Jace, Extat Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I'm not condoning the algorithms that push these characters Or the cable news profit incentives that encourage replaying Donald's filth over and over again and treating it like serious political discourse But you can't hide it Wade1865 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn’t it a bit different now? Genuine question, I’m curious b/c my only view into this is from the outside. But looking from the outside, it seems there was a rejection of extreme maga n the midterms… which is great but maybe not enough yet.

In over 1,000 minutes of national broadcast television airtime devoted to all the campaigns, Donald Trump received 327 minutes, or close to one-third of all the campaign coverage. Bernie Sanders received just 20 minutes. Hillary Clinton got 121 minutes of campaign coverage, six times the amount Sanders received. "ABC World News Tonight" aired 81 minutes of reports on Donald Trump, compared with just 20 seconds for Sanders. kissdbyfire, Winterfell is Burning, Mindwalker and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo we have serious issus with the way big business and profit incentives clash with the susceptibility of our political processes. To say nothing of the gleeful crippling of the legislative branch, naked partisanship in the legislative, and a government that can't even do basic tasks without Executive Order. None of those problems are easy to fix, but by refusing to address them in favor of easy solutions that I guarantee you will be turned against you, you will validate these people you're trying to suppress.

Yeah after a myriad of viciously racist, xenophobic, and homophobic advocacy that converted loads of people to extremism he got canceled. if he made his comments about underage girls he wouldn’t even face that. Matt Walsh’s comments concerning underage girls are on par or worse than Milo’s for example. And the right wing has steadily tried to rehabilitate his image.

I don't mean to come off like an expert but I thought he went on some podcast and ran his mouth and that was it for him Tate has been outing himself as a rapist and he was getting more and more attention till the authorities actually arrested him. 6ix9ine was convicted of creating child pornography and he didn't lose public attention till he started snitching after his RICO charge. Roman Polanski is a convicted child rapist and he's got to make movies till he dies. Even being a known nonce wouldn't have put Milo out of commission if certain people controlling the output hadn't collectively decided it was so.
