Absolutely. I wouldn't be surprised if nearly all of them did. Kevin Nash has said some stupid shit in the past too but as of recent he's radlibbing his way into the first Maoist in the HOF.

What I think they meant is that a lot of people in wrestling have gone to have political careers. Ventura, Kane, Linda McMahon, etc
You can still acknowledge that and say some forms of media are more engaging with certain conditions. I feel as in the future, the same way that someone with epilepsy shouldn't consume media with flashing lights, someone with schizophrenia shouldn't be subject to feedback-reinforcing loops with personalized content that has a profile built off your data.
Is it still a symptom? Yes.
How engaging the media is is irrelevant.
Most forms of propaganda would beg to differ.
It does. All though, some things will never change. They just rearrange.
Tsze-kung asked, saying, 'What do you say of a man who is loved by all the people of his neighborhood?'
The Master replied, 'We may not for that accord our approval of him.'
'And what do you say of him who is hated by all the people of his neighborhood?'
The Master said, 'We may not for that conclude that he is bad. It is better than either of these cases that the good in the neighborhood love him, and the bad hate him.'
believe anything in the godforsaken western world will improve in any of our lifetimes.
What keeps me optimistic is the whole "weeks and decades" quote that lives rent-free in my head.
I think the presence of carnies like Dana White, Rogan and the other man-o-sphere types combining politics with combat sports as a way to appeal to a fragile demographic is setting an example for any combat sport, entertainment wrestling as well.
I have a mild feeling that the machine that has defense industry contracts, feeds off your browsing data/cookies and manipulates itself to change in accordance to your personality or features is a bit more psychologically engaging than regular media.
I agree. I was making the comment in regards to a user that said me cheering on the halt of exploitation in the global south no matter the consequences in the first-world is accelerationism despite any halt of treats or disruption in the best interests of those in the west tend to differ than those "best interests" in the global south and thus would spawn reactionary movements despite whatever conditions when those treats are taken away.
Leftists can highlight that difference by trying to help people right now and by supporting at least decent electoral projects. If those projects succeed, they help a little and maybe open up other avenues of more significant improvement. If they fail, they’re a radicalization moment, and the people you were just trying to help will give you the time of day because you showed you’re actually interested in helping them.
I'm aware, that is exactly why I can cheer on the halt of exploitation and still do the work at home. Was referencing this: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/8264964/6576915
B-but that's a accelerationism!
So they can further enforce the legal precedent and framework of prosecuting those who actually have the courage, will and bravery to do what must be done and shove a knife directly into the Zionist feeding tubes that keep the illegitimate state of "Israel" going?
But yeah, this wont be used to expand definitions to cover entire anti-zionist groups doing whatever they can to stop their shit-hole island bankrolling and arming a state competing with the Nazis to kill as many people as possible of a certain skin color.
Did your mother put out cigarettes on your soft-spot as a kid? Can you clarify that one for me, motherfucker?
