why is anyone surprised his show effected politics after YEARS of the news talking about him and politics in the same breath?

Ignoring him won’t make him go away. The reason he affects politics is because culture affects politics. Everything is politics.

If someone gets on an elevator with 6 people all facing the back wall, even if they don’t understand, they will awkwardly turn to face the back wall like everyone else. If someone sees a bunch of people they respect (read: “he seems like a down to Earth guy”) show their support for Trump, guess what that person is likely to do.

This is the reason celebrity endorsements—oh yay, Swift endorses Kamala—make the news. It’s not because people think Swift is a politician, it’s because they think she’s likeable and not stupid or cruel enough to actually hurt them.

And also, bystander effect, it’s much easier to take a stand when you have a leader. To some, Swift is the jumper-cable spark they need to get involved.

The bottom line is Rogan, podcasts, Tik Tok, Youtube—this is the new media. Democrats can’t keep pretending the only thing people respect is high-brow interviews on 60 minutes.

I’m young enough. You know what I’ve never seen? A single CNN interview. At best, I watch people on Twitch cover them.

Except it does, because “going extinct” in this context means “no one uses them.” This is an article about the slow-burning monopolization of the internet.

No, the point is hurting the aristocracy is good, and I like doing it. This is just intellectual honesty. Taking your opponent’s chess pieces is an aggressive behavior, but it’s still a good thing if you want to win.

Is that Kyle Cease?

[edit] Oh, never mind. I’ve never seen that Sunny D commercial, haha.

Oh my god.

You realize this diagram implies that refuting the central point is built on name-calling and ad-hominems, right? xD

I like the job I have now, too, but I barely got it. If I ever want to leave, I have no idea who to ask to be a reference.

I do. I’m a professional.

That stupid answers thing only got me once, maybe twice, because I don’t let it anymore.

This kind of thing is a lot easier to control, though, when your results are what you wanted and not what you didn’t.

To be completely cynical: they’d blame the jews for hiding this knowledge from them and use it, generally, to sow distrust in the institutions we already have for supporting “non-simulation theory”. (see: flat earth)

Dude, I switched from Google for the first time in my life a couple months ago because I couldn’t take it anymore.

Ads, ads, ads, ads, ads, ads, ads
Ai articles, Ai articles, Ai articles, Ai articles, Ai articles

The fact that google has a built-in graphing calculator just isn’t worth it.

I won’t forget this, actually: I was looking up what to do next in a game I was playing—very deliberately, I care a lot about spoilers—and the “people also ask” section implied, for no reason, this had nothing to do with what I wanted to know, that a character who died really early on apparently has things to say in chapter 9.

My real frustration is having to deal with people like you every time I say I’m doing something independent.

Good. I love vote shaming.

You lost us Roe v. Wade.

Do you blame the democrats for nominating Hillary Clinton, or the independents who didn’t fall in line?

Both.

… to fall in line if a Progressive wins the nomination?

Unless they’re a DNC candidate, they won’t.

Do you know how many people you need to convince to move over to one, not several, third party?

Let’s look at the 2020 election results:

81,000,000 Biden
74,000,000 Trump
 1,800,000 Jorgensen  
   400,000 Hawkins  

Are you going to convince seventy five million people to choose one single other candidate?

And what then? You realize if they did win, they just become the new establishment, right?

What happens when someone like you doesn’t like the way Hawkins handled the mess at the border that Trump left and starts another “shit sandwich, fart taco” fiasco about moving to a 4th party?

The green party got 0.2% of the total vote, man. That’s not enough. That’s not nearly enough. You need over 50.0%, and they were aiming for 5.0%.

Yeah, this is exactly why we should just glass Florida. No innocents there.

Dude, stop being a fucking child.

Nobody forced them to live in the country they were born in?

That’s… that’s not what they’re saying.

Yeah, the “average person” has greater specificity.

What is the mathematical definition of “slight”?

Well done! You got the joke. :)

We should be inserting them into congress.

And how are you going to convince, let’s see, something like 130 million people to just go along with that plan?

Do you actually want change or are you just bitching?

That was a great read. I love take downs.
