More proof for the pile that there's something inherent within the conservative mindset that makes it impossible for them to be intentionally funny or at all clever. It's just a collection of them attempting to poke fun at issues they just don't seem to really understand or that are only important to you if you've been force fed a bunch of straw man false narratives about what liberals say or think.

Most of the time I see a hardcore conservative trying to be funny it's some sort of purely vindictive thing at somebody else's expense (typically of "owning the libs" variety) so there's that. The entire ideology just comes across as vindictive and petty as all gently caress anyway these days though so there's also that. The emotion they seem to have the most capacity for these days is anger/outrage and the switch is always flipped on full blast so there's that. I saw "these days" because while I've never agreed with the ideology at any point in my life I never considered myself threatened and like they'd love to see me wiped off the face of the planet for not joining the conservative ideology like I'm starting to these days.

A good example is one guy I worked with for years (not anymore) who seemed like a hard working honest guy has a facebook page that is pretty much nonstop angry political stuff about the CPC in Canada and memes (that I guess are supposed to be funny to conservatives, but just look militant and violent to me) about how much he just absolutely hates Justin Trudeau, LGBTQ people or literally anything that's associated with lefter leaning tolerant views and that's basically his entire profile. It's completely changed my perspective on him yet seems a pretty common thing among conservatives where it's just this constant vindictive fight against "the other". They're just dedicated to the ideology nowadays and hating liberals, it's kind of creepy in a way and we don't even really have Fox News up here fanning the flames constantly. The closest equivalent is Sun Media which is basically just a tabloid.

I guess what I'm wondering these days is don't these guys ever get tired of being angry all the loving time. It seems like a miserable existence, like the rich conservatives probably do, but other than that they just seem loving miserable.

I think it's less this than that everything is politics for right wingers. If your comedy has as its primary mission to support right wing ideology or poo poo on the lefties rather than, you know, being funny, then it will usually be poo poo.

I think this is also true for other politics, it's just that there are more comedians who are liberal who happen to be funny. If you try to generate comedy with the primary goal of it having a left slant it probably won't be too funny.

Is it me or is the American Far Right in the middle of a drive to co-opt the term misinformation and turn it into another "free speech" type thing. Seem to be seeing the usual suspects try to work that into their grievance mongering more and more that it's the Biden Administration or Fauci or any organization with a progressive angle doing the misinformation in order to continue the far rights trolling and culture war antics into the next phase. Probably something to do with the agenda of the current U.S House I imagine and getting everything in lock step and preparing it's narrative for at least the next couple years.

They have Fox absolutely dead to rights. There's no reason to settle.

Yeah this case has been pretty good case to follow because it disarms the far right from being able to bluster, bullshit and flagrantly lie in pursuit of a narrative or ideology because your'e not presenting it to a Twitter or a Fox News audience that just only accepts or listens to what it wants to hear even if it's total made up horseshit, you're presenting it to a court of law where an organization like Fox News usual tactics do not apply. He who shitposts the loudest and concocts the narrative spin that chuds are willing to accept isn't automatically the winner, but they who present the facts proving their case to a Judge and Jury as per the rules of a court. Hopefully if Dominion pulls this off in the wake of the Alex Jones ruling it can start a chain of accountability down the cause their sure as poo poo and much of it these days and Republicans and Right Wing pundits especially have just been able to lie and deceive for far too long to suit their own interests.

Granted they don't deserve entirely the blame, a good chunk of Western civilization has completely loving lost it's mind and just become unwilling to accept reality versus narrative that it's been cheated of some sort of thing that it's owed by the political enemies of the people trying to court them and willingly allowing itself to be lied to in order to avoid confronting harsh political and social realities that the world is changing around them and that instead of trying to in any way adapt to it has decided to have a total meltdown to the point where some of it's advocates in Congress like Marjorie Taylor Green are now calling for secession again. Accountability needs to start somewhere though and people that exploit this culture war insanity to the further detriment of society and personal/financial harm to entities seems like at least some place to start.

I don't think the credibility of their business is at stake though at least where it counts. Their audience loves being force fed a narrative and Fox News basically admits it felt forced into lying and fulfilling a narrative to save it's business. They deserve to and hopefully will get punished financially and be on public record as lying and deceiving people with their coverage to the harm of entities like Dominion's reputation, but their audience is 100% okay with this and will just see it as liberal bias of the jury or some sort of unfair conspiracy and judgement that was placed on Fox News for "telling the truth about how Joe Biden stole the election". Again these people DO NOT accept anything other than their narrative and don't care about being informed of the harsh truth that Trump just flat out lost the election to Joe Biden because enough people in states like Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania got tired of his bullshit and flipped the needle back to the blue of the Obama years and that there's just nothing more too it than that really.

