Welcome to Litsy!

I honestly think more people should read/listen to this. It‘s eye opening how social media is being used to manipulate what we see/hear and how that influences us. It sounds conspiracy theory like but MR has exhaustive research and examples of when and how the public is manipulated using ‘stories‘ and algorithms. I understand why 🇨🇦 gov‘t blocked news being on FB and IG but the stupid shit is still getting through so it‘s a half assed attempt

Snow White bag #10 the roof gets a fresh thatch

Snow White bag #9 6/7 dwarves and a roof for sleeping under. I‘m flipping between this book and Taylor‘s TTPS ( so far my favourites are Florida and thanK you aIMee - I love a good F bomb )

Snow White bag #8 bed time for 5/7 dwarves, Snow White is reading Go the Fuck to Sleep by Adam Mansbach to them. This book is blowing my mind and illuminating some stuff I ignored irl. Facebook is the devil, as is Zuckerberg

Fascinating premise, but the execution was clunky - dialogue heavy instead of actually showing events, which made it seem longer than it was. Still fascinating considering it was published in 1937. In this envisioned future world domination is split between Nazi Germany and Imperialist Japan. Women are treated as cattle, good only for bearing children. Homosexuality among men is the norm and Hitler is worshipped as 7 foot tall, blond Aryan god.

Snow White bag #7 Bashful has arrived 4/7 dwarves are accounted for

Halfway through and this is frightening because it‘s happening here again. If you think it‘s not….you are not paying attention. VOTE like your future depends on it….because it does.

This is a well-researched, well-written book about the USA‘s previous flirtations with fascism. Maddow narrates the book in an engaging way, occasionally throwing in a touch of her trademark snark. The only thing I‘d have done differently is I‘d have laid out the two eras side-by-side so that the parallels couldn‘t be missed. But Maddow trusts her audience, so she concentrates on the Hitler era. Continued with Veronica Speedwell on my #audiowalk
