But it is so fucking obvious in its intent. As in sledge hammer obvious.

I find it hard to imagine anyone but those under the age of 19 falling for this.

You underestimate the stupidity of the average person.

StuntmanMike123

Well, think of how stupid the average person is...and then think of all of the people more stupid than them.

You should listen to his work on The Bugle, it is much better. This stuff for HBO is really dumbed-down for the American audience.

I think part of having red-pilled intelligence is the ability to understand how people in power and government think, but the moral fortitude and framework to reject it.

Also the ability to think about the different groups of people on this earth without letting emotions get in the way and without censoring themselves.

And basically the ability to assess things on logic without letting emotion get in the way in general.

When I worked at a restaurant I knew this hot blonde chick who said she watched this shit and the colbert show etc, and she admitted that it was how she got her news, this was like 2-3 months ago. When I asked if she was going to have children with her boyfriend one day she told me she "didn't want to bring children into this terrible world". Fucking hated her guts ever since...

Being smart doesn't make you immune to being willfully ignorant.

Shout out to the No Agenda Show for discovering this early on.

John Olivier is a hyper-faggot, I don't want him back here in the UK. Can Australia take one for the team?

Bridgeheadprod

reminds me of this Doug Stanhope bit

I timestamped this, but the whole clip, and all the other Stanhope bits from Newswipe, are worth watching.

Fucking brilliant!

This technique was developed by viacom at the height of the Mtv days on gen x by the likes of Garofalo. But it really found its home when Stewart brought it to comedy central airing right after SouthPark finding an easily influenced young millenial audience who were let down by the changing face of education that completely demolished critical thinking curriculum. Oliver, Stewart, Colbert, Bee, the list goes on of viacom alums who have now spread this subliminal mindfuckery like a virus.

It's a formula perfected over many years

Weary99Bunny

It irks me to think how much I have been manipulated by the media my whole life. Grrrrrr!

It's been so long that I actually can't remember if this is what John Stewart did as well, but I am inclined to say yes.

That being said I do remember he slowed it down at a certain point to actually have a chat with the audience in a sense.

Rinse wash and repeat

Pedersoli

You nailed it. That may be the reason I never found him to be all that funny. Canned laughter ruins comedy.

MirrorMan

You want to know where the "smug" SJW face and dismissive laughter comes from when someone outside their ideology tries to hold a conversation with them here is your answer.

seventen

So can we start a hashtag punch a smug libtard? Sure would like to see the ball rolling on that.

behindthetoilet

Exactly. They are conditioned to laugh at anything that doesn't make sense to them or goes against the (((official))) narrative.

MY CONTENT IS BEING DELETED https://archive.fo/DbONp

Archived The Mega List of Censorship Tools On Voat, Inc.'s website, Voat.co (whatever)

submitted 5 months ago by SaneGoatiSwear7 -the amount you can post in a sub is limited per hour, besides in subs you mod. -the amount you can post in a sub is limited per 24 hours, besides in subs you mod. -you can only post once every 60(30) seconds, site wide. -you can only downvoat comments up to the amount you've upvoated comments -in a 24 hour period, you can only voat 1/2 as much as you have ccp total -you cannot downvoat anyone's comments nor posts that are older than 7 days. -you can only comment (and edit) every 30(15) seconds -new accounts and accounts with low ccp are more limited than this, and for an unknown period of time, are forced to use google to use voat - a major privacy breach. -all accounts must allow google to sign up for voat - a major privacy breach. -you are not allowed to access voat past page 19 through voat, besides your own comment history to page 99. -past 3 months, voat pages are now archived and you are not allowed to comment nor voat on them. -you are not allowed to participate meaningfully in consensus building the direction of voat, like you used to before the admin switch 7 months ago. -you will be harassed, attacked, and defamed, and downvoat brigaded before posts even show up in v/all/new if you attempt to bring any of this up. any of it. on this whole page. -accounts with -ccp are serverely restricted,

which means users can effectively partially silence other users. this weaponized censorship has been utilized consistently by the cabal that has taken over voat, and has left a chilling effect on voat, allowing hugboxes to thrive and meaningful disagreement and discussion to be snuffed out. TLDR: downvoating has become a form of censorship, instead of what it was intended to be: curation.

https://github.com/voat/voat/tree/Dev/Voat/Voat.Business/Rules/Voting - go ahead, and poke around. -if you are caught in a mystical trap of unknown measure, defined by a secret cabal of secret devs, -and even upvote ONE post in a way they secretly construe as being party to a brigade, you will be banned without warning, without ability to appeal. This is not coded into voat, it's done manually by secret tribunal of shills named failure, disappointed, fuzzywords, and puttitout (to name a few.)

not even kidding. there is no rule written, there is no code in voat specifically for "vote manipulation" bans. hundreds were just banned with less than 10 votes ever given on those accounts each.

https://voat.co/api/bannedusers

worse, the two groups of accounts with votes given were goatku's - defending brigades with reverse brigades, and the cygnus army - a false army that didn't even account for 10% of just the brigade on my account.

meaning, puttitout banned some users for upvoating, and didn't ban any of the actual voat abusers harassing, assaulting, defaming users, and manipulating the front page by upvoat brigading themselves and their shillack nor any of the abusers silencing users with downvoat brigades. megapost link -if you are caught protecting others' ability to speak on the same account, you will be banned for it, while those abusers silencing users are protected by the administration of voat.

furthermore, they have strict code already in place, just turned off that limits you to just 10 downvoats on another account per rolling 30 minute window. not turned on yet TLDR: there is MASSIVE censorship on voat, but it's been a slower slippery slope than on reddit, in the hopes that YOU wouldn't notice. 777

Why do you comment on things as a complete non-sequitur? I'm actually curious.
