All makes a lot of sense, especially when backed by the linked studies and what the reporters found in these groups. I've said on here for years that older generations that didn't grow up with the internet are much more likely to be tricked by actual Fake News (and studies have backed that up). Growing up with it you learn to build a healthy skepticism and how to distinguish a legitimate source. Boomers are spending more time on social media than Millenials now and it clearly isn't good for them.
This paragraph summarizes it well:
However, boomers, a majority of which voted for Donald Trump, didn't grow up with the internet, and didn't develop their relationship with technology in the same was as subsequent generations. They're soaking up the latest tech but they may not necessarily be as skeptical of less mainstream platforms like 4chan and 8chan (another, even fringier platform where Q now posts his/her/their latest updates), places where trolls reign supreme and people often fabricate events out of thin air just to get a rise out of others. Boomers are looking for political content to share, and these forums have plenty to give. Whether or not it's factual often takes a backseat to whether or not it's provocative.
I'm not sure anything annoys me more on these forums than willful ignorance. Ridiculous religious beliefs, political beliefs, etc. I thought that was the same thing here. It is becoming more and more clear though that this is just the result of a very susceptible and fragile group of people latching onto the ramblings of an internet troll so that they can feel like they have meaning. Mental illnesses or elderly delusions aside. Even though there has been some mainstream talk it still seems like mostly a fringe group that can't really affect anything in the real world, which is good. It is just the perfect storm of sad, lonely, not tech-savvy people just wanting to feel like they belong to something.

It does makes sense though. Just like the "Servers" talking points from a few years back. The story was that the FBI never got the DNC's servers. Which is correct the FBI never got the physical DNC servers. They gave the FBI the copies of the servers, which the FBI installed in their own virtual environments. The hackers never physically touch the DNC servers so there was not reason for the FBI to take them. All the forensic checks were done on the virtual servers, which are exact copies of the originals.

Internet? Or World Wide Web?
Or are you going to argue semantics Karen?
Wow, you really don't understand the graph. It's pretty much spelled out for you Karen. Maybe you should ask for a manager to explain it to you?

Funny stuff, the Internet was created in 1969.
I was introduced to the Internet in 1986.
To say the “older generations” didn’t grow up with the Internet is an ignorant statement.
Boomers: This generation generally includes anyone born in the US between 1946–65. Maybe you have a difference definition of when someone is "growing up"?

In a statement on Saturday, however, Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany denied Trump's knowledge on the matter.
McEnany said "neither the president nor the vice president were briefed on the alleged Russian bounty intelligence," Reuters reported.
So baby cow is going with option #2. They knew about it since March. Don't worry Putin says it isn't true and we already know that when it comes between what Putin says and our and our allies intelligence agencies say. Cheetos Jesus is going to side with Putin, again.

What none of the Trumpers are going to explain why Cheetos Jesus retweeted a video of one of this supporters yelling "white power"?

Citing officials briefed on the matter, the Times reported that President Donald Trump was briefed on the intelligence findings and that the White House's National Security Council held a meeting about it in late March.
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said in a statement Saturday that the President and Vice President Mike Pence were not briefed "on the alleged Russian bounty intelligence."McEnany said her statement "does not speak to the merit of the alleged intelligence but to the inaccuracy of the New York Times story," which said Trump had been briefed.McEnany did not deny the validity of the reported US intelligence that a Russian intelligence unit offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants to carry out attacks on coalition forces in Afghanistan.https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/27/politics/russia-us-troops-afghanistan/index.html

I already told you this is in reference to a nearly 20 year old study. You sure are committed to making Americans look like a bunch of racists. I'll give you that much, but your reading and retention skills are clearly holding you back.
Yes, I understand it is 17 years old. But since you don't like the more recent studies, let go back to the simple one. We have to take baby steps here. So 17 years ago there was a problem with bias of people with black names. Right? There are no clubs to blame the bias on in this study. Why did people with black names have to send out more resume for the same result of the white names resumes?

You have been given the evidence and can't even see there is a problem. The only different in the resumes send out in this study is the person name. The resumes with with names like Emily and Greg vs Lakisha and Jamal. The Lakishas and Jamals had to send out 15 resumes for one callback. Compared to Greg and Emily who only had to send out 10 resumes for one callback. Again the only different in the resumes was the names.

Ok. Now I know you don't understand what your own link is about. I'm done. You're clubbing people with the wrong weapon. I'll only suggest you read your links first next time.
That is the summary of the study.
We perform a field experiment to measure racial discrimination in the labor market. We respond with fictitious resumes to help-wanted ads in Boston and Chicago newspapers. To manipulate perception of race, each resume is assigned either a very African American sounding name or a very White sounding name. The results show significant discrimination against African-American names: White names receive 50 percent more callbacks for interviews. We also find that race affects the benefits of a better resume. For White names, a higher quality resume elicits 30 percent more callbacks whereas for African Americans, it elicits a far smaller increase. Applicants living in better neighborhoods receive more callbacks but, interestingly, this effect does not differ by race. The amount of discrimination is uniform across occupations and industries. Federal contractors and employers who list “Equal Opportunity Employer” in their ad discriminate as much as other employers. We find little evidence that our results are driven by employers inferring something other than race, such as social class, from the names. These results suggest that racial discrimination is still a prominent feature of the labor market.

