So you don't have a problem with "misinformation/disinformation" or blatant state sponsored propaganda coming from mainstream media outlets? This is yet another reason why you come off as a shill. Because you are so one sided. Look up the Smith Mundt Act and then tell us all about the horrors of "Mis and Disinformation."

PragerU is ... fully right-wing.

Socks is so far to the left that he sees anyone who isn't a foaming-at-the-mouth rabid communist as right wing. It's bizarre. They tried to characterize Trump as right wing too... How do you even talk to someone so deluded.

He pretends to be left. He's authoritarian.

He pretends to be left. He's authoritarian a whore-a-tarian.

Wrong, Jason, as usual.

Denying it doesn't help your case. Your verbose shilling speak volumes of confirmation.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

FFS, Jason, WTF is your problem?

[–]JasonCarswell 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

Seriously? How many times do I have to say: You are shilling for the enemy: the exploitative establishment and their vaccine poisons.

Look at my posts today. Learn something.

I've seen Trump legitimately characterized in a number of ways on both Fox news and CNN. He is a sock puppet, a moldable poop, like a poop-play-doh human. Obama felt similar, he was like a Muslim/Christian/Jew, all depending on the day and the pulpit.

[–]wristaction 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

The actual point of fact being that he was as disinterested in religion as anyone else. That was the real substance underlying the scandal with Rev. Wright. Obama only attended services there because he was, at the time, running against an actual Black Panther who he recognized he was too white-presenting to compete with. I totally believe that he didn't recognize the quotes from the sermons. He was only putting in his time there and he'd heard worse from his white and jewish colleagues in academia.

Socks is so far to the left that he sees anyone who isn't a foaming-at-the-mouth as right wing.

I doubt socks has any political affiliation, or moral compass.

For money; socks will get on his knees and smile like a doughnut.

He doesn't actually see it that way. He's just saying it's that way. A century ago, he'd be one of those who portrayed Trotsky as a deviationist crypto-fascist.

The Trump crime family worked for the the "right-wing" (as well as others in the 1%, and Russian businessmen). It's been bloody obvious, to everyone. Where do you get your news, Node?

[–]Node 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (7 children)

I'm admittedly not a big believer in the official political definitions. You really see the "13 families who own the world" as right wing?

Or choose your own beliefs about who is actually calling the shots on this planet. What specifically about them would you say makes them 'right wing'?

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

I am referring to trends in Republican policy that have benefitted the 1% at the expense of the 99%. It's not complicated, and there are numerous examples. The 13 people you mention aren't specifically at issue, though some of them may be. Income inequality is a major part of the problem. I see what's happening the same way you do. That's why I've asked: where do you get your news? It's a serious question. So many users on Saidit believe propaganda websites without questioning the sources of information or the purposes of the websites, or how they are funded. The news media bias that worries me is at the far right of the bias scale, and they have had the biggest impact on the polarization of the discourse so that voters will see authoritarian Republicans as their ideal candidates, by contrast with Democrat candidates who actively try to help the 99%. I appreciate that Republicans will claim that their approaches are best for the 99%, but look at how that's worked since 1984. Put simply: Republicans have screwed the 99% far more than the Democrats, for numerous reasons. Republicans have promised trickle-down economics, for example, which never worked. In fact, quite the opposite. Voting Republican is voting for socialism for the rich. There are many on Saidit who seem not to understand this, and sometimes I think it's because they're duped by disinformation and misinformation websites. Long ago I did support Republican policies (1980-84), but not thereafter. I am also highly critical of 'neo-liberalism' under Clinton and Obama, which has been problematic for much of the 99%. But I still don't understand some aspects of Saidit and why so many here support Republicans and the propaganda that supports them. Hence: where do you get your news, Node?

just out of surgery. will have to reply later.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

I hope you'll feel better soon

(if I should assume you're not the surgeon)

[–]Node 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

I was for the initial 'procedure', a real professional just attempted to clean up my mess.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Ouch. Hope you got neat-looking stitches.

[–]Node 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Mediocre a couple weeks ago, but now they just peeled the whole area open to add 15 mm of zombie (cadaver) nerve to reconnect mine. Don't try this at home.

Think Bob, did I say that I had a:

problem with "misinformation/disinformation" ...coming from mainstream media outlets

This is yet another reason why you come off as a shill.

Read the post, Bob.

Because you are so one sided.

Do you understand nothing about what I wrote? My concern is with misinformation and disinformation, obviously. And my concern is with right-wing misinformation and disinformation. This is not unusual. You don't have to be a shill to say such things. If you don't agree, note what you don't agree with. Your attempt to understand me isn't important here. Address the issues in the thread.

Look up the Smith Mundt Act and then tell us all about the horrors of "Mis and Disinformation."

If you have something to say about the Act, or about anything of substance, say it. If you're only interested in judging people, go fuck yourself.

[–]RightousBob 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (6 children)

Whoa looks like I hit a nerve! The way you replied is making me think you might be a gpt3 bot of some sort. You sure don't express yourself like a human.

"Your attempt to understand me isn't important here."

Why is that sux? Why won't you help me understand you? Is it because there is no 'you?'

[–]JasonCarswell 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

Ironic as he doesn't try to understand others. He has his agendas to push.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

Still with the name calling, you pathetic insect. Grow a pair.

[–]SubliminalCriminal 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

grow a pair of pants.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Not sure that's possible. 'Sew' a pair of pants?

socks is the joke, that writes itself.

Tom - I don't know you, but I suspect your only chance of getting laid is to crawl up a chicken's butt and wait.

[–]Tom_Bombadil 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (6 children)

Think <victim of shill harassment>

I like it when I see this opening rebuttal, because it means someone has socks on the ropes, and socks is using his note cards.

Game over. This amateur crap doesn't work here.

socks got his ass handed to him, again.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

What is this? An argument? Well, it's a start. What you describe is a boxing match and additional name calling. Seems you still have "no skin in the game' so to speak. You can do better, Tom, I hope.

[–]Tom_Bombadil 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (4 children)

Think Bob

What is this? An argument?

Nope.

It's a low-budget opener from an unoriginal shill.

Seems that 3 anti-vaxxers are currently smitten. I try to inspire them to think of counter-arguments; not that this is working....
