Also, the implicit implication of the user youre responding to is that people objecting to this for privacy reasons do not also object to those other things for similar reasons, which is definitely not the case. Just because something is the status quo doesn't mean you can just assume people are cool with it.
See you boys in the gulag.
Stuff like this really hammers home just why the manga sections at bookstores I go to have literally quadrupled in size over the past decade. Not even an exaggeration. Every time I go I marvel at just how huge it's gotten.
The most discouraging thing is NPCs would ride the wild roller coaster all over again with glee if something comparable started up tomorrow. They have learned nothing. Govern me harder daddy.
....what does this mean? Is there anything concrete that makes this more real than the years and years they have already been preparing for it? Did something happen?
It really is a little frustrating that hordes of people downvote him for literally anything. Like to an extent I get it, but also sometimes it's like "this is actually a pretty solid post and if someone else made it it would be doing very well."
Allegedly they were opening up the checkbook and offering him a ton, which would make sense for them to do. But selfishly I kind of hope he does his own independent thing. I think that would be the most effective way to get his message out there.
From your mouth to God's ears.
Pretty sure it's the community notes thing. You have people duking it out behind the scenes and I think it's a matter of what gets more up votes after a certain amount of time or something?
Definitely much better than it used to be; that isn't really debatable. Doesnt mean it isnt still a shithole though.
That being said, I do chuckle every time I see an NPC or an establishment politician get a fact check banner under their post basically calling them out on their BS.
Japan is an interesting case because the politicization and polarization of all nooks and crannies of society has not progressed anywhere near as throughly as the west. So this enables them to reach conclusions that would be immediately censored in the west, and potentially even make said conclusions mainstream thought, without being canceled. The only issue is making their government bend the knee to them.
Probably. Watch them make it illegal to do so though. Then it just becomes a matter of how trackable and enforceable it is.
Word games aren't just part of their arsenal, they are one of the most critical and fundamental components of it. Because linguistic propaganda is super effective on normies, who have the memory of a flea.
Because most normie conservatives are still in the "I need to do everything I can to not appear to be racist" camp. Worshiping black conservatives is part of that whole shtick for them.
I think it's less that it took so long to move forward and moreso that it was just kept under wraps for various reasons.
Yep. I have no love for Crowder but the DW deserved to be put on blast for offering such a shitty contract enshrining being in the good graces of big tech firms that they are supposedly at odds with as big monetary incentives in the contract.
Filed for divorce I imagine.
"She is wonderful, beautiful, and enough."
Enough, lmao. I can never get over the ridiculous language these retards use.
Imagine being that well connected and still drinking the Kool-Aid that damn hard.
Did the right not come up with it? I've only ever heard it mentioned in right wing circles.
Nah it's pretty hilarious and accurate. Everyone being honest with themselves knows Q was blown way out of proportion as a strawman punching bag for the left to wail on. Patriots.win had like hundreds of thousands of subs and the Q forum in this same site had like 10. Barely anyone believed that shit.
Meanwhile leftists are constantly plugged into the mainstream "current thing" narrative all the time. Just because there isn't a singular centralized entity dictating that narrative (that can be easily pointed to), doesn't make it any less ridiculous than the retards believing "just two more weeks" Q retardation.
I've seen like 5 Tucker clips in the past few years. Nowhere near enough time in the day for that shit. I know it must be so hard to cope with the fact that someone can think your take is retarded without being a hardcore superfan.
Generalizations are 100 percent necessary to have any meaningful discussion about many of the topics discussed on this board. That doesn't mean there aren't plenty of individuals that buck the trend, and it doesn't mean people shouldn't do all they can to help those that seem helplessly predisposed towards being apart of the trend. This is setting aside whether or not this specific generalization is accurate or not.
My parents are hilariously frustrating with this. I will go on and on to them about how insidious TV is and how propaganda-laden all TV news outlets are and they will totally agree with me. Won't stop it from being on the TV though. And if I am there and I see it on and I mention it again, they will agree but then say "we know it is biased BS but then where would we get news from?"
Where in this thread is anyone saying that? Do you feel no shame at all strawmanning that hard?
