Don't let the mainstream media indoctrinate you!

Watch Fox, OANN, Jon Stossel, PoggerU, Ben Shap, Cucker Tarlson, Skeptical Doctor, Thomas Sowell, the Conservative Woman, the opinion column of [your nearest conservative newspaper here], they'll tell you why woke is bad!

[–] SuperTulle@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

But they still can't tell you what "woke" actually is...

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I seem to remember the q-tards talking about an awakening. Is that woke?

And I keep wondering why the scam bots are still so successful.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.social 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

And I keep saying you scam bots crack me up.

It's always absurd when a conservative snarkily asks for sources. And then when provided official sources they just scoff and go "Psh, you really think they're telling the truth?"

Bc the tactic of fascism is to make you spend lots of energy dismissing their lies.

I just lean into them. "I heard they are lizard brains!", "they control you with your toothpaste!", " I can't eat that because last time I ended up in a Russian prison!"

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

Not even peer reviewed data it's that they can have zero faith in a professional unless it's a emergency. You can get second opinions on medical issues but most will just go on youtube/google and "do the research themselves..."

What's so wrong about mistrusting the experts?

In a marketplace of ideas, maybe panzer88 and your prepper uncle John, have equally valid solutions but you'll never know if you don't listen to everything they say

Lol, last time a conspiracy but tried to get me to do my own research. I made her give me a source site for her claims...

The whois search on the site was a propaganda company in Russia... I mean they didn't even bother hiding it...

But only the dark cesspool corners of YouTube that agree with the same bullshit, either through ignorance or downright cynical malice.

If you really want to see where they get their "truth" from, you should check this out... just be warned, you may want a shower after...

The articles are indistinguishable from the ads lol

MediaBiasFactCheck says it’s mostly free. And, in the end, isn’t that all that matters.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

I love the descriptors:

"Stories can range from moderately credible to tin-foil hat conspiracies."

[–] Dempf@lemmy.zip 1 points 8 months ago

"Mostly Free" is their rating for the USA, as a country. At least when it comes to media.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 months ago

Well, nice to know the crazy also apparently inhibits the ability to form coherent sentences for most of them. Lotta word salad going on over there

have you seen this video as I’m trying to enjoy my rot gut buffet meal in the employee dining room, absolutely unprovoked.
