Its not that they think people don't disagree with them. Its that they thought they were the good guys of the story (aka destined to win) and had the upper hand enough to not ever have to worry about "sliding back" regardless of what the deplorables think.
The notion that their enemies still exist in enough number and have the capability of making real opposition to them is terrifying because they know they can't win on any front beyond demoralization and social.
I think they would have more monetary value than expected if they were off of cable and its restrictions.
SyFy has a huge catalogue of B Movies or one-off science documentaries that people would probably subscribe to. Oxygen has similar with true crime documentaries for women's masturbation. And USA has a lot of those long running series that somehow had good ratings despite no one ever talking about them like Burn Notice that would do well with the "need something to binge" crowd.
If they were offered as pieces of a decently priced sub, they'd all easily see good numbers again I think.
Its still a AAA game with a huge amount of talk happening about it, regardless of how bad it might actually be. The AI is probably just pulling positive blurbs from some of the top traffic sites and calling it good.
Its more indicative of how useless AI really is beyond summarizing a wikipedia page for you and how completely useless the majority of gaming press still is.
You know this is one of those situations where some retard looking for a buck tried to sue a company because of their lactose intolerance and the "pain it caused" and now there is just a sitting law on the books about how you need it to be in the legal green.
Because that's one of the best friends of the government overreach. Impulsive and whiny losers happy to set up the pins for them to knock down.
The narrative that our "base" instincts are something terrible to be overcome appears to represent the world view
And the world view where our "base" instincts are all wonderful and should be pursued at all times is the world view of pure hedonism and savagery. Its the one that hippies, sluts, and niggers live in every day.
Controlling and channeling our instincts is what makes man man and not monkey, and allowed us to create everything great that we are.
I see we are coming full circle back to "bad words make the children evil!"
Also if you want to come after AVGN for corrupting influence, try citing his chugging of beer to deal with his emotions and how unhealthy a coping mechanism that is. Its dumb, but its much more valid.
But that would probably get most of your side too and no one wants to be that guy who calls out the alcohol problem.
I think the places it was the least successful were showing us where the rot ran deepest and had the longest history of pulling such activity.
Arizona was owned by McCain for decades and cheered him protecting Obamacare with his last dying breath to stick it to Trump. Its almost a lost state with how RINO it is.
It was obvious from pretty early on they were trying to pull their usual shenanigans.
But Trump's daughter in law and all of the various legions it seems she set up were prepared for it and cut it before they could really accomplish much with it and spooked a lot of them on the ground out of trying anything major. It was an impressively done plan and it seemed nearly every time something cropped up they had people moving against it, and if they were being truthful they even had the sense to keep quiet about how well organized it was until after the election instead of boasting.
Hopefully the Republican Party learned something from this (lol) and continue to employ the same tactics into the future, because its clear the Dems couldn't even manage to handle the slightest resistance to their plans and it derailed them almost entirely.
Tabula Rasa was a legitimate Psychology theory in the mid 1900s for a handful of years. A lot of wild and downright evil experiments were done to try and prove it, and they consistently came up empty. So it was thrown away as a scientific approach to how humans work and think.
But the Left literally builds its foundation on the notion of it, its why they say things like "teach men to not rape," even though they don't use the actual term anymore due to its negative connotation.
Because it means humanity can't rise from its barbarity or cruelty.
Humans have tens of thousands of years of feral instinct, a whole lot more than that if we count pre-human animals, and maybe only a few millenniums of civilization.
Its a supreme act of arrogance that only a Liberal could have to think that we can force evolution to happen at our desire and leisure. Its truly believing we can be God.
Wouldn't be the first time that a major concept at the heart of Leftism and the Woke is them completely misunderstanding a legitimate thing and then parading it around.
Rape culture and Tabula Rasa are two others they do it to daily.
