How is this Orwellian?

    In 1984, the purpose of the two minutes of hate was to inculcate rage against the dissident. Seems like more something CNN typically does than something which can be done to CNN.

    The network with two minutes of hate is OANN. It was on at work once, and they literally just showed a red screen with made-up stats about how many jobs immigrants have taken in the past hour while some discordant tone played in the background. It was fucking disturbing.

    You should stay in your bubble. Avoid the pain.

    The pain is realizing there's people falling for this shit.

    That American workers lose jobs to illegal immigrants?

    Lemme guess, you believe that the protest at the capitol was an armed white supremacist terrorist attack and the 60k National Guardsmen at the capitol today were necessary to prevent them from returning to assassinate Democrats.

      I love how you just assume what stuff I believe. Are you that desperate for a strawman?

      the 2016 election was rigged and the 2020 was the 'most secure election' in history, despite the fact that it would necessitate Trump strengthening the systems against himself (totally nonsensical) or that the 'deep state'/'swamp' strengthened it behind his back (which means they're up to obvious shenanigans and that Trump did not know of them or was powerless to stop them). Either of which means that these people are above the President.

      Saved!

      The SWJ Dems and NeoCon GOP are two wings of the same war-hawk corporate party.

      The progressive left and altright and all voluntarists/anarchists are NOT represented.

      🙄

      • The economy is not a zero-sum game;
        • You should be more worried about losing your job to automation than immigrants;
        • If your employer hires an illegal immigrant, is that the immigrant's fault, or your employer's?

      Are we talking about the protest where people planted IEDs, brought molotov cocktails and zip ties, and had lists of names of targets? That one? The one where their expressed goal was to kill Nancy Pelosi?

      lol! No. The one that happened in reality.

      You should be more worried about losing your job to automation than immigrants;

      Ought to be worried about both. One exascerbates the other.

      If your employer hires an illegal immigrant, is that the immigrant's fault, or your employer's?

      Another false dillemma. You should read more.

      Oh, the one where we're ignoring what actually happened. Gotcha.

      Ought to be worried about both. One exascerbates the other.

      ...the immigrants are building robots now?

      Another false dillemma. You should read more.

      I don't think so. On the one hand we have some poor people just looking for a better life, on the other we have some greedy fucks taking advantage of them. If you are worried about illegal immigration, then you should support harsher penalties for knowingly employing them and an easier path to citizenship, which would make it significantly harder for them to be taken advantage of.

      And I read plenty, but thanks. But it sounds like you should stop watching OANN and take your own advice.
