But that's a bit off topic.
It wasn't just charisma, Hillary had a very dirty baggage behind her. And she couldn't convince anyone that wasn't already ideologically possessed.
I think the media chooses different approaches based on which side of the spectrum they're on. The progressive media outlets simply pretend people with differing opinions either don't exist or are fascist, racist, Nazis; conservatives seem to do a good job illustrating that there are other opinions, however, they use very spotty evidence for many of their claims, don't look far enough into things, and act as though other opinions are stupid; and, in conclusion, they're all bad new sources.
Wait, isn't this pierce Brosnan in the last movie with Jackie Chan?
north or south korea?
I really like the point Sargon makes about diversity in his Thinkery video "Two More #Feminid Arguments: Forced Diversity and Fascist Theocrats", where he talks about not really caring about diversity as long as they don't mention "hey, did you notice we have coloreds in this movie? it's diverse!" I think that that is the best way of phrasing how to "fix" the push for diversity thesedays.
First, let's define diversity, to paraphrase Jordan Peterson.
Like, instead of focusing all your efforts in creating this diverse charcter into making them have special genitals or darker skin, you should focus on making the character interesting and then add on the black pussy afterwars
by diversity I mean representing minorities in media and such
YOU would think diversity means having all races together. THEY think diversity means non-white.
When they say "we want to reach 100% diversity", they mean "we want to have no whites."
Well, white males, since white women get a pass, sometimes.
Pasting it here because it's relevant:
>Drake says research suggests that millennials especially will spend more on brands that support causes they care about.
That was a comment from a PR guy from T-Mobile.
I'm talking about how the minorities are a harder minority in entertainment, not the silly anti-white SJW shit narrative you're talking about.
It's almost shocking to see them being so honest about it.
Well, radical left opinions are becoming much more normal and accepted thesedays.
but that's aside from the point
The radical left operates on historical compensation, so in their mind "all black"(for example) is "diverse" to counteract historical "all white" in specific areas
They also have the unfortunate habit of perceiving "minority status" as "oppressed status". Hypothetically, they would see that since there are less, let's say, purple people, and they'd perceive that as oppresion and start a "purple lives matter" group to protest the lack of rich purple people, when purple people have nearly the same proportion of rich to poor as the orange majority.
Not a habit.
An ideology.
They combine sloppy reasoning with partial truths and create a false reality that they base their entire narrative off of.
There's no reason to come up with refined theories that would make their actions appear sensible. They aren't. As in, you're putting in way more thought than they are.
The saddest part of the whole thing is that most of them likely genuinely believe the shit they push. It's like Alex Jones or any of the other mad conspiracy theorists,
They don't analyze the unfortunate situation of black people and then conclude it's a class struggle. They **start** from the class struggle ideology, then try to shove everything into it.
If they did reach the class struggle conclusion from logical steps, they'd be able to argue something when challenged.
That does also make a lot of sense. I've been trying to understand what it is I'm missing about the progressive ideology. I thought that surely it isn't that they're just dumb, or manipulative, or willfully ignoring facts. How else could they have so much support?
I think what you're saying makes a bit more sense.
Watch Jordan Peterson, my dude. He breaks it down beautifully.
Understanding ideologies, specially the very destructive ones, is his specialty.
Yeah, I've seen a bit of his content, I'd consider myself a fan.
Watch it again. I watched many of his videos multiple times. I realized I just didn't get the simplicity of the words he was saying the first time I watched many of his videos. He really craft his sentences with precision.
When he says "it's simpler than that", he really means it.
Jordan Peterson is very good at saying things in a way that isn't condescending or rude, and the left could learn a thing or two about that from him.
Somebody (I think Crowder?) made the point, the left has no center. It's not that the "center" of the left is radicalized, it's that people that claim to be on the left, without reservations, are not even sure of how extreme their positions are, and are willing to go all the way if other leftists push them to it.
Or if they're confronted by conservatives, or even classical liberals.
