Media/Journalism Cringe Megathread - Hot off the Presses

[Terthna]

And after all we know she was threatened and harrassed and basically given no other option.

Even if Trump has this in the bag, it's going to look more and more like Biden is our next president through the Dems intimidating everyone besides Trump and his supporters into submission; it won't be until SCOTUS rules in Trump's favor that the illusion will shatter, assuming it actually happens.

 

[Archmagnus]

So, how bad is it going to get?

Keep your rifle by your side.

The Left is doing everything they can to present Biden presidency as done deal, and any legal action Trump is making as him stealing the election. If Trump wins after all, the propaganda-fed leftists will be primed to riot and commit violence on anyone on the right like never before.

Even if Trump loses in the end, that might just embolden the left, some of the already talking about making lists and reeducation camps for Trump supporters.

So yeah, it might get really ugly.

Or Trump may yet win and start dropping insurrection acts whenever commies try rise up.

An interesting choice in title by the Guardian which they later fixed after regular people took one look at it and wondered if their editor's brain had broken.

Child labour doesn’t have to be exploitation – it gave me life skills
Growing up in Africa taught me to be self-reliant and resilient. Putting children to work must be seen in local context

Child labour is exploitation – but the household work I did as a child gave me life skills

That really depends on how you're defining 'child labor.'

Things like 60 hour weeks in sweat shops is obviously out.

Expecting children to contribute to chores around the house, there's nothing wrong with that.

Something like a 10-12 year old running paid errands after school, like the stereotypical paper route in the US, I don't see a problem with that.

The real sticky thing, is when you're looking at a place where a kid working a job 4 hours a day, 5, 6, or even 7 days a week, is the financial difference between the family being on the edge of starvation, and being well-supplied? That's when it starts getting hard to say.

Chinese Government Lays Off Entire Propaganda Team As American Media Doing Their Job For Them

BEIJING—The Chinese government has laid off its entire propaganda arm, cutting thousands of jobs at China Central Television and other state-run media outlets as the American media is already doing their job for them.

Babylon bee. Just so you know.

Anybody ever hear of Chris Ray Gun? He got big on Youtube off of talking about Gamergate, and mocking the regressive leftists who were trying to accuse people who played video games of being racist, sexist, and whatever "ist" they could think of. He even appeared on Dave Rubin's show a few times. Anyways; here's him mocking Trump and his supporters:


What is with former Gamergate supporters eventually embracing the very regressive leftist culture the movement stood against?

Because it gets them views

It's not just the media personalities though; people I knew from the Gamergate thread over on Spacebattles also went crazy (like Ugolino, for example), as did many over on the KiA subreddit (including the moderators; which necessitated the creation of KiA2).

I honestly don't know then

Reminds me of r/LoveForLandLords

They kept on spending many many posts going on about "Rightoids" and dumping on them when Biden "won" and such.

Also, glad KIA2's back, took 1-2 days but I was allowed back in. You have to have had previous good non-douchey experience on KIA and KIA2 before to be allowed in.

Yeah, I know it's kinda sad that they're putting in more rules as to whose allowed in or not, but my experience which even those on KIA agree, is that when you turn the other cheek they hit you with a jackhammer and proceed to piss on you and slander you anyway.....so I guess they got tired of all the trolls going to KIA just to purposely piss people off

They're probably afraid Trumps too radical for them or as their fame increases so does their opinion change to reflect a more mainstream celebrity view and they abandon the "edgy" content that popularized them.

I think Chris Ray Gun is a lot like iDubbz and H3H3 even though I'm barely familiar with him. They get all mature and emasculated.

Also there is a thing of being liberal or libertarian and not a screeching Leftist. Like with H3H3. I'm sure they were always liberal but being pro-Democrat party doesn't mean you have to be a fan of crazy social justice and radical feminist types even if you support the same political party they do.

Also according to the internet this guy is dating Laci Green who is kinda a moderate feminist. So there's that too.

Because a lot of them are and were on the left. They just complained when tbe regressived targeted them. So of course they will attack others alongside the regressive left. And then wonder why no one on either side cares what they have to say.

Just remember that the anti SWJ alliance is an alliance of opasition, which means people who normally cant stand each other put aside their former differences because they dislike the guy their aposing more then they dislike each other. The more of a douche the fraction is the more variety in the alliance.

To be fair, Trump supporters can be pretty cringe with some of them edging him on to go full Caesar or become like Caesar and cross the Rubicon aka launch a coup. Lol

Agreed. They were liberals and as they see the woke wining, its time to abandon the gamergate and adjacent and join the rest of the left.

honestly the worst aspects of the left are the commies and the woke crowd, get rid of them and you have a normal political party you can disagree with rather then the mess that we have a problem with.

Sure, but the liberals produce the leftists and the leftists push positions that liberals don't disagree with and thus accept it which means their positions become orthodoxy. Whats also apparent is that any so called disagreement with liberals is pointless because they have hegemony and only what they allow to happen happens.

Its why the marketplace of ideas is full of shit.

Not possible.

Three core values, Liberty, Equality, and Franternity/stability.

Equality is a core value, there are and always will be people who have that as their core value. The goal isnt to get rid of them the goal is to create balance. One way it was historically done was through religion which imposed rules which kept the Equality focused people from going off the rails into crazy town ( AKA every socialist country era). On top of that you had other people telling them no and enforcing conquences for bad behavior.

Really our problems come down to the fact that we keep rewarding the left for throwing tantrums rather then punishing them for bad behavior.

The problem isn’t the goal, it’s the methods
