These are the only political channels I subject myself to without needing a bucket nearby. Anything that is too mainstream tends to be right wing grift or woke propaganda. Edit: I'm not claiming these are completely unbiased by the way, but each is either slightly to the right or to the left, but they are watchable. -
I accepted the job.

Woke clown promotes woke clowns religion. I don't think he's intentional or malicious. But he's absurdly biased. -
A poem I wrote 3 years ago. Omnipotence Her Majesty is so pretty Her lilac dress dances in the breeze Her smile has such humility In her presence I am always at ease What a heart of compassion and consideration! The most powerful in our nation! Her words of wisdom are her vocation! People should not assume That the queen's nature ends here She has a great power, from the moon Just by looking into your eyes, she summons fear The irises bleed red Her soul seems dead You wish you had fled Time freezes when this occurs Not much to do besides to obey For in this state everything blurs Our free will starts to decay It is irrational, it is too surreal We can't do anything but beg and kneel No point in reasoning, this is all very real I don't want to relive this, the trauma is horrible So I binge her with a lot of adulation Lest I provoke her will, which is deplorable I must avoid Her Majesty's damnation This is how I live, with the obvious lie Obey her every command, never ask why If you want to survive, you must always comply Loyalty is all she requests, wish granted I say out loud her grace has no finitude I convey trust and pretend I'm enchanted It's better to maintain her in a very good mood.

So update. The good news: The company contacted me again, insisting they want me in their team. So they decided to schedule another meeting to persuade me again into joining the company. I will have that meeting tomorrow, online. I also have other companies interested in my work experience, although no job offers yet. Still recruitment processes in initial stages. The bad: One of the bad news is this job for some reason instead of having a 40 hour week schedule, it has a 45 hour week. This is something that I find concerning. Considering at 6 pm I already feel tired and can't be productive, I don't know if I will handle/tolerate working until 7 pm. My health (physical, mental) is kind of shit. I'm still very irritable and annoyed. Physically, I feel tired all the time. I struggle to focus for even small and easy tasks. My appetite has changed as well. I feel hungry and craving high caloric foods. It's gotten to the point I can't even hide how I've been feeling. My manager sometimes asks how I'm doing. I struggle to make eye contact. People ask me questions and I take a while to respond. And sometimes I give incoherent responses. I've also been making small, trivial mistakes, like dropping things, spilling glasses of water/juice. I've been clumsier than normal. Due to this stress, poor mental health, and lack of time, I've been neglecting my life purpose.

"I'm not a yuge believer in the global warming phenomenon." HAHAHAHAHA After so many hours of Trump content I've seen, his stupidity never ceases to make me laugh. I don't even think this is one of his cons. I think he truly is stupid enough not to believe it. Edit: "Ya know I'm a yuge fan of your mother." Wow. This one caught me off guard. President of America, folks. President of America. -

I just shared 4 videos of Pakman defending and promoting cancel culture. As woke as Leo is, and even most people are in this forum, even they agree cancel culture is unfair and toxic. Cancel culture is one of the core tenets of Wokeness. And you still insist Pakman isn't woke. If you don't think promoting cancel culture is woke, then I don't know what on earth you qualify as woke. -
SwiftQuill replied to PurpleTree's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. According to Pakman himself, anyone who is cancelled by the Left, deserves it by default. So I guess he's ok with it. Surely this doesn't demonstrate hypocrisy on his part. "The right wing lie" because 100% of cancellations were 100% fair and justified. Absolutely 0 left wing bias here, nope. And you guys still insist this clown isn't a wokie? And yes. To me, this is woke in the same sense that a MAGA supporter is right wing. Yes. -
SwiftQuill replied to PurpleTree's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
I'm not changing the definition of woke. These people are indeed wokies. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't think every single left leaning individual is a wokie. I myself am quite left leaning. I took the political compass quiz recently, and I scored at the center of the socialist libertarian quadrant. I don't mean every single individual who is a leftist is necessarily a wokie. But that does apply to figures like Pakman and Destiny, who live off politics. They can't risk introducing any nuance into their videos because they risk pushing away the far left audience. And they themselves can't risk changing their political identities due to ego reasons. I make a huge distinction between individuals who are left wing, and public figures, celebrities, and political content creators who are left wing. Huge difference. -

