Thank you for outlining your strategy. I used to attempt something similar, although with limited success.

Lately I must admit I've become too frustrated to even try, most of the time. A lot people around me, although they were normal until the past few years, would probably say outright that propaganda is fine as long as it's representing their "team".

They choose to believe the first version of events from mainstream media and close their eyes to anything that might contradict that. How do you argue with a grown adult who essentially just sticks their fingers in their ears and says "la la la can't hear you"?

They're not interested in having a conversation, they're interested in having certain feelings.

Doesn't work with anyone I know. They think the laptop etc. are the lies.

The way they are dignifying and glorifying this disgusting trainwreck is a new low for the media, and I didn't think they had any lows left.

Bummer, I was hoping that a small upside of Trump leaving office would be for non-US supporters to legally buy official merchandise as it would no longer be a campaign contribution. Disappointed that's not the case.

Not sure if it's happening in America, but here in Australia they are going HARD on "plant-based meat". I've seen some of it in the shops and it pretty much looks exactly like minced beef. Think about how much processing needs to be done to get a plant looking like that! I'd much rather have it done in a cow than a factory.

Nice move, sir. I see you've played this game before.

Under these rules you can make literally anything racist/sexist/something-phobic. ANYTHING. It's a fun, if depressing, road trip game. Give it a try.

Right on. My "black and brown friends" (more commonly known simply as "my friends") are normal people who don't give a shit about this nonsense.

Trump gave the left everything they used to claim to want and they are too proud/brainwashed/tribalistic to admit it.

This is so odd to me. I'm in Australia and the minute our mask mandate ended, 99% of people stopped wearing masks (I would have bet on the opposite). Now when I go grocery shopping about every third visit I might see one lunatic wearing a mask and gloves and wiping everything they touch, but that's it.

Language manipulation - if Trump's dog issued the same bite, it would be a 'vicious assault'.

Nobody whose job title includes the words "diversity and inclusion" is quiet in any way.

This is an outstanding account of that whole despicable event. Thank you for posting it. Gillard is an evil piece of work, just like Hillary Clinton.

(As an aside, I'm shocked that only 87% of our "journalists" identify as leftists. I would have put it at 98%+)

For goodness' sake, are we still on this bullshit? I'm a woman. We make less money on average because we tend to choose/be suited to lower-paying jobs and take time off for kids. That's it. It makes us all look bad when leftists just won't shut up about the "wage gap". I hate it.

Because their supporters WANT to be victims. It makes them feel better about being losers and absolves them of the burden of hard work, for life.

Ouch. Painful but true. We're now a Chinese province in all but name.

Will NEVER happen. Special interest groups (single mothers, non-white etc.) will always say they need more because oppression and will always be given more.

Good point on the bags, I hardly ever saw them littered. Everyone I know used to use them as rubbish bags. Now we buy bags specifically for that, so there's zero net change in bag usage 🙄

That's interesting but not surprising. Most of the climate change non-believers I know are, like myself, people who live/have lived on the land, have observed it for years or decades, and actively work to improve their patch.

Being an "activist" is fantastic because you get to feel good about being "part of the solution" without the hard work of actually being part of the solution. I'll have to dig around and see if I can find the paper you mentioned - it would be great ammunition.

The waste and littering from all those single-use products just kills me. I pick up masks off the ground everywhere I go - my personal record for number of masks picked up during my daily run is over 40.

The mask cultists are the exact same people lecturing us on climate change. I'd like to know exactly how being a "climate change activist" became an acceptable substitute for actually caring about visible environmental problems in your day-to-day life, and who the architects of that paradigm shift are.

Of course they are. This was the plan from the start. We should never have let them even begin dictating this nonsense to us (speaking for myself- I realise many here never complied, but personally I was 90% OK with the initial "two weeks to slow the spread". It took me a few weeks after that to figure out the bigger picture).
