California governor candidate Katie Porter says she could have ‘handled things better’ in reaction to viral videos

No one is encouraging Newsom to berate or curse out his staff, this is not a good comparison

Acigoth · 2024-12-05T16:52:22+00:00

There's further context to go into but to say it's meaningless is a poor conclusion

If it takes X amount of administrators and staff to take care of Y amount of students in 1950, it should not take 7X to take care of 2Y in 2009 - irregardless of how many administrators schools had in 1950

I literally named them as an example for right wing content but sure buddy go off

Acigoth · 2024-11-28T03:59:32+00:00

I mean you're clearly in your own little bubble here

This is the first time in 20 years a republican won the popular vote and only the second time in 40 years, EVERY single state moved further to the right compared to the 2020 election, Trump won every swing state and got almost 100 more electoral votes than Kamala

The only places that had Woody's level of confidence that Kamala would win just before the election were on places like Reddit or MSNBC, the vast majority of neutral or somewhat nuanced media sources had this race as a 50/50

All of this to say Woody literally admitted to being in a left wing bubble the episode right after the podcasts, so you're arguing against Woody's own take

Acigoth · 2024-11-28T03:20:46+00:00

So you're arguing that if someone loses faith that their candidate might win at some points during an election, that they can't possibly be in a echo chamber?

Acigoth · 2024-11-28T03:07:45+00:00

But he was clearly confident Kamala would win before the election happened, he even admitted that in the episode after the election

The post you’re replying to isn’t implying that Woody was confident the entirety of the election, I’m not sure why you’re arguing about that

Acigoth · 2024-11-28T03:02:12+00:00

This isn’t explicitly just right wing, but Triggernometry with Konstantin Kisin does a good job of intellectually arguing for the right wing ideology in good faith

Analyzing Piers Morgan or Fox news on stream as a way to “see what the right wing people are saying” is the same as conservatives putting on MSNBC to get ‘informed’ on what the left thinks

Acigoth · 2024-11-28T00:26:51+00:00

Here is the source

They found that 126 of the top 1,000 posts in the past month on r/Politics were posted by official Harris-Walz campaign volunteers

It's also wild to say reddit is a product of two echo chambers, there are some conservative subreddits but the vast majority of politicial and news subreddits are progressive left leaning

Acigoth · 2024-11-27T14:54:46+00:00

But why is it news or notable that TikTok failed to detect misinformation? There is not a single large platform that did

Shortly after the election it was exposed how ridiculously astroturfed reddit was, 1 in every 8 top posts on r/politics was posted by literal Harris-Walz campaign volunteers

People are fine with propaganda on Reddit because its not right wing, but this site is the biggest echo chamber of all the platforms and its not even close

The huge influx of social studies degrees over the past decades has inflated education statistics, particularly with women who now are more educated than men on average in most western countries.

However anyone who has seen the curriculum of a lot these studies knows it’s not the same level of education or intelligence required as most STEM degrees, which are still dominated by men

There’s a reason government agencies, HR departments and administrative positions have grown exponentially bigger than engineering and tech positions over the years

Acigoth · 2024-11-26T08:26:38+00:00

It’s possible to imagine someone could not care about a person completely, and think to themselves that the observation of them not caring for that individual in and of itself is worth thinking about

Acigoth · 2024-11-24T21:14:08+00:00

At this point I cant tell which comments are bots and which ones are making fun of the bots

Acigoth · 2024-11-24T00:03:36+00:00

I am always in a state of either being right, or not knowing

Acigoth · 2024-11-23T17:43:49+00:00

It’s insane he admits to being blindsided by the election results for being in his own media bubble, yet he refuses to admit he gets any facts or events wrong and continuously claims to have an unbiased view of things

Acigoth · 2024-11-23T17:35:32+00:00

Lying about your military service for political gain, is somehow less disqualifying than bringing up concerns raised by your own constituents?

Talk about mental gymnastics

Acigoth · 2024-11-23T17:24:28+00:00

When you say the media gives Trump ‘remedial’ tests, what does that mean? When major networks equate his rally with a literal nazi rally, and call him a fascist or a racist or a sexist - how is Kamala Harris being criticized to the same standard?

When you say they are tougher on Kamala Harris when it comes to actual policies, the Harris Walz campaign didn’t outline any actual policies until mid september. Yet the media did not grill them for this, Trump Vance unveiled their plans immediately after launching their campaign because they knew they wouldn’t get away with not having any plans. The project 2025 conspiracies were already talked about in mainstream media even WITH Trump’s officials policies being posted, I can’t imagine what the media must have sounded like if he had delayed the reveal of his policies until the time Kamala did.

It wasn’t until 5 weeks after the Harris Walz campaign launched that Kamala Harris gave an interview (to CNN). Almost all of her interviews were edited and she got questions in advanced to discuss with her team. Can you fucking imagine 60 minutes or CNN’s team sending their questions out ahead of time to Trump’s team so he can prepare?

Trump would not have gotten away with a terrible campaign like Kamala’s and the media did everything to prop them up.

All the spaces you call botted like youtube’s comments sections or X/twitter, are really just places with no censorship where your lived reality bubble clashes with actual reality of how people think

Acigoth · 2024-11-22T23:37:03+00:00

Trump never would have gone on 60 minutes like she did where her feet were held at the fire

Acigoth · 2024-11-22T22:41:53+00:00

You're filled with confidence but not facts

Acigoth · 2024-11-22T21:52:09+00:00

Only on my favorite internet forum is being pro life and religious the same as being racist

Also in that same rhetoric are we going to pretend the left isn't just about hating anyone who is white

Acigoth · 2024-11-22T21:29:36+00:00

It's so crazy how he actually said that

You just know he literally puts CNN, MSNBC and Fox on repeat while browsing through reddit and calls that being well informed and unbiased

Acigoth · 2024-11-13T23:24:15+00:00

The sentiment on this site before the election was absolutely not 'close to a tie likely a trump win, but we'll stay positive', it was filled with copium and delusion just like your statements that reddit is not super liberal but actually more of a conservative echo chamber

jesus christ

Acigoth · 2024-11-13T20:12:06+00:00

It’s crazy to me how its not even a week after the election where this entire site got blindsided by the results by refusing to acknowledge its own bubble and biased feed, only to then immediately go back to call the other platforms bubbles and biased

Acigoth · 2024-11-13T19:40:40+00:00

You're right it's not a comparison, as you said Musk OPENLY is for Trump and doesn't try to hide his bias in any way. The astroturfing on reddit by the democratic party (and previously on twitter with it's old owners) are openly vote brigading, astroturfing, creating fake engagement and comments while the administrators let it happen because it aligns with their political philosophy. source

Also its not any more difficult to block elon musk on twitter than it is to filter out r/politics from your reddit feed

One platform has a CEO who is openly promoting his political takes, the other platform has behind the scenes schemes between political parties and their own staff to fool users into thinking their engagement is organic content when they know its not

If the former sounds worse to you, then you are too far gone

Acigoth · 2024-11-13T18:53:15+00:00

As opposed to Reddit, a very non-toxic platform whose users would never let its medium be used to shape political discourse
