    Media/Journalism Cringe Megathread - Hot off the Presses

    Yeah, I think there is definitely a there there, though I do try to generally stay away from it since it is a much more, poetic truth than a simple fact. Like, a spirit of optimism, a Warriors soul, and Uncle Sam do mean something when I say it to people. What exactly those words mean though is...

    Well, except Nixon lost the South in 68. Wallace won it. in 72 Nixon won the South, but he literally won everything But Massachusetts. A "win literally everywhere" strategy seems hard to define as "southern". Jimmy Carter then got elected in 1976, in large part on the Southern Vote: (A...

    Eh, it makes perfect sense within the logic of what they believe. Its just that what they believe is literal Satanism. Some literally, most seemly in the metaphoric sense. Like, I've recently discovered Marx apparently wrote quite a bit luciferic poetry...

    While there is some merit in hiding your power level, on the other hand if your not drawing any flak your probably nowhere near the target either. At the definition of today, I'm not sure "mere racism" is even really all that terrible. It does not make sense to treat it as the great Satan it...

    I don't think he's being spineless, just him recognizing he can de-facto ignore the Supreme Court with no consequences. This is basically a continuation of the Obama policy anyways: he got 44 9-0 supreme court decisions, and many more party line votes, and it doesn't matter because even if his...

    This comes down to, will the police follow biden, or the supreme court? My bets on Biden. Most of the local forces I think want to support Biden anyways. Now, I've always had some issues with the SC being this super legislative body to decide the law of the land, so treating them as 9 people...

    ... democrats have been the establishment for 50 years, at least. I would put it closer to 90 years as a practical matter. Or at least, leftists have been. The Right occasionally gets a president in who can slow things a little bit, but generally get rid of him as well, such as Nixon after his...

    I think James Lindsay in his most recent video on this puts his thumb on it: the point of Critical theory is Praxis, or Activism. The ideas being championed only matter so far as they allow the advancement of the activism. They don't actually care about ideas.

    Assuming I'm looking at the right Joe Scarborough, he was a Republican until about 2017, and at least in the 1990s seemed to be a fairly mainstream Republican more or less full throatily supporting the Gingrich Program. So, he probably has memories not liking Obama on a number of things, as...

    So, yeah. That's basically and amittance the people who own the country have no interest in dieing for it. The people the government hates and wishes would just shut and die will be doing all the dying.

    Of course that wont stay true in the case of a chinese war. Well be conscripted and made to die so we can become less free and more like china. My taxes of course will be taken to support it no matter what. But sure, for now its volunteer and the people who own the country can die for it. I...

    Sure. Its their country. They can sacrifice for it. I dont see the moral reason to voneteer to sacrifice myself to make my position worse. I'll fight if conscripted and pay my taxes because I'm a coward. I just would like if I didnt have to pretend to be enthusiastic about it as well.

    I mean, it's not really our country at this point, so the people who the country belongs to can die for it.

    The big thing it seems to be claiming is that Smartmatic and dominion dont actually have a meaningful relationship, since the connection to venesuela and Soros are through Smartmatic. I don't remember enough to say if that fact is true or not. But, that fact check is mostly true if you accept...

    Now, they were still plenty radical. Lenin was an immense radical, he just wore a suit. Same with all thr fabian socialists of the time. Dont confuse not being a crazy frothing at the mouth crazy person with nit being a radical.

    Yeah, I'm not really sure what the boomers have to do with cheap credit. The cheap credit from my understanding has to deal with printing money and, if anything, Chinese saving. I mean, were already stealing from the Boomers en mass with inflation, which is its point. Not that the boomers are...

    I mean, there is a backlash. Le Pen, AFD, Salvini, Bolsinaro, Putin, Trump, and the hungarian guy do speak to a much harder push against Globalism than there has been history. For example, in the 1990s and 2000s the globalist was basically the unchallenged mainstream and it was assumed the EU...
