So basically it's not a threat when right-wingers do it online, but when leftists do it online it is a serious threat.

As for why it's in fake news, honestly I misread it as actually being the only place where one posts news content, not noticing the newsroom channel. I'll fix that.

Talk about a huge waste of money, and the fact that it was premeditaded really shows how slimy Pence was

Dude, if you actually looked at the link, this story was published today and it talks about a report published this week that analyzes the costs of that stunt

https://www.vox.com/2018/10/11/17963744/mitt-romney-trump-impeachment-utah-midterms The hypocrisy and flip-flop from Romney is pretty interesting

Technically, Betterhelp isn't really a scam, and DeFranco has been upfront about what has been going on, even severing his partnership with the Betterhelp company.

In other words, the white liberals from Get Out

Technically, it only said that voters who went from Obama to Trump never switched because of economic anxiety, but racial anxiety and xenophobia.

Well, technically it would be social or economic. Plus, I think it's the only angles they can tackle since those are the two main pillars of what forms a political belief. If there are other angles they could have explored, then absolutely they should have explored it.

https://www.vox.com/ezra-klein-show-podcast/2018/10/22/17991170/press-media-trump-polarization-jay-rosen-avenatti I agree with the basic jist of the piece: Press media is making politics worse (especially in America) because they are really unable to adept to this new reality of how people conseume their news, and keep getting manipulated by hucksters who promote division, outrage and other BS

https://outline.com/ggjUVd Explosives found near George Soros's home in Westchester County, NY. Jesus christ the hatred against Soros has reached beyond partisan dislike

No kidding. The guy has effectively become the 21st century version of the Rothschild family, and previous prominent Jews before it.

Pretty obvious that the packages were sent by a conservative extremist

Anyone who says it's a false flag op by Democrats... Oy veigh.

Well, technically, it would be a Republican supporter if the guy was a conservative extremist.

I have high doubts it was antifa

Except for the fact that it's much more likely to be a Trump supporter and coincides with the rise of right-wing violence

So basically, like how certain right-wingers when they engage in violence act like a caricature of a left-winger to deflect.

It's already happening atkins, thanks to Trump

The guy is really sowing discord and division without a second thought, sometimes deliberately

Indeed, but he's really making things worse

If were going back that far pratel, then the right during the Clinton years were absolutely unhinged

For effs sake pratel the right during both Clinton and Obama years were completely unhinged beyond belief

A) The left (not center-left) were really pissed off with Obama about the Drone strikes and not going hard enough against Wall St. They blasted him hard.

Plus, under that logic, the right should have been supportive of Obama for continuing Bush's foreign policy, and also implementing a healthcare policy that was originally their idea.

Not really. Trump is bringing them back in

John Bolton anyone?

It's pretty obvious that there's only one criteria when he nominates someone in a government position: Loyalty.

That partially explain why his administration has been chaotic. Different competing strands of conservatism competing against eachother

Not, really.

The left is pretty diverse in ideas.

Under that logic, then the right is only diverse in interests and the policy directives tend to come from think tanks

You mean just like Democrats? Like how they have business groups, grassroots organizations, religious left, the young left, and the few think tanks along with academia?

Also, Atkins, funny thing about that. Leftists in general are found to be censored more on university campuses than the right. http://freespeechproject.georgetown.domains/

The university themselves

And sometimes the state government

Were those surveys surverying ordinary people?

Just like how conservatives will openly discriminate against liberals and the left

Wow Pratel, talk about NPC talking points.

I'm just honestly surprised by the blatant hypocrisy, especially since the dangers presented 'from the left' are vastly overstated

That's mostly because the parties are becoming ideologically homogenous, @4AM_critter 🐉

https://niskanencenter.org/blog/there-is-no-campus-free-speech-crisis-a-close-look-at-the-evidence/

Left-leaning libertarian, Pratel

The far-left is dangerous, but the fact that people here are ignoring that the far-right is increasingly becoming the norm for the right is just downright troubling.

Disavowing nazi's is one thing, but actions speak louder than words. Not to mention that nazi's aren't the only far-right groups in America

I mean look at how some GOP officials are supporting the Proud Boys

Far-left is communism though @Poppy Rider , socialism is just left.

Except the Nazi's were third rail politics, and many scholars agree that the party embraced the far-right. The Nazi's purged their socialists elements in the night of the long knives.

something to keep in mind Spooky is that 'workers' is a misnomer. This tweet thread pretty much sums it up https://twitter.com/MikeStuchbery_/status/898255481428361216

Outside of racial policies and wanting to make a land of only 'German People', it's also worth noting that the industrialists in Germany supported Hitler in 30's out of fear that the local communist party would win elections and would bring forth a 'bolshevik revolution'. https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/background-and-overview-of-the-nazi-party-nsdap https://www.snopes.com/news/2017/09/05/were-nazis-socialists/

The communist Party in China is not even communist anymore, since they are practicing capitalism (State-run capitalism)

https://www.economist.com/leaders/2012/01/21/the-rise-of-state-capitalism

I basically consider communism and absolutely free markets to be two sides of the same coin: Nice ideas in theory, but impossible to implement in practice without it going wrong.

Technically, it is. Capitalism is an economic system in which trade, industries, and the means of production are largely or entirely privately owned and operated for profit.

State capitalism is usually described as an economic system in which commercial (i.e. for-profit) economic activity is undertaken by the state, with management and organization of the means of production in a capitalist manner, including the system of capital accumulation, wage labor, and centralized management.

Simply the capitalist class was represented by the state. That is, state capitalism is a merely a flavor of capitalism, a monopolistic one, without market.

Well, let's be frank here, there's literally no proof that he's actively manipulating politics around the world, so much as being a political philantropist. And if he was, he's doing a really shit job at it.

I honestly can't tell if this is serious anti-semitism, or just straight up trolling xD

Juust like how things that are bad for the GOP get lost in the right-wing media space.

Gab isn't really competition though; at least in the same vein as FB and Twitter.

They explicity cater to a niche audience. Plus their platform of allowing most things to go through (as long as it isn't explicit law-breaking) really doesn't attract a large audience; because people are familiar with the net and know that it essentially translates to vicious bullying and harrassment running wild

Not really for conservative surpression. And as for the raw water thing, it's now a nationwide trend because snake oil salesmen is still a thing

Not to point out the obvious, but that really isn't trying to steer public opinion so much as it is trying to get rid of outlets that blatently print out false pieces of information

Beats me

I have high doubts about that

Very interesting opinion piece, one that I agree with honestly

It's not even liberal to be honest, it's just basically playing the charicature of centrists, the kind of centrists everyone hates.

What a load of BS and a sad state of hyper-partisanship on the Acosta situation. If Obama suspended press pass of any FOX reporter (which, for the record, he didn't) during his presidency, conservatives and Trump would be in a tit.

She literally tried to forcibly remove the mic from him

The only double standard is on the right

Then what's your excuse Bookworm?

Sorry that basically fact checking the President is fake news.

She literally tried to forcibly grab the mic from him.

It was not an assault

Your basically accusing Acosta of acting like a Fox News reporter during the Obama years.

They didn't

Just because you don't agree with him Tritrium doesn't make him inept.

Then under your logic Fox News Reporters are inept

Then why are you following Tim Pool @Misomania <:hm:285179291182825483>

That's still media. Alt media is just traditional media with a different coat of paint; same problems, same partisanship outlets, no interest in the whole truth among readers

And youtubers that cover news are still part of media and the same problem.
