[unsunghero]

I will take this mantle and wear it if you agree that January 6th and at least 75% of police killings count as right wing temper tantrums

Sometimes I think the rich people who actually control the world's governments want us all to have a big, competitive temper tantrum so that we don't tantrum on them when things start getting scarce in a few decades

You know me, I always say that political protests bring out the dregs of society, the lowest common denominator. Usually the ones most prone to escalate

You won’t ever see me at one. But that’s how I roll

[Danth]

You can't seriously think 70% of the country are Trumptards just like you, the voter turnout in 2020 wasn't even that high.

Presumably his estimate includes various independents as well as democrats who also regard the election as having been manipulated, of which there are quite a few. I know a good handful myself. Not everyone who suspects such manipulation was opposed to it. They often regard it as "doing what had to be done" to defeat an individual they regarded as a modern day Hitler in the making.

We have protestors to thank for the privileges we expect under capitalist America. There also wouldn't be minimum wages, child labor laws, general labor laws, OSHA, women's ability to vote, non-whites ability to vote, non-landowners ability to vote, pensions... the list goes on and on.

They didn't oursource labor to 'developing' countries out of altruism, they did it because much of the above may not apply in the country where they put the factory.

He'd never had a single balk in his entire pitching career. There have never been three balks called in a single inning in the MLB I think. Calling a balk at all is rare.

My best attempt at a real answer to Elizondo is probably that the US states are unitary therefore their executive branch are absolutely allowed to do that.

But the left wont let me be me at all. Evertying I love has actual conciquences. If I like a movie, Im guilty of deaths in Ruanda.

[Basanos]

Jib, remember the phrase "no ethical consumption under capitalism"

I do not have to like the hidden ideology in a thing I see or consume to utilize it, it is often enough that I'm aware of it and being conscious of propaganda is often the best defense against it.

I hate cops, but Robocop is one of my favorite movies. I'd abolish the CIA, but I've seen countless spy movies. I despise the US military as an institution, but I've seen ten million movies about soldiers.

And yeah, we can use modern devices invented for profit by capitalists to criticize capitalism. It's fine. The American Revolution was fought with weapons, some of them were even made in England, others were made domestically. If America invades a country and leaves behind a mountain of guns, the people who remain when they leave will probably use those guns.

[Jibartik]

Im just saying that the difference between robocop, and the militerized police we have today, may be between letting the left be in charge rather than what we assumed was the other way around.

[unsunghero]

I’m gonna play Devil’s Advocate here. Yes YouTube does clamp down on things (and I mean CLAMP down) that I don’t agree with, but they also put up with a lot of other shit too

I don’t understand or agree with their weird censorship about things like covid or the past election…but as someone who watches more YouTube than I like to admit, I respect them for allowing more free speech than I used to anticipate

For example, they had to decide on the Transphobia thing…either they allow none of it, or all of it, and they seem to allow all of it. A lot of conservative channels have free reign to make vids seen by hundreds of thousands encouraging people to misgender trans people not out of malice (maybe if it seemed like pure malice it might be censored I dunno), but out of a belief that not encouraging them is healthiest for them. They also allowed to strongly push back against changing rules for trans people and especially gender affirming stuff for trans kids

You can say you think black people as an ethnicity commit more crime per capita and cite crime statistics on YouTube, something that Twitter would probably freak the living fuck out about. You can basically say anything you want, except not about covid or the last election

So yeah, it’s far from perfect. And clamping down on political topics strays deep into election meddling in its own way. But for a big tech company that obviously has far more Dems than conservative staff, it could be a lot worse

Kk time to disagree

[Jibartik]

Well if your argument is that youtube is better than the news, but pretty much just as shitty then sure who's gonna argue with that?

[unsunghero]

Well if your argument is that youtube is better than the news, but pretty much just as shitty then sure who's gonna argue with that?

