    We are not ready for AI shenanigans. This wasn’t even that, much easier to throw together for rage points.

    Don’t let this get in the way of their manufactured outrage though. The socialists love a good hissy fit.

        I never said they don’t. But right wingers, leftists…. Same fucking thing.

              The adults sure as hell don’t. I would have been considered an edgy teenager when I stopped saluting the flag during the US invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan because I didn’t feel right. I was also fucking right.

                So you’re saying right wingers and leftists are the same thing?

                Because that’s pretty fucking dumb, just like the first guy who said it earlier in the threat.

                  Nothing I said could be interpreted as a “both sides” argument. Just that “edgy teenagers” aren’t always wrong.

              Throwing in random, hollow political buzzwords, because that’s what it’s about, right? That’s how to fake a lack of knowledge and understanding, via smoke and mirrors and these here fancy words that seem to push peoples’ big shiny red buttons.

                All of you are children. Both the democrats and republicans are liberals. Dems are neo, republicans are classical - though half of those people also want to mix and match with nationalism. There’s something that you should know tho: liberalism is slightly right from centre, i.e NOT left-wing. That’s Yee olde US McCarthyism goal post moving at its best.

                When it comes to outrage machines, the oldest one in memory is the Daughter of the confederacy, who were pro-slavery almost a century after the civil war. They put up all those confederate statues and help to put into place a lot of parcel feminist laws, i.e Hillary Clinton Karen laws, to protect them selves from the darkies, but eventually, as another judicial dog and pony show in the cirucs that is US legislature, because of course it’s been spilling over to law FOR OVER A CENTURE - heck, almost one and a half by now.

                This outrage btw is also what allowed the US to carpetbomb Latin-American economy and is arguably the biggest reason why the cartels have so much power.

                So yeah, outrage laws are dumb, and McCarthyism is one of the dumbest outrage cultures in the history of outrage cultures.

                It’s just a bunch of liberals going “BUT MOOOOOOM, my ideology is the good one! These other ones are bad and we should ban them.”

                About a century of liberalism has proven that liberalism, wether neo or classical, is for idiots and nationalists who don’t want to come out as nationalists, who want to curb any other political movement - which makes the term “liberalism” the most abused marketing term for the past 300 years.

                “It’s about individualism!” I.e economic isolationism, nuclear family, anti-collectivist (or collectives that don’t hold political power that is - i.e nepotism), and let’s not forget the economic and psychological warfare they’ve committed to for so long.

                But socialist, socialists are obviously the problem /s

                  What’s your point?

                  Leftists and right wingers are not the same. Liberals and leftists are not the same.

                  If you had any sense you would have stopped yourself from writing the second you conflated the two.

            I think a lot of neolibs conflate the two because both groups are more likely to think the system is broken in a significant way. They’re also more likely to do the worst thing imaginable, advocate for things in a tone neolibs don’t approve of. Obviously leftists want good things to happen and conservatives want to hurt people so the conflation is just smug BS

          They’re not the same thing overall, but their tendency towards strongly believing they’re right and gathering in echochambers is similar.

          Also, with Kremlin and other propaganda supporting both extremes on social media in order to divide people, the far left and far right can seem eerily similar.

      You’re right. Using trickery like that should only be reserved for making people think your candidate and black people get along really, really well.
