and just plain unfunny jokes

Is there any other kind according to the radical left?

There is no such thing as 'offensive'. That suggests that it is a property of what people complain about. In reality, offense is only taken. Offensive is an adjective that should be reserved for people who take offense at everything.

There is no such thing as 'acceptable' humor, nor anything that would offend no one.

As for punching up. No. That is not the standard. They hate it when you punch up at the elites. They want you to 'punch up' at the classes that they hate, which are often powerless groups. See Greenwald's article about journalists crying 'harassment' after being criticized for trying to deny poor people legal counsel.

Last year, the holiday fell at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic; faced with the unspeakable human tragedy that was unfolding on a daily basis, most companies elected to opt out of the holiday.

We barely had any excess deaths. It was a more lethal than average flu that was deliberately mishandled in order to exacerbate the situation into a crisis that enabled targeted economic destruction and mass election fraud. Now they’re spinning it into a vaccination passport scheme that will normalize both massive government overreach and the complete destruction of both medical privacy and body autonomy. They’ve managed to completely turn our society upside down in just one year.

For all the surveys and polls claiming trust in media is at an all time low, how else can you explain what has happened here? Seems the majority are still very much locked in the grip of mainstream media manipulation.

For all the surveys and polls claiming trust in media is at an all time low, how else can you explain what has happened here? Seems the majority are still very much locked in the grip of mainstream media manipulation.

We know the vast majority of people that are polled, say that they don't trust the media. But in reality many of these people, especially those that align more with mainstream ideologies, end up believing most or all of what the media says, even if they claim to distrust it- this goes for both the left and the right.

People on the mainstream right will whine and moan about "fake news" and people on the mainstream left will whine and moan about "misinformation".

But at the end of they day, both of them are lining up for vaccines to get their vaccine passports, both are tolerating the surveillance state, both will claim to support moderate feminism, moderate Lgbt, moderate anti-racism, both will tolerate corporate dominance of the economy, and so on and so forth.

Both will recoil in horror as soon as you start to truly challenge what is socially acceptable. The only people truly challenging the mainstream narratives on anything, seem to mainly be to the extreme right, with a minority of idpol-rejecting extreme leftists. (not speaking of Antifa, if it weren't obvious- they are idpol to the core)

My point is that, a lot of people -say- they distrust the media, and on a theoretical level, they may understand the concept of distrusting the media. But relatively speaking, very few people ACTUALLY reject the media narratives wholly, or even partially.

Just look at how people react when you question vaccines, when you point out the existence of the elite, when you start challenging socially accepted views on gender and race, or challenge socially accepted narratives about history. The same people that claim to distrust media will often regurgitate the media narratives without thinking.

Not saying it's hopeless- there's an old saying that "If the situation is hopeless, their propaganda would not be needed", which I think carries truth. Gamergate, then the 2016 election, then the 4 year antiTrump smear campaign, then Covid and all the related shenanigans, have woken up a lot of people. Many more are not quite awakened, but in my experience, a surprising percentage can sense something is amiss, especially with regard to the Covid vaccine and the passports.

Jumping off from this, would you say we're more likely to experience a constant slow drip of people changing their perspective on MSM positions until we reach a critical mass, or will there be a big jump or push thanks to an event that will make people dump them more wholly?

I feel like the constant refrain of the same, tired old un-personing labels will wear out their usefulness, and they'll have cried wolf so many times about so many things there will be nothing left they can say that anyone will take seriously.

It isn't about reaching critical mass. There are more than enough plebs ready and waiting for any way to fight back. An organization of rouge aristocrats with the resources to protect and support the proles needs to move against the ruling nobility. There is no such thing as peaseant revolt.

They just don't want to admit they are the fool that can't tell the difference. A few years ago an average news article from today would have been an April Fools joke.

The collective left mindset is remarkably similar to someone with autism. They have no concept of sarcasm because they've been groomed to detect hateful or evil statements and take everything literally. They reject anything that sounds "off" even if it's true. Certain subjects can't be addressed at all. So their comedy is limited to heavy handed insults agaisnt groups who are on a mental whitelist for approved comedy, recited by an individual from an untouchable group.

... lie-filled press releases ...

Journalists hate it when people muscle in on their lie monopoly.

Karens and busybodies suck the fun out of everything, no matter what ideology they've infected lately.
