- Chex
- Joey: listening to Bill on Joe Rogan right now, its pretty good, even tho I think Rogan is a meathead
- infspire
- I have Joe Rogan on block until Jan 29.
- infspire
- He recurringly spreads right-wing propaganda.
- Chex
- infspire: I generally dont like him, or listen, but if he has someone specific whom I like, I will listen to him, Elon for one, and now Bill
- Chex
- infspire: and Bill spreads left-wing propoganda, so this would be a good conversation, right?
- 13:21 infspire
- I like some of his content, but generally his bad parts build and then I block him for awhile.
- infspire
- Which Bill?
- Chex
- Bill Maher
- infspire
- I wouldn't say Bill Maher spreads "left-wing" propaganda, no.
- Chex
- I would.
- infspire
- What is it?
- Chex
- infspire: him griping about 'kids these days'
- infspire
- (I dislike that we skipped over Joe Rogan's propaganda so quickly.)
- Chex
- infspire: how milleniels are a coddled generation, etc
- infspire
- What Joe Rogan's guests do is immaterial to what Joe Rogan does. Joe Rogan frequently carries water for the alt-right and right-wing propagandists, which is very evil in this time period.
- infspire
- He mostly does it because he's too stupid to not be propagandized, rather than super consciously.
- infspire
- I will engage Bill Maher, but I will need a pause between the two topics.
- Chex
- infspire: thanks for letting us know how much you like Rogan and Maher
- infspire
- Chex: That is a profound fallacy.
- infspire
- Why did you say it?
- infspire
- I agree that it could be said that some of those topics Bill Maher discusses are propaganda topics.
- infspire
- Jonathan Haidt does have substantial scientific research that the generation of kids born after 1990 are statistically quite different than kids that came before.
- infspire
- Further, Jonathan Haidt has done research that shows that access to social media at a young age -- i.e. kids born after 2000 -- seems to have significantly modified how they socially perform.
- infspire
- But, generally, all propaganda topics also contain important nuggets of truth.
- infspire
- Here's an interesting question, though: Is the topic that millennials are coddled a left-wing propaganda topic?
- infspire
- It would seem more clearly a right-wing topic, yes, that attempts to impugn a rival faction by saying its roots/children have distorted minds.
- infspire
- Which raises the question of "What are left-wing propaganda topics?"
- infspire
- I'd have to think about that more, but I'd say that vaccine denialism is a left-wing propaganda topic.
- infspire
- Which Bill Maher has spread.
- infspire
- Now, returning your parting comment.
- 13:34 infspire
- It was in very bad faith and was extremely dishonest.
- infspire
- Since you didn't take any accountability for it, I put you on ignore for one month.