I think they’re better than News because they allow hundreds of thousands of conservative videos that if you put their CEO Susan Wojciechowski in front of made her watch she would be yelling “REEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!” the entire time

News isn’t like that. Mainstream media won’t even mention that 41 year old that ran over the conservative teen, that shit is memory holed, but they blasted the time a conservative ran over a girl at Charlottesville all over everyone’s faces for months

YouTube could remove all negative stuff about trans people calling it phobia. They could take the Dem approach and say anything negative spoken about black culture is racist. They could say calling covid the Wuflu and saying it came from China is racist and remove all that. I can’t think of anything other than covid treatments or the last election that YouTube would not allow (other than obvious stuff like porn, extreme violence, etc), and that’s far better than mainstream news

[unsunghero]

I also think that while YouTube does probably throttle conservative’s reach, people are mistaking its algorithm trying to feed you more of what you want as bias

For example, I can watch a vid that talks about something politically controversial, and YouTube will go “you want more of that? Here you go” and show me 4 more other channel vids just like it

Whereas I have to go wayyyy out of my way to see Democrat-biased videos. Even when I seek one out the algorithm goes “I know you’re not into that shit so don’t worry I won’t show you more”. If it was biased, it shouldn’t do that. It should constantly sneak democrat shit into my related vids whether I sought it out or not

The obvious strong bias they have that I completely don’t agree with is this fetishizing and worshipping legacy media as some sort of authorities on everything, and pushing their political biased propaganda garbage to the top of search results. But luckily this still happens for conservative channels like fox, there’s just fewer of those

But that related vid feed….is legit. I like

[Jibartik]

For example, I can watch a vid that talks about something politically controversial, and YouTube will go “you want more of that? Here you go” and show me 4 more other channel vids just like it

This is because youtube is a dogshit platform, with awful algorithms that they haven't updated since they bought it.

I get suggested breaking news videos from 4 years ago, no joke.

I subscribe to 400 channels, but the same 4 cover my entire frontpage right now.

For example, I can watch a vid that talks about something politically controversial, and YouTube will go “you want more of that? Here you go” and show me 4 more other channel vids just like itThis effect writ large has always been interesting to me. I have a different take. I see most publicly visible American media as fundamentally conservative, even CNN and MSNBC and such. I say this based on their coverage of American military action and American foreign policy, mostly.

I remeber that Brian dude talking about the "awe" of that missle cruiser launching strikes on... Syria? A few years back. I remember watching it and thinking "This is the network conservatives think is left wing? The only reason this guy doesn't have a visible erection is because his desk obstructs the view."

I've watched them cover stories where they dismissively label civilian casualties as "suspected terrorists" and stuff like that. Or referring to a group of mostly black protestors as rioters, and a group of mostly white protestors as... protestors. This sort of thing happened a lot in the Civil Rights era. The "outside agitators" line is over a century old.

I imagine CNN would tell you they attempt to be centrist, but as I always say, the center in America is pretty right-wing.

I mean, there's no algorithim to feed news stories to the viewer based on past viewed videos like on Youtube, but I think the same forces are basically at work. Analysts can estimate peak viewership, based on those Nielsen boxes and I guess ad space demand, and then slowly realize what content makes more revenue. It's just automated or semi-automated on Youtube.

I remember seeing conservatives gripe (and possibly liberals, dunno) about Google burying search results and thinking that they were just misunderstanding how search engines collate data.

Not saying I trust or that I am a fan of any of these various corps. It all just seems like a big misunderstanding to me. All of them are just abiding by supply and demand, that's an amoral process on paper.

And not that individual parts of segments aren't biased on way or the other, Anderson Cooper and Rachel Maddow are obviously liberals and Sean Hannity is obviously a conservative.

I don't see why anyone falls for the idea that any news network is "unbiased". They are all biased to an extent, they're made by human beings. I think we all just need to get better at spotting bias. There is so much loaded language in the news.

[Jibartik]

The bias on youtube comes from them adding that strange "context" banner on videos that are about

Political opinions that go against the WEF
Medical opinions that go against the WEF
Opinions about the WEF
Opinions about only 1 specific 16,000 year old religion based on aliens.

Everything else is free game.

[Basanos]

Is there no way to remove those banners with an extension? I don't watch much Youtube stuff, mainly because I despise advertisements of all kinds, but when I do you can bet I block everything I possibly can.

