but look at what games journalism is looked at? People by far and large think of it as a joke

2018-10-20 19:10:10 UTC  

same story with the media

2018-10-20 19:10:15 UTC  

Not really actually.

2018-10-20 19:10:26 UTC  

_they can't fuck up_

2018-10-20 19:10:45 UTC  

Journalism has no power to influence now that it's become such blatant activism.

2018-10-20 19:10:51 UTC  

Their objective is to drag us down with them

2018-10-20 19:11:01 UTC  

what do u mean ginga

2018-10-20 19:11:23 UTC  

for example... i bought new shoes last month. i did not buy from the brand i would probably have bought because they chose to advertise with the shitty qb that lost "my team" the super bowl by being a shitty qb that does not understand the meaning of "second read".

2018-10-20 19:11:33 UTC  

They can bounce back, we can't

2018-10-20 19:11:37 UTC  

They have different win conditions

2018-10-20 19:11:45 UTC  

Yes

2018-10-20 19:11:45 UTC  

Their win condition is one victory

2018-10-20 19:11:55 UTC  

While the conservative one is constantly win

2018-10-20 19:12:08 UTC  

While the conservatives are winning now

2018-10-20 19:12:31 UTC  

Unless it makes itself more mallaeble there is a chance the dems will win and make a conservative victory harder

2018-10-20 19:13:00 UTC  

Like even if Trump manages to kick out all illegal migrants, reduce Cali's seats

2018-10-20 19:13:18 UTC  

The Dems will simply find another way. Reduce voting ages and unionize teachers.

2018-10-20 19:13:28 UTC  

Basically the dems are losing the battles not the war. The war is over the overton window and that has been constantly shifting left. It has only slowed down now because of Trump but if the republicans don't keep winning and pushing right then we lose that war.

2018-10-20 19:13:51 UTC  

I think Tankman's point is not that lefties are "winning" as of now. But they have no apparent failiure state

2018-10-20 19:14:05 UTC  

So they may not win now, but they cant "lose" either.

2018-10-20 19:14:17 UTC  

Where Im assuming "lose" means the complete destruction of the dem party.

2018-10-20 19:15:01 UTC  

It's not Democrats that must lose, it's the ideology of authoritarian equity.

2018-10-20 19:15:14 UTC  

^

2018-10-20 19:15:39 UTC  

So long as it's identity politics

2018-10-20 19:15:54 UTC  

So long as it's authoritarian equity

2018-10-20 19:16:06 UTC  

Either side will lose

2018-10-20 19:16:10 UTC  

Badly

2018-10-20 19:16:44 UTC  

But they can afford to lose right now
and Why is that? Because they have the megaphones we don't, they have the microphones, they have the reach, they own the companies, they own the speaking events, they can choose what gets reported & what gets censored

2018-10-20 19:17:22 UTC  

They have that over us at the moment

2018-10-20 19:17:39 UTC  

Thing is, dont underestimate the repub backlash.

2018-10-20 19:17:51 UTC  

So every loss they suffer is small

2018-10-20 19:17:58 UTC  

but i dont get it

2018-10-20 19:18:06 UTC  

And theres also cause to say that the media actually made more people change their aisle.

2018-10-20 19:18:14 UTC  

And every loss we suffer is potentially dangerous

2018-10-20 19:18:20 UTC  

people dont care anymore about the MSM as they used to

2018-10-20 19:18:34 UTC  

It's an uphill battle but I think we have a chance.

2018-10-20 19:18:37 UTC  

Its the unpredictability that is making the trumpbase more powerful than the MSM cares to admit or even know

2018-10-20 19:18:40 UTC  

A slim one.

2018-10-20 19:18:41 UTC  

And places like twitter have been on the downhill for a few years now

2018-10-20 19:19:01 UTC  

facebook is trending in the same direction, but their public is now the normies essentially