He should delete his channel. The real irony is that he is being cancelled for something I don't think he deserves to be cancelled for. But that's what you get for joining that toxic religion and not exposing its corruption earlier. -
SwiftQuill replied to PurpleTree's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
No such thing as Left wing without wokeness. Leftism is the Marketing. It sells inclusivity, equality, fairness, progress, tolerance, compassion. Wokeness is the real product. It's divisive. It's hateful. It's myopic. It's reverse racist. It's reverse sexist. It's censorship. And it's complete intolerance to anything outside the religion's tenets. -
SwiftQuill replied to PurpleTree's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
Yes, they are. They are wokies, that's their religion. They are the worst type of woke. The type of woke that portrays himself as neutral, scientific, and "a bit left leaning". They aren't loud as other wokies. You might like them. You might agree with their positions on things. But you must admit they are wokies. To say that Pakman and Destiny aren't woke would be like me saying Matt Walsh isn't right wing. And people have demanded evidence from me of instances of these people being woke. Which is hard to do for 2 reasons: 1- EVERYTHING they do and say, and ALL of their content is woke. We're swimming in an ocean of liquid shit, and you ask me evidence of the shit. 2- I don't have a bucket near me. If you want me to watch an entire Pakman video, listen to his propaganda, write down his argument, summarize his argument, write down my argument and present further evidence and documentation and links that he's wrong or heavily biased, I need a bucket near me to puke as I'm doing that. -
I think education is essential. But we must use the information we obtain, otherwise we forget it. Here's what I think on this topic: Go back and revise the essentials. Revise what is electromagnetism. What are the different types of chemical reactions. A description of the periodic table. The names of the planets. Revise the essentials of history (first world war, second world war, cold war, other wars). The essentials of maths (equations). The basics of geography (the main countries, the main cities, the main languages people speak). Don't bother studying with 100% depth. Don't bother studying all the electromagnetism equations and formulas. Those things are the ones you will definitely lose from your head since you won't use them on a daily basis. Also, education is important, but it's important to study what's relevant to you. Should you really go back and study history and literature? Or should you start fresh by studying Finance, or Web Dev, or something more practical? Or maybe, instead of studying subjects you've already covered in the past, perhaps study something new. Like sociology. Or philosophy. Or psychology. Or zoology. Also, will you have the motivation to do this in the first place? I happen to have gathered some old science and politics books. I planned on studying them. Because I wanted to revise chemistry (I forgot 100% of this subject) and I wanted to study politics (the official definitions of terms, the historical stuff, etc). Turns out, I can't muster motivation to study anything that isn't practical or fun. I study psych every now and then, only because it's fun. And I study business subjects like Marketing because I plan on starting a side business in the future. If you like Psychology I HIGHLY recommend this series by the way:

When I say " it's fine if you only watch x" I don't mean you in particular. I mean whoever. These aren't assumptions. This is a perfect description of the likes of Pakman and Destiny and their woke ilk. I don't know what you mean by political pundits. In terms of individuals, I watch a youtuber called Gonçalo Sousa. He reports and commentates Portuguese news. He identifies as right wing but in my opinion he's pretty unbiased for the most part. 99% of YouTube politics channels are complete garbage. Either right wing grifters or left wing insufferable wokies. I don't know any channel besides Gonçalo Sousa that is even remotely watchable. As for news media, I watch Portuguese news channels. They are a bit biased to the left but overall ok. And lastly, saying that there is subjectivity when determining if someone is being biased, and calling someone biased, that's not a contradiction. I think it's a mix of factors to analyse, and it's hard to be 100% sure and scientific when assessing bias. This is not an oxymoron nor self refuting. -

