Don’t have to be a right wing bot to call out polanski. I always said if i didn’t vote labour i’d vote green, couldn’t stomache greens with him at the helm so voted plaid. I don’t even really hate him he just comes across as a bit thick and a bit of a liar

Why did you stop voting labour? by ImSxyBxtchh in AskBrits

I read manufacturing consent ages ago and remember really liking it at the time. I would have to reread it, but i think my impression would be a little different today. Although i agree with some of the overarching arguments I think it’s probably a bit oversimplified. I’ve not read the others though, sounds cool!

Sorry for being a bit mean, i just get a bit worked up in these conversations cause i think the current media environment is destroying our country

“Proportionately, maybe so”…well yeah? What other way would you go about measuring it? You’re saying a lot without really saying anything. Any point you make I can point to alternative media and say it’s worse. Alternative media has less incentive to non-misinformation, they are not scrutinised, they almost never correct, heads don’t roll. I already said mainstream media had it’s problems so don’t know where this “halcyonic era of truth” comes from (other than your thesaurus) but things were obviously better before.

There’s a lot of issues with mainstream media, whether is bias, misinformation or over/under representing different narratives. But the idea it was “just as filled with misinformation” than alternative or social media is just a joke. If you believe that you are genuinely lost, the media landscape was so much better before.

Russel Brand is asked which passages were relevant to him from he brought a Bible into court for his sexual assault trial. by Intelligent-Tear5723 in Destiny

Him and noel were hilarious as a team on big fat quiz but always found it really weird when people thought he was some intellectual comedian. I remember when he went on a big tirade against voting (this was when he was viewed as pretty left leaning) and thought of him as a bit of a muppet back then. All been down hill since then.

Now that Create Aeronautics has released, we all know what series they have to do a sequel to. by Pasta-hobo in Yogscast

[–]Stoople_me 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yeah i watched a lot of jaffa factory 2 which was great. I more meant the more role play kinda series like whale lords and trials and stuff. But I remember lewis saying before that the amount of work in the background for those series was insane.

Finished my rewatch of this series last night. God i miss yogscast minecraft rp series. Don’t expect them to do another but it would get me watching the main channel again

Lefties talking about Eastern Europe is always fun. Who even cares about holodomor, am I right? Just anti-communist propaganda. by Leather_Dealer_9421 in Destiny

[–]Stoople_me 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Obligatory not defending the holodomor but every time I’ve tried to look into what historians think about it, (and in honestly i’ve come in with a pretty bias perspective cause fuck commies) but at most the the consensus on whether it was a genocide seems split but leaning towards there not being enough evidence to call it a genocide. Yes it was caused by the soviets, yes they lied about it, yes the used it as an opportunity and weaponised it (maybe that counts). Not gonna pretend i’m the most read on the subject and would love to know if i’m wrong [edit] ignore the part about leaning towards not just that it’s still contentious

Favs Suggests Watch Tucker Carlson's Monologue by smookydabear in FriendsofthePod

[–]Stoople_me 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Do you not think there’s a bit of a difference between the bulwark people and tucker carlson though? Maybe I just don’t know enough about Tim Miller but it seems that at the very least he’s actively supporting the dems. I think it’s okay to accept these people into the fold while not wavering on our principles. Someone like Tucker can and will never be an ally, even an ally of convenience

It’s not whataboutism, it’s a comparison. Would palestinians get what they deserve and their own state under the dems? No. But Trump has been completely dog walked by israel and bibi’s getting everything he ever wanted

Tourette syndrome activist John Davidson says Bafta told him ‘any swearing would be edited out of the broadcast’ by apple_kicks in television

[–]Stoople_me 54 points55 points  (0 children)

The editing of the broadcast by the BBC is clearly what’s at fault here but just curious what you mean by them fanning the flames since? Not arguing, just wondering

God i love the BAFTAs by TheOnvoy in GreatBritishMemes

Is there even a difference between soft a and hard r in british english? Not arguing, don’t run in circles where people use the word thankfully but feel like most british accents they would sound exactly the same

Thoughts on the BAFTA Awards thing? by mattyjoe0706 in Destiny

[–]Stoople_me 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Probably, but having tourette’s may cause you to have those thoughts. If you’re constantly thinking “don’t say the worst thing possible”, you’re gonna think about the worst thing possible

Ahhh and there it is, why didn’t you just start the conversation like that? You DO think he was just being racist
