Hardkill

Wait, but TYT has been a stalwart supporter of the labor movement and unions. Am I missing something?

Yes, but the point I am making is that the mainstream has been given Trump an incredible pass. They are treating this as though it was an ordinary election. The mainstream media is still not doing nearly enough to sound off the alarm on this. They instead devoted so much more time and energy to talk about Biden's age related issues. CNN, NBC, PBS, ABC, CBS, and every other "trusted news source" out there should all really be ashamed of themselves.

Yeah, his brain is really melting and he's looking really moldy. Hopefully, he passes away very soon, which is very plausible given his terrible health and age. I wouldn't be surprised if he died of a heart attack by next year.

It's true! I have to say, as much as I hate this whole war, I gotta hand it to Israel for killing the ultimate villain behind the Oct. 7th attacks. Sinwar was essentially the Osama Bin Laden of Hamas.

When we talk about echo chambers or epistemic bubbles we generally refer to outlets on tv, on the internet, or on social media platforms that distort a person's view of reality by telling us what we want to hear or see, reinforce and amplify our own existing biases, and keep one isolated from diverse perspectives. Though hasn't religion actually been one of the earliest and most enduring forms of echo chambers? Religion often creates a shared identity and community among believers, which can lead to: Group polarization: Believers reinforce and validate each other's views, strengthening their convictions. Social insulation: Religious communities may limit interactions with outsiders, reducing exposure to diverse perspectives. Authority and dogma: Religious teachings and leaders can provide a framework for interpreting the world, potentially discouraging critical evaluation of alternative viewpoints. Yet, modern societies have actually made progress in mitigating the echo chamber effects of religion. So, if 1st world countries have made significant progress in reducing the influence of religious dogma through: The Enlightenment, Scientific advancements Secularism Separation of church and state Urbanization and diversity, Education and literacy, Global connectivity, Interfaith dialogue, Reformation and diversification, Liberal theology Therefore, couldn't we use those same ways to overcome the terrible effects of echo chambers from tv, internet, and social media in the future?

So, what? The laborers will eventually find a way to coalesce together and revolt against a corporate oligarch like him when push comes to shove. Also, most people hate rich people like him these days. I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets frequent death threats in the future. History may not repeat but it does rhyme. Musk is getting very desperate because he knows that he won’t be able to hold on to all of the economic power he has for long.

Even if Trump suppressed labor strikes, I really don’t think it would work in the end. This isn’t the Reagan era or the era of conservative politics like during the 80 to the early 2000s. Most people these days hate big corporations as much as they hate fascism or communism. Labor union sentiment and pro worker power sentiment are at the highest they’ve been since the 60 to 70s. Plus, economic inequality is at about a 40 to 50 decade high. The excessive suppression of labor strikes, especially during these times, will only backfire by causing widespread civil unrest like what happened during The Haymarket Massacre in the Gilded Ages or like what happened during the early 1930s.

I can’t wait until the day the employees in his company finally decide that enough is enough with robber barons like him and cause an untold militant labor strike against him.

What about the skyrocketing antisemitism occurring around the world?

Most of the citizens in every developed country is very much against this now.

Yeah, and now Israel has become as much of a pariah as Russia and North Korea is. I fear that Israel may not even survive as a country anymore because of this war.

I really think that the Jews really should've been given at least half of Germany after WWII as a major form of reparations for them. Looking back, it's very obvious that the Zionists made a terrible mistake by deciding to make their home state in the middle of a fucking primitive region of the world.

But wouldn't they become completely ostracized from the international community and lose all of their allies in the end if this goes on for decades? Also, does this mean that there is no hope for the pro-Palestinian movement to ever succeed? Are all of the pro-Palestinian protestors around the world just wasting their time completely?

So, there's no hope for Israel to evolve as a society for decades, right? Mearsheimer says that the country is essentially doomed. I think the creation of Israel a country was tragically a failed experiment for the Jews.

I've always been a staunch supporter of Israel..... but after watching these videos I feel like I've been deceived by Israel for so long. It's no wonder when I went on that Birthright trip to Israel that I thought that a lot of the people in the country looked attractive and why a lot of them there liked to party a lot. I mean I always knew that they were trying to encourage Jews in America to come live in Israel, but I never really knew before that part of it was for building their military power for oppressing innocent palestinians. However, I know that a lot of secular jews have been leaving Israel. So, I wonder if Israel's military will shrink.

Yeah, Musk kinda ruined it for Trump:

I am not sure how Elon Musk campaigning out there with Trump helps him. Elon Musk can try all he wants to make himself look like a man of people, but at the end of the day, he still gives off that vibe of being an elitist globalist nerd who is so out of touch with everyday people.

Even if Harris become president and the Democrats win back the House and keep the Senate, the Democrats will still continue to arm and fund Israel to the hilt.

The Fairness Doctrine, which was in effect from 1949 to 1987, required broadcasters to present balanced and diverse perspectives on controversial issues. If reenacted for current times, it could significantly impact the media landscape. Here are potential implications: Positive effects: Increased diversity of viewpoints: Media outlets would need to present diverse perspectives, potentially reducing echo chambers and promoting informed discourse. Reduced misinformation: By requiring balanced coverage, the spread of misinformation and conspiracy theories might decrease. Improved public discourse: The doctrine could foster more nuanced and respectful discussions, encouraging critical thinking. Negative effects: Regulatory challenges: Enforcement would require significant resources and potentially infringe on free speech. Determining "balance": Regulators would face difficulties defining and measuring balance, potentially leading to subjective decisions. Potential censorship: Overly broad interpretation could stifle controversial or minority viewpoints. Modern considerations: Digital media: The doctrine would need to address online platforms, social media, and podcasts, which challenge traditional broadcasting regulations. News cycles: The 24-hour news cycle and social media's rapid information dissemination would require adaptable regulations. First Amendment concerns: Any doctrine would need to carefully balance free speech protections with fairness and balance requirements. I firmly believe that something like that would greatly heal the terrible divis in our country, restore functional bipartisan consensus in Congress and the state legislatures, and it would prevent another proto-fascist like Trump from ever rising to power again.

Netanyahu has turned out to be arguably the most incompetent and corrupt Prime Minister in modern Israeli history. All of the Israeli victims who were killed and/or taken as hostages from Hamas happened under his watch. Bibi doesn't really care about his people. He only cares about his own worldview and preserving power.

but how will we ever overcome these current echo chambers?

Yeah, and the GOP has always claimed themselves to be the party of Law and Order since the Nixon presidency. What a joke.

Yeah, well I think it’s very unfair that a lot of women aren’t called out for being creeps or perverts like a lot of men are.

But teenage girls and women in their prime have tons of estrogen. So, then why aren’t they horny as often as men are?

But even if Israel were destroy a nuclear facility in Iran by military force, it still wouldn't stop Iran from building nuclear weapons.
