Current Affairs General US politics (ie, not POTUS related)

[ilikecheese]

i made a serious comment about how media propaganda can direct people into hating someone. Have you read 1984?

You mean like when the media of the right painted Obama the antichrist Muslim who wore a disgraceful tan suit and order Dijon mustard on a hamburger?

Or like when Rush Limbaugh spends 3 hours a day vilifying Democrats as pure evil?

i did ask you a question, but you're so blinded by your righteousness you didn't even see it.

all you've got is calling me a WUM. who's the real WUM? the one who poses thoughtful questions, or the one who calls the questioner bad names?

Oh, I saw the question... it came after your pointed accusations and assumptions.

I have far more than simply addressing your smug nonsense. But feel no need to share with one who is unwilling to address his/her behavior and falls back on petty martyr games.

Play the ball, not the man - but never seems to respond to any of the points brought up. Curious.

Farts a 'you're being mean to Trump' then disappears for another couple of months.

Just did a wee bit of research and found the proliferation of these Orange Man Bad memes largely dates to an October 2018 Infowars contest to create them with the winner receiving $10,000.

and again attacking the man...don't you think those talk show hosts who live off Trump are propaganda? and if not, why are light-entertainers so pre-occupied with the President?

Any points relating to Trump. Not yourself.

Pete's the same.


There's a noticeable, tedious, 'centrist'-shaped hole when you're gone.

I wouldn't have thought so but maybe you need to live here to understand what's going on.

Which man am I attacking, you? Not unless you are the proprietor of Infowars...

You don’t mate. You just have to choose to recognise it.

me and you against the world @peteblue

you're attacking the messenger (in this case Infowars), when you should be attacking the message (in this case that the media have influenced joe public to hate Trump).

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

you're attacking the messenger (in this case Infowars), when you should be attacking the message (in this case that the media have influenced joe public to hate Trump).

Thanks for more of your EXCELLENT (if unsolicited) debating advice. Couple of things though relating to the bolder parts above:

1. Some messengers deserve to be attacked (and before you get on your high horse about “these Liberals advocating violence” I’m using that word in the exact same context you were)
2. Yeah, it was definitely the media. People definitely don’t hate Trump because of his character and his actions both past and present.

But then you’re well aware of all that.

See he’s been quoting pat buchanan in his tweets because he supports the wall despite in the past calling Buchanan a hitler lover , an anti-Semite and a homophobe . Bloody media

Again, playing the man not the ball, in this case you're saying that i actually have the same belief as you but i'm just hiding it for giggles.

What actions has Trump done to deserve such unprecedented hate?
