Richard Wolff on de-dollarization and the decline of the US empire

https://youtu.be/RbSiN-0xeMA

Key points from Richard Wolff:
* The reserves in central banks has been as high as 78% in dollars but are now at 40% dollars
* The #sanctions placed on #Russia has accelerated the process of #de-dollarization because countries can no longer #trust that the dollar is not going to be used as a #weapon against them
* He is worried that people in the #US don't understand that the US is declining and what this means for the #economy in the US
* There are two paths for the future, either ...
* ... #China taking over the position of the US
* ... or a #multi-polar world

The worlds of #propaganda/#disinformation are being shaken up, along with actual #news / #journalism, or efforts at them.

While the big story (traction-wise) seems to be the "departure" of #Fox anti-#truth network's #TuckerCarlson, other shocks/after-shocks are competing for today's news cycle. For starts, @ #CNN

Don Lemon was sacked from CNN (in an effort to get still blander?), while Andrea Mitchell is being roundly blasted for leading and staying on news of "Mr. Biden" seeming unsharp &/or frail, reported while stumbling and completely ignoring the Fox bombs going off.

Tough day in the mainstream #media world! And a huge challenge for the future of #truth & #trust in #journalism and talking heads.

What #Mastodon #server could I #choose?

It's a real #problem you don't know much about the #administration of the servers. A Mastodon server could be a "Trojan Horse" to get your data. Now that they are leaving #Twitter many new servers appear and many admins will close their server next year again because it's too expensive or too much #work.

So here are some points you can check:

  • Don't go to #fosstodon because I am there. Choose fosstodon only if most of the ther points of this list fitt your needs.
  • The donain of the server shouldn't include "Mastodon" because most of the new users search their server via #Google. If they all choose servers with "Mastodon" inside of the #domain it's against #decentralization and the servers are soon overcrowded with much work for the administration.
  • Check the server #information and #background. It's better to choose a server operated by a #community and not a single person. The server should have been only before the #hyoe because not many of the new servers will survive one year.
  • Check the domain. It should be #cool and fitting to the spirit of your posts.
  • Check the servers blocked on your server. Don't choose a server where nothing is blocked because then you know there is no #moderation on your server. If right wing servers are not blocked you are maybe choosing a server of a right echo chamber. If your server is blocked on many others there is something wrong with the administration.
  • At the end its the best to open your own server and be your own #admin. But don't forget that Mastodon isn't running properly on a raspberry pi. The server needs money and time for updates and moderation. So think of donating to your server if possible.
  • Learn about the #Fediverse. You are here on #Diaspora and now you think about going to Mastodon because Elon #Musk is killing Twitter. But why should you go to Mastodon only because the #press #filterbubble is talking about it? Maybe you can be wiser than all the lemmings out there and learn something first with a search engine of your #trust. With #Friendica you can post to the Fediverse and read it on Diaspora and Mastodon.
  • At the end it would be nice if you can follow me on Mastodon: https://fosstodon.org/@anonymiss - @anonymiss@fosstodon.org :)
