Right-Wing Media 180

[Leo Gura]

Now the thing to watch is an immediate 180 degree shift as the entire right-wing media ecosystem moves to demonize and condemn Biden and The Presidency. Notice how they will shift tone.

[vibv]

@Leo Gura In what way would that be a 180 shift compared to the last few weeks?

[snowyowl]

But it's just a mirror image of how the liberal media is reacting. Each side is upping their own flagship and downing the opposition. No change there.

Reminded me of this meme.

There will be a big shift.

From: "Respect the President and America. America is doing great."

To: No respect for the President and America. America is ruined and dying and Biden killed it.

That’s not a change in right-wing media, that’s a change in who occupies the White House. Their message is consistently biased to the right.

Might as well be, because that's exactly how they will act.

Weird how this doesn't seem like wildly exaggerated satire anymore compared to how Right Wing media operates these days.

Already noticing it, my parents watch FOX News, and I've already noticed the demonization and the Socialism smear.

"Socialism, in general, has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it." - Thomas Sowell

"Much of the social history of the Western world, over the past three decades, has been a history of replacing what worked with what sounded good." - Thomas Sowell

My theory on "why are people craving Socialism" is the following: those who can't take care of themselves will always rely on someone else's money. They might be having a mental health issue, health problems, or be physically incapacitated.

I believe in Socialism only if you're not able to work, in the sense that you're in a wheelchair or fighting a deadly disease. You get what I'm saying.

On the other hand, if you're truly capable of changing yourself to be able to work, you shouldn't be qualified to receive money from the government.

You might be an old man, over 70 years old. I'm in favor of pensions. Other than that, don't give healthy people money; it will be their most powerful addiction. It will make them lazy and unproductive.

It's addictive to get a government check, or better said, the money you haven't earned.

It's not that important but I'll say it. Before embarking on the self-actualization journey, I remember having not only mental health issues but physical health problems as well. I didn't have enough energy for life's daily tasks. Just to brush my teeth or wash my dishes seemed an impossibility, compared to an effort like having to climb the Everest mountain.

I was so discouraged, telling myself often: "You're a disgusting human being. You're not capable of anything. Why is it that so many people are in shape while you can't even give up on sugar?" I hated myself.

I wanted to get support (correctly) from the government because I wasn't able to deal with the challenges of daily life. I believed in Socialism. And all of that because of my problematic childhood. I grew up in an environment with a depressed, emotionally distant, cold mother in combination with an alcoholic, extremely violent father. Imagine what I was going through as a child. I grew up being moderately depressed without even knowing it. It's ironic, isn't it?

After studying @Leo Gura's work (I'm grateful to Leo) and implementing a daily meditation habit, I got temporarily worse. It was a painful purification process. But eventually, I overcame my depression and I started to eat healthier, increasing my energy levels substantially.

Now I'm better than ever, having a great job, being present, diligent, and productive.

I'm no longer in favor of Socialism because I know what it does to people. I know the impact Socialism has on their lives. It's no joke!

People should be liberated through self-actualization, as a government check will make their situation worse and perpetuate their own problems. A government check can stifle your development as a human being.

I'm glad I didn't take money from the government.

To add a few lines here.

@The Don What exactly is your definition of socialism?

[snowyowl]

I can just about see Bernie Sanders as socialist, but Joe Biden is liberal isn't he? In my part of the  world that means centrist. There's a lot of exaggeration in the media.

@snowyowl That's right. You should check out Renegade Cut's latest video. It talks about this very issue:

American conservatives are quick to call anyone slightly left of center a socialist. And what's really comical is that they almost never know the actual meaning of socialism.

To be honest I have no problem in getting a government check, although I don't get any government checks in a third world country hahaha. 

But even if I did, I would use it to invest in self development programs and premium self development that I usually can't afford. 

To work ( and develop yourself) or not to work is up to you. 

For example if someone told me to work for money, I would actually be upset rather than motivated no matter even if the paycheck was huge 

 

But if someone told me to work for free and it's something I love to do and I can see my passion in it, I would put hours and hours of free work into it. 

Work is not the problem. It's association with money is the problem

You know what I mean?

@Preety_India What's wrong with money? It's just the universal currency you can barter for resources that you need. Without money we'd be stuck in a bartering system which is a huge very inefficient hustle

@Hello from Russia I'm sorry but I look at money as evil. That's just my opinion though.
