Considering you can make an account like this and say over the top shit and they'll believe it anything goes on a sock account.

RedMercury has made his internet career out of lying.
Maybe I'm the misinformed here but what's the deal with FOX hate? God forbid I "defend" that shithole but I'm not sure where this idea that it's some ultimate source of evil comes from. I know people say "It's the largest news outlet" but from what I've read, that's only true if you're talking about TV channels Americans watch and their average viewer is at least over 60 years old. They are dwarfed by multiple outlets if you expand beyond "Americans who watch TV news".
 
Translation: "We have self hating American Jews on staff and they say Israel is poo-poo."
- Claim to support democracy.

- Call for the shut down of a major news network that doesn't adhere to your political beliefs.

?
Eh, to be fair, in a true democracy the majority would rule the opinion that upsets them is wrong and should be banned. So they got that going for them.

Simple, Fox News is generally conservative, and sites like ResetERA utterly despise anything right-leaning.

Ergo, Fox News is the Devil in their eyes, and they won't calm down until it and anyone watching it gets cast down.

Looks like the cat is out of the bag, Resetera.com officially refuses to provide a space for Jewish gamers.

Quick, downplay! But Hecht, you are okay with that final solution post above?

Also Hecht, there is a theory online that you might be ex-NeoGAF mod Besada? Is this true? ?

Besada had a similar twitter handle, but with GAF in it. Was deleted, then this pops up as Resetera is created


This tweet and the reply



:story:
This is hilarious.

They label people like PewDiePie and everyone else they don't like as 'Nazis' and then all of a sudden the ResetEra community wants a final solution when the topic of Israel is brought up. If horseshoe theory is indeed a thing then this only proves that these speds over at ResetEra are really not that different from their far-right counterparts. The political ideas between those on the far-left and those on the far-right may be different but they both act really autistic in how they see the world as a whole.

I'm no fan of Fox but the vast, vast majority of their viewers watch them to have their opinions reinforced. Fox isn't "radicalizing" anybody, they're preaching to the choir

Objectively, I don't get it either. I don't watch FN or any cable news channel. But from what I have been able to discern from looking into them is that they certainly aren't even close to what the left paints them as. Have they twisted things slightly in the past? Yes, but absolutely nowhere near what the likes of CNN or MSNBC have done to make news fit their narrow narratives. Which just baffles me. Lefties just love to dehumanize FN and their viewers while ignoring the fact that their own news "sources" distort the news far more egregiously on a daily basis.

I'm not even going to get into "but the other side does it more!" since that'll go nowhere and biases are one hell of a drug, I'm just confused on why FOX is viewed as some omnipresent force since I'm fairly certain they're smaller than Google, Washington Post, Huffpo, CNN, etc. who have a much wider online presence and more of an impact on people who aren't already a foot into the grave. I haven't double checked the statistics on it so I'd be happy if someone could tell me if I'm being the idiot here.

Fox gets better ratings and viewers than CNN/MSNBC.

Everything is smaller than Google.

WaPo - take a gander at print newspaper valuations

Huffpo - please

CNN - has been Fox News' main competition forever. More respected, but always valued lower, I believe.

And if you are just talking politically relevant, you should remember that old people vote. This is why the GOP rattles their sabers about reforming Social Security when they don't have the power to do so, and clam the fuck up when they do.

I've recently heard of this autism in response to horseshoe theory

->despite fundamentally opposing beliefs
->thinking that means they don't behave the same to accomplish their goals
->thinking that means they don't behave the same when in power

Is everyone this fucking disingenuous these days? Bullshit dictatorships are bullshit dictatorships. You can gussy it up all you want, but it's the same bullshit.

I call them authoritarian assholes; "left" and "right" don't have much meaning with how watered down the terms are now, and similar with "nazi" and "fascist" where the actual definitions and historical realities are ignored.
 
So, if you're not actively supporting their political beliefs, you're helping the rise of fascism?
This is so blatantly tarded that no joke I could come up with would be funnier than the theory itself.

Note the underlying theory, which is that fascism is so compelling that if you merely allow freedom of speech, and people espouse fascism, it will naturally be so persuasive that people will abandon liberalism and become fascists to the point that fascism will inevitably take over society.

In other words, they believe their ideas are so weak and pathetic that they can't possibly compete against literal fascism in an open marketplace of ideas.

In other words, and this is the ultimate inescapable conclusion of this line of reasoning, fascism is actually right and we have to keep people from learning that.

The original tankies came up with it first.

"Social fascism" is just as dumb a concept as "cultural Marxism." Neither concept has any real meaning outside of the coercive effects of state action.
 
Here's a thread on ResetEra regarding Nicolás Maduro suppressing his opposition as he tries to hang on to his power in Venezuela. Not too many responses through.

To ResetEra's credit, this is probably the only sane response I could find on this thread regarding the shitstorm Venezuela.

Is this individual for real? Dictators are not going to step down and allow freedom back into their country on the count that they don't want to lose their power just because you file a complaint towards them.

I was going to pass this up considering how there's not that many people are talking about this over at ResetEra, but one post was notable enough where I felt the need to post about it here.

I mean sure, there has never been a real life example in the entire history of humanity of socialism working out in the long run and never mind that the flaws of socialism would inevitably lead to Venezuela imploding in the aftermath. But it's somehow the fault of the United States for why Venezuela is burning to the ground while your shitty government that is desperately trying to cling on to power at this point.
