Well, of course it depends for the reason[s] for boycotting.  Facefuck should be boycotted by those who don't care to have Fuckerburg's creation funneling private information to assorted agencies of spydom. Then of course is another reason in that some of use don't care to be  commodized products in exchange for a "free service".
Now, of course "everything" is a broad stroke. I see nothing, nothing wrong at all for boycotting a subset of info sources for assorted reasons. Part of course is due to upbringing. Lots of stuff got boycotted in the 1970's. Boycotts were a meme of the 1970's. If you were "there" like Rags as a teenager, that meme has rubbed off and is a modus operandi for tossing a virtual Molotov cocktail at stuff. Other early Xer's here show more or less proclivities , as exhibited in their own posts to their own things of derision. Now, a cross reference to Generations, shows that early 1960's cohorts sucked at test taking but excelled at arson. So, there you go Millies for future direct action sorta thingies, are your to go folks. Some Millies are very lucky, very lucky indeed in that selfsame parents happen to be in the group of aforementioned premo fire makers! Yes, you lucky ducks you, you're indeed special, but not special snowflakes. No, y'all are special in you actually deserve everyone [who has parents born in the early 1960's ] have special parents. We all know that special rubs off where it exists, and we have for sure special Millies! Like I said, proclivities.  Like one early 1960's cohort has derision of the source of Molotov coctails, Russia. Yes indeed, just look at the word, "Molotov".  That word has Russian written all over because it ends with -ov. It's like Boris Badanov.




Boris, that's also Russian if I ever saw it.  Yes, that's a Russian name. Let's look see in Wikipedia:

Wikipedia Wrote:Boris, Borys or Barys (Bulgarian, Russian, Serbian, Ukrainian: Борис; Belarusian: Барыс) is a male name of Bulgarian origin.[1] Nowadays, it is most widely represented in Russia (by the number of the name carriers), almost equally in Belarus, less in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Republic of Macedonia, Poland, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Ukraine. In recent generations it has also been used among speakers of Germanic (continental and Anglo-Frisian) and, to a lesser extent, Romance languages.

We do need a bit of digging for confirmation purposes.  See the lady to the right of Boris.  That's Natasha.  Natasha is cool because she smokes. Yes, she's awesome for that, for sure.

So, lets get to Wiki again for some info:

Wiki Wrote:Natasha (Russian: Ната́ша) is a name of Slavic and also Hindu, Sanskrit origin. The slavic name is the diminutive form of Natalia, which means "child born on Christmas". It was traditionally given to girls born in December.[1][unreliable source?]. The Indian Hindu name has several meanings in Sanskrit including, 'of subdued desire'.

I think we're pretty much there. Like, Boris, Natasha is a Russian name for the most part.  So in the Rocky and Bullwinkle show, Spotsylvania is a codeword for the USSR and Boris's hat for sure has to be a symbol for GRU/Spetznav [special forces] in Russian.

Quote:The answer is to use your thinking, reading and intuitive skills, like a human being, instead of like a typical Trump follower. Don't be swept away by emotions and cling to ideologies. Don't believe everything you read; check it out. Compare to known data.

Yes, use your thinking, also for some preemptive culling of news sources is also good. Yes, it's good. It's good because there are so many news sources. However that should be balanced to keep a buffer overflow from happening. Yes it should Buffer overflows occur when a given news site has lots of assorted garbage. Yes, assorted garbage. We don't need no stinkin' garbage! Seee... what sinkin'g garbage does. It turns ppl into Beavis and Buttheads, yes it does. That's what MTV for example does after it jumped the shark and started reality TeeVee instead of stickin'g to its knitting of playing music. Yes, that what MTV used to do, but doesn't do that now. Not it doesn't It has a plethora of stinkin' reality shit. Yes it does. That's why it jumped the shark.

Quote:We are stuck with someone owning media outlets, which means they manipulate you to get more business from you;

