I wouldn't want to read a book like Downsize This as an adult no, its basically a collection of Buzzfeed numbered list articles
prey on the moment of weakness.
Top Ten Corporate Welfare Mothers
Seven tricks to seducing your trans boss, and you won't believe the fourth!
These five unexpected gelato flavours will leave you scratching your head!
Thirteen former child actors who sold lemonade as children, and sometimes as adults!
!!!!
But yeah Michael Moore's stuff is kind of dumbed down, so when a WWE promoter is the POTUS you're kind of out of your league.
I mean, he doesn't have to compete (or maybe he does?), but he can at least uhh...
Make it fun I guess.
Fundamentally, Michael Moore isn't fun anymore; he doesn't make his world view look like any fun at all.
It seems like if you join Michael Moore, you will have seasonal affective disorder all year round.
I really like the artwork there
Yeah
Qualitatively
Right, don't yet have an opinion on whether its an accurate criticism of what's going on, but its a good cartoon artwise.
Really cool motif with the Democrats in the car.
And the weird cutout shading on the Kavanaugh
Michael Moore is a fat has been
It'd be bad enough if he were a normal-BMI has-been.
He was relevant 20 years ago, all you need to tell him is, "the future is here old man"
Even rush Limbaugh is irrelevant in today's politics
What do you mean "even" or "today"?
Moore being fat was an advantage at his peak, it made him seem more like a typical flyover state homeboy
But the facade is shattered and he's been shown to be an urbanite liberal
As somebody with Michigander ties, it really is disappointing to hear people defend his views mainly because they are nostalgic about something in Detroit.
The guy who made himself famous originally by talking about closing plants in Michigan is somehow against the president who killed the TPP
Really outs him as a shill
michael moore is a fat attention whore fuck
im glad southpark meme'd his ass
also new southpark this wednesda y
Sorry, CTR shill
They gave examples in which corporate-funded think tanks like The Media Institute or the anti-communist Freedom House would deluge media organizations that ran the wrong kinds of stories with “letters, telegrams, phone calls, petitions, lawsuits” and other kinds of pressure.
What was the wrong kind of story? Here we learned of another part of the propaganda model, the concept of worthy and unworthy victims. Herman and Chomsky defined the premise as follows:
```A propaganda system will consistently portray people abused in enemy states as worthy victims, whereas those treated with equal or greater severity by its own government or clients will be unworthy.```
Under this theory, a Polish priest murdered by communists in the Reagan years was a “worthy” victim, while rightist death squads in U.S.-backed El Salvador killing whole messes of priests and nuns around the same time was a less “worthy” story.
What Herman and Chomsky described was a system of informal social control, in which the propaganda aims of the state were constantly reinforced among audiences, using a quantity-over-quality approach.
The left has gone from bringing our attention to shit like this, to doing it themselves.
