Okay now justify the cost it took to create the tool.

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.

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.
