But you are the media in this world. Everybody here is generating media everyday. Traditional media was replaced with Facebook and Twitter and reddit. How many leftist removed themselves from there? Is it any surprise that the whole world seems like it’s using right wing talking points anymore. The left fucked themselves and most still don’t get what has happened here

Anybody still on Facebook

What does président Stephen Miller think about that. Trump isn’t the president

I don’t know honestly. There’s just bigger mountains in my mind. As flawed as Bob is and his wife I appreciate this family and their candid honesty. Bob is vile but I just see him as a broken kid. I want to root for him even though he’ll never change. For everything he says, I think it’s just for show. Bob at his core his a family man. He’s mad at the world like we all are at Trump. I’m not saying not to call his shit out but I’ve heard in a few podcast that they’re getting typical internet bullshit and it’s hard to hear.

Great podcast. For people who don’t listen to it, keep in mind they do love each other. Their conversations do go off the wall.

Bob does love his kids he’s just a broken guy that refuses to give the left any consideration. He’ll say shit just to defend Trump. I doubt he ever would do any of it. But he’s just saying shit too own the libs. If you have MAGA family you’ll know these people do love their kids, they’re just fucked at times.

This podcast is a great listen. Please don’t harass the family, they’re elderly and saying wild shit but they’re still getting out there and having this conversation weekly which is a good bridge to hear their thought process when though it is lacking.

Honestly yes, I love this family. They’re doing something i think is very important. Bob is fucking crazy. But if you have the time give the family therapy episode a listen. It doesn’t excuse his attitude or things he says. What it does show is how broken he is though. He was orphaned as a child and he doesn’t outright admit it but you get the vibe that Bob has trauma from being giving away and the shit he experienced as a kid is stuff no kid should. At one point he says something along the lines where as a child he had to be useful or else his new parents would get rid of him like his mother did. Trauma grows that amygdales. Bob is in constant fight mode so of course he is MAGA.

The thing about it all is that what he says and what he does or would do are different things. I watch the podcast often. They do love each other. Bob is a broken guy and I think they mentally they are in this attitude that they have to defend their side at all costs. It’s really eye opening listening to the podcast. The mom even admits it one time. The son said something reasonable and the mom played devil’s advocate, the son called it out and the mom flat out said she’s doing it because she HAS TO defend her side. That’s the mentality. It’s not about reason or logic, it’s defense and so they can go to absurd places and say whatever as long as they never concede a loss to the leftist kids.

‘Don’t reinvent the wheel’

Wait, this is horrible advice. It’s the opposite of what any successful entity does. The wheel here is a problem that the authoritarians have solved long ago. If you’re not reinventing it then you’re cooked before you even go to the store to buy your markers and bullshit cardboard supplies. They have studied the same old civil protests for decades. They have made laws to prevent protestors from being effective. They have decades of behavioral studies and actionable propaganda that they pull out and dust off every time you even think about sharing one of those ‘no kings’ or ‘general strike’ posts. Any protest you can imagine they have solved. If you don’t reinvent the wheel, you’re going to look fucking stupid when you show up with another 700m people and go home having accomplished nothing except get your leadership and organizers arrested.

That wheel needs to be reinvented. Look at the truck convoy. Hate them all you want but they did something brilliant. It was brilliant because at their top they had people who studied and knew police and authoritarian response and they found solutions to break them. After all, they were the authoritarians. They first drove through the streets across America to build awareness and hype. It’s a fucking parade. People came out and cheered on over passes as they rolled through. Others joined. Then they filled cities with so many vehicles and trucks that the police had no idea how to even responsed. How do police safely weave themselves into that formation to make arrests. Then what do they do with the trucks just sitting there? The truckers made it a street party to prevent police from committing violence. They invited families down to enjoy music and hot tubs while also shutting down major parts of cities everywhere neutralizing police ability to do their job.

The left do not have the same effort at the top. It’s lacking. But they need to figure it out super fast because I promise you if you’re just showing up to the streets with the same old shit then you’ve already lost. That wheel needs to be reinvented quick

Laws specifically targeting disarming leftist

The clownvoy showed up with enough big trucks that the police could not fight out how to handle them. They also invited people to come hang out so police couldn’t just tear gas and beat skulls in. The left are still protesting in ways that they protested 70 years ago. The police and military have literal books and charts to deal with it. Unless these protest evolve, they’re really not doing back shit

Would be incredible to see protest where they show up to any ice presence fully armed. Still act as observes but also to ensure ice doesn’t execute anymore Americans

No, they lasted. I hate this mentality that these women were chained to their man. There was bad ones but so many were great marriages and you saw it in their old age. They all weathered a lot of history together and grew from it

Skiddly woop wopp

I just said the most common sense thing and you don’t like that. In all these stories they should include the chat history. You sound like a MAGA here for a reason. You should explore what causes MAGA to make similar arguments

My point is I don’t buy into any of it unless they release the entire chat history vs sniping snippets

You’re awesome. AI is fun and there’s nothing wrong with using it especially how you did. Lemmy was hit hard with AI hate propaganda. China probably trying to stop it’s growth and development in other countries or some stupid shit like that. But you’re good. Fuck them

I fucking hate lemmy sometimes.

Yea, what about internet user believing a meme in a hate forum

I’m with you on all that except for the part that you’re reacting. Which is a major issue on the left lately. It’s all reaction to things others are proactively doing. The left needs to do all you said while also adapting that prepper and survival mindset. There are no courts or police or military as we knew it. It’s just us and we need each other to be as ready as possible. That hammer is going to drop on us. Trump or ICE or MAGA will not go away until they inflict much more harm. Every panic in the past shows this. It doesn’t end until an event occurs that is so shocking everybody kind of wakes out of a daze. The problem is we’ve had multiple shocks and they get stronger. This means it isn’t just run of the mill momentary crash out. It’s something else. It’s not going to end

Every generation Hollywood has had to have a villain that all heros beat the shit out of or who were the catalyst. 70s it is Russia, then Libya, then Chinese, then Russia again, Arabs and then robots. ICE would be perfect for another generation.
