How to think critically about what the media is telling you?

Fantastic. 2 years is a bargain.

It's interesting to see how voting patterns have shifted over time. In my county, which voted 53% to 45% for Biden in 2016, Trump is now leading Harris in advanced voting by a margin of 55% to 43%. Most of the advanced votes are coming from in-person voting, which Trump is winning, while Harris has an edge in mail-in ballots. What’s surprising in the result change is that most early voters are women (and retirees). One family friend is pouring her emotions out on Facebook about how Trump is a Nazi and will ban abortion. It is fine to not vote Trump... but don't quote your reasons based on hoaxes. I feel sorry for her husband. I'm sure to get some shit for posting how to recognize misinformation on Facebook this morning... questioning the narrative will equate me to a Nazi to some people.

@WrestlingRasta Have you started the journey to decenter your whiteness?

How does the media mislead the public? This video explains the how. -
I would love to see Ron Paul and Elon Musk team up on DOGE and create higher turnover than the previous 45 presidents combined.

https://join1440.com/today (just the facts) and largely x.com On x.com, I get breaking news, watch unedited footage, gather full context, discover trending discussions, access community notes, and view multiple angles and critiques on the same information. It’s not for solid "journalism," and it’s definitely not about blindly accepting John Doe's narrative. I flip back and forth between what is X.com recommended and who I follow on X.com. Steve Ballmer nails it x.com as his goto source for news. -

I’ll be honest: if the censorship party wins or if this election is even close, I’ll need to take some personal time off work. I’ve never felt so disheartened or had such a low opinion of people in my own country. I think I’ll just go touch some grass.

Trump was not a politician and did not know what he didn't know. He explained this in the Rogan interview. He admits his mistakes. Now that he understands, he's assembled a team ahead of time.

Nazi comparisons are meant to drive a reaction and are not based on accurate history. It is over the top. Lets explore comparative behavior. Like the Nazis, which American party has heavy control over media and uses propaganda to shape public opinion, suppress dissent, and promote their ideology? Democrats! Like the Nazis, which American party supports censoring speech? Democrats! Like the Nazis, which American party supports expanded government power under the guise of public welfare? Democrats! Like the Nazis, which American party is actively prosecuting and attempting to kill their political opposition? Democrats! Yea, but America First! Yes, which American party wants to focus on prioritizing American jobs, reducing illegal immigration, and scaling back U.S. involvement in foreign conflicts? Republicans! And that is completely different than the Nazi focus on racially exclusionary ideology. Remind me, which party wants to talk about racial identify all the time? Democrats! Drop it.

Yes. Robin DiAngelo, the biblical author of White Fragility. Honestly, the movie didn’t portray Matt as attacking the movement or being a bigot. He was main actor, obviously ingenuine in his role as a white man on a journey. Matt allowed those featured in the documentary to share their own views. Ironically, the far-left individuals striving to avoid being racist ended up displaying clear racism themselves. It is almost unbelievable that these are real people.

Evidence the left is much more radicalized than the right

This guy helped one country kill people in a different country, and he didn't support his country. He’s a nut job and should be treated like the traitor he is. -
I paid $16 to explore 'Am I racist?' because, as a white cisgender male, I recognize that biases are embedded in my identity by history, and no action alone can fully erase them. Understanding this, I want to confront the seeds of bias within me, acknowledge my inherited legacy, and take responsibility through self-reflection and support for equity. This is a step toward understanding my role in a system that perpetuates inequality and working consciously toward change. I appreciate how people like Matt Walsh and Robin DiAngelo take direct action, including financially supporting black people they encounter, to help repair the harm rooted in our collective shadow selves, rather than waiting for systemic change. My favorite part was when a white guy said that he feels "cringe" when he recognizes he is white. A few highlights on the worst parts of the video: White bikers from the deep south at the bar says people need to be worried about how they are going to feed their families, not the color of a man's skin. They make the same claims as Morgan Freeman that if you want to get rid of racism, quit talking about racism. They dare to say that talking about racism IS racism. The black guys from the deep south that say they do not experience microaggressions, America is not racist systemically, and claim America is a good country. Black Professor Wilfred Reilly argues that hate crime is not an epidemic in the U.S. Leverages his background—a PhD and his teaching position at the historically Black Kentucky State University—to support his perspective. Claims that the "demand" for hate crimes in America far exceeds the actual "supply." Cites government data showing only 7,000 hate crimes annually out of 20 million indexed crimes. Asserts that the media is primarily responsible for creating the perception of a hate crime epidemic. Argues that attention should be directed toward issues like Black-on-Black crime and other forms of violence rather than hate crimes. Points to high-profile cases later debunked as hate crimes, including Jussie Smollett, Duke Lacrosse, and Bubba Wallace. Authored Hate Crime Hoaxes: How the Left is Selling a Fake Race War. (Note: This statement is an inverse of my actual opinions... As soon as someone starts discussing systemic victimhood, they've lost touch with reality. The reality that the overwhelming majority of citizens can achieve success in America when they accept their role in making it happen.)

It was well worth the $16 newly paid to the wire for a one month membership to watch the video. That said, if you see the clips, you've seen the movie. Being a white man and having already voted Republican during this primary, I've learned that I'm at the top of the pile, I'm a nazi, I'm racist, and there is nothing I can ever do to change my privilege. Now I'm continuing my journey to learn what a woman is. /s

Wrong. I question assumptions, evaluate evidence, consider context, analyze arguments, seek multiple perspectives, and reflect on my thinking. I am a skeptic of nearly all sources. For example, I pulled the raw data for manufacturing jobs and did my own fact checking. Independent thinking! Not internet believing!
