All the media is right wing propaganda. That's how hosed we are. e: SNIPE

How do we reach these people with factual reporting? "Something something Antifa riots, something something Uranium One, sounds very scandalous, I can't believe it's not being taken more seriously." Now it's being deployed again for this latest scandal. "Something something Biden Ukraine, someone should really look into that!" I want new terms to correspond to "factoid," like "happenoid" (for bullshit isolated incidents inflated into national news stories) and "scandaloid" (for bullshit controversies over things that are completely routine).

Ive noticed that most MSM cherry picks what stories they report in an effort to craft a narrative the benefits the elites. we are hosed. might as well just put a brown paper bag over our heads and hide under the table.

Telegraph posted:In fact, the first two decades of the 20th century saw an ongoing campaign for earlier Christmas shopping. American professor Paul Collins has shown how socialist activists – including Florence Kelley, co-founder of the NAACP – fought to free overworked and often under-aged shop workers from the terror of the Christmas rush, which they portrayed as a humanitarian disaster. “Thousands of workers in every city have been taught by bitter experience to look forward to Christmas with dread,” said the Consumer League of New York. “A very little unselfishness on your part will greatly lighten [their] burden.” Sensing opportunity, savvy merchants climbed on board, and by 1918 the movement had been co-opted to such an extent that Santa Claus was telling the public to shop early for the sake of the war effort.

Angry_Ed posted:One thing I've noticed recently with a lot of conservative twitter accounts is that not only are they getting dragged in these comments but there are people going "look I'm conservative but what you just said is stupid" (also happening a lot to Ben Shapiro). It's either A: listen to Dinesh B: be a beta cuck who reads "MSNBC" or "CNN" you don't want to be a beta cuck do you? It's like boycotting the only ice cream store in town but, instead of delicious iced creme, it's ice cold takes on which children need to die to keep the right amount of money flowing to the right people.

And if you notice the problem is never what they're saying, it's that they are saying it in public so bluntly. It's never "please don't call for violence against children" it's "please don't get caught calling for violence" Like that Freeper who wanted to gas all immigrant children and people were begging him not to say that because they'd miss him in heaven

lovely people on Twitter love retweeting The Babylon Bee, which is The Onion from a conservative Christian perspective. What the hell does this even mean? https://twitter.com/TheBabylonBee/status/1176206019153653760?s=19 Har. https://twitter.com/TheBabylonBee/status/1175499941101363200?s=19 Never heard this opinion before. https://twitter.com/TheBabylonBee/status/1173638928223604736?s=19 The interesting thing is, they sometimes have good opinions. They don't like megachurches and televangelists. https://twitter.com/TheBabylonBee/status/1175055954586394625?s=19 https://twitter.com/TheBabylonBee/status/1175484841099317249?s=19 Mostly they like their churchgoing dad jokes. https://twitter.com/TheBabylonBee/status/1173735759137763328?s=19 https://twitter.com/TheBabylonBee/status/1173325616063684608?s=19 Ok, that last one was kind of cute.

How do we allow people like this to just go about their day? Someone like this deserves no peace or peace of mind. Michael Knowles should never be allowed out in public without having something thrown at him.

Greta has backers (I mean obviously, she sailed across the Atlantic or whatever), so that’s used to discount her message. Also it’s amazing how that picture of the criminals managed to almost completely cover up the skin of the white person

I used to laugh at the Bee here and there as an ex-Catholic when an old professor deep in the Calvinist scene would share it. They recently had a fight with Snopes after they had checked out a Bee story, ol Prof sided with the Bee and things got real sad real fast.