What it does assuming the case does follow through to being decided for Dominion in huge figures is make them think twice about just trying to flagrantly and openly lie again just to save face with their batshit crazy audience so they don't defect to NewsMax or another organization that will quintuple down on the lies and stolen election narratives.

The most recent notable example of this I've seen was a video by right wing entertainment culture war YouTuber and failed Tom Clancy wannabe author The Critical Drinker where he posits that the reason why he thinks modern movies are all universally to a one terrible is because male protagonists are too emotional these days. He conveys this to his viewers in a fit of seething anger.

The irony.






The i r o n y

If theres any reason movies are largely unengaging now its because the lot of them are boring special effects showcases with the same boring indistinguishable temp music soundtracks by one mega company that has far to much singular say over what we get for entertainment nowadays. Has little to do with politics so much as too much media control in too few executive producers hands IMO.

And yeah modern day right wingers seem to have few emotions other than blithering anger at everyone else around them. The only thing that keeps them from tearing into each other even more than they do is the circlejerk theyve had going on for much of the 21st century and occasional redirection by their media to the desired targets

Cause its publicly giving in and taking a hard L to the "looney left" in crazy right wing narrative land which is on balance at least equal too or worse than possibly losing in court, taking it up the rear end financially and then being able to spin it as liberal biased judges and juries putting undue hardship on them for the next several years.

I liked him more at first, but he seems to have ruined his reputation in recent times. I'd love to see all the firebrand incendiary nightly culture warriors take a hike from the pundit scene and news cycle cause it's gotten incredibly loving tiresome but considering this has been America's absolute favorite thing for the past decade or so I can't say I see it happening.

The Tucker exit obviously hurts Fox News and the American right far more than Don Lemon's exit hurts well...any political cause really. Chuds and even Republican politicians received their marching orders and grievance narratives from Tucker every few nights if not every night, and he literally set the tone for an entire political movement in the post Trump presidency era, whereas Don Lemon mainly poo poo on Trump during his tenure which while justifiable in large part wasn't particularly productive journalism and kind of airing of grievances stuff as well. Nobody who watches CNN really relied on the guy to feed them their opinions and tell them how to react and what to think about something that they otherwise wouldn't have come to the same conclusions about in the long run that I'm aware of though.

I didn't realize Tucker had gotten so large and influential. That's insane.

As for Lemon, you are right that he didn't lead anyone anywhere but that's kind of my point. He - in a way - lead people to... nowhere. His commentary has been such a constant soap opera of Trump disaster porn but that isn't news? It's just really garbage-y tabloid journalism to the point where it's nearly distracting people from actual issue at hand.

The full on chudification of the Republican party has led to some pretty interesting outcomes for those that read the tea leaves best and successfully made the pivot to non-stop white male grievance and a gradually narrowing down of "the issues" to things like how to react to the LGBT community, frothing hatred for the Democratic Party and anything deemed "woke" aka stuff that conservatives don't like which may no longer include enriching large corporations and cutting tax rates for the highest brackets so much as owning the libs at all costs including sound political strategy. They really don't have much left to rally around other than being opposed to anything the Democratic comes out as for and I guess like guns, not wearing masks, not getting vaccines and being upset if black people and/or women appear in pop culture stuff and Tucker got pretty good at working the outrage cycle sometime towards the tail end of the Trump years.

It's just plain contrarian for people to act like Tucker getting sacked is anything but a win.

Will his time slot be filled right away? Yes.

Will it be filled by someone expressing views as vile as Tucker has, or worse? Possibly.

Will that person have the reach and popularity that Tucker did? Almost certainly not right away. And there's no guarantee that they will. Even in the best case scenario it takes time to build that following.

Rush Limbaugh has had a zillion people try to achieve the reach and popularity that he did in the right wing radio universe he created, and years later no one's been close.

Tucker himself can certainly find any number of homes in the right wing mediaverse (hell his getting fired by Fox gives him automatic street cred with the alt righties), but none are likely to have the reach and influence the he had on Fox.

Depending on which version of why he got sacked is believed, a message being sent that even in right wing media, at least the most popular and biggest parts of it, there are limits to the poo poo you can say, do and get away with if you want to keep your job is a good thing IMO.

It is pretty ridiculous that some people always have to do this "nothing matters" poo poo, but unlike 5-6 years ago it doesn't seem like I'm expected by unspoken D&D thread creed to consider it at length. Obviously the network will survive and move on and feat new right wing grievance mongers that know how to sell a narrative to chuds, but that doesn't mean it's been anything but a pretty drat terrible month for the network and that's kind of worth discussing in the RWM thread.

Just got a mishmash of mask mandates coming back to Canada because I guess some doctor is transgender or something and I apparently really needed to know this and this was all super important totally happening stuff in a socio-political climate that would never allow for it at this stage because it's too divisive an issue. We didn't have any mask mandates in Canada last year and we certainly aren't having them while the Liberal government is already underwater and it's just an easy issue for any prospective challenger government to pounce on be it a Republican or Conservative or whatever.