I get frustrated when people misconstrue me even after I have corrected their errors and made myself clear. I did not say or imply that the right is unbiased. It's fine if you watch content creators who refuse to address immigration issues, crime, misapplication of LGBTQ rights, misapplication of dei/affirmative action quotas, anti hate speech laws, cancel culture, hate men, hate white people, hate western society, hate their own ancestors, hate the middle class, and hate anyone who is to the right of Stalin in the political spectrum. It's fine if you choose to only watch content with headlines like "white cop kills black man" and "neonazis protest against mass immigration". There's no objective measure to qualify bias. But to me these 2 individuals - Destiny and Pakman are extremely biased. Their pride and their careers depend on them being biased. -
SwiftQuill replied to PurpleTree's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
Why are you pulling that card again? First of all, I'm not right wing. I don't defend the right wing. I never said the right wing is any better on this topic. Second, I said Destiny and Pakman are very biased. That is my opinion. It's fine if you disagree. I personally perceive a lot of bias in their content. Third, I pointed out earlier that the "but the right wing is worse!" card is a mere deflection from criticism addressed to the Left. That does nothing to your case. The right wing might be a thousand times more dishonest and biased than the left. That doesn't in any way free the left from criticism. How many times do I have to point this out in this forum? -
SwiftQuill replied to PurpleTree's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
I'm not going to watch. Only because I'm tired of politics tbh. I'm done engaging with these retarded wars of left vs right. I actively go out of my way to avoid watching political content. -
SwiftQuill replied to PurpleTree's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
Closed minded biased leftists fail to perceive closed mindedness and bias from the left. They must protect their religion with tooth and nail. -
SwiftQuill replied to PurpleTree's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
It's not about agreeing with everything. I don't agree with everything Jordan Peterson says but I watch him. But if I've seen only two videos from Nick Fuentes and I immediately identified him as a horrible source of information, and a promoter of dangerous ideas, I don't need to watch him for a week straight before making this judgement. As for Pakman, I think he is authentic. Same with Destiny. Two authentically woke, closed minded clowns. The hosts of The View are also authentic. Being authentic is an insufficient criterion to be worth being listened to. -
SwiftQuill replied to PurpleTree's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
You can't be serious. Nick Fuentes, the incel Nazi holocaust deniar? And when I use these terms, I'm serious. I don't overuse these terms as wokies like to do. Within the same post, you defend both Destiny the woke cuck, and Nick Fuentes the neonazi? It truly shocks me. And no I don't call him a Nazi because everyone calls him a nazi. I've seen actual videos from him saying he agrees with Hitler and that it's "ok" to wear a Hitler t-shirt. And a video of him doing gymnastics denying the holocaust. -

@PurpleTree I get my news from Portuguese media. RTP, Sic, CNN Portugal. I find them a bit biased to the left. Every once in a while they do the "white cop kills black man" thing. But I'd say they are legit for the most part. I'm glad it's not like in the US where they do race baiting and pull retarded cards like that all the time. The news here are for the most part watchable and accurate. And there's no right wing equivalent to Fox News here. Which is why whenever I watch American CNN or MSNBC it's so obvious to me those media are ridiculously biased to the left. Downright woke propaganda. -
SwiftQuill replied to PurpleTree's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
I don't know man. I personally think journalists should be allowed to express their opinions on things. But I understand the risk of being too tolerant to the point you get someone on tv justifying genocide or defending a tyrant like Putin. I wouldn't know how to draw that line. @Leo Gura @The Crocodile The fact you guys keep insisting on framing everything in terms of left vs right, and that you use "but the right does it worse!" as an excuse to dismiss any criticism directed at the left, that is a huge bias. That is prevalent in this forum. I don't see why you even bother debating politics if you are unwilling to concede on problems in the left. "Reality is left wing!" Preposterous. Tsk. I can't believe I've been baited into this thread. My intention was just to drop that meme in the beginning and leave. -
SwiftQuill replied to PurpleTree's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
"oUr nOn wHiTe hOsTs aRe lOsInG ThEiR ShOwS!" God. The racism and victimhood of the left are so prevalent and obnoxious. Everything is about race, gender, sexuality. It's difficult to strawman them at this point. You hear them speak ONE sentence and it's filled with woke garbage. How on earth do people watch this shit? Then go whine you are losing the middle ground audience to alternative media and that men are turning to the right and all of that shit. -

In the definition of bias, ChatGPT gave the exact examples I've been giving throughout this thread. It's fine if you disagree with this definition. Or if you prefer to use another term instead. But my definition isn't controversial, and the examples I gave do qualify as bias according to this definition. And everything I've said in this thread and all the examples I gave are also included here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_bias I fail to see how my take on anything here has been biased. -
SwiftQuill replied to PurpleTree's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
Well I don't know what to say then. I guess my definition of bias is more encompassing than yours. - ChatGPT seems to agree with my usage of the word.
