waged a campaign savagely against us?  It could not be clearer.  To reelect Donald Trump President is ascribing to the same campaign used in other communist soon-to-become Fascist countries.  "I tell you this, but I lie."  Don't believe him.  If never before Americans had to exercise critical thinking and decision making, this is the time.  You are your own best friend, and it is pretty unAmerican.  Trump's supporters are supporting themselves.  We better start doing the same.
