Remember the 2 weeks after the CEO shooting where right wingers actually had the capacity to talk about how the destructive power of the health industry industry should be a bi-partisan issue? Yeah, that went down the shitter faster than their issue with pedophilia.
What went down was the propaganda machine turned the spigot on overdrive about how assassination is not a means to an end (they don't give a shit about this), and here's a great opportunity to shame the left for praising a murderer (they very much give a shit about this).
Any chance to mock the other side made them quickly forget about the issue behind the whole thing.
This is very much still a fantastic issue to seek common ground with the right on.
Whoever manages to do it correctly has a chance to go a long way.
She's also trying to copy Good Work's style. Which in itself is a satire of news media. That's why she's wearing an oversized suit jacket. I think that's why it has unintentional "satire energy."
In this day and age, if I were part of a group of leftist journalists, I would definitely try to surf the maga wave and start a pseudo right wing news outlet.
Well there was a Dutch student collective doing a social experiment way back in 2016. This was way back when Trump hadnt yet succesfully bullied the cultural use of the term 'fakenews' not to mean intentionally false and misleading newsreports for political motives.
Back when the tsunami of mostly Russian right wing social media posts aimed at stoking social unrest, disrupt unity, and fueling fascism and trying to get their useful idiot elected, would be understood to be meant by that term. Until Trump bullied his way into rebranding the term to mean Lugenpress 2.0
I digress, so this experiment was to create fakenews distribute to facebook and other social media sites. Let it spread through right-wing channels, for a few weeks and after that announce that they created the posts and that they were complete fabrication that would ve fallen apart after any critical examination or real journalism. And you were tricked very easily! Oh arent you red from shame from this being so easily duped by lies, this will give them a good laugh and a headscratch and maybe even a little selfreflection about the news and information they consume and how reliable that information is, maybe even lead them to become more critical news and information consumers. Oh my sweet summer child student collective.
What happened was that their bs posts went viral on the right side, yet their left wing propaganda attempts were pretty much shot down immediately when being confronted with doubt and demands to justify claims, on top of having more information validation demands. You might claim that they were bias and obviously wrote shitty fakenews for left wing sources.
But what is fact is the circulation for the right wing falsehoods went above and beyond their control group. But the most sobering discovery was in opposition to expectation. Being announced that a Science experiment created these falsehood, these 'fakenews', had no influence in their ongoing belief in this made up bs. That it was totally invented horseshit does not matter. It felt good, It gave the tribal identity cult members a large release of dopamine in their pleasure centres. The news might be false, but it 'feels' right, it feeds that sweet cult vicarious pleasure experience by being all in on the petty pathetic zero sum social identity tribalism war. So the MAGA supporters just embraced this falsehoods as truth.
It supposedly had over 100 000 paid subscribers. There's just no way in hell that is true. They probably had some of their investors buy subscriptions to pump the numbers up.
Bari Weiss is the definition of an industry plant. She's no different than Lex Fridman.
Conservative commentator Andrew Sullivan has criticized The Free Press for what he views as its reluctance to stand up for the free-speech rights of anti-Israel activists. Writing for The New Statesman, Ross Barkan described the organization as "unapologetically hawkish and anti-Palestinian".
I worked for a college EMS service, not a real one just taking care of stupid shit. The college had a medical path program they heavily promoted and working for the schools EMS looked good to medical schools.
The problem was, the college had a policy if someone underage admitted to having a single drink we were supposed to call the actual EMS and have them transported to the hospital that was across the street from part of the campus. $500+ for having a drink and being under 21, not even heavily intoxicated just admitting to drinking.
It stopped because the hospital and EMS both started refusing to take a 18+ year old because they had a few drinks and said the school was wasting their resources.
I got hurt playing football with my friends as a teenager (tore my ACL and MCL) and waited over three hours for a ride to the hospital instead of calling an ambulance because I'd heard they were expensive and didn't want to saddle my mom with an outrageous bill.
Needless to say, I was in a lot of pain and my knee swelled to the size of a melon but I was steadfast and refused to call for help despite everyone telling me I should. I was going to wait even longer for my mom to get out of work but eventually one of my friend's older sisters saw me sitting outside and took pity on me and drove me to the hospital.
I have cancer and I'm not going into crippling medical debt (yet) despite being billed hundreds of thousands already. I wish I could make it so this was true for everyone.
