I know they get stuffed with machine generated nonsense under the fold but it seems like a lot of them would be like three pages long and obviously fake newspapers.

Like with most propaganda and advertising, the real objective is to get their idea into a person's head whether they engage with it further or not. The headlines shown in that article are all things that are immediately incendiary all to the purpose of declaring, "Dems, especially this Dem, are all monsters." Get someone reflexively mad and to carry the mad with them.

Elephant Ambush posted:Depends. How much money you have makes a big difference Pretty much this. While there is some overlap (the affluent white liberal lady who still rolls her car windows up and locks the door when she drives through "certain" parts of town), Republicans primarily hate you for things that are innately a part of you - Your race or gender or sexual orientation - Liberals are more keen to hate you for your class factors - The common refrain of "Heh, look at the poor moron who lives in the trailer park, what an inbred piece of garbage."

Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be very liberal, and among other liberal ideals, was very much in favor of higher taxes to support more government programs, in other words redistribution of wealth.

Don't forget looking them in the eye to show what a go-getter you are. And if that doesn't work, you could just shop your health problems around and find the best coverage, because what cancer patient doesn't enjoy having to go through the process of finding someone who will cover them, right?

I genuinely have to wonder how that person thinks health insurance works though, like where do they think the money the insurance company uses to pay for things comes from?

Or it's some movie or TV show that swapped genders or race with a Marvel character and may or may not have portrayed cops or America in a bad light. In which case, everything is SO WOKE and SHOVED DOWN OUR THROATS.

The big problem with the GPA/money comparison is that, for the most part, there's a fairly even playing field for grades. You can get advantages by hiring tutors or by cheating, but you're still capped at 4.0. But if we got rid of the libraries and let students buy exclusive access to journals by spending GPA points, and then selling that access back to other students at a profit, we'd start to see a new phenomenon. Audrey has a GPA of 59.2, even though she just parties all the time, because her father also went to the school and she inherited his GPA and one of the dorm rooms (that you can live at in exchange for a portion of your GPA). Meanwhile our protagonist is proud of a GPA of 2.4, which she's earned by doing her own work, along with the work of several other students who were too busy partying.

I guess that's another part of it, even if this person did give 1 point of her GPA away to her friend, she'd still keep everything she learned, every professional connection, every friendship, etc. I think I missed the assumed premise that GPA is the product you're buying access to by paying tuition.

The woman gives away a point of her GPA and is not functionally harmed by it, while greatly increasing the lives of those around her, in a beautiful metaphor for weath distribution. A boomer feel good story. I mean poo poo I was that kid sitting in his department head's office having him explain "well the rules are that all the classes have to average out to 2.0, not they all have to be 2.0, so you still graduate" and guess what I'm peers with people who did a lot better than that from much better universities every day because university is bullshit.

It's more trying to convert the strawman liberal through some gotcha: "  " People should share [thing I don't mind sharing] so nobody is going without! " " Yes but what if it was in fact [thing I cherish and deserve] and people are stealing from you without putting in the effort themselves? " "Well I don't want people to steal [thing I cherish and deserve], that's not fair I worked hard for it and everyone else can too! "Checkmate, liberal!"

A more accurate story would be a rich dad talking to his newly radicalized 26 year old daughter and then going "Okay, well what if we take $4 a month out of your $10,000 allowance and give it to a charity that helps the homeless?" And her reacting ewww, no! And then both of them agreeing yeah, gently caress those people.