I look at alt-media on the interwebs and blogs. Rags lives 90 miles from TeeVee stations which means he'd have to cough up $50.00/month to pay for almost worthless content.  Rags will not flush money down that shitter, no Rags will not do that because that is bad. Rags does not want to pay extortion of 7$/customer to ESPN because ESPN sux! Rags also despises Mickey Mouse always getting his copyright extended. That is bad. Disney needs a boycott for armtwisting assorted governments into keeping Mickey Mouse and other Disney shit copyrighted. Disney is an evil, evil company for doing that stuff. Yes, that company is evil and must pay for its misdeeds! Finally, from Halloween until December 24th, it's basically Black Friday, everyday.  This is also evil, evil, evil. Lot's of our fellow Americans get duped into a meme that they MUST go out and buy shit their friends and family do not need with money, they themselves do not have. That's why there are Christmas loans out there. People get exposed to canned Christmas music which is a dog whistle to let go of financial sanity and blow a bunch of dough on Christmas presents. This is why Rags has smart firewall rules to block out Google. Google is evil, evil evil. Google stores data on those who use it and passes that stuff to the NSA. The NSA is evil, evil, evil because it blows off the 4th amendment rights. The best thing to do wrt NSA is don't use interweb stuff that's directly connected, like Google. Google searches should be replaced with http://www.duckduckgo.com.  Duckduckgo is righteous. Yes it is, because why? That's because duckduckgo does not save search results. No it doesn't. That means if duckduckgo.com gets a "hand over data" from Ispy.gov, they have nothing to hand over. That's why duckduckgo is awesome. Did I tell everyone duckduckgo.com is awesome?  Yes, duckduckgo.com is awesome.

Quote:unless we want the government owning them. Not a much better prospect.

We have US government ownership of our own versions of Pravda. Pravda is also a Russian word. Yes, it is.
Here is the link to pravda. http://gazeta-pravda.ru/
Seee.... Pravda has weird Russian letters, yes it does. It also has the .ru at the end of its web url. That means it's Russian. Yes it is. It's Russian.  The Russians are lying because "pravda" means "truth" thereabouts in English. Yes, that's what "pravda" means. However, the website "pravda" is most likely propaganda because all of those letters are weird which means Rags can't read a damn thing on that web site.   Now... going a bit further. We also have the Russian Times here. https://www.rt.com/   . Yes, here's the Russian Times website. It's Russian well, obviously it calls itself the Russian Times. That means Russians write stuff for it. Yes they do.  It's like Voice of America.  That's the US's version of pravda. Yes it is. The US has it's own pravda because the US has to match Russia in the media wars just like what happened in the Cold War. Yes, that's what VOA is, American styled "pravda". Finally, PBS is for the most part government run. There is of course some input from private sponsors. Yes there is, from private sponsors. Nothing bites the hand that feeds it. Nope, that normally does not happen because it shows shoot oneself in the foot stupidity. Yes, shoot in foot stupidity.

Quote:I'm glad some pressure has been put on facebook to be a gatekeeper,

Yes, but if you have "friends" on Facefuck, you get notified about all of their "likes".  Yes you will. I used to have Facefuck but got rid of 3 different accounts because Zynga pulled Mafia Wars. I was using Facefuck as a gaming platform, yes I was. A gaming platform. The gaming platform used to be awesome, yet it did. But Zynga pulled Mafia Wars, so Rag's use for Facefuck disapeared overnight. Yes, overnight. So I deleted everything and canceled all 3 accounts straight away because Facefuck no longer served a purpose. If Facefuck isn't serving a purpose, Rags got rid of it. Yes, got rid of it. Yes he did.

Quote:like reputable news companies used to be. Facebook is not that, but at least it's something-- although too late to avoid irreparable harm to the people and the planet they depend on.

See... Lot's of folks don't trust Lamestream Media. No they don't. Lamestream Media has been dumbed down. Yes it has, dumbed down. Rags does not want to watch shit like Kardashians.  No, Kardashians and stuff like that suck green donkey dicks. Yes, green donkey dicks, yeah, for sure. And yeah, of course Lamestream Media fucks up the environment. Yes they do.  The Lamestream media promotes wasteful consumption on stupid shit that gets advertised like cheap shit that breaks in a year from China. Yes, all of that cheap stuff from China is bad, bad for the earth because lots of that stuff has pthalates like binkies, toys, etc. Cheap stuff from China goes from Wally World shelves into the landfill in a few months. Yes that's all it takes, just a few months for that shit to break. Oh, and pthalates are endocrine disruptors.  Yes, endocrine disruptors.  Those scramle sex hormone signaling. Yes that's what they do. That's why there's been a rise in diabetes type II, obesity, and sex organ confusion. Endocrine disruptors put boobs on guys and no menstrual times on girls. Yes, that's what happens.  After that some cheap plastic get turned into shards. Wildlife in the oceans thinks that stuff is food , eat that, tummies get clogged with plastic shards, and then they die. Yes, die. So that's how it works.  Cheap shit gets advertised on Lamestream Media , gets bought, it breaks, goes thrown "away", but "away" is always "somewhere", so cheap plastic stuff get exposed to UV which turns it into shards which then get eaten by wildlife, which then die. So yeah, see theres any number of reasons assorted folks choose to boycott the MSM.
