Facebook: A Warning and a Suggestion

Facebook isn't exactly a positive place to be.  It is undoubtedly a data-mining operation used by the CIA and other security services to gather information on its users.  In the old days 'spies' had to spend a great deal of time and effort to gather information on people the State were not happy with.  Now Facebook users handover that information voluntarily!

Facebook users give out details such as:

• Name
• Political Views
• Friends and Associates ('known associates' in police jargon)
• 'Hate-thoughts' (often exposed in the form of jokes about officially favoured in groups)
• Likes and dislikes (by clicking a single button, a lot of information is given over)

Facebook is a dangerous place.  People have gone to prison for liking a proscribed idea, or not liking an officially mandated one.

Be careful when you use Facebook.  Only do so if it is useful to the cause.  Keep away from frivolous activity which can be joined together and used against you.

That said, there are some interesting pages/groups on there, which if approached with mind to the fact that the State IS watching, can still be useful.

One such group has the description:

This group is focuses on various ideologies combining social justice for the working class with national patriotic feeling. It discusses Perónism, Gaddafi's Third Universal Theory, Strasserism, National Bolshevism, Ba'athism, Nasserism, Prussian Socialism, Nouvelle Droite, German Conservative Revolution, Fourth Political Theory, National Syndicalism, and other related movements.

The group goes by the name 'Patriotic Socialist Ideology'.  If you find that intriguing, pop by and have a look.
