>people posting Onion articles in here

Really rustles my jimmies folks

Well it is <#399204742846349312>.

Fair

I just think that the onion deserves a bit more respect than to be posted in the same channel as cnn or msnbc

Parody is different from the intent of fake-news

fake-news is for misleading information, media fucking up or being dishonest in general

So here's one for you guys. What do you think? Actual crazy feminist or fox news plant? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP-lpEOVcmY https://thenextweb.com/media/2018/03/03/fox-triggers-its-own-audience-with-misleading-viral-video/ https://biowikis.com/cathy-areu/ https://twitter.com/areucathy?lang=en

what is it with this "right side of history"-bs? if you ARE on it, you don't have to tell people about it.

Advertising technique.

I have yet to meet a leftist who didn't believe their total victory was inevitable, morally righteous and the only truth. Traditionally, it's a Marxist belief (Marx believed that societies would always devolve to give more power to the people and believed it to be 'scientifically correct.' Alot of it gets lost in his calls for activism, but he fundamentally believed the revolution was inevitable and would only be a matter of time)

Now, why it's become popular recently? I'm not sure. It's something of a threat--the losers in a revolution are usually killed--but I think it's essentially a bandwagon proposal. It's actually kind of fascist in a way, it's saying to join in our side as we're stronger and will win. And you want to win, don't you?

But the left has gotten far more radical and far more activist lately, and it might be a part of it.

Probably more symptom than cause. But there's a relationship there.

it's an appeal to emotion, instead of reason.

a bad way to argue.

Well, maybe not a bad way, because it does work...

It's the bandwagon effect.

You also will notice they like to say the US is "behind" Europe on whatever issue they care about (like 'hate speech')

Yep- US is so much behind Europe when it comes to suppression of free speach. You all should get your shit together and finally sentence someone for joke, without looking at context. Come on US- it isnt that hard

On the social level we aren't really all that far behind. We fire and destroy people because of their thoughts or just our thoughts we project onto their words.

Yes, we fire and destroy people's reputations, either for fun or profit or for politics--you can even hire people to do that crap to you. Also our civil courts, especially in family law, and our child protective services, are Orwellian.
