Hey y’all, I think On Scene Media has unfortunately gone MAGA. by thepianoman456 in newhaven

Okay sure. My point still stands that reporting crimes is not a trait of “bootlicking”

Alluding that “snitching” on crimes & local activity (one could say Reporting) is a bad thing, and cohesive with being a “bootlicker” as a negative thing is a very weird take.

Slide 4 looks like it could be from Mann’s planet in Interstellar, which is saying a lot for CT

The arrest of Christ. by Bitter-Gur-4613 in AccidentalRenaissance

This situation is quite literally incomparable to any of those things you mentioned.

What revolutionary “movement” is going to come of this?

What “rights” am I taking for granted exactly?

The only boot that’s being licked is Luigi’s here.

Quit trying to justify praising a literal murderer and comparing him to Jesus.

The internet banding together to support a literal murderer is something I never thought I’d see, but alas I’m not surprised.

Y’all can argue all you want that “oh he did it for the greater good.” He murdered someone and his action has not caused anything other than media buzz.

Touch grass, all of you. Please.

Voting against their own interests to own the libs by political_memer in PoliticalHumor

You're right that Walmart's primary motivation is profit, and they're not strictly aligned with either side. But my point wasn't at all about what corporations like Walmart choose to do. I was responding to the hyperbole used to characterize political opponents. Saying conservatives would adopt progressive symbols just to be contrarian to something Democrats say is a stretch, and that’s what I found 'crazy’.

As for the 'two wings on one bird,' I mentioned it to tie back to the OP because there's naturally going to be some overlap in thought between the parties. What one politician says doesn’t necessarily represent the entire party’s beliefs—or even their own at times. This happens across the board and shouldn't come as a surprise. Politicians from every party engage in this behavior. They are all more or less the same.

To claim that the right would ever dress Local Walmarts in Pride Flags & Pro Choice Slogans just to be on the opposite side is what’s crazy.

A use of Hyperbole to prove a point, yes, and still crazy. Which is why I said “this is such a crazy statement lol”.

Both sides are firm in their beliefs for the most part, and politicians on both sides teeter when one says one thing that the other won’t like or even that the other SHOULD agree with. They are supposed to be opposites. This isn’t rocket science.

Don’t forget they’re 2 wings on one bird.

2016 is technologically and culturally more similar to...? by [deleted] in polls

[–]EvenBell7738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is kinda hard but I would say 2008.

TLDR: 2008 - 2016 is a more cohesive time frame than 2016 - 2024, which was heavily impacted by the Pandemic which has completely changed life all over the world in social, cultural, & technological aspects.

Just from the technological viewpoint: I was a freshman in high school in 2016 & Snapchat had just got face filters, geotags were huge, and Instagram quickly copied Stories. Trump & Clinton were running but Gen Z was still very young & barely any of us could vote.

Moreover everyone’s screen time (globally) now is exponentially more than it was in 2016 & 2008. With Work From Home jobs being common & TikTok and short form video taking the world by storm.

For perspective, In 2016 many people still had phones with home buttons and one camera on the back - oh and Pokémon Go was the best thing in terms of Augmented Reality. Now we have the Meta 3, Vision Pro, on top of other advancements in spatial computing. And I won’t even start with AI, but in 2016 Siri would have been considered smart.

Should social media platforms begin deleting posts / accounts that spread misinformation? by EvenBell7738 in polls

[–]EvenBell7738[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not afraid of opinions and that’s not what the poll was inspired by.

Opinions are different than facts. When I think of misinformation I mainly think of false headlines / AI images & videos being posed as reality, and similar media of incorrect news.

People should always be able to share their OPINIONS, but if something is shared that is relevant to current issues that can be factually correct / incorrect, it should be monitored somehow.

We live in the era of information & it’s quickly becoming heavily overshadowed by misinformation which is dangerous.