[Jibartik]

Maybe if there is AdBlock.

I like to keep them on though, because the pattern is super mysterious and implies quite a bit.

[unsunghero]

This is because youtube is a dogshit platform, with awful algorithms that they haven't updated since they bought it.

I get suggested breaking news videos from 4 years ago, no joke.

Live feeds, of hurricanes from years ago trying to search for Ian footage.

I subscribe to 400 channels, but the same 4 cover my entire frontpage right now.

You have to go to the “new to me” section to get new stuff beyond the same 4 channels

Open it up on a browser, and look at the top bar. You’ll see what YouTube thinks are your favorite categories, here’s mine that it lists:

Gaming, music, chess (this only recently because I was watching vids about the cheating controversy), The Daily Wire, Film criticisms, Fitness, Warcraft, Debates, Motivation

At the end of that list there’s always a box called “New to me” that will show you new stuff related to stuff you already like

I proudly support Daily Wire. You demons for years beat the drums of "build your own google". They are trying to do that with media and entertainment. At least with the Daily Wire you know where they stand, they aren't pretending to be centrist. They know what they are about and I'm fine with that at this point.

I personally don’t give them money

Stations like fox focus more on big picture stuff, government policy, international relations, and fiscal stuff

Whereas daily wire takes a strong focus on cultural issues. The common criticism is that these are insignificant compared to other issues. But between the mainstream stations and these I feel like a lot of bases get covered

[Basanos]

I'm glad to hear that. Daily Wire is funded by billionaire money. They stick largely to cultural issues for a reason, the billionaires that fund it want conservatives mad about those cultural issues because it often gets the listener to vote against their own interests, which usually means the rich get more money.

That's pretty much the entire conservative project. Abortion, "illegal" immigration, gay rights, women's rights, the existence of trans people... they're all just leverage the rich use.

To be fair, they do it to liberals too, through other means. Liberals voting for Democrats are often voting against their interests.

[unsunghero]

I don’t bemoan anyone who donates to the daily wire. I like having a cultural impact perspective

But for example right now they are talking about super fat hip hop artist Lizzo playing on some priceless artifact flute. They’ll have other discussion about policy decisions, bigger picture stuff. But like me, I really don’t give a shit what Lizzo is doing or see why it’s news worthy

I still appreciate the perspective on cultural impact, and I think no one can truly measure the extent our culture is politically manipulated and how that affects us as a society. Some might feel very little, others might feel quite a lot

Alex Jones is the only media outlet that isnt funded by billionares.

It’s always going to be easier to get people’s attention via provocative topics that play to people’s emotion

Topics like monetary policy is over most of our heads. I am not an economics expert, so I really would struggle to weigh in on how the gov’t should spend its money. But I have all sorts of opinions on what I think is racist or not racist, etc

Also outrage sells. It sells almost as good as sex nowadays, maybe even better. Both sides definitely make good use of it. This is why you see me constantly use the term “outrage merchants” for newscasters

[unsunghero]

Alex Jones is the only media outlet that isnt funded by billionares.

“Can you BEEELLLIIIEEEVVVEEE what the GOP/Dems are doing now??!!”

This is basically the headline of every news station in America

If a president was really concerned with unity, all they would have to do is make the FCC make a law/rule where news stations had to lead every news article with something they liked about the other political party. Then they could criticize away. That alone would go farther to unify than any president has ever done

I love the classic line from the libs the conservatives actually vote against their best interest. Which has some truth in it but not for the reasons you’ve ascribed. The reason it’s true is conservatives value all moral pillars and some vote for their own selfish interest. They vote for what’s best for the country as a whole. They are concerned about long term impacts. They don’t vote for shit like college loan forgiveness because it’s a terrible long term plan. They don’t vote for more government control of healthcare, because it’s a terrible long term plan.

Water shortage are completely false when it comes to " Global warming "

Oceanic seafloor cores have proven that every 10-13,000 years the SAHARAH desert becomes a lush green jungle.

The large airstream belts shift south and north during these periods changing distribution of rainfall.

