I've watched all of the media that I use to love turn to shit in the last decade. Myspace was great, for a time. Facebook was too. Digg. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Colbert. Chapelle. JRE. YouTube. Reddit. They all got mainstreamed (or ceased to exist altogether) and they all lost their edge.

John Oliver lost me in 2016 when he did a rubbish hatchet piece on Jill Stein - 100% bunk. The others have "Drift"ed with Maddow into the realms of the far insane SJW Left - away from the old-Left progressives. NONE ARE GOOD now. Same shit in the UK. ALL corporate media is 100% trash now. They used to be only part-time trash. Sunday morning pundits are the worst. I'd rather go to church and hear fairy tales that make more sense than their sanitized authoritarianism excuses. No wonder your head is so full of absurdities.

Ease up on the leftism, eh? It'll be good for ya. Try some meditation

I appreciate the responses, Jason, though as you know, I am not assessing an alternate universe, and I also disagree with much of the corporate TV media. I obviously think that we have the ability to understand what's worthwhile in corporate TV media, and what's trash. It's not all trash. One could also argue that Saidit is a place where one can sort out the informative content and the trash content.

How much power does SaidIt have over you? Little to none.

How much power does the corporatocracy hole over you? Banks, media, government, justice, health, food, etc... Full spectrum dominance. They have think tanks, NGOs, TRILLION$ to spend maintaining their dominance by any and all means necessary - including their mafia monopoly on violence.

If it was simple the sheeple would wake up from their alternate universe too - yet some of my neighbours are simple and knew before I even started talking to them about it.

Sure there's crap on SaidIt, but you don't need to mine hard to find the gold here.

I think we're both angry with the 1%, but have different approaches to them.

You sure push "their" talking points a lot for being angry with them.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

No, I don't.

Compelling retort. You're a faith based covid cultist that worships the great lab coat in the sky.

Sticks and stones....

As I've mentioned many times at Saidit, many of the users here who like the spread of disinformation and misinformation that this site allows are themselves supporting the 1%, by spreading the disinformation the 1% pays for. Why do they sponsor disinformation? To distract and anger the 99% into arguing with themselves regarding facts, science &c, which is working at Saidit. How does this work? These people who believe in the disinformation are more likely to vote for criminals like Trump, McConnell, Paul, Sinema, Manchen, Collins, and others when the receive millions from special intereest PACs, individuals, and corporations in order to vote on deregulation, tax cuts, and other arrangements that drive up the debt for the 99% to pay, while the 1% reap rhe rewards.

Deflection and hubris from a water bearer of division and misinformation. Shill me some more vaccines, masks, and lockdowns, Chav.
