Lying liar lies, news at 11

That has always been their modus operandi. Every single time. They run a campaign claiming to do the opposite of what it will do. The abortion ban was about protecting women. Etc

Every goddamn time. We vote for amendments we want. And then the fucking fascist write up a political double speak bullshit amendment. To appeal to the Mass lead poisoning affected Brain Trust here. To repeal and stop the thing we just passed from Ever Getting passed again.

Jim Carey Intensifies

Wait, you mean there's a possibility they didn't?

There is power and wealth and then there is power and wealth. I think it's enough to say that there is no Globe spanning Ben and Jerry's industrial complex. Though I wish there was. The world will be much better place if we made ice cream and not war

That's absolutely valid question. And it's not as radical or as hard as some people might think. As recently as the early 20th century we were much closer. I'm not sure if you're familiar with the comedian Adam Conover. He had a video not too long ago specifically addressing this and making a number of good points. About how all the parties not just the Democratic party. But Democrats in particular we're much more local and Community focused before the latter 20th century. That the centralization and siloing of power in the National Party is What's led to a lot of the problems with the current Democratic party and others. And they're seeming lack of desire to actually listen to what people want.

As an anarchist I am absolutely all for Mutual Aid and cooperation. 1,000%. The problem comes from giving control to the National parties. National parties should serve the state and local parties. Not to be the leader of the people and the state parties.

National parties shouldn't exist. National parties will never represent local interests. Which is what these Representatives should be representing.

You, I appreciate your optimism. Though I think you may be a few hundred years off. But I'm sure we will see as America sleepwalks through this.

Raise prices by 60%, drop them by 50%. Trump, mission accomplished.

While I would hesitate to frame it as liberals. Because as an anarchist let me tell you we all have different priorities. It's a problem of ideology over achievability. Compounded by terminally online Trend chasing. Running after individual issues that are symptoms. But not the root of the problem.

No monsters but people. Horrors just do what they must to survive. It isn't anything personal like those monsters.

For sure no one else is liable to beat them at that game. Long term it isn't really sustainable for a large group of individuals. But the thing is the game has always changed and will continue to change.

The moment there's a hiccup in the SEO and ad revenue. There's a good chance the Psychopaths with the money. Who don't understand or care what's going on will come at them like they have everyone else. Either way it's good to see a lot of these groups getting back to their roots and taking the reins for themselves again. It's enough to warm and anarchist's heart

Chess?! You could beat him at marbles he ain't got none.

It might be a little more tense than you think. There are a lot of real journalism criticism Etc trying to go Indy as well. Mostly in one Niche or another.

When it comes to a lot of scamming cryptocurrency and online things. One could argue people like coffeezilla are the better source to watch than a lot of other sites.

It's only a matter of time until more people try it. Depending upon their success it could easily spell the end of sites like that. All someone has to do is prove another model viable. Imagine one of the staff from IGN splits taking along some of their contacts with them. And using that to get interviews and leveraging more contacts Etc .

It seems there may be a trend. And as you said there's a lot of people who would gladly rather frequently site not as dense and slathered in s*** advertisements.

And I'd question how long it's working for them at least long term. You're only an asset until they're looking for a scapegoat.

This and second wind? It may be too early to call Trend but one can hope.

Most maga nuts are protestant.

He's already been claiming he would for the last 15. It was too little to late back then. He either needs to get busy with it or shut up about it.

Yeah I don't think anyone would disagree with any of that. The problem was the hyperpartisan one-sided coverage. It in itself was often foreign opposition propaganda. It was so heavy and thick. Taking all the air out of every room. Just focusing on how bad Biden and Harris were. Putting the whole burden of the problem on their shoulders. So much so. That many people thought that Trump would be better because of the lack of coverage. Biden and Harris were not my candidates either. As an Anarchist I held my nose and voted for simply because of self harm prevention. But I also knew enough not to participate in amplifying the propaganda as well as pushing back against it.

Never let it be said that the left isn't manipulable or even as easily manipulable. We are our own worst enemy. Plenty still can't acknowledge their role in helping to amplify that message for the fascists gain. We do it to ourselves every time. We're naturally at a disadvantage on messaging. Simply because all mass media these days is outright fascist owned. But on top of that the left simply cannot message or Focus. Though that at least is not anything new.