Its all circus. Only morons do not know this.

FYI, all these " SUPER DROUGHTS OMG " are less of a drought than multiple times in the 1800s. Its just fear mongering to push the next agenda

Maybe, but the agenda is usually federal block grants. We got a weird country man.

It coincides with the GIBs quite well.

Since the passage of the Stafford Act in 1988, which automatically triggers federal assistance when the President declares a disaster or emergency, the number of emergency declarations has been on the rise. Increasingly, Congress has been using disaster and emergency funding to evade spending caps and increase unrelated spending.

Unlocks the gibs

Now each governor is talking about how these emergencies will continue to happen over and over, and at the same time, expanding housing into unstable areas, and PRODUCING these situations.

Prior to the IMMENSE AND COLLECTIVELY DEADLY wildfires in CA/OR/WA, the forestry service discontinued ANY AND ALL operations to remove brush and dead debris.

My home town was burned to the ground. It was planned.

They are aware of the cyclic nature of our LONG COUNT seasons. just like the LONG LUNAR CYCLE

What is the pattern of the lunar cycle?
As part of the 18.6-year lunar nodal cycle, the moon orbits around the Earth on a plane that is tilted about 5 degrees relative to the Earth's orbit around the sun, known as the ecliptic plane. When the moon intersects with Earth's orbit at the two nodes, it wobbles.

They just keep repeating the same shit over and over, because they are the people who watched the stars and first observed these cycles and then applied it to population control.

There are many hundred, and thousand year cycles.

The reason i am a doomer is because we built the best system, out of the worst systems. Across the globe the majority of people, seem to want the moral good. Just look at this failed russian mobilization, nobody can get behind this war. The generations today just dont want it. We've made it to peek humanity.

Where we are now, is about as good as it gets. But teh problem is all the corruption from our past.

Old leagacies, empires, and kingdoms that still have influence because of their illgotten gains in the past.

If everyone brings this planet to ruin, and the survivors rebuild from where we are now, all the corrupt will be dead and gone, and the moral good wll have a more fair starting point, now that we have a system that supports the moral good.

If we continue to try to make the best out of the system ruled by our worst, it will never work. It's time to rise like a phenoix from the overgrown forest of the last 2 thousand years.

School is designed to create compliant tax paying, normal people. Free thinking leads to a destruction of society as the people at the bottom don't want to hold up the people on top.

Public school that is. I homeschool, and my kids were all reading/writing around 4. Having kids then sending them away to strangers to indoctrinate them is not why I had kids. The next generation is going to require intelligence, spiritual awareness, and be conditioned against group shame.

Honestly, the shame is what public school instill most of all in people.

Homogeny did not equate to much though. When it was all white, you had.... those FUCKING IRISH, or those god damn ITALIAN bastards!

Everyone loves creating caste to subjugate the lessers. You just give them a little glimmer " At least im better than those GOD DAMN KELETHIN TREE HUGGING "

India had the best caste system where people were just bred and raised with the mindset, " If I shovel shit well, maybe someday I will be a Brahman! " along the lines of our American mindset of, " If I work hard every day I will be rich! " When BOTH systems require you to throw the system to the ground and do it all yourself.

Wanna make a million bucks repairing old cars? You wont working for someone else.

What Olivia Wilde gets wrong is actual “incels” in the way she’s picturing them (entitled, narcissistic, etc) is a tiny fraction of Peterson’s reach. If we think of incels as any man on earth who wants sex and can’t get it for some indeterminate amount of time, then incels are legion. If we think of them in the subsection she is describing, their numbers are very small

What Peterson gets wrong (can’t believe I’m saying those words) is that incels don’t know how to appear attractive to women. They know. It’s not rocket science. They either don’t think they have that within them (which is not always their fault with something like autism) and/or are simply too goddamn lazy. But they know

Peterson gets too emotional too often. I would almost wonder about a hormone imbalance, but I still respect the passion

The euphemisms surrounding abortion just never cease to amaze. It's understandable that they want to sanitize killing a baby and cutting it into pieces and throwing it in the garbage. People call me hyperbolic using language like that, but it's actually not at all. It's just what is actually happening. What's hyperbolic is calling it "women's reproductive healthcare", when you're actually throwing a baby in a dumpster.

