So are you Dem voters feeling 'special' nowadays . . . or just thoroughly lied to an manipulated?

Over the decades the Political Left redefined education from a knowledge of the classics to swallowing ideology and propaganda as a substitution. This has resulted in a gradual poisoning of general culture and a lowering of practical intelligence while tossing wisdom right out of the window. So it goes.

Totalitarians like them require complete obedience...

We're all brainwashed. 😨😲 Must be all those vaccines I had. Sorry, what's that?

Brb? Just got a call from Bill Gates. Need to attend a meeting.

I'll be back later. The Master has summoned me.

(Yeah, jokes aside (for the sake of yanks who don't get our weird humour), life ain't black and white, dude. I know you're smart enough to know that.)

Lefties aren't all idiots any more than Trump voters are all idiots. You can be smart and still come to completely different conclusions.

Some of my literal best friends have opposite political views to me. And they're geniuses. I still think they're ignorant selfish wankers lol. But I can't just write them off as idiots cos I know they're extremely smart.

LOL . . . yes. They are endlessly lied to. They already KNOW that whatever their fanatically leftist-loyal media outlets tell them about ANY political event or policy is going to be a lie; and yet still they blindly endorse the lie until it gets debunked; and then they immediately memory-hole that they ever endorsed the lie.

I wouldn't trust a single hair on Anderson Cooper's hair to define "white"

Aye, and no one else who's sane would.

I don't trust most politicians tbf. (Does anyone?) I'm mainly just here to say inb4 someone comes up with a sneaky new wordplay nickname between "Dem" and "dementia" to troll the Democrats/lefties. 🤔 (I already have but I'm not gonna say it.)

Dementia is a serious illness though. I'll laugh at almost anything no matter how dark, but I think we have to draw a few lines sometimes. I mean, at least I'm not sure it's productive for people to use Biden's cognitive decline and prostate cancer as a personal attack against him. 🙏

Like, mock him for other stuff, sure. Troll away. Say he's incompetent or sleepy and creepy or his policies or behaviour are terrible and he's a total douche or liar or whatever. Or just point out how maybe he should've stepped down on health grounds earlier given what a huge responsibility being President is. But don't mock the illness itself is all I'm saying, since by extension that would arguably imply mocking all those who suffer with it. And it's one heck of a nasty illness.

By the same token, I don't approve of others mocking Trump for surviving an assassination attempt. That's just not cool. And I'm sure as hell not one of his top fans lol. But the man deserves some basic respect for that at least.

Having said all that, I'd probably still chuckle at any of this *if* it's funny enough as I like warped and absurd humour that pushes the boundaries of decency a bit. But hopefully you get what I mean.

PS The supposed leftwing media bias may be more of a US thing. It sure as hell ain't like that in a lot of other places rn lol. (Majority rw-owned is more common.)

Its like that all over the world: UK, Australia, Sweden, Germany, France, etc...etc...
Heck, in some of those places it's illegal to say something conservative.

Dunno about "illegal". It's not like you'll get arrested if you question the mainstream narrative. We're not a police state... yet.

I mean, I'd be in prison in 5 minutes if we were. So Musk isn't quite accurate. We do actually have some freedom of speech still. (And anyway, he bangs on about freedom of speech but he also censors people he doesn't like so he's a bit of a hypocrite, no offence.

And Twitter is haemorrhaging cash like crazy. What a shame. So hopefully it'll go bankrupt and turn to rubble and he'll lose his 40 billion and take a good hard look at his life. (Imagine what you or any sane human could do with... 40 billion dollars? He spent it on Twitter. You could literally stop millions of people from *dying from starvation* or sth, or find the cure for a deadly disease, or protect swathes of rainforest, or buy millions of mosquito nets and save millions of lives from malaria, or fund projects to help homeless people, or God knows what. The opportunities are endless when you're literally the richest.human.on.earth.

He chose to blow half his fortune on some ridiculous site where people insult each other just to fight against wokeism.

Tl;dr: he had the power to stop people literally dying. And he chose to focus on tweets. That's why he's an arsehole. Imagine you have the power to literally stop someone dying of starvation, or massage your ego cos your ex says you should fight back against woke culture? Tough choice. That's why I say he's a sociopath. He could literally stop people dying. He doesn't. Yes, he pays a lot of taxes. I accept that. But if I was the richest person on earth, things would be a bit different round here, I can tell you that. He's a wanker.

If you look at who owns the media (in places like the UK, anyway), it's like 80% rightwing billionaires who run everything. At least in the UK. Obviously it varies a lot depending on where you are.

I do actually agree that the typical legacy "mainstream" media tends to skew left, and that's annoying and cringe. I agree there.

But most of the news in Europe is actually owned by very rightwing people. Maybe the US is different.

So Europe suffers from the opposite problem. Most of the media skews right.
