So one thing here. Did you all see the size of the guys pushing him out. If you’re a leftist and you’re a guy, eat steak, lift weights, then your too can push all the Nazis you want around. If you’re not training to lift your purple haired big boobed former Goth girlfriend over your shoulders are you really anti fascist

- Comment on *play imagine being sung by random white celeb* 2 days ago:
Lol I love the sentiment because they are multiplying. But then you’re like “it is their lack of self awareness that is the problem”
We are the ones that lack awareness. The reason they are growing in numbers and electing idiots like Trump is that we are not connecting or engaging regular people. I have watched people in places like r/fuckcars advocate for deflating random people’s tires while on their way to work. They act like that’s the way to win these things. Meanwhile Trump supporters are on a lake getting drunk and blasting Creed and launching fireworks. Like there is a very serious lack of self awareness on the left. Most aren’t even aware that there is a very serious decline. They’re all just waiting for someone else to fix it all.

But that is you guys. The left. You’re the lazy ones. The right got out there everyday and made new messages and spread their view online and in person. The left retreated and used stale tactics that only worked in the 70s.

That’s great, thanks for explaining.

Analysis just leads you further down the incorrect path. The answer is in the title. “Overwhelm” the only answer is we all need to make more content and to share and disseminate it. We need to act, not study.

- Comment on What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments? 1 week ago:
So let me ask you something. We all know that a big part of shaping public opinion online is simply just being exposed to an opinion repeated over and over again. Like when someone says something and then has multiple rebuttals that are similar. Or like when we read an opinion over and over again that is not contested. Given what you said, how do we make headway in shaping opinions publicly by disengaging and allowing their opinions to freely go uncontested
- Comment on What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments? 1 week ago:
How about asking why you lose the argument instead of trying to label all this crap.
It’s like you’re watching your 12th “how to build a full stack application” video while they’ve already finished their 2nd project.
End of the day what they use to succeed is effort. We don’t. Look at the answers here telling you it’s pointless to engage. That’s why they succeed online. Those people

That’s what killed my skating dreams. I watched buddy after buddy popping Ollie’s first day while I spent 2 days that seemed like an eternity barely trying and never once being able to do it

Both look like you’re sucking a dick

- Comment on We gonna fight 1 week ago:
I’m not sure what that means. I’m interested though. Is it something you can explain here or is there some topics you can’t suggest I read up on
- Comment on We gonna fight 1 week ago:
For me, it makes much more sense to think about it all as pop culture. I’ll use America but this goes for any country.
The right leaning party represents pop culture. A dominant culture. The popular culture is American Apple pie and blue jeans with letter jackets.
The left represents everything outside the pop culture bubble. It’s a larger population as a whole, but they’re like little bubbles they all contain their own culture. Those cultures can conflict or merge and compliment each other. But they’re individually separate.
The pop culture is always feeling threatened. It needs to maintain the status quo. Every outside sub culture is trying to fight their way into the dominant culture.
So this is why the right leaning voters trend towards rejecting things like immigrants, minorities, LGQTB and often other sub groups that are not wildly accepted by the pop culture. This is also why the left leaning groups do not. They trend towards infighting about how to do things but overall they all focus efforts on taking status away from the pop culture.
When I view politics as a clash between pop culture and sub cultures, it makes so much of it make so much more sense.

- Comment on doctors 2 weeks ago:
I heard Dr Mike saying the other day how we a doctor, prescription drugs suck. End of the day, they have serious risks vs benefit. But the one thing known to give you the benefit of drugs without the risk is lowering your weight. Like across the board it improves so many things. I don’t envy doctors who know what the answer is but are told they’re assholes for trying to help

They’re tired because they’re losers. Losers are tired before they start. Losers are too tired to even try. They’re losers. The left are full of losers. It sucks being on the left with people who are absolute nerds who would rather ride a bike and think benching is bad for them because they don’t want to get too buff. You all keep framing it like “don’t wrassle with pigs” “we all lose” but that is the most absurd bullshit excuse I have ever heard. There’s no finish line in anything we do, just do it. Stop making fucking excuses, make fucking content and play the game. First learn the game. Second, play the game. Stop with nonsense justifications. We’ve all been pushed into these dark recesses of the internet because of these excuses. Share content. Make content. Stop spreading defeatists nonsense like “there’s no point maaan you can’t get them to admit I’m totally right and correct in all things that I say because I’m always totally right and they never admit it no matter how hard I try to show them I’m right.” They don’t care to convince you. So stop it. Take their bullshit and shove it back in their face. The amount of content we could be making daily to show their hypocrisy is insane. I just listened to Tim Pool give the stupidest explanation for what he thinks war is. Just absurd foolish ramble where he starts going off about this definition that ends with him saying people who argue online is basically warfare. Cut, Clip, Post. Boom. Yet nobody does that. No one on the left is working. We’ve been calling them facists for decades. We’ve called them nazi’s for decades. We need to wake the fuck up and put in the work. Boost names. Share content. Create content. Do not stop until your grandmother is quoting the meme you saw on facebook that was shared from lemmy and posted to reddit from X. Everybody needs to stop acting passively.

I mean the voters are the accountability. Seems like the right show up with weapons and plan A, B, and C that they have organised for the past year.
The left show up with knowledge of how to get arrested.

What stops you from doing the same to them. This is the funniest shit. Why don’t we work