It's like if you murdered your neighbor cause his TV was too loud, but you claimed it was "mental health equity" or some shit.

I try not to pile on excessive guilt, but whoever wrote that tweet I’m guessing already has some guilt about a past abortion. So rather than address that in therapy, she went 110% the other way by saying the goal is ABORTION, not choice. As in the purpose of pregnancy was not to intentionally or not create a choice for the woman to keep the baby, the purpose is literally abortion. That’s what it sounds like when you say I’m not pro-choice, I’m pro-ABORTION. It’s like…pro-choice is already pro-abortion. When you make it like there’s not a choice you make it seem like you are celebrating abortion.

AOC recently said something to the effect of “people who aren’t in a position to be able to care for a child” as a reason

If that’s the case, the state will take over. Maybe this might eventually overwhelm the state, I am a realist, I don’t pretend we have infinite money generators like Dems do. And it’s a near-guarantee that being raised in group and foster homes guarantees a hard life. But would it rather be dead? I guess we can assume that for every child who grows up in the foster system and then later kills itself, but even the suicide rate of that community is far less than 50%. So according to odds, if it was allowed to live and you asked it later if it would rather haven been dead than gone through our foster system, it is more likely to say the latter than former

[Jibartik]

people who say people who aren't in a position to be able to care for a child are following this line of logic:

1. bad parents who neglict and hate their children raise criminals
2. crime is bad in general, and i dont like it
3. if we reduce the population and prevent this cycle then there is less crime
4. this makes me happy, and feel the world is safer
5. nevermind the way to make the way safer is to terminate all the kids of the poor, the ones that become bad, and the ones that become good.

Good points, if a bit dark

It depends, parents can screw all kids up to a degree, but serious abuse and neglect can often be spotted, usually by teachers and school counselors, and that kid gets ganked in those situations

But yes, dysfunctional households greater likelihood of producing criminals, definitely

One Party to rule them all, One Party to find them, One Party to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

There's a reason all the workers have to bus themselves into the cities after the progressive's move in.

Mitt Romney is rich and handsome. He also has binders full of women

He would’ve had Ukraine in NATO and Germany using our gas

Competence isn’t respected anymore. You’ll wish you had Romney when president Jon Stewart is doing progressive soliloquies every Sunday from the White House in 2025, telling us all how we’re white supremacists even as alaska elects it’s first native to Congress and Texas republicans sent the first person born in Mexico to the house

Mitt Romney wouldn't do shit to stop all of that. Hell, he's allied with those people right now.

The euphemisms surrounding abortion just never cease to amaze. It's understandable that they want to sanitize killing a baby and cutting it into pieces and throwing it in the garbage. People call me hyperbolic using language like that, but it's actually not at all. It's just what is actually happening. What's hyperbolic is calling it "women's reproductive healthcare", when you're actually throwing a baby in a dumpster.Never ceases to amaze me that you are complaining about using hyperbolic language while using hyperbolic language. Your most consistent trait is hypocrisy.

If you an abort a baby, what's better? That you throw it in the Special Baby Corpse Disposal device, or the garbage? Who cares what the receptacle is called? Who cares what you have to do with the corpse to dispose of it?

If you jizz into a sock, you could be jizzing into the Special Jizz Absorption Apparatus. Whatever you want to call it. It's essentially the same thing as an abortion anyways.

He could have said "abort a baby and dipose of it" but no it's all this hyperbole, while complaing about using hyperbole. At least, historically, calling him out on this shuts him up for a few days

Watched the Texas gubernatorial debate. We definitely have two shitty candidates to choose from. I suppose Beto is better, but he has an exactly 0% chance of winning

Midterm prediction: all the polls say the republicans won’t take the senate. I don’t believe the polls. I think the senate goes 51-49 Republican. No idea the degree to which the house goes Republican but it seems almost impossible that it wouldn’t

/shrug

Beto won't win, Walker will win easily in Georgia because football in the south, Republicans will get 53 in the Senate.

