Nobody operates on facts alone. Unless you were there when it happened, you have to trust a source to some degree.

Quite a lot of people just say fuck it, if its all varying degrees of shit, I’m not going to listen to any of it.

Thats how word of mouth type stuff ends up on fox news, because even they know a lot of right wing Americans wont trust professional news stories over their neighbors anecdotes.

We might think we use better sources, and check into things more vigorously, but our conclusions still require faith as much as any republicans beliefs.

We still haven’t even figured out how to refute religion conclusively, for example. Juries still out on whether religion is fantasy or actual reality, whether we think thats ridiculous or not.

People who are in an excited emotional state just aren’t going to do well thinking that stuff through.

I’m not immune to it either, I just dont have tiktok or facebook at all to avoid it.

Okay if its about men who say that, why are the news articles about boys saying it.

And no this isnt rape. Rape is rape. Shit talk is shit talk or whatever you want to call it.

The point I’m making is that people shouldnt assume a story has merit simply because its being written about in a news paper. They aren’t choosing stories based on merit, they are picking them based on revenue.

Its telling that most of the stories leave out Nick Fuentes name, or else people wouldnt click it because they know thats his schtick to begin with.

Good one.

You must be one of the good americans then, bravo!

I understand the your body my choice rhetoric is incredibly volatile, but it doesnt automatically mean its coming from a substantial group of men across the country.

A news article about something doesnt mean its widespread or representative of men in general.

Americans value the speed and simplicity of a message over accuracy or nuance.

Both parties used that to their advantage to post out of context clips, something that I would consider manipulative at best.

People want to vote. Give them a candidate and party worth voting for.

Abstaining from a broken system is a protest in itself. How else would we know how broken the system was if people weren’t allowed to withhold their vote from all candidates.

I wish I had the same blind faith as you but I need some sign they will go against the corporations that are currently running the working class into the ground for profit.

I think with young voters the main difference is they think voting is a cool thing to do regardless of party. They still are very susceptible to the media bubbles, but I’m not sure either party has the advantage there.

I saw both sides of tiktok for republicans and democrats, and it was like they paid the same viral marketing campaign because they followed the same templates.

Short clips, out of context, along with a quick message leading you to the right conclusion. Not a whole lot different than the radio and TV ads.

He found fame and money saying this type of stuff. Its to the point where people exclude his attribution in the title because otherwise its not very interesting.

And nothing was learned, yet again.

Its the will of the people my friend. Americ a isnt the good boy you think it to be.

I will tell you that middle schoolers these days just say the dumbest shit. Like lines they’ve heard others say but have no idea what it means.

And they argue over the dumbest shit too. Anyways this is just me saying this story fits well with my current understanding of young kids in school. I think its only news because it related to trump and the election, and thats worth money nowadays.

Remember, the news stories we are served are chosen by profitability rather than social impact.

At least all these undatable men are outing themselves so publicly.

Start making a list ladies!

Are you saying its common sense to vote Kamala because she would help dismantle the two party system?

New voters voted for him too. All you saw was that they wouldnt choose kamala over trump, even if she tried to act like she would bring the old school republican party back.

People are being taken advantage of worse than ever, and only one party would admit that and talk about fixing it. Thats the party that won.

The democrats represent the group of americans that think money and “american ingenuity” can solve all problems. No problem is a real problem because we can always solve it if we just try real hard to make the current thing better.

Thats why they are the status quo party, its literally their whole founding belief.

The republicans are a party of changing backwards, which only works sometimes, usually when people are upset: “remember when things weren’t awful…?”

The rest of the parties are thinking long term and are true parties of change but you need money to make it in politics, or else not enough people even know you exist at the higher political levels. There were I think five “third” parties on my ballot but I only ever heard people talk about one or two of them.

I’m not sure if its more likely the democrat party collapses out of disinterest and a third party replaces them, or if the democrat party will become a true party of change for the future.

It could just continue on as the party of “America is amazing and will always be amazing so vote for us for more amazing.”

Check out the working class party that started in michigan in 2016.

When did she say the supreme court stuff or the anti-corporate stuff?
