The court papers said Spagnuolo's most lucrative alleged Polymarket wins were correctly predicting who would and would not be the most searched for person on Google in 2025.

He allegedly placed bets against names, like Bianca Censori and President Donald Trump, and chose the singer D4vd as taking the top spot when the betting platform had odds of that result being near zero.

Don't talk to the police. The only person that will help you is your lawyer.

Can't imagine it'll take more than a couple hours. Seeing as your comment is 3 hours old... it's probably over.

Swimming is very, very technique based.

Or left handed!

Do it.

Roses are gray.

Violets are gray.

I'm a dog.

I don't get it.

And both sides same!

Me: vote.

You: why are you telling people not to vote?

Unreal.

I agree, but I put it more down to Fox et al than the social contract.

I would change it to: " The same people who voted for Obama ~~to show how “Not racist” they were,~~ because they were open to the idea of being not racist ~~suddenly became furious that he won~~ were bombarded by Fox how terrible Obama was and how horrible Democrats were. And they slowly but surely absorbed that message. "

Fox went absolutely apeshit after Obama was elected, they wanted to do everything they could to bring him down in any way they could. And their rhetorical techniques are good at appealing to people (inb4 lemmy's seeming misreading, it's disgusting, but I observe that it works).

It's a little disjointed because I edited in the first paragraph, but yes it does respond to what you said.

Do you want a line by line breakdown? Ok.

We’re not talking about the right, though; we’re talking about the left and center.

Agreed. And guess what? The right wing's propaganda machine has reached the center. That's the whole point. 18 years of hardcore propaganda has reached the center. That's the point of propaganda.

You know, the people who voted for Obama,

You don’t have do go very far to find “my dad was the greatest, didn’t care if people were black” EDIT AT ADD: "and voted for Obama". And those people changed to, well, I won’t repeat much of the Qanon.

There’s a whole sub for it, remember? QanonCasualties. People that were formely center or Obama voters that got suckered in. That’s the point of propaganda, to spread the message, to increase their voters.

Why even care what the right thinks?

The whole point of propaganda is to reach other people. So it's not what the right thinks, it's how the people that were formerly center that have been suckered in to the right's propoganda will vote.

Sure, but that cuts both ways.

No it doesn’t cut both ways because left media is beholden to the truth, and right wing media can do whatever they want. They lie their ass off. They twist. They appeal to easy emotions like fear and anger. The left media can't do that.

The most popular “news” source is what? Fox.

You are missing everything. Like fucking everything.
