OH NICE im actually writing a creepypasta similar to this idiom I shall save this for latter consumptionView attachment 328
Hope this gives you some context. The meme kinda spun off from this post years later? I really don't know the details outside of Know Your Meme.
The meme itself is decent, only better because it actually triggered people. The best part is the reaction it generated on Twitter. The ban wave that erupted there because of this? Really, Silicon Valley. There's an own goal but you didn't have to do a running bicycle kick to do it.
it's less about the TV personalities and more about the average person you see interviewed on the street or argue on Twitter. there is a nasty Conformity streak going through that side of the camp. That's why people say the left eat their own.Honestly, I find that Bioware NPCs have more deep, diverse and interesting personalities than most fox news hosts, so I'm not sure how they decided that liberals were the NPCs. Especially when it's the GOP that has the reputation for lockstep voting and messaging.
Do I have to post the "better Russian than Democrat" guys from the Trump rally? Conformity is literally the entire premise pf the republican party. It's the only way they continue to function at all.it's less about the TV personalities and more about the average person you see interviewed on the street or argue on Twitter. there is a nasty Conformity streak going through that side of the camp.

Except it doesn't. I mean I've never seen people except those two guys they better Russian then Democrat so unless you prove that's some kind of common argument spread across years sure I'll take your point. Check my edit by the way I think you'll like it.Do I have to post the "better Russian than Democrat" guys from the Trump rally? Conformity is literally the entire premise pf the republican party.

There's an entire line of those shirts on Amazon. Obviously someone's buying them.Except it doesn't.

That was just one example. There's others. The extreme shift in "how are you doing economically" right after Trump was elected, the extreme shift in "do you have to be a moral person to be a good leader" right after Trump won the primary, etc... It's even the cliche "democrats fall in love, republicans fall in line"ranked #674,921 in the clothing department.
Sure, some people are buying them. A technically correct answer.
Almost makes you suspicious of the media doesn't it?And yes, Sinclair is significantly worse than fox. Because fox isn't trying to literally force everyone to watch it like Sinclair is with their constant buyouts.
Not actually that extreme, it's mostly just an already-common-among-elites view on the matter is becoming mainstream. The people in power already accepted "No" as the answer, current events have just caused the general public to align with those people who are the leaders.the extreme shift in "do you have to be a moral person to be a good leader"

If it was just 1 youtuber? Then it's just funny. When it's a half dozen? Then there's a trend forming.Also @ScreenXSurfer: you actually trust the youtuber to not edit and select the specific people to prove his point? That's like trusting Ray Comfort when he "proves" that noone can defend evolution by asking random college students but editing out all the ones who can or who call him out on his bullshit.
...There's a graph in that article, showing a sharp rise of about 20%, which is large but actually pretty small in impact (it flipped the 10% bias) in every other listed category other than the "unaffiliated" which were already around 60%. The only group that landed outside that consensus appears to be the White Evangelicals, who are only 12% more likely than pretty much anyone else to hold the view. Oh wait, it's actually a somewhat small majority who hold the view, they are alongside the consensus! Quite literally, it is a generally mainstream view now, according to your statistics. More than the entirety of either full wing of politics is.A change of 42% (30% to 72%) in a single election is not "becoming mainstream" it's falling in line with whatever it takes to support a republican regardless of what ideals were previously professed.
Pictured below, the woke:There there, @Sarcobite . You are the woke, and not a degenerate repeater of basic memes that you were not clever enough to create yourself. You totally are capable of speaking your own thoughts and making preschool-level arguments, you only choose not to. It is all those other people who are the NPCs, you are the original adventurer, and you would have continued if you hadn't have taken an arrow to the knee. You are a special little snowflake, just like all your friends.
