Luckbox vs. The Media
The "media" is not actually a monolith with one goal, but many individual actors. The mainstream media wants eyeballs.
When we first started interacting today I asked you how many companies own 90% of the media in the US. You said you have no idea. It's five. So how you can state that it is not a monolith when it is almost entirely controlled by multi-billion dollar companies I don't know.
You yourself have alleged that there is a right-wing media funded conspiracy. I'm saying that you are right.
When the right wing started an openly white supremacist propaganda campaign about the caravan to rile up the GOP base of racist old people, the mainstream media wanted in on those clicks and those viewers.
Think about what you are saying here. The mainstream media wasn't white-supremacist before, but now that Trump has come along they are down with it. I understand that what I'm saying but might be an ultimately tougher pill to swallow, but don't pretend like what you are alleging isn't (also) nuts.
So in this instance Tucker, AOC and Trolly are getting it right? And Netanyahu and AIPAC are the boogeymen pulling all the strings?
This sounds like a false dichotomy if I've ever heard one, but having not listened to anything that any of the aforementioned people had to say or not say about Qatar and the middle east, I wouldn't be able to comment there.

I asked because You seem pretty convinced Netanyahu is pulling the strings. And I mean, maybe he is. I kind of think generally people should be given agency for their own actions, and looking for boogeymen controlling everything from the shadows is a bad way to view the world. But what do I know?
But when AOC and Tucker agree on something like this, what is the chance it is actually true?
Seems pretty low.

I barely even post in the I/P thread and I'm not sure what strings Netanyahu is supposed to be pulling. If you mean do I think October 7th was more or less something the Israeli government knew about in advance and allowed to happen then yes I do think that, but that has absolutely nothing to do with how Qatar is discussed in the media or by AOC and Tucker specifically.
But AOC and Tucker agreeing on some things (which in this case is just not mentioning Qatar apparently which hardly seems like an actual point of agreement) should not be surprising given horseshoe theory.

Ok. Thanks for being a sport. Listening to David Sacks spend 40 minutes arguing that Netanyahu is a evil genius mastermind who orchestrated everything that has happened in the Middle East the last 30 years kind of blew my mind; and it reminded me of you stating it was your opinion he basically orchestrated October 7th, so wanted to pick your mind a little bit.
Also, Netanyahu being an archvillian mastermind pulling all the strings and Qatar being a verboten topic are two separate, but not mutually exclusive, topics. And I am bouncing around all over the place.

idea is more like that what the black-red extremists agree upon under horseshoe theory is almost certainly wrong
Libs agreeing with fascists is nothing new and also nothing related to a horseshoe, which itself is horseshit.
This Dubai chocolate thing - random trend or PsyOp?
I hadn't heard of it before but it's looking like psy-op
I knew it! 😀
So it has been 4+ days since the NY subway burning, and the official narrative from the MSM is the victim hasn't been identified. Meanwhile, on X it has been "reported" for the last 3 days the victim was a (white) woman named Amelia Carter, who was supposedly taking the subway to visit her grandmother. This could be completely wrong or have some half truths.
But it is noted how the media/establishment seems to be slow rolling the details, as they clearly dont fit the preferable narrative.

Guardian are reporting the victim was believed to be homeless
Five days after the unidentified woman, believed to be homeless, was burned to death by a passenger inside a New York City subway car, city officials have not been able to confirm her identity.
Investigators may have to rely on dental records or DNA analysis to make an identification of the victim.
“It just adds another level to a tragedy,” Dave Giffen, director of the Coalition for the Homeless, told the New York Times. “At this point, we still don’t even know who she was and she can’t be mourned.”
Giffen said the incident underscored a broader lack of interaction, or empathy for, the city’s homeless population. “We can’t forget our humanity as a city,” he told the outlet. “The fact that nobody knows who this woman is the saddest story I can imagine during the holidays.”
The supposed photo of "Amelia Carter" is said on X to be AI generated.

It is entirely possible the entire "Amelia Carter" story is Russian generated BS.
But it is clear the "Establishment" is slow rolling the identity of the victim, for whatever reason. And if you insist on doing this, the downside is bad actors are going to fill the information void you are creating.

Well it's possible she was so badly burned that identification isn't presently possible. If she actually was homeless, maybe she'd have no ID or maybe that too was burned. I can't find the post on X, but it had that reader added context under it claiming the pic itself was actually AI
Found this from Newsweek who are claiming the ID is fake

X is also saying the victim was an elderly black woman on a walker. That said it's X, so not exactly a reliable source.
I had read she was sleeping and would doubt that middle class non homeless white women are too inclined to be sleeping on the subway.
I was thinking about how much we consume media that annoys us. I've found myself watching clips of The View and saying to myself: "Why does anyone watch this show?" Then it occurred to me. I'm the target audience. It's a Two Minutes Hate thing.
BTW is The View a PsyOp?
