The most offensive fake accent is the one Gal Gadot does in Wonder Woman.

the best ww take was from one of the chapos that because gal gadot is incapable of doing an accent every good actress playing an amazonian has to do an israeli one

My (BlueMAGA extremely lib brained) mom called me a couple months ago to tell me I had to watch this Netflix documentary called the social dilemma. I did for whatever reason and the whole time I was just very amused that this major media company was lecturing me about how nobody trusts established media sources anymore. Also lots of interesting stuff about algorithms I guess but the part about shared truth was what stood out to me.

Anyway, I realized there is growing frustration that people don’t get their news from curated sources anymore. The NYT and CNN and etc have all blown their credibility by lying and misleading and parroting the official government line and on and on. I don’t need to catalog here.

And then I started thinking. What if they could basically white list the internet. Lock it down so it’s difficult to reach websites that aren’t preapproved? These are all private media companies so the whole “it’s not censorship because it’s not the government” will probably convince plenty of people in the same way that Amazon normalized security cameras everywhere when people would have flipped if it’d been local pds putting surveillance on their front door.

I don’t know. In a few years you have a path to what I’ve been told the Chinese internet is like (I’ve never actually been there so I don’t know what it’s actually like but y’all get my point). Podcasts certainly are a big part of this. Get google/apple to limit offerings to stuff that’s been curated by iHeart for liability reasons...

I had a long conversation last night with a friend who grew up conservative but is now sort of rethinking things in the wake of *waves hand at 2020 in general*, and one thing that came up was the history he read as a kid was all old school British-imperialist jingoism. I was thinking Radio War Nerd might be a good gateway drug for doing cool history stories from a "gently caress the British Empire" perspective; anyone have opinions on specific episodes to get started with?

What thread is this and what is his user name? I’ve been trying to figure him out too because yeah he’s gotten pretty (relatively speaking) big and people seem to hang off his words in a way that raises eyebrows

That's a great question but may get quicker answers in the War Nerd thread

One of the most recent episodes was the Irish War of Independence. I think there is also an old episode about the book, Late Victorian Holocausts, that might be good.

The writing has been on the wall here in recent times that this is where it's going with bigwig think-tank Dems, including sleepy joe, and upper echelon woke tut libs making waves. republicans were also mad about 230 under the pretense they had "unjust conservative censorship" but democrats are wokeishly mad about all this unpatriotic hate speech. there's a pretty good alliance there

the only reason there was recent tepid opposition to 230-changes was because orange wet daddy was hammering on and that's bad media optic to go oh yes he's right. now he's out of the picture soon a lot of that opposition melts away like a kratom goon baking in a car.

i suspect what we'll see is probably some form of Trusted Internet Platform Act of 2021/2 where it's some form of a 230-repeal with a whitelist for corps that can be Trusted like nyt, marky-z and j-dorsey (assuming they've given a big enough campaign donation).

Every week we read an article from The Guardian or Der Spiegel about some new European political goings on, and discuss it from a position of almost pure ignorance. A good chunk of every episode is taken up by a discussion as to whether or not Germany is still "the bad guys". No conclusion is reached.
