Guess no one has posted this because a lot of people dislike either Nick Fuentes or Tucker Carlson, but Tucker and Nick had a debate today. I will be posting any interesting points that come up, but it is the last thing I expected from Tucker to have Fuentes on.
Anybody have any go to archival tools for long format videos like this to post on the forum?

I noticed this when I first got politically-minded, which was over gun issues. I was raised in a pretty gun-negative atmosphere and it was only as a young adult that I started to read books by people like John Lott, became familiar with the actual statistics, and became enlightened as to what the utilities of guns were besides just the risks. I looked around me and nobody in the liberal atmosphere that I was part of had even a passing familiarity with these things. All they have are these platitudes, the boilerplate propaganda lines and no understanding beneath it.

If you've ever been around a liberal regardless of age who is most likely too far gone, you'll know how they react when you point out something which is politically or historically inaccurate. Talk objectively about controversial historical or contemporary topics, and it's like a dormant propaganda switch flicks on in their mind. It doesn't help when they fly into a rage immediately and try to shout you down while throwing around obscene and or condescending comments at you. Nobody likes dealing with a drone who sits in front of a TV most of the day whom you know is absolutely 100% wrong while they think they're 100% right and all of their "tribe" backs them up.

You aren't an independent thinker when you're more like a hivemind who have most all ability to think for yourself due to sitting in front of the idiot box all day. You can also see this with them in the form of their comparing real life political and historical situations to Harry Potter or Star Wars. Their view of the world is cobbled together by literal FICTION, and yet they think they're smarter than every other political camp in the world. If you, say, deal with one of them getting irate when you mention reading history books about the fall of Romanov Russia and that all the immediate royal family got murdered (because they think Princess Anastasia survived because it was in a movie), then that's a giveaway that liberal is incapable of any independent thought because the talking head or the movie does it for them.

It's amusing because the left never tires of mocking Christians, yet so many on the left are the mirror image of the kind of authoritarian Christian groups they mock. Hardliner, authoritarian religious groups quote their belief system at you and think quoting it at you settles the matter. They think that the truth of their beliefs are so self-evident that no further discussion is required. They'll preach things at you as if you've never heard it before, because they can't comprehend you hearing it and not believing or accepting it. That's where we're at with so many on the left now.

The liberal left types shout people down because they think any questioning of "their way" means you by default want to genocide their pet racial minorities who ironically wouldn't like them at ALL. To add insult to injury, these people love to twist Christian scriptures to get you to roll over for their hideous worldview because they think they know anything about Christianity when they've never opened a Bible in their life and have some vague "hippie Jesus" idea in their head. The mockery of Christianity is starting to grow on the right as well, I see it all over right wing Internet spaces to varying extents as they larp as Christian while engaging in unchristian behavior behind closed doors. And the behavior itself isn't really amusing as you described, it's just pathetic and sad.

We're at a point where politics has become people's "identity." When a person's ego and sense of self is tied up with their beliefs, viewpoints, opinions, they'll get very upset when those are challenged. Instead of it being a case of being mislead about some facts, no big deal, it becomes an existential crisis.

Politics has replaced religion or ethnic identity for a lot of people. In the past, a lot of people used to see themselves primarily as members of such and such church or as a part of some ethnic community. But as those ties have faded for so many, it's left a void where becoming a part of a political group provides a new sense of belonging. The problem is that then the narratives put out by the political communities become sacred to community members instead of news stories or facts open to debate.

Not quite. A lot of people were content to live their lives and be left alone, but were forced into politics because politics would not leave them alone. There are probably a lot of people in this thread who did not care about politics until their video games, books, movies, and television shows started lecturing them. It is one thing for your parents, teachers, politicians, and so on to wag their finger at you. That is part of life. It is another thing for there to be no escape from overbearing, finger-waggling authority.

That is probably the biggest mistake that the progressives made: they invaded leisure activities. They probably would have accomplished manufactured consent by slow infiltration of colleges, universities, workplaces, politics, and big media. The wrench ended up being silly shit they did not have to do, like social justice soapboxing in video games, signs about global warming all over random hiking trails, and constant scolding about how every hobby and piece of entertainment is "problematic".

If you want to tune in to the Big Hearing in the RIFs case, it appears this is the link to the judge's Zoom:


It should start in about twenty minutes or so, just now the court reporter was testing audio for it. As always, PLEASE DO NOT FUCK AROUND, MUTE YOUR MICROPHONE, AND DO NOT RECORD BECAUSE IT IS ILLEGAL TO DO SO. This is the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (in San Francisco). You can join via your browser if you don't have or want Zoom.

It looks like the little girl admin lawyer may have been replaced in these proceedings. I did see a "Notice of Appearance/Substitution/Change/Withdrawal of Attorney" docket entry last week with the new guy's name. He, too, is awfully young-looking though, and he's the only lawyer up (whereas the unions have several).

Judge immediately said her plan is to grant the new amended complaint, AND to grant the preliminary injunction. She literally just said that right after the lawyers introduced themselves, before ANY discussion has taken place. This is so wild. Not even pretending.

This is a core part of why the right is winning, particularly in discourse and "meme" wars. Everyone knows how to get into a lefty's head, but they still think that the average right wingers is their steryotype from their TV show who will shid and fard if you spit on an american flag.

In all fairness, at least part of the reason for that is just because of how many sects have gotten giga-pozzed. Let's say you've newly read the Good Book on its own. What exactly is one meant to think when scripture describes the importance of church and community when your nearest branch is Episcopalian? It's not out of the realm of possibility and is rather discouraging. Even in reasonably red areas a lot of churches lean on cult of nice hippie subversion rhetoric. Catholicism isn't safe either since the Pope seems to be disregarding scripture in favor of the same brand of civilization suicide lefties are so fond of. For someone trying to get away from gay race communism, getting a bad first impression might end up driving them into a meme religion or the sort of two faced moral cynicism you described.
