Media/Journalism Cringe Megathread - Hot off the Presses

The thing is, him existing as a candidate does a ton of harm to the establishment. A ton. Look, quite simply, the opposition is not composed of impressive people. They don't have the brains to run a candidate like Vivek, nor the capability to do so without instantly calling the plan racist and shouting down whoever proposed it.

Some parts of the opposition, certainly.

In fact the majority of the "face" and the foot soldiers.

Also, people are much too conspiratorial minded. Most seemingly coordinated systems aren't centrally coordinated, but instead individual actors working on local information. The infiltration of academia is a classic example of this. There was no central planning, just each commie academic teaching communism, pushing for the hiring of commie professors, and helping commie grad students get doctorates.

Yuri Bezmenov would probably be inclined to differ.
There is a lot between central planning and spontaneous self organization.

You should check out Academic Agent's work.
The managerial elite does not have an exactly central hierarchy, that does not mean they do not cooperate to push common interests and fuck over common enemies.

For a great example of this completely devoid of politics, look at Conway's Game of Life: simple local rules can create complex global behavior.

You look at the Machiavellians and The Revolt of the Elites, and Leviathan and Its Enemies.

The only real way to fight it is countering the behavior on the local level. Don't hire communists. Disenfranchise them and treat wokeness as a disqualifying factor.

That happens whenever I see pronouns in the bio or any leftoid shit on LinkedIn if I am part of the hiring process.

It's not just you: YouTube is slowing down your PC if you have AdBlock installed by making your CPU sweat, likely as part of its draconian war on ad blockers

YouTube Premium members also appear to be impacted.

Youtube purposely slowing computers and overclocking CPU to fuck with people who use adblockers.

Democrats are in many ways victims of their own success and they're angry about it. Over the course of my lifetime, the stalwart Reganesque Republican party has collapsed due to its own incompetence, whites are steadily being reduced to a mere plurality after 250 years of being an absolute majority, Christianity is fading from cultural dominance, and the past two to three decades have seen some of the fastest cultural transformations in history, most of them to the left. But all this means is that the Republican party started to change its tactics and makeup, Christians started voting like a minority block, and if they're not careful whites may follow. Reid is buttmad that her opponents have the audacity to act like thinking human beings and adapt to the changing times. It must be because they're evil!

I'm also just peeved at the anti-Christian bigotry because they have no problem with the likes of Warnock using his pulpit to screech communist screeds with the barest hint of theology sprinkled over it, but heaven forbid that a regular pastor bemoan the evil of abortion in any format.

the left hasn't even begun to feel the conquences for their actions or experience any serious blow back. There will come a day when they weep for the days of trump.

They will weep for the days of Reagan.

The left still has PTSD from Reagan. It's why they never take swings at him, and instead go for either Nixon or Trump, because they beat both. They don't even want to think about The Leader of The Free World and the tanning he gave them.

We will make them weep for Regan if I have my way. And Lord willing, it will come to being.

Oh? And how exactly will you accomplish that? The Republican Party has lost every popular vote since the 80s except for one, and the newer generation is more radically leftist than ever (and that's saying something!).

Wishful thinking doesn't win wars, and neither does bravado.

The ones that survive their own purges, maybe; but I expect many will have to face the wrath of their fellow cult members long before their victims can get ahold of them, and they'll be too confused to comprehend it as being anything other than a mistake on someone else's part before they're executed. That's how it worked in the Soviet Union, after all.

Ain’t that a fucking irony?

That lot always manage to destroy themselves long before their victims could get their hands on them.

They take plenty of sweeps at Reagan all the time. Hell, I have seen fanfictions that say "Fuck Reagan" for no other reason than just to say it.

While Bill Maher may criticize the woke left, he's apparently still a big Gavin Newsome fan. In this he insists that the governor is a "winner" because he can win elections, but when pressed on what the governor has actually accomplished, Maher has nothing to say.

I can come up with at least one thing Gavin did. When the Glorious leader Xi visited he made sure to clean up the area he was visiting. he pulled out all the stops just for his good friend and set things up so there would be no rabble around to disrupt the visit. Bill saying he loves his pair of balls though is definitely a response. certainly tells what he has on his mind.

Well, the coastal elite of communist Potemkinfornia plays to its strengths: façade and falsehood.
