"There's a wonderful invention. It's called Google. Use it" ~ Cenk

2018-04-28 00:06:44 UTC  

That was where he went wrong he started insulting the crowd

2018-04-28 00:35:32 UTC  

I was looking for a recast of the Uygar debate, and I ran across a video by a scrappy little youtuber that was entitled "Cenk said to Google it, so I did"

2018-04-28 00:35:39 UTC  

and....here I am

2018-04-28 00:57:09 UTC  

I was just browsing YouTube one day and I had checked out one of blonde's vids and then a thing from philly D and then matt popped up and now I'm a weekly viewer

2018-04-28 01:05:34 UTC  

HI

2018-04-28 01:41:24 UTC  

I was watching Matt during the tail end of the skagg3 days and only bothered with the discord after I caved and decided to be a patron. And then my Wednesdays became busy

2018-04-28 01:42:54 UTC  

I decided to start calling in because I can't talk to anyone but my younger brother about politics

2018-04-28 01:47:30 UTC  

I redpilled my sister

2018-04-28 01:49:24 UTC  

My whole family is Republican and I'm a through and through centrist so I can't talk to my dad about any thing because he goes from 0 to invade Mexico in a hurry

2018-04-28 02:28:14 UTC  

My sister started voting right side of the ticket when she started dating her current boyfriend, but she's far from redpilled

2018-04-28 04:15:06 UTC  

My sister clings to a few leftie policies but is overall done with leftist commies and tumblrites

2018-04-28 04:15:22 UTC  

And is now trying to slow convert her friends

2018-04-28 04:15:56 UTC  

Every so often I remind her of the unbearable commie she could have become

2018-04-28 04:16:40 UTC  

Gotta warn them away early

2018-04-28 04:17:40 UTC  

She was full on. Started a GSA at her school, had a tumblr account, supported Trudeau. Whole 9 yards

2018-04-28 04:17:57 UTC  

I consider redpill to be the ability to think independently of an authoritive state. In today's environment that almost requires you to be at least right leaning, but I can't see any universe where my sister came to it on her own decision

2018-04-28 04:18:27 UTC  

My sister votes Republican because her boyfriend tells her to

2018-04-28 04:19:11 UTC  

@@Beemann Damn that's hardcore left man

2018-04-28 04:19:32 UTC  

My sister is at that Sargon stage where she's not willing to admit the flaws of the welfare state and still is kinda iffy on guns

2018-04-28 04:20:01 UTC  

That one last desperate hand clutching just left of center

2018-04-28 04:20:43 UTC  

But comes to her own conclusions and is jaded about the legal system

2018-04-28 04:20:51 UTC  

As far as it goes man that's better than most of the chicks I meet especially at my little brothers school

2018-04-28 04:21:13 UTC  

That's better than most of the people I've met her age lol

2018-04-28 04:21:32 UTC  

You generally either get apolitical or left

2018-04-28 04:22:02 UTC  

That's true I got in trouble at work for calling out a customer on some BS about comey

2018-04-28 04:22:23 UTC  

Yeah you gotta learn to pick those battles lol

2018-04-28 04:22:47 UTC  

Like I explained the gun debate to my grandfather but didn't bother trying to correct my aunt

2018-04-28 04:22:48 UTC  

Yeah especially since I'm in a more left leaning part of arizona

2018-04-28 04:23:27 UTC  

Despite both of them using the same media-fed arguments

2018-04-28 04:23:54 UTC  

That's kinda tricky isn't it

2018-04-28 04:26:40 UTC  

Some people just ain't willing to hear it

2018-04-28 04:26:59 UTC  

And it's not like my grandfather flipped on it either, but at least he's making better arguments

2018-04-28 04:27:26 UTC  

I dont require agreement, just facts

2018-04-28 04:27:28 UTC  

One of my older brothers is that way with social programs

2018-04-28 04:28:00 UTC  

I think there's a basis for some of them, tbh, it's just a question of whether you figure people can come about creating them organically

2018-04-28 04:28:14 UTC  

Mental health and childcare being two major ones

2018-04-28 04:28:22 UTC  

And two that the government frequently fucks up as well

2018-04-28 04:29:59 UTC  

My biggest issue is Food Stamps

2018-04-28 04:30:43 UTC  

My biggest issue is government monopolies beyond the absolute necessities

2018-04-28 04:32:33 UTC  

I get that I just think they need to be limited and regulated a bit more
