It's time to face facts. Go cold turkey on Facebook. Delete your account which is hard, but just keep digging, allow hours. But of course FB probably never really deletes any accounts at all so -- yeah, go cold turkey. Tell all your friends & family and stop using it. Stop watching all MSM TV. Get rid of every gadget that starts with the word "Smart" especially those your children are carrying around. NEVER FORGET: #Vault7 revealed that the pedos in the CIA Mafia can easily watch and listen and masturbate to our kids all day long and sell the footage.
I left mine a year and a half ago. Best decision I've ever made. The only time I hear people talk about it anymore is when they are talking about massive polarized arguments they have gotten into. And most of the time both sides are completely misinformed.
I deleted my facebook about a month ago. I have no idea what narratives are right now, mind you.
I had a co worker today tell me that she can't believe what's going on with Donald lying about Obama's wiretapping and that Donald's work with the Russians is going to put us in another world war with North Korea. I asked her where she's getting this information, because I am all over current events and I haven't heard any of these things. She told me the stuff was all over Facebook.
I proceeded to explain to her, very carefully, what about each of her claims were incorrect. And what is happening. And what may happen in the future. What Trump is doing right now. She was argumentative at first, but I kept very calmly reassuring her that I know what I'm talking about. Eventually I got her to hear me and she sort of understands just how manipulated she is being. And that, of her claims that she made to me, none of them turned out to be true.
It's gotten to the point where I am not even all that willing to respond to people who spew a facebook narrative at me. I can smell bullshit when it's right in front of me lol.
Same! Thankfully my coworker who gets her news in the same fashion is always willing to have an actual discussion rather than an argument. Unfortunately whenever I prove a point she just says, well I just have an emotional view of the world.
Yup! Ya sure do honey! And that is how you get manipulated!
I told her that she needs to stop letting these big networks and entities scare her. I said "if the only thing the news did is scare and confuse you today, then you haven't gotten all the news." Let's be real, we live in an ugly world. We even live in an ugly world that is slowly but surely being improved by the whitehats around us. But the only thing that comes from this world isn't ugly. Yeah, I make fun of Buzzfeed because their journalism is just wretched, but shit sometimes I really do need to read an article about how dog lovers are generally happier than cat lovers. Parallel to that, MSM outlets aren't only putting out things that scare us.
I explained to said co-worker that we are reaching a new age of investigative journalism. We have reached a new age of crowd-sourced datamining and compiling. I explained to her that the MSM is absolutely not to be trusted, citing the Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act of 2016, and I saw that she was very receptive to that. It's a lot easier to tell someone who is controlled by the media that they're being lied to by said media, if you can pull up a document that states that the powers that be tell them to lie sometimes.

Better to just stop using it. I bet they are compiling a list of everyone leaving. I'm done with that piece of crap on so many levels.
