The way they tell it, you’d think everything from DW, to Fox, to Propublica, to straight up AP News articles, are all written by the same people.

Same type of person. Careerist strivers who all accept the basic liberal version of history and society. The liberal version of history coincides with the reactionary version of history because they both refuse to question the premises of capitalism. That is they both agree more over capitalism and Western Hegemony more than they disagree about specific cultural issues. They don’t all have to be in the same room, coordinating on a narrative because they all share the same boundaries of inquiry. So the same kind of stuff gets written without active coordination. This is a roundabout way to say they’re all of the same class. They have class solidarity.

A liberal news source will talk about how good and downtrodden immigrants are. A conservative news source will talk about how all immigrants are drug dealers. But they don’t disagree that there both needs to be immigration or that it needs to be regulated. A good real world example of this is Democrats flipping out over Trump’s racism and then upping funding for “border security” and advocating for a tech wall. Neither question the fundamental assumptions about immigration. Both advocate for the same idea, just in different abstractions. Nobody actually thinks the person who writes a bleeding heart article gets up from their chair and sits at a different desk where they write about caravans of cartel members. Though you do get the same person/organization drifting into sounding like their opposition, like the NYT. Which illustrates, again, that they’re the same class and ultimately share the same goals and fears.

It’s not a hard code to crack. You just have to be willing to actually question things and be curious. But there’s a lot of resentment in doing that (displayed here) because part of the media is propagandizing poor people and getting them adopt the same goals and fears as the upper classes. The people in government right now spent decades selling off your jobs and livlihood to cheaper areas of the world. Because it benefited them. One of those places was China. Capitalists gave China everything they needed to become what they are. It was fun when sowing. Now, because of problems in the West, China must become a talking point and scapegoat. The rich don’t like them because they’re closing themselves off from foreign investment and they’re not playing ball with our foreign policy. That is they pose a threat to unite with other countries and close off investment as well. If US companies can’t set up shop in Taiwan, for example, that hurts wealthy people in the US. You don’t have that wealth or investment so that argument won’t work on you. Therefore the problem must be abstracted and layered under a bunch of cultural or moral arguments. So you get stories about how the Chinese are all savage bug people who work like robots to overthrow your way of life. They’re violating your liberal ideals of free speech. They’re detaining Muslims so they’re too racist. They don’t like LGTBT people. They ruin your bitcoin gambling. They kill their people by cooking in sewage oil and their buildings fall down.

This is to get you to share opposition to China so that by the time we work ourselves into a War, you won’t really question why your children are fighting in it. They’ll go die so that US companies can keep pumping out resources from those countries and keep the competition out. All the sentiments about honor and duty and security and freedom are a lie.

Having a 2000s Honda Civic is spending about 70% of your mileage running codes for sensors.

If Ukraine isn’t open to Western investors then maybe Taiwan won’t be either. Then South Korea. Then Poland. How will my boss’s boss make a steady 15% on his capital if that happens?

This is an investment in democracy.

I know. They like to spread dangerous misinformation that helps Russia and Trump take over the world. It sucks. I wish we had an instance just for us anti-authoritarians.

Plombir is a type of foreign frozen dairy substance eaten in communist Russia. The government mandated manufacturers of the concoction put certain ingredients in it. The only known ingredients are those in which the Soviet regime admitted to using, but there could be many more we don’t know about. It was also used as a nationalist authoritarian symbol of racism against Ukranians.

X is actually a fourth form of life even though we do not eat it. Elon has created a global consciousness network that is more than the sum of its parts. It has its own intelligence and qualities of life.

This mother fucker spends a week’s pay for me on donuts alone

WAIT A MINUTE THAT’S NOT FROM AN APPROVED SOURCE ON MY MEDIA BIAS INFOGRAPHIC.

MODS MODS PLEASE REMOVE THIS

THESE CLAIMS AREN’T BACKED BY A DNC NGO, THEREFORE IT’S DANGEROUS MISINFORMATION THAT’S HELPING REPUBLICANS WIN.

THOSE ATROCITIES COMMITTED BY THE US WERE NECESSARY TO DEVELOP THE RULES BASED INTERNATIONAL ORDER, I’M SORRY IT HAPPENED BUT WE COULDN’T BE HERE NOW WITHOUT IT.

What a shame, falling at home like that. She could have fallen in front of a bunch of cameras. Instead we didn’t get to see it.

How about “My little arsenal” and it’s a box of free guns for the homeless and poor.

You turdmuffin. You crapwaffle.

What is this, 2007?