The reason I'm posting this in the RWM thread is I'm still so tired of this poo poo from these people all the time now and it just clearly never ends cause it's a loving business. They are more paranoid about this mask poo poo and Covid conspiracies then they ever were when it was still at pandemic status and are convinced another lockdown is always imminently around the corner and it's hampering them and everyone arounds them's ability to just live their lives peacefully (though they preach about Libertarian poo poo and resisting control all the time obviously they never seem to respect other people's wish to not have to talk about this stuff all the time and listen to conspiracy rants) and it's obviously cause they get all their news from these bullshit RWM sources, automatically believe all of it and refuse to believe anything that comes from any mainstream media source or non-conservative politician ever and refuse to not believe things are happening that clearly aren't happening just because some RWM source is on about it again for political reasons.

Having witnessed this sort of person and worked with several of them first hand now I feel there's definitely equal fault in all this going down the rabbit hole poo poo on the person to be able to not fall for obvious grift and distinguishing between conspiracy poo poo and reality or when they are starting to actually go down the rabbit hole completely and just lose touch with reality and self-evident logic. Like this guy insisted he started watching this poo poo for fun and now believes in it and I kind of somewhat believe at least that much cause he has a normal side to him well, though I see less and less of it lately. He wasn't quite this crazy about it all when he first moved into the place, but I'm getting the sense the usual suspects are really cranking the conspiracy poo poo up to 11 for an election year in the U.S next year and the possibility of an Election in Canada within the same timeframe. Regardless I'd just as soon put easy money on there not being any sort of mask mandate in Ontario, Canada this winter season and say I'll vote conservative and start listening to Joe Rogan, Alex Jones and Jordan Peterson as my only source of media if it did, I'm that confident it's all grift conspiracy bullshit for algorithm riding and political reasons.

It's very clearly come to Canada now and the Covid pandemic spiked the poo poo out of it happening. I never really recall it being a part of my daily life that I'd have to listen to people going on incoherently about crazy conspiracy poo poo some podcast convinced them of before the whole Freedom Convoy thing.

I have to admit, this guy definitely loving gets far right Chud mentalities more than most political strategists and how best to work messaging around firing them up what remains of the GOP base. Big part of the reason we have non-stop cycling culture war bullshit about oppressing the LGBT+ community in North American politics these days and it's such a relentless talking point with conservatives now. Seemingly to where it's the number one policy issue and more important to them than things like tight budgets, small government, low taxes, big business policy focus, national security and all that poo poo they've been on about since at least the Reagan years. It seems about the only feasible winning strategy for elections that the GOP and CCP here in Canada have left is to stoke culture war bullshit relentless and keep their voters angry about it and it's unfortunately probably the most effective strategy and reason why these far right parties keep getting better and better results around the world every election cycle and some of them are even strong enough to form governments now.

Some truly incredible takes today from the Right Wing red pilled listens to every RWM shithead conspiracy theorist guy in my building that don't even hold up under the most basic of political litmus tests. One being that Jim Jordan should be Speaker of the House even though he lacks majority popular support and a mandate even among House Republicans compared to more establishment shitheel Scalise who I figure they'd support in a head to head given no other choice. Also the fact that Jordan wants unelected private citizen Donald Trump to be Speaker and the only reason Jordan wants to be speaker is if Trump can't so he take marching orders from a single private citizen. Real for the people guy there. The other take is that Maxim Bernier should be the next PM of Canada even though his party can't win a single seat including his own riding of Beauce in the last two elections. When your own loving riding doesn't want you that does not make you a man of the people and you will never be PM sorry.

So basically just whoever is the biggest most self-serving right wing shithead with no real popular support should be given the most power basically. I really don't know how some of these people got to think this way. I've got two of these idiots at work two that just have the absolute craziest beliefs on how the world apparently is and how it should be and just guzzle down Ben Shapiro, Joe Rogan, Elon Musk, Jordan Peterson and the like as their only source on news and views. When I mention and remind them that getting all your news from one source that appears to be imminently self-serving and just following a rigid political agenda is just as bad as only getting all your news from corporate sponsored mainstream media they don't really seem to have a good counterpoint to that and tend to either drop the subject fast enough though, which is fine enough for me.

This guy also thinks Giorgia Meloni is a super for the people politician.

I think the main difference is she's a fascist not utterly consumed by personal grievance just yet and trying not to end up like Trump who completely burned his support with swing/independent voters in only one term and thus lost the support he needed in pivotal states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin the second time around to become only the second U.S President in my lifetime not to win a second mandate. She's probably scarier in the long run to me now since it points to competent fascism rather than the self-cannibalizing Republican kind in the states.