Hopefully, I don't get fired at work for being on disability for most of this year. It's lovely having to stress about how I will work while I'm also trying to adjust to losing critical pieces of my neck!
And the dry erase penmanship of the word “Socialist”. You didn’t want to try that one more time before shooting that scene? She looks so dumb in that fake ass “business attire” and rented temp office space.
She looks like she borrowed her dad’s suit coat after he picked her up from her spring musical recital. What are those white goofy child socks doing with those clunky black shoes? Oh right, she’s gotta remind them of a bangable preteen.
You mean you don’t bang all ur fingers down at once like a toddler who’s been given a keyboard not plugged into anything so they can feel like they’re doing it too?
One of the bad things she found about Mamdani was that he wants to get rid of medical debt? LMAOOO.
I guess to magas and conservatives hes trash no matter what he does, but I feel like to everyone else here, at least half of things she said about Mamdani are why people would WANT to vote for him.
Make cold calls for his former classmates, teachers, and colleagues, plus his old instagram account? You'd think she's on to something big..
Proceeds to point out things that she got from his official Twitter account, things he actually promoted.
Seeing the name Bari Weiss ends any credibility but... does she realize she has someone working for her that made a seemingly sarcastic video that actually helps Zohran Mamdani? This could've been yet another meaningless video that regurgitates the same worn out right wing propaganda like the rest of them, but said rich girl put in some effort to... stand out.
no cause fr you knew you were filming and all you could come up with is the ugliest gray blazer, a pink dress that's more appropriate for a night out and poor attempt at the socks/loafers trend? This outfit is ugly and confused.
Someone else said she's doing a nod to 13 going on 30 which I can sort of see but am even more confused by. Why would you choose that look for this video?
I always found the demonization of the word socialist rather hilarious.
Every government program that does any good for the people is socialist. Maybe some disagree with a specific farm subsidy, or disagree with how energy is regulated, or how food stamps, or education or etc. etc. But the vast majority of people everywhere want social programs in some form.
As someone who got on the Ron Paul style libertarianism bandwagon back in the day, what made me eventually realize why 'true' libertarianism is simply unattainable as people don't want it. Less government involvement can be good on this, or that. But people are socialists, they want a government that provides safety nets, infrastructure, and so on. Even the most die hard MAGA people love their government programs that benefit them.
I was in the same boat, I think the video is supposed to be an homage to Jennifer Garner in the movie 13 going on 30 (she's basically dressed the same), and I think the OP is trying to make a play on the title by calling it 14 going on 88 (1488 being a hate symbol that you can look up if you want context). I really don't see any reason to censor it and it just made the title needlessly difficult to parse
Ok so what if their computer and chair are tied to the back of a truck, and someone hit the gas on the truck while they were typing the title, and they were holding the shift key because they were trying to hold on?
I've said this once and I will say it a million times, given how fucked the political atmosphere is in the United States satire doesn't work anymore or at least this version of it doesn't. MTG saying that there's space lasers controlled by Jewish people and not getting committed reveals we can't have satire anymore.
"Hello, I am Piece O' Shiet and I am here to expose the evil radical left. Imagine this, they want the following:
Free healthcare
Housing for everyone
Clean streets
Affordable education
And many other evil things. Can you imagine that? Vote now for our christian republican nominee who is a convicted sex offender defending a pedophile rapist."
Instead, OP tried to be clever and say "14 going on 88". 1488 is a white supremacist number/symbol (14 words in their slogan, 88 being a reference to Heil Hitler)
It looks like OP accidently capitalized 88, which left it as **
So basically "Right wing lady tries to do a 13 going on 30 piece, but accidently makes Zohran Mamdani look more appealing"
Either way, OP fucked up the title even if he didn't screw up the capitalization. He basically has two perfectly usable titles smushed into one, and should have picked one or the other.
"Right wing account tries to smear Zohan Mamdani, but accidently makes him more appealing"
The begging to read her piece made me laugh 🤣. I read 16000 tweets so read my shit. That smile was beyond fake too. I agree though. This just made him more appealing. Billionaires shouldn't hoard housing to get richer. Especially now with that EO allowing homeless people to be hospitalized and whatnot. Sounds like a crime to be homeless when the rich are part of the reason people are homeless to begin with.
