I'm happy my mother wanted to get the vaccine and was able to get it before Fox went all Just Asking Questions bordering on anti-vax. I've already met people at work who are afraid of getting it because of the same worries these jackasses are shouting. Not to be all bluecheckmark but they're really causing genuine damage and it's so distressing that the people who are deep enough in the echo chamber and won't get the vaccine now probably won't listen to actual reason.

DarkCrawler posted:How is vaccination "personal" Jesus loving Christ Because he's been and still trying to feed the bullshit that vaccines are some secret nanochip thing or some such bullshit. So the questions about him getting it are "really personal" because he doesn't want his watchers to know he got it. It's just typical Fox News bullshit where simple questions that will result in burning answers are "private" and every Republican that screws up gets a "D" next to their name

Last night, I ate out with my wife and a group at another table were talking about how they microchip you and if you scan an unvaxxed arm, the scanner shows nothing but if you scan a vaxxed arm, it picks up information. All people in their late 20s or early 30s.

Yeah, as much as I'm awaiting the Boomer dieoff in the next 10-20 years for several reasons, I'm not super hopeful that the next loudest voices in the Republican party after Trump won't be worse. Sure, Tucker is Infowars-adjacent most of the time and has a sizeable portion of America's brains pulled, but the next generation that's coming up has been watching Nick Fuentes, Crowder, and the many modern right-wing philosophers that make bank by filming themselves ranting in their car. There's already a huge push by RWM (mostly Q) influencers to get their followers into local politics, so hopefully they'll crash and burn before they can make any meaningful impact and don't accidentally their way into higher gov't positions like Boebert and MTG. Only time will tell, I guess.

Every group has a minority of radicalized right-wing assholes, even in the specific minority communities the bulk of the right hates most, there's just fewer of them. At this point it's fair to say that if chickens could vote, Colonel Sanders would pull a solid 10%. Young conservatives might be even more radicalized and fascistic than old conservatives, but there are way fewer of them. On top of it, the same radicalization and insular right-wing meme culture leaves them less able to appear reasonable to people outside of their own circles. Really it's weirdly unprecedented how much political polarization there is now by age and sex. Race, class, and region are the historic norms, but age and sex are weird new developments and who knows where that goes.

Why do you need a billionaire to fund the astroturfing? You have 4chan and Youtube as perfect radicalization pathways. And Hollywood making increasingly terrible and performatively woke films and then blaming their failures on audiences being not sufficiently woke isn't going to help this. It makes radicalization all the easier since Hollywood is providing the script and it's a script the chuds are happy to capitalize on. Some kid wants to read up on why the new Star Wars movies were so terrible and instead of finding something that actually addresses the structural and narrative flaws with the films, finds a 12 hour diatribe on how the issue is that a nefarious Jew had the temerity to cast both a black man and a woman as leads in the films. Like the mechanisms are already in place. Do you like movies and/or video games? If you do, and if you try to consume any sort of information about these interests online, then you are going to have to go out of your way, sometimes quite hard, to find information about them that isn't Conservative at best and outright fascist at worst. Like I don't know a better way to articulate it, but you don't need a billionaire to astroturf poo poo anymore because the pathways to radicalization are all self-perpetuating at this point. Until someone does something about places like 4chan and Youtube, as long as people have an interest in, you know, *media* they are going to be being actively courted by Nazis who want to radicalize them.

You don't need billionaires to astroturf poo poo because ~the algorithm~ on places like Youtube and Facebook are doing a stellar job of ensuring people will eventually get exposed to right wing propaganda without a human being needing to actively participate. e: To add more content than just repeating what that guy two posts above me said, it does seem like tech billionaires don't even really need to donate to right wing politicians and groups because they can essentially just give them free advertising. I mentioned a while back how I was watching a video on Youtube about Mario Maker or something and Youtube gave me a 52 minute "ad" that was just some right wing rear end in a top hat's online show. Throwing up this kind of content as an ad between/during videos is a lot more efficient than having a billionaire pay a bunch of talk show hosts/websites/TV studios to say "Run this guy's content."

 Yet another example of Fox News posting an article that's just quoting some right wing yahoo's statement or opinion about something that shows up in a news aggregator. Things a head of state or a governor or Senator says are usually newsworthy, and occasionally the utterance of some low level twit is so outrageous as to merit news coverage, but Fox does this poo poo routinely, making an article out of some yahoo's opinion.

Fox used to have the early morning crew say something that they wanted to repeat the rest of the day as an alert or headline. Fox & Friends would have Doocy or the other muppets say something 'You know I wouldn't be surprised if Obama kills kids for Allah and Satan on the oval office table!' Then the next show would be 'People are saying that Obama kills kids for Satan and Allah, more after the break!' And repeat for the news cycle. Now the grift cycle does it for free for them.

Well you see that just shows that it is a hoax. Otherwise blue states would get it too. It’s not protective measures like masks, sequestering or vaccinations because none of those things work and are also the hoax. The only thing left is that the government is deliberately infecting red staters with COVID-19. Probably through the fake snow from earlier in the spring.

I remember Kushner convinced Trump that Covid would gently caress blue states harder than red states and it ended up ripping through under-served rural communities. Watching his people performatively flout Covid prevention in order to enjoy triggering the libs only for it to Thanos snap 600000+ Americans was actually sort of awe inspiring.
