Death to America

The consent manufacturers are tired of not getting credit for their hard work, so they wanted a fucking Time piece about how they rig our perceptions without us noticing. Nice.

Also I’m 90% sure this is mostly Bernie/primary rigging to make sure the “right guy” won.

Yeah it’s really unbelievable how they’re not satisfied with how they rigged things to where they won everything, they have to be self-congratulatory about it and expect a pat on the back from the public. They don’t even care how much fucking ammo this might potentially give the right-wing conspiracy CHUDs who genuinely believe the election was rigged against Trump by voter fraud.

It’s like how conservative CHUDs are infuriated that they are hegemonic in terms of political power, but are largely shut out of the cultural mainstream compared to liberals. For liberals, hegemonic cultural influence and finally get a W across the boards in terms of power aren’t enough, they need the public to adore them unconditionally for it all as well no matter how bad the subtext might be.

I’m half-tempted to actually send this article to my CHUD parents who believe the election was fraudulent, but I’m concerned it will do a lot of fucking damage to them.

Dunno, AFAIK they aren’t actually terminally online, they just digest their media exclusively through Fox News and conservative talk radio

I already seen this on my fb feed from a chud friend. If he didn’t find it himself it was digested and regurgitated by the federalist.

They do. This is the whole reason they wrote the article. They literally want right-wing idiots to think the “left” stole the election or at least that the liberals are trying to destroy the right-wing (and not that they actually support it).

That sure was something in Iowa. Bernie’s team waiting around for votes to be counted and all that bullshit, playing by the rules like fools. You know, like every other Iowa primary in the past. Biden had already moved onto the next state: “Later suckers, we probably won or something, onwards! Momentum? We’re just taking it with us lol”

That and the whole WFP leadership debacle where union and worker leadership all split from member votes and assigned themselves a controlling portion of votes. That was wild. How all members voted Bernie, but almost no leaders did.

My abiding memory of it is the fear, even if just for a moment, of the liberal establishment. Especially the media talking heads. Matthews personified it.

The article describes basically a campaign to get poll workers and voters out.

no you see, its my ball, so if i take it away because the game isnt going well, thats not stealing, its fortifying it against the fragility of the system to ensure the fair and competitive spirit of the game remains!

What do you call a well funded Cabal of powerful people in industries and media that directly change rules and laws, steer coverage, and control the flow of information other than the Illuminati?