That's just one of the proofs that Mauler isn't anywhere near the Right. His criticisms over prior works were purely from an incompetence level, instead of a malicious one. You give him a high quality work without a historical or direct writing failure and he can't begin to discern the issues with it.
That was obvious before he even got big off TLJ, wherein he made a 13 hour video series shitting on Hbomberguy and how much of a shithead twat he was, but then ended it saying he was still going to watch the guy and he was otherwise an awesome, smart dude.
Its a real problem across all angles of our "side" where people assume that because someone fights one battle with you, they must be as "woke" to all the same things you are.
Crunchyroll is literally only as big as they are by being so fucking evil that they managed to weasel their way into getting contracts with companies in Japan to become the "legitimate" anime site and killing off competition from piracy.
Like, they were a literal bottom bin site, until they launched a Facebook clone on site where you could find and groom underaged weebs to your heart's content with minimal moderation. Which got them huge numbers of users that looked promising overseas and then they quietly pushed that part of the site to the back.
Mauler
Mauler is pretty well known to be a Leftist and he only ended being seen as more by people on the Right because his autism didn't let him get programmed towards slop as easily. Same with a lot of people on your list and the Fandom Menace as a whole.
They claim to have spent almost 20 billion with a b dollars after it was all done in damages. I know hundreds of guys who lost their jobs, generation spanning career and eventually everything that depended on that income who never saw a dime.
They literally paid the Feds apology money, paid for a bunch of photo ops of ducks getting cleaned off, and then just went about their business.
Its not a virtue, but it is a necessity because we don't live in a perfect world where things always work out with logic and reason.
I gave you a concrete example of a situation where it is necessary for your own benefit, while you keep talking in philosophical circles.
I've never really watched him besides seen clips and commentary about him.
Then you are only seeing a carefully curated version of him made to make him seem based and rebellious against the Powers That Be.
Which is how he gets people to fall for his grift, so he can have people ready to say "he doesn't seem that bad, and hates the Jews so he is cool" every time he says some fucked up, anti-helpful nonsense.
Because 20 something dudes who are noticing Jews too hard aren't gonna give a shit about McConnell.
But they will easily fall for another young dude telling them everything they want to hear and making them expend their energy in irrelevant rallies acting like they are the toughest badasses fighting the real fight.
Things can be unacceptable but still needing to be tolerated.
Someone's baby crying at an inopportune moment for example. You have a low chance of stopping it, and most actions taken will only make the situation worse for no gain. You don't tolerate the behavior of the parent, because they are in the wrong for not removing the baby from the situation, you tolerate the situation for your own sake.
Letting them control language and how words are used is just ceding ground to them endlessly. Needing to remove all nuance from how you speak to nail every single word and concept down to pure black and white nonsense is just admitting they have won and destroyed our ability to just understand something without spelling it out for a debate team.
we'd have to seal our borders and prevent the entry of low skilled foreign workers
Never forget that the US lost some billion dollars in food industry thanks to British Petroleum causing a spill in our waters causing tens of thousands of jobs to be lost instantly and a huge source of food gone for decades. And they got off with a fine that was 'promised' to go to those effected, but ended up being given to "Clean Water" programs and the Federal Government instead.
Which is why a huge amount of certain seafoods now are imported from farms in China to meet quotas, instead of bought directly from American families who are all still out of work.
Point is, its not just the low skill foreigners destroying American production.
Tumblr had an entire subculture of basic white girls who shoplifted, with entire lexicons, tutorials and culture about themselves. It was shockingly large for being an open criminal element, likely only allowed because of how little anyone took it seriously being a mix of women, who get off on all crimes, and them stealing mostly vanity goods.
The News Networks have become increasingly online in their offerings. Why would anyone watch something on a television (that few people still have or pay for) with a strict time schedule when they could watch the exact same thing on Youtube from the literal official channel whenever they have time for free?
Like, this isn't just a "cable news is dying" thing. Its also a "news orgs have adapted to the times vaguely so their old method isn't the only option available."
