We now have the phenomenon of political influencers being paid by one corporation to make up false claims about another corporation. What could go wrong?
THE CONSERVATIVE INFLUENCERS have spoken: Harley-Davidson—whose motorcycles helped create the paradigm of American masculinity—is in fact woke and gay.
The past week has seen wave after wave of MAGA personalities and meme accounts decide, seemingly out of nowhere, that Harley-Davidson was company non grata. MAGA influencer Priya Patel declared the manufacturer “fundamentally anti-American,” while Hercules actor-turned-tweeter Kevin Sorbo said his friends were abandoning Harley-Davidson en masse.
Conservative meme account “Prison Mitch” told his more than 100,000 followers that Harley-Davidson is “woke and gay” then posted a picture of a man in a biker’s vest having gay sex (jarring but basically SFW), quipping that Harley-Davidson riders rode a very different kind of “hog.”
Right-wing attacks on supposedly liberal corporations aren’t new. But, beyond the confrontational imagery, this campaign against the motorcycle giant stands out for the fact that Harley-Davidson doesn’t appear to have done anything terribly “woke.”
Instead, the effort seems designed squarely just to benefit Indian Motorcycle, a Harley rival. How can you tell? Because basically every influencer throwing a grenade at Harley is also simultaneously boosting its competitor. Prison Mitch, for example, posted a Marco Rubio meme with the secretary of state in an Indian biker’s vest.
If she had been able to answer the question, she would have said that Pulte has zero experience in intelligence services or anything remotely adjacent to intelligence services. This proposed appointment is the moral equivalent of putting a surgeon in charge of Housing and Urban Develoment, which of course is another thing Trump did.
A Black surgeon tho.
It's hilarious that he is linked on the local NBC affiliate website and still has only 7 subscribers.

All of the CIA safe houses around the world will now be built by Pulte Homes, lol.
i've said it several times before...
Viktor is that short yellow bus kid from your neighborhood growing up that every ignored because...they were that short yellow bus kid from the neighborhood.
the internets gave him the opportunity to feel affirmation from like minded short yellow bus people from across the country and around the world. Now he thinks he is correct rather then just a short yellow bus idiot.
*Every* neighborhood has them and now we all get to deal. You guys, for some odd reason, choose to breath life into him with replies rather than just telling him to shut the **** up and moving on with life...
go figure
right???
...So all your garbled incoherent pulling teeth shite was really just your way of saying West Bad Ergo Putin Good?I should have known.
Im pretty sure vic doesnt like putin. In fact, I'm pretty confident he hates putin but sees Russia as an opportunity to destroy the US .
But I do think its pretty interesting to see certain lefties cheer on a group of predominately white tyrannical slavs with far more actual nazi aquitances as a better alternative.

huh?
Have to admit it's crazy work to have a moment of silence for the white supremacist cop that killed the black man because he is being punished for it and not a peep for the black man who was killed by white supremacist.
Lifelong criminal George Floyd got a 1,000-mile funeral procession and a statue. He got a lot more than a moment of silence.
That said, a moment of silence for Chauvin is absurd and disgusting.

pretty much.

I don't think his life was the cause of the processions or statues, rather it was the nature of his death.
Now, I'm aware that plenty of people are fine with excusing brutality and murder if it happens to perceived criminals or people they see as bad for their community. The problem with that argument in this context is that under such a system of justice we do not actually need police.
WTF is going on at 60 Minutes? It's chaos!!!

I'm pretty sure he does like Putin, hence his constant stanning for him and Russia in the Ukraine thread. He persistently regurgitated Kremlin propaganda talking points there, so for someone who you claim dislikes Putin, he's a funny ass way of showing it.
Don't even know what to make of, or where to begin with your last sentence so I'll just ignore it.
60 min cliffs?
I haven't read the indictment against the SPLC yet, but based on the news reports, the legal theory of the case seems dubious. I do take it as a sign that Todd Blanche wants to be the AG. This is exactly the sort of indictment that Trump wants the new AG to green light.
I guess that Todd Blanche eventually did enough to convince Trump. He is getting the nod.

Most things could go wrong. Social media combines to a perfect storm of human interaction where reality can be fabricated, problems arise from thin air and issues are resolved without solutions. And life trudges along, because when things trod along reasonably well, our opinions are for the most part not very important. Like in this case, where at worst some people choose buy a different brand of motorcycle. Maybe bad for one of the companies, definitely corrupt and probably unfair, but hardly a big threat in the grand scheme of things.
Then some disaster hits and we are unable to tackle it, because disasters don't give a **** about what we think.

My question obviously was rhetorical. The modern view of the world reminds me of this old line from The Simpsons.
Just substitute the word "technology" for "alcohol."
