The ugly truth behind journalist: broke English majors are guzzling resources at planet-eating rates
By age of 21 most journalist have produced 336 metric tons of Co2 and and 20 000 lbs of waste just to produce stacks of advertorials, mild propaganda and personal vendettas leaving a trail of blog posts across multiple servers.

I think there is more going on then that. Wouldn’t you?
If I go ask ten people what they think about any wedge issue, majority of them will give right wing talking points even if they don’t lean right.
They’re winning and being ignorant to it doesn’t help any. I still see assholes on my overpass on weekends rotating topics like carbon taxes, vaccines, bill gates, WHO and so on. The supporting honks they get is soul crushing.
Can you explain what spewing mostly fabricated, irrelevant nonsense has to do with being dominate socially or politically? Cause I would argue it’s more of an obstacle to dominating in these areas.
Yup and how much was the electoral process and democracy damaged?
We’re debating right now what happens if a president is in prison.
Joe Biden won. But how confident are you that he’s holding for the next ten years? Plus who owns the courts right now for the next couple decades. Ground is lost everyday. Just wait for an economic downturn.
sure, diaper Donny is an absolute turd. But a turd who somehow has built a base that has more energy and commitment than anything in any other political group. They stormed the capital when he lost. They have hobbled elections and democracy for at least the next couple elections. And that’s only because Donny is such an idiot. You’re looking at this the wrong way. Donny as you would say is an absolute moron and shits the bed. But the left still lost and is only going to win the next election because Biden has been ok as a president. If Trump wasn’t an idiot, America could be in a much different place right now. And really, it kind of is in a much different place since the democrats lost the courts for a possible a couple decades.
Thank you for understanding. I feel like I’m going insane seeing this and doesn’t seem others are grasping this stuff. Sadly I don’t think trump is dump either but I feel like it has to be said here just so I don’t have to also go into explaining that. The right is smart where the left is not. The right wing seems to grasp social game more. Trump knows how to make politics entertaining to average guys
And where is the morality in letting a political party without morals gain power. When was the last time that Clark Kent was a relevant archetype. The antihero is king now. But also is it real morals when there isn’t really any rules beyond social norms. All of them are corrupt regardless. I wouldn’t call some of the Democrats moral actors. They just attempt to act more as adults.
They have the vast majority of the money and with it a greater loudspeaker.
But the left also has money but why has the right used it to secure so many public areas. Like all their civil actions had so much funding. I remember individuals donating millions to the clownvoy. Charlie Kirk is successful becoming a millionaire as a college drop out who opened a political shit throwing business and introducing youth on campuses around the country to people like Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson. What was the left doing?
Selling fear and rage porn and lies and half-truths will always be easier than conveying the complexity and nuance of truth and reality.
Sure, but again who gives two shits about truths and reality. We all went nuts for Plato’s allegory of the cave for a few months a while ago for a reason. Truths don’t matter, but truth does. The Republicans win because they understand this. And as I get older I think this idea that the left hobbles themselves because they’re focused on being moral and truth seekers is more of an excuse for not being as effective as they should be.
Don’t be rude. Acting as if you’re more enlightened can be a defense mechanism. People aren’t stupid because they lean right on issues. Most people on the right are business owners and have figured enough out in life to become fairly successful.
You have confused your friends with a random sample of the population
Reread what you’re implying vs who I said I would ask and think about who is confused about a random sample. It seems you are under the impression I’m asking people I hang out with when that was never said.
If I go ask ten people what they think about any wedge issue, majority of them will give right wing talking points even if they don’t lean right.
Wow another left wing group whose sole intent is to faction off into smaller sub groups and make them as toxic and hostile as possible to others. Seems like whatever it is that’s trying to bring down society has set its sights on these communities. I think a lot of people believed it was only the right how ate this stuff up. Shit is spreading faster and faster.
Same stuff happened with the right prior to the last election. People would ignore these thinking it was silly foolishness and next thing you know these groups grew to something else . People who get into these groups always have more free time and less common sense then the rest and end up becoming the dominate voice across many platforms.
I have had a theory for a long time that this just makes me believe it more. My theory is that so much viral shit we see online is not organic. It’s all cooked up by rooms full of twenty something ad agencies and how do you measure effect on viral campaigns? You need a way to search reach and what better way than making up dumb new words that nobody ever uses so you can query it later on. Watch in an election year and count all the new words used and ask if they’re vague or if they’re words that can be used to measure reach