Kari Lake wins and Masters loses. Fetterman will probably lose for his medical troubles, but he was the better choice.

Let's see your cards boys.

[Kaveh]

If Fetterman loses I bet the senate is worse than 53-47

But yeah. I can’t see laxalt and Walker not being pickups. I agree with Lake as well and Beto doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in El Paso

The only reason the railroads are not on strike right now is because someone has been paid to hold them off until after novermber.

Every conspriacy channel on youtube said the stock market was going to crash right after november as well, the only reason it hadn't already is because they were trying to hold onto the pathetic lie that the country hasn't already turned to dogshit since Biden was elected.

The market is real, and they cant totally control it though, so that crash has come a bit early.

So you right though, anyway, after November, America is going to go down the drain.

The entire global economy is collapsing and this time it’s related to a bigger long term trend

Not enough capable / skilled workers being born in advanced societies (even China) and the “developing world” haven’t filled the gap in any appreciable way

You could blame Joe Biden or trump, or Shinzo Abe or Hu Jintao or Xi or every German since reunification, but these are cultural trends towards declining birth rates and none of us have the answer to that. Pretending this is all on Biden is laughable. Pound sterling is at its weakest in decades, was that Joe Biden? Or is it Liz truss creating massive tax cuts in an inflationary environment and spooking everyone with common sense

No see, the idea is to remove the ridiculous euphemisms, which are just hyperbolic in the other direction. "Killing a baby and throwing it in the garbage" is just what is literally happening. I'm just stating what it actually is.

The jizzing in a sock thing being the same as an abortion or whatever your point was is just hilariously weird and wrong. If you mean taking a morning after pill to kill a freshly fertilized egg is roughly as negligible as jizzing in a sock, I GUESS it's better than abortions carried out in the 2nd and 3rd trimester. Which dems want to be universally available, which I oppose. I'm not even hardcore pro life, I support abortions for rape and abortions strictly limited to the first trimester, and lots of conservatives bitch at me for that but hey I'm not religious. I just think killing a healthy baby and throwing it in the garbage is, again, very wrong.

I hope I am wrong but I am expecting Dems to win mid-terms. Roe v wade sorta sunk us, which IMO is kind of disheartening that 50%+ of America still believes that the purpose is merely to control women and punish the poor. That might be the unintended effect, but it was never the purpose

They lead their voters around by the nose with one culture war issue after another because they certainly can't run on policy, everything they want is fantastically unpopular.

I also do not believe polling for a second, and I don't believe this will be enough to save Democrats from their general incompetence come November

We'll see, but either way I am sure I will be disappointed and I am rarely let down there

I doubt that is what will happen, but if it does, boy, that'd be something.

[Jibartik]

Roe V Wade is the most based thing a president has ever done (and he did it when he wasn't even president).

I'm pretty sure it will hand the election to the authoritarian cooperate white colonialist democrat party trying to lower their surplus immigrant population.

But it was def worth it.

The polls haven’t been right in a while and democrats don’t vote. Greg Abbott and Ted cruz are the dumbest mother fuckers on earth but who can the Dems find to run against them? Beto

I will be disappointed when the senate goes R but it’s gonna go R bud. A very unpopular incumbent president in a midterm means the party holding the presidency loses. And the attention span of a democratic voter (18-25 year old) is like a month max

Which sucks because this version of the Republican Party deserves to get its ass handed to it

He was good on the border. Everything else was low IQ

But for example right now they are talking about super fat hip hop artist Lizzo playing on some priceless artifact flute. They’ll have other discussion about policy decisions, bigger picture stuff. But like me, I really don’t give a shit what Lizzo is doing or see why it’s news worthyHey I saw this and it made me actually go back and search for this post.

I am not accusing you of having this reaction, I just thought it was funny and I'm sure the Daily Wire was talking about her playing that flute purely based on Ben Shapiro's weird dork opinions on classical music

[Jibartik]

you can say that, but in less than 1 year the next guy gave twice as much, and in the following doubled that.
