If Joe's not RWM then what is he? Not accusing, just curious. I'd personally consider him right wing, or at least very right of center.

THey've backed down on some of their dumber poo poo (There was an arc recently that was basically "We hosed up about global warming so we're recinding manbearpig") but their basic philosophy is still "Caring about things makes you lame".

FlamingLiberal posted:I agree that the big investment houses have stayed out of crypto (for now), but when I see celebrities pushing crypto to normal people who have no idea what it is, that gets me concerned. It's like any other endorsement contract. "Hey, something called 'BAYC' is offering you $1 mil to say something good about NFTs. I've written up some talking points right here, we can fit it between you recording commercials for Subway and Flex Tape. I dunno, something about monkey pictures."

Lemniscate Blue posted:Ben Garrison has demonstrated that particular failure to understand the "tilting at windmills" expression at least three or four times, from what I remember. He's an excellent example of how catering to a right-wing fanbase can turn your brain into swiss cheese. Ben also got loving broken mentally by 4chan making outstandingly antisemitic edits of his already dumb cartoons, IIRC.

BiggerBoat posted:Maybe a little bit and I suppose some selective editing goes on but from what I've seen most of these outlets are so overly sensitive about appearing to be biased that they bend over backwards a lot of times to not come off that way. I spent a good chunk of Trump's administration just reading his loving tweets and watching his full speeches so I didn't even need a media filter since it was all RIGHT HERE. I watched 1/6 and several BLM protests unfold in real time on live streams but none of that stopped the perpetrators from claiming it was undercover Soros funded Antifa operatives making everyone look bad. I mean, it's just straight up the DARVO script applied to even the barest hint of the concept of consequences.

Rush was the same way though, before he died (lol), like he would always say "Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz," he never referred to her by her actual name. I mean, that's just right wing in general, though. I'm over on the freep thread, and Freep still thinks "Obummer" is the height of comedy.

Panfilo posted:It's interesting to see the patterns in right wing boogeymen and how they jump around. Recently it occurred to me that a lot of the scare mongering about CRT and "indoctrinating/grooming children into various sexualitites" really kicked off after schools opened back up. Which makes sense, but it's funny how they never really reflected on the situation. Because getting the proper certifications would mean sumbitting themselves to the machine of liberalism. In their mind the best goal is just straight up homeschooling forever, like what the drunk duck comic guy thinks.

BiggerBoat posted:Man, I guess it's not shocking but over a year later now and absolutely no one has stepped up to claim Rush''s throne. What little I subject myself to on the radio is just sad, robotic and borderline satire. Like the hosts are all built in a factory or took a community college course in conservative radio. They're such amateurs and the gap in talent between what Rush brought to the table and all these TalkingPointBots_v2.0 is glaring. They all sound the same and I don't have to wait 10 seconds to hear words like "socialism", "Hillary", "Omar", "San Francisco/Chicago" or "unions" and what have you. I mean there's also a habit of eating our own so it's not like, perfect or anything.

Star Man posted:I'm gonna go out on a limb here and withiut listening to these shiws and say that what these people lack is charisma. Rush had charisma, and Trump has charisma. They can work an audience. I hate them both, but I can recognize their stage presence. I think a lot of it is also the same reason there's no good conservative comedians; Rush was an entertainer and radio man first, then slipped into the conservative gig. Everyone else is trying to do that backward.

Perestroika posted:My favourite example of this was when he was in an interview with British conservative boomer journalist Andrew Neil. Neil gave him just some really simple question along the lines of "Hey aren't US abortion laws kinda hosed?", Shapiro tried his usual divert and redirect, but Neil insisted on an actual answer. Shapiro turned into an even greater baby than usual and terminated the interview, calling Neil a liberal. What was the interview where he kept misgendering one of the other panelists and she basically grabbed him by the cheeks and told him if he does it again he's leaving in an ambulance and nobody did poo poo?

Killer robot posted:It's better. Scott Adams' corporate experience was more as the pointy-haired boss, and originally he was self-aware of it. Then that all went away with fame and success. The way I often put it is that Adams was able to install Windows 95 without burning down his house, so he thinks that permanently makes him the smartest person in any room. I didn't know about any PUA poo poo, but I know he's a big believer in NLP (Neuro-Lingustic Programming, not Natural Language Processing), hypnosis, and as has been stated before, affirmations and auras. He's the prime example of people who think they're smart and believe in science but don't.

Mr Interweb posted:so i've been seeing a lot of cons argue that the reason many other industrialized countries have such good social safety nets and overall better quality of life is because they can afford to spend their budgets on those things as opposed to their militaries because amurka does all their protecting for them. this isn't a new talking point, but i've been hearing it a whole lot more recently than in prior years. the only POSSIBLE country where this seems like it might make sense that i can think of off the top of my head is MAYBE japan, but that's about it. this sounds like a very dumb argument but i figured i'd do my due diligence and ask if there's anything to it. Even Japan has the SDF, which is an army in all but constitutionally-prevented name.

After a brief flirt with "america's the best" after 9/11, I stopped saying it and nobody said anything to me unless I didn't stand. I grew up in Massachusetts, though, so YMMV.

As much as I like Stewart, I think what we're missing here is that there is a good shrewd news-comedian who sees through bullshit, and it's John Oliver on Last Week Tonight. Stewart was funny, and is funny, but suffers from Aaron Sorkin Syndrome, where the only thing required to convince a wrong republican of the truth is a pithy speech or a good bon mot.

Cat Puke posted:I feel like this is a good example of the wrong way to cover Jones. It shows a wacky guy making up nonsense. It doesn't show that he spends most of his time using that nonsense as cover for encouraging political violence. I think there's a genuine problem in how you cover Jones. If you cover him as a crazy man saying crazy things, you're providing him the cover he needs to use those crazy things to slip dangerous conservative ideas into the public discourse. If you cover him as a legitimate political commentator, you risk making him a legitimate political comentator. If you ignore him, you risk letting his dangerous breed of rhetoric go unchecked.
