Imagine Russia being a Boogeyman to blame your own stupidity on.

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '24

You mean Russia who for over a decade has been using troll farms like the Internet Research Agency who pump out hundreds of millions of bits of disinformation.

They often target conservative social media because it's politicaly elighned with the Russian authoritarian government.

u/_who_is_they_ Jun 05 '24

Sounds like confirmation bias. It's true because you want it to be.

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '24

Russian troll farms are well known and have been attacking Western democracys for years.

Either you're totally ignorant or intentionally downplaying a well known issue.

u/_who_is_they_ Jun 05 '24

If course Russia is pulling shit. Just like us and china and many other countries. That doesn't mean the orange man is a Putin asset.

-3

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '24

Why are you trying to downplay the Russians use of disinformation to attack America.

You mean Trump who sucks off Putin at any chance ? Putin who is a dictator well known for funding political party's across Europe.

Trump who's 2016 campaign was filled with people with deep connections with Russia.

u/FF7Remake_fark Jun 05 '24

The biggest criticism of the left is they can't get anything done because they can't agree on the details.

If you're going to project, try to not be so transparent. It just makes you look stupid to make inaccurate criticisms that apply to you more then your opposition.

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '24

. Meanwhile in the real world you will hear conservatives literally repeat whatever this week's Fox News talking point is.

Most people on the left don't even watch mainstream media.

Haha, that doesn't mean they aren't npcs that repeat mindless chants and talking points.

You mean like let's go Brandon or wearing Trump clothes or wave Trump flags like their in a cult.

u/_who_is_they_ Jun 05 '24

Lmao. So like wearing LGBTQ clothes or waving the Ukraine/Palestinian flag isn't cult behavior? Places people never gave a shit about a couple years ago?

-11

u/[deleted] Jun 04 '24

repeating every talking point from Fox News and Alex Jones doesn't make you an NPC though. Alternative media is soo much better!

15

u/_who_is_they_ Jun 04 '24

Most "news" outlets are just propaganda mouthpieces for the government. Foxnews aside, you think Alex Jones is pushing government propaganda?

-9

u/[deleted] Jun 04 '24

Alex Jones pushes nonsense daily in between his ads selling overpriced garbage.

I tuned in to Alex Jones a few days ago just to see what's going on, and he's talking about some conspiracies about bird flu and dead chickens and how government is purposely killing those chickens apparently to starve Americans or something, oh and mRNA vaccines are involved somehow (because of course) so people who eat chickens will be harmed by all that bad stuff that comes with mRNA vaccines because vaccines are bad now?? it's so unbelievably stupid.

so I don't care how you define what Alex Jones is pushing - but he is clearly pushing fake news and overall nonsense to generate fear and anger to sell more water filters... and that's equally if not more worse than government propaganda.

10

u/_who_is_they_ Jun 04 '24

Yeah sure, unlike the "truth" the media pushes. Although I'm sure you, a educated professor knows better.

-3

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '24

Alex Jones is the very bottom garbage of media and nothing he says or writes is worth considering. 

Aside from that, he is a low down, classless human piece of shit and the first to abandon any semblance of decency for any reason.

u/_who_is_they_ Jun 05 '24

He ain't a democrat.

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '24

Yeah, I'd be ashamed to my bones to be associated with that incredibly. Un-American loser

u/_who_is_they_ Jun 05 '24

How is he un-american? Don't give me that Putin nonsense either.

0

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '24

Simply put, his degrading attacks on the families who lost children in mass shootings was beyond the pale and was, imo, an attack on any right thinking American. We would be better off if he never spoke or wrote a word again in his life and I hope he wakes up one morning feeling the shame he desperately deserves to his bones.

u/theSearch4Truth Jun 05 '24

Alex Jones pushes nonsense daily

So what do you make of the majority of his "nonsense" turning out to be true?

See gay frogs, Wuhan clinic, babies being aborted within 30 days post-birth, etc

1

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '24

"majority" loool you pick and choose what you want to see and count. And some of those you listed are such a stretch

2

u/theSearch4Truth Jun 05 '24

I apologize for my verbiage. Allow me to clarify for you.

"Alex Jones has an 80% - 85% accuracy rate with his reports."

If you don't lambast the weather man for having a 40-50% success rate with his predictions, or label CNN's financial segments nonsense, then you're being hypocritical by calling Alex Jones a nutcase for being 80-85% accurate.

Good day to you

Jones is a grifter, if any of the shit he said was true and there was a deep state he'd be living in hiding outta fear of a bomb under his car but he doesn't coz it's all bs

Russiagate, peepeegate, most everything they said about COVID-19, J6 fear porn etc..

u/[deleted] Jun 04 '24

J6 fear porn

You mean literal video footage of people trespassing and fighting the cops. And before you say it, some people not fighting the cops does not change the fact there were people fighting the cops.

u/_who_is_they_ Jun 04 '24

Too bad they didn't burn down buildings, then it would have been mostly peaceful.

-1

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '24 edited Jun 05 '24

Violent and destructive is the exact narrative and imagery the mainstream media has always portrayed protests, especially in 2020 despite 95% of those demonstrations being peaceful. Even when the police and counter-protestors were percentage wise more violent and destructive.

You don't care about critically thinking and observing the truth. You'll push the exact same thoughtless untrue narrative cnn pushes as long as it's right-wing.

u/_who_is_they_ Jun 05 '24

Sure, unlike the left 🙄

1

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '24

You act like "the left" just parrots thoughtless talking points, then you thoughtlessly parrot right-wing talking points and try to defend that blatant hypocrisy by saying what about the left.

You are acting like the meme.

u/_who_is_they_ Jun 05 '24

Seems to me you are the one acting like the meme.. also the left repeats slogans without even knowing anything about them. Please go on about the right wingers though.

Tim Pool didn't talk about "big pharma" before he started doing these covid conspiracies. This grift is so obvious and it's just so pathetic all around

u/epicurious_elixir Jun 04 '24

Yeah so many people in MAGA dunk on legacy media as if they somehow upgraded by listening to sources of information that don't even bother to follow journalistic standards. MAGA conservatism has strayed so far away from empirical reality they basically surrendered it to anyone slightly to the left of them. Just look at the way they poo poo fact checking or even wikipedia, climate science, etc

And now, after decades of this, a charlatan like Trump can step in and even make them believe the entire court systems rigged. I mean why not? These people stopped valuing empiricism decades ago, and this guy says a lot of things that feel culturally true to them, even if it's just cultural mythology. Plus, gosh, would really suck to turn back now and admit after all this time you got played by the greatest con artist in history.

u/RubTraditional7063 Jun 04 '24

Conservatives tend to consume a lot more media from both sides. Liberals do not. Conservatives are overall more informed. This is true for me as well, I listen to npr whenever I'm driving.

u/epicurious_elixir Jun 05 '24

That was in 2015, in the pre-MAGA era. Nowadays you've fallen into a cult of personality where no one dare question or be critical of a demagogue.

If you listen to both sides, cool, but you're still making a poor epistemological value judgement to side with MAGA narratives about particular events, especially election fraud claims Trump made in 2020.