Here's a big problem with you. Ready? You still seem to be under the impression I give a fuck about Trump. I don't. If trump died today I would give zero fucks. But I'll never vote for Democrats because, frankly, people like yourself are the worst thing that's ever happened to this country.
Nothing is my post was about Cheetos Jesus. It's just the reality of the situation. So you aren't going to wear a mask because you are a kid and they can't tell you what to do. But if it is mandated you won't be going into privates businesses or govt building. It is now required where I live and the bigger stores already have security there for the Karens like yourself.

I didn't cherry pick anything. You can write a paper that comes to the right conclusion with completely useless data. Happens all the time.
I think there is something about studies like these that needs to be said. I've personally met black people named Tom, Dick, and Harry. That's not whiting up a resume. You think white people put shit like "I like to go muddin' and shoot thangs fer fun" on a corporate resume? How does a white person project whiteness on a resume exactly? It's not a tell-all diary of sorts.
What I've been saying is,, I wouldn't put anything on my resume about activism. Period. It's not worth the risk. While a few companies disturbingly can make a profit off it, most can't. It's not what they're after. To somewhat prove my point, I'll "cherrypick" from your link since I'm being accused of it:
We find that the use of techniques for concealing or downplaying one’s racial minority
status remains a potentially important response to anticipated racial discrimination in employment. Indeed, we find broadly similar responses among black and Asian job seekers, even though members of these minority groups are faced with different challenges and stereotypes in labor markets. Clearly, while racial “passing” and “covering” have a long history in North America (Hobbs, 2014; Yoshino, 2006), such practices are still very much alive today. Employment outcomes, therefore, do not simply reflect a one-sided, employer-driven process but, rather, the joint influence of the decisions of employers and the actions of job seekers who attempt to influence employers’ decisions through self-presentation.
One important implication is that signals of racial assimilation and conformity may be
critical variables in explaining labor market inequalities. Many of our respondents emphasized that what matters in getting a job is not one’s racial minority status itself but, rather, the degree to which that status is salient and the type of racial minority that one is perceived to be (e.g., “a really Asian Asian” versus a somewhat “whitewashed” one; or a black worker who “fits within a certain box” versus a potentially outspoken black worker who cares deeply about racial issues).I basically said just that, far less eloquently, a few posts ago. The problem doesn't seem to be white or black people in general. Rather it seems to be corporate policy towards activism, in this case.
Now, the name altering thing is a whole 'nother ballgame. I never said that wasn't a problem, nor that I condoned it. I don't know why you're asking me dumbass questions about what I'll admit to. I've already told you.
Again the study was about resumes that were the same except for the person name. Nothing about clubs or activism. Why you keep going back to your talking point, I don't know. I guess it's the easiest way to avoid talking about the study's results. Why does someone with a black name have to send out 15 resumes for a come back, when someone with a white name only have to send out 10 for a talk back.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. intelligence has concluded that the Russian military offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants in Afghanistan to kill American troops and other coalition forces, the New York Times reported on Friday. Citing officials briefed on the matter, the Times said the United States determined months ago that a Russian military intelligence unit linked to assassination attempts in Europe had offered rewards for successful attacks last year. Islamist militants, or armed criminal elements closely associated with them, are believed to have collected some bounty money, the newspaper said. The White House, the CIA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence declined requests from Reuters for comment on the Times report. President Donald Trump has been briefed on the intelligence finding, the Times said. It said the White House has yet to authorize any steps against Russia in response to the bounties. Of the 20 Americans killed in combat in 2019, the Times said, it was not clear which deaths were under suspicion.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/01/donald-trump-vladimir-putin-g7-call
Donald Trump has offered to invite Vladimir Putin to an expanded G7 meeting in September, but the invitation has already been adamantly opposed by the UK and Canada.
According to a Kremlin account on Monday, the US president initiated the call, in which the two leaders talked about the coronavirus pandemic, oil prices and cooperation in space, as well as Trump’s postponement of a planned G7 summit at Camp David this month and the inclusion of other countries.
“Donald Trump informed about his idea of holding a G7 summit with a possible invitation from the leaders of Russia, Australia, India and the Republic of Korea,” according to the Kremlin readout. There was no mention of the wave of unrest in US cities. Some hours later, the White House had not produced its own version of the conversation.
Trump raised the possibility of inviting Russia on Saturday, after the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, had made clear she would not attend the Camp David summit.
“I don’t feel that as a G7 it properly represents what’s going on in the world. It’s a very outdated group of countries,” Trump told reporters.

1. Your experience doesn't reflect the majority boomers.
2. Unless you were still a child when you first connected to the internet, you didn't grow up with the internet.
3. Even if you were a child when you first connected to the internet, the social networking infrastructure wasn't anywhere near what it is now.
Me having to explain these basic facts, shows you aren't as smart as you think you are Karen. You completely missed the point of Woody's post.
