Podcaster Joe Rogan argued that the media engaged in "massive, concentrated psy-op" to "distort people's perceptions" of Trump once he went from celebrity to politician.

      Apparently this sub is their personal downvote-magnet clearing-house for right-wing bullshit.

      While insisting they’re super duper left-wing… and just find all this fascinating, hmm, yes.

        Left-wing news is totally welcome here too. And third-party news as well. I post whatever political news I find interesting, regardless of the party.

        I’ve posted socialist party news here too.

          Adding more punch to the bowl doesn’t excuse the turds.

          Most news you “find interesting” is not news. And you don’t engage with it any deeper than saying ‘how interesting.’ No, sorry: your opinion of Joe Rogan is “I like him.” That’s at least a decision! Not that you’ve put any apparent thought into why you’re promoting the shallow podcast bro who uncritically platforms cranks and now thinks there’s a conspiracy against the convicted felon and sexual assailant who staged a failed coup d’etat.

          Your username is embarrassingly apt. You do not appear to have beliefs, except for the amusement of entertaining them. You act like a p-zombie.

          And that’s being polite. When you post shit from The Daily Mail, an indefensible rag that sided with the actual goddamn Nazis, and people ask why the fuck you’d do that, you just repeat ‘I like it!’ You do not appear to know what propaganda is, let alone how it works. Nor do you appear to know what trolling looks like, when you insist this bullshit is totally different, somehow. I mean gosh, what’s so troll-y about claiming to be a super duper leftist while glibly spreading right-wing garbage? All you’re saying is that you like the garbage!

            It is if I say it is. So it is. :)

            When you post shit from The Daily Mail

            I like the Daily Mail! And I guess lots of people do too since it’s one of the biggest news sites in the world.

            You do not appear to know what propaganda is

            I don’t care.

            So I’m curious about something; did you actually think that your rant would change my mind or my attitude?

            You realize that I created and mod this community. right? Which means, I can post anything I want.

            You are totally free to just block me, block this community, or both. And you are free to create your own community.

            Nothing you have said, and I mean nothing, has changed my opinion at all. In fact, it’s the Democratic party acting just like you, that lost the election. Both the electoral AND the popular vote.

            Your party lost because they had become the party of assholes. Think about that. They were considered to be even more assholes than republicans. Do you realize how hard that is to do?!

            Your name-calling, your wrong assumptions, and your arguing just because you don’t agree with my opinion. is hilarious to me. Democrats lost because it’s filled with people like you.

            If you and they keep up this attitude, they’ll lose the next election too, friend.

            This community is open. If you have some news articles you wanna post, got for it. But let me guess, now you’re “done” with the community and don’t want anything to do with it, right?! So rather than be the change you wanna see, you’ll just bitch about it. Cool.

              Stopped reading.

              You are a troll.

              The only reason people don’t instantly block you is so they can warn others about you. Every post has new people going ‘what the fuck is wrong with this guy?’ and familiar users ready to explain. The fact you’re proud that this pattern of detailed condemnation will not fix what’s wrong with you, is what’s wrong with you.

                How am I a troll if I am posting to my own community? The community that you freely CHOSE to come to. And if I were a troll, I could remove your comments and just ban you from the community.

                You’re the one coming to a place you supposedly hate, and saying hateful things. You are the troll in this scenario, not me. You are welcome to leave this community anytime ya want.

                Be mad all you want. I’ll keep posting whatever I think is interesting. Thanks, friend!

      By “unfiltered,” I mean that the news doesn’t have to just lean one way like most of Lemmy communities. Feel free to post anything you want. Or start your own community too.
