Said it before I'll say it again: it's all they know.

Just like you have to have a language in common with someone to communicate, you also need a common cultural reference to better convey complex ideas.

They can't bring up anything else as an analogy because they are literally ignorant. So they turn to the only thing they know: their netflix queue.

That’s probably the scariest thing about this. Social media and the increasing Netflix/Hulu/Amazon Prime hegemony is helping create entire generations of Moviebobs. If they do learn history, it’s from a documentary (which isn’t bad, but books are a mainstay for a reason). If they learn science, it’s from some popsci tv show or documentary (again, not terrible, but there’s a reason science students rely on books and studies). If people do read these days, it’s only headlines and Tweets that agree with their worldview. It’s truly shameful how much society has changed for the worse in some ways. I’m not against people learning through documentaries and various tv shows, but when that’s all you use, it’s pretty bad.

print has many problems with bias and propaganda too nowadays, even minimizing audiovisual intake soon won't be enough to enable kids to grow up relatively sane

the future won't be pretty

Ultimately, the main culprit of all of this is bad parenting. I really don’t think parents do enough these days to teach their kids to question things. We have too many people that are complacent in whatever they’re told (whether it’s by written or audiovisual media). I also really don’t like the trend of parents forcing kids to parrot their own ideologies so that they can get clout on social media. Just today, Tess Holliday was bragging about how her four year old supports BLM:

Other parents chimed in as well:

No parent should ever have the expectation of their kids aligning with them politically. You can still teach your kids about politics without it being propaganda (such as how the US government operates), but parents like these are solely focused on their kids having the same politics as them (which isn’t fair to kids because kids will do many things to gain approval from their parents).

Hank Hill is trending on twitter. Because someone said Hank would be a Trump supporter and people are saying he wouldn't be one. Who cares. Its a fucking cartoon character. They're not real. This is autistic as fuck. This is an argument I'd expect someone like Chris to make.

Then again, this is pretty apt for these loonies.

The irony is Hank literally embodies this

I guess I was wrong:


Either way this is all pretty dumb since Trump didnt create it, just retweeted it.

I'd say they should neck themselves but Chester already did.

 

[spiritofamermaid]

It's a complete disaster where what any given procedure changes cost based on private insurance vs Medicare vs cash/out of pocket and how the bureaucrats feel that day and if a person fucked up at any point on the paperwork, whether or not there's some freeloaders needing to be paid for, how the hospital admin is feeling...

Just allowing insurance over state lines would do a lot, as well as requiring prices to be listed.

Iirc Trump won against forcing hospitals to show their prices. So if you go to a hospital's website they should show you what something costs.

Now I'm curious as to how copyright law works in regards to remixes. Is it considered transformative and therefore Fair Use? Or are the original artists still entitled to royalties?

Imo this doesn't make any sense. Sure, it's their song but it's a cover. If anything, shouldn't the cover artists have taken it down?
This is completely a "If the left does it, it's okay" kind of thing

I'm not a lawyer, but @AnOminous knows a lot about the law.

From what I know, the songwriters would get royalties from any covers. Wikipedia lists the entire band as the song writers. I don't think the writers nor the publisher of the song can do anything to prevent people from covering your track. I'm pretty sure the band nor the record label take down a cover of their song. Especially since its not sampling any part of the original. LP can Hee and Haw all they want, but Trump supporters are free to cover their songs all they want.

 

[Sekirodiealot]

So Trump used a Linkin Park song in a video he posted a few hours ago. Its gone. The post shows "This media has been disabled in response to a report by the copyright owner." LP is also trending.

Anyone got an archive?

Edit: Trump reposted a video from some guy. They're pissed in the comments.

Yes, there's a photoshop of the Rosenbergs with Trump added. Y'all mad. Comparing Trump to the Rosenbergs is pretty awful, but in these people's mind its an apt comparison.

What's a rosenberg?

a jewish couple who sold national secrets to the USSR in the 50s.

I could see the show having him do the same thing he did with Bush. Something like:
*Sitting in front of the TV*

"I see Donald Trump is running for president. Man is an actor, just like Reagan! I loved him in Home Alone. Good wholesome family entertainment I tell you what."

Tv: "We are coming live in front of Trump Tower"

"And a successful business man too. Something about him just reminds me of Mr. Strickland. They don't make them like that anymore hehe."

TV:"in Trump's home state of New York"

"Wait a second...they almost make it sound like...Trump is a New Yorker!"

Bobby: "Trump is a New Yorker dad. It says right here in this special edition of Entertainment Weekly."

"Donald Trump was born and raised in...New York City? Bwaaaah!"

 

[Ashen One]

If they learn science, it’s from some popsci tv show or documentary (again, not terrible, but there’s a reason science students rely on books and studies).

No, sorry it is terrible. Bill Nye the Sex Junk Guy is what happens when you try to create a popsci tv show in Current Year +5, complete with erasing part of the old show that showed something scientifically accurate but is now problematic. Online doesn't fare much better. "I Fucking Love Science!" gets mocked mercilessly because it's the Buzzfeed of scientific related things. It doesn't care that it consistently gets things wrong as long as it's flashy enough to catch people's attention and get clicks.

Getting people interested in science is a good thing, but I have no faith in any pop science thing created now not getting politicized instantly. These things were supposed to get people interested so they would learn more by themselves, but nowadays people would just not do that second part at all.

Disagree. There are many science documentaries out there that don’t do that. For instance, the docu-series Cosmos is about outer space and helps explain things in ways that normal people could understand (albeit, at a much more basic level). That Bill Nye Saves the World series was panned by most people (especially for that sex junk segment). I have yet to hear anyone say good things about that show (that isn’t from a journalist).

You'd think with decent parenting, these people would learn the Golden Rule. Treat others the way you like to be treated.

Imagine if the shoe was on the other foot for them. Always being invalidated for being X, Y and Z, even if you conform, the goalpost is moved without warning, having a different opinion leaves you vulnerable and scrutinized by the masses.

Racism would be minimized if you'd respect others differences and be held accountable for your actions. Not taking down statues or being sensitive about brands or words that carry no weight.

To be fair, many people on this site always go towards the cliche "Niggers have low IQ, that's why they have 13/50" science trope to justify their racism.

You could say he's a moderate. His dad was highly conservative. His character has touched on immigration, he has a gun safe, he doesn't watch Fox News, he clashes with his son about societal norms for males.

He's something else entirely. He's ... Complicated.
