Watch with sound on
there are really bad things happening in Armenia. I am Armenian. I hate to get too conspiratorial but oh screw it this is why we build platforms for free speech right?
So here we go The bombs being dropped on Armenia they have NATO markings. No joke.
Seems that Israel actually supports the Azeri side

The so-called Russian bots are in full force on Twitter and I never have any clue if I'm talking to a real person or not if I am discussing the conflict in Armenia with someone on Twitter. I don't know if the bots are actually Russian, I have a friend who studies Twitter and a very deep level that I met in New York City and a fancy Bitcoin dinner that my dad and I attended when I was working for drone energy, a reasonably sized mining concern that was started in my hometown Buffalo.
Geoff insists that most political activity on Twitter is in fact inauthentic and that inauthentic accounts are so easy to come by that everybody is playing this game, the Twitter propaganda game.
Here's what I do know and what I know for sure: my people are dying. They're being attacked, not attacking. Cities are being bombed. Schools are being bombed. Churches are being bombed. Those are the things that I know for sure.
To the blurt community I ask: what can we do?
What can we do, however small, to make this stop?
This question is asked So many times per second, and I have to leave it without an answer as anyone else. There's only one solution. Maybe we should take it with Georg Büchner and the publication "Hessischer Landbote" from 1834:
Peace to the huts! War the palaces!
Well I do like to think that blurt is my small attempt at war the palaces.
Specifically, I think that there is some kind of foul collaboration between governments and large corporations, not small corporations just the really big ones, and that this plus Fiat currency is why we keep seeing a dramatic divergence in wealth.
You see, you can realize truly outsized profits if you can write the laws that regulate the industry that your company participates in.
Because of this, we get huge inequality. I view this problem as kind of inherent to democracy or maybe to democracy at scale. You know the trouble is that democracy doesn't really exist it comes down to the biggest purse.
Even countries they call democracies are really oligarchies and certainly not democracies. The word democracy is worn out, now sounds dull and is a Trojan horse to sell weapons, to take advantage of people and, under the guise of something good, to kill people. If one examines the facts and their effects, which can only be overlooked by force, one cannot come to any other conclusion.
We need to combat the fake news and bots on Twitter with real people and posts... like the one you shared. Retweeted to 11,200 people on Twitter
Blurt posts shared on Twitter can be used to combat misinformation.... Blurt can be used to stop this War on Innocents. We all need to Blurt out the Truth.
OMG , are there constant attacks there in Armenia.
I am really speechless , don't know what to say.
i ll just pray for everyone in Armenia😔.
Unfortunately I have no answer either, but we can see how important a platform like Blurt is and will be in future.
