What in the name of the Illuminati is going on here? And why in the name of Alex Jones are you usually reliable nutters not freaking the heck out?

    I don’t understand the US, there was a big fuzz a decade or so ago when there were talks of Schwarzenegger as presidential candidate and 10-15 years later you get a non-elected foreign in the government?

    Honestly you need Arnold back, with his Conan sword.

      The TL;DR is Propaganda works. And the US is flooded with it.

      And for those who think the “left” can just copy propaganda - no, it doesn’t work like that. Propaganda only serves conservative goals.

        Disagree, our lack of left-wing propaganda and left-wing financial support for influencer media is 75% of the reason dems lose.

          Right, and how exactly is the group that decries capitalism meant to obtain financial support, or break through the righ-wing captured media?

          Capitalism is fundamentally incompatible with leftist ideology, and will do everything in its power to squash it.

            I don’t think it would take that much capital. 20 million a year you could sponsor a hundred operations all over the country in places with tons of talent but no funding. They can also end up generating profit to self sustain themselves.

          Well that’s certainly true- I guess maybe I should say the past attempts at a right-wing style approach to media but from a left-wing perspective have failed.

            The usual: they control most of the media through subsidies. Keep calling everyone against them “far right” while making deals with actual ethnonationalist far right parties. At some point they even took part in the overtaking of one of the banks (but it wasn’t succesful), oh and they also control the biggests syndicates and funny thing they recently went to strike to protest the opposition.

            Also populism.

                I am also whining about the radical right worldwide.

                I bet if I would have used a pic of Maximus from Gladiator you would say the same.

                Edit. Sad that you block people but okay, enjoy your echo chamber and your lack of growth from other’s people perspectives and opinions.

                Ad-hominem will lead you nowhere.
