It’s both. But the techniques Charlie used were excellent. Debate should be done in good faith. He wasn’t debating in good faith. But the skills he had to still do what he did was phenomenal. I have no issue with his ability to use debate strategies. We could all learn something from watching him.

It didn’t. We always had easy access to porn. Sounds like if anything kids today are having less hook ups and generally are more respectful of each other.

Right, the peeping Tom was a monster. The Doctor trying to advance Science was not
- Comment on Oh Jesus he is cooked 2 days ago:
I think his debates were actually very well done. It’s just that debates are not a good format to find truth. Charlie was one of the best at debates. Saying all that, we all should be better at being on other platforms and sniping these clips to highlight the hypocrisy and bullshit. I’m absolutely convinced that right wing groups convinced all of us to abandon all other social media so they can spread their ideas easier

I guess telling people vaccines cause autism can be an opinion since it’s not based on facts.
Another fact is that there is a difference between spreading medical misinformation during a pandemic and opinions.
- Comment on Oh Jesus he is cooked 3 days ago:
Yea I just watched the whole thing. One of my favorite things I’ve heard recently is people arguing if Charlie was a good debater or not. One person just said “did he ever once change his mind?” There’s one a decade. Charlie was not debating. What pisses me off though is how little material there is for times like this to repost. Sure there’s content but everybody on the left checks out and doesn’t bother to archive anything worthwhile.
- Comment on Oh Jesus he is cooked 3 days ago:
So what is the response? I feel like these clips are great. But if he makes a great point after, isn’t it setting a trap where you share this and the response is his rebuttal which could be good or bad

Sure bud. It’s all made up by the rich. It’s all fake news you get to tune out and click on cat pictures all day.

No, I didn’t get on the Internet for those things. They came to the Internet because it’s the easiest way for ideas to spread.
You can say you’re above it all, but you can’t really avoid it. Maybe twenty years ago, when things were quieter, that might have worked. But not today. I honestly can’t understand how anyone thinks they can escape politics online by just running to different corners of the Internet.
People aren’t going to get bored and just leave. That’s not how it works anymore. The only thing that slows the spread of ideas is resistance and right now, because so many people checked out, that resistance is weak. And in that vacuum, things have grown worse: women lost abortion rights, the right is close to branding the left as terrorists, budgets for prisons, police, and the military keep going up, and those forces are being used against cities that oppose them. They’ve taken over nearly all social media, shaping what your friends and family see every day.
Thinking they’ll get tired of all that power and influence and just walk away isn’t realistic. And acting indifferent only makes it easier for them to keep winning ground.

You removed yourself from Facebook and don’t see the issue?
- Comment on 2025 Right Wing free speech cancel spree 4 days ago:
I am salty though. I’m so tired of all you people acting like you’ll punch a Nazi without doing any work because it gives you all the ick.
The left are lazy. The older I get the more this becomes apparent. That just makes me angry. They have turned into essentially worms hiding in dirt. Then they ask why is everyone so crazy and why don’t people see things the way they see things. You’re not going to punch any Nazis. You’re not fighters. The left are spineless Boogie worms who don’t want to get dirty.

You know what. This is why they have such a strangle hold on public opinion. This is what most people are out there saying he’s such a great person and good Christian.
Facebook? No thanks.
You win buddy.

Wait does imply that other encryption is broken since what would it matter if you used encryption greater than something the government allowed you to

They’re going to reframe this and because everybody left social media spaces they will succeed
- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 2 weeks ago:
But if you’re advocating for changing the system there is nothing hypocritical about owning it since your impact is a drop in the bucket. In order to make changes you need power and power comes from wealth.

Good point about Canada. They flipped. Meaning the conservatives were in the lead by a lot. The only thing that stopped them was Trump fucking up. This is the same almost everywhere. The Lefts victory’s have not been because of their policy or engagement with the people. The left has been winning only when the right fuck up. Any other time the right has captured dominant positions in many key areas. Vice versa, the left are hobbling themselves at every turn while slowly dismantling themselves. I have no doubt Lemmy is targeted and manipulated by groups looking to convince the left to eat itself.

I didn’t realize abortion was left/right thing why do these people make it so political
- Comment on Me, whenever I see AI slop on my shitposts (original content I suppose) 2 weeks ago:
So annoying when you jump in something already political to pretend you’re offended
- Comment on Me, whenever I see AI slop on my shitposts (original content I suppose) 2 weeks ago:
Totally ethical. It’s the best.
In a time when content is king. It makes me so angry that the left was manipulated and played into hating AI. Look at you all. You can’t even see it. Lemmy is so oblivious to it.

And that’s ok you know that. Seriously. Some people actually want to be the joke. It’s not mean or malicious it’s a funny sign shop. I just wish we could all understand it’s ok to be made fun of. Life is more tolerable and enjoyable when we can laugh at ourselves and often that only comes from jokes that people have been trying to sanitize or act offended over lately…
