It’s also funny that in WKUK they always struggled to make good endings to sketches, and Zach NAILED it here. Very WKUK-type ending.

As soon as I saw all those hotdogs I was like “what the hell that’s so many-… OH nice lol”

I think he failed by not putting any Baked Beans character in it.

So proud of my boy Zach from WKUK for this. It was written following the death of Trevor Moore, and showed the various responses to grief.

doesn’t matter, literally nothing matters as long as Fox, Newsmax, OANN, etc. exist, because the cult will still live in a different reality

that’s a bingo

Reddit’s glory days were when it was big enough to have consistently interesting stuff, especially in the niche subs, but not so big that bad actors (corporatization, foreign influence, domestic partisan bots, hate groups) could enshitify it. Now it’s practically unusable.

The way out is mass cult de-programming programs first, then arrest/remove/??? the propaganda sources like Fox, Newsmax, OANN, in the first place. Then “provide justice” (edit: there are plenty of legal ways to do this) to the few dozen billionaires causing most of this. Then from there the rest will begin to heal itself, but first you have to cut out the tumor/infection.

Have a bunch of family staying over at my house for Thanksgiving, and literally doing this now. Though instead of smoking outside, I’m “working in my office” (I’m actually working somewhat)

The scientific journal industrial complex is one of the highest profit margins in the world. It’s consistently at like 30-60% pure profit. Obviously not all journals are the same, some are reasonable, but some are insane. LOOKING AT YOU ELSEVIER

I can see you’re not absorbing what I’m saying, so… ok

In a vacuum you can say whatever you want, but in today’s media environment with bad actors and bots all over, posting anonymously online to repeat Big Oil talking points requires additional context. Nothing you’re saying is factually incorrect, but it just so happens to align with propaganda strategies.

That’s what makes it so effective as propaganda, they can hide behind “it’s not incorrect, it’s just facts” but the implication (and they’ve openly parroted it all over) is that everything is the fault of India and China and therefore we shouldn’t be trying to decarbonize and move away from fossil fuels.

That’s why there are so many pushes to get RCV on the books. Also why many Republican-controlled states are preemptively banning it, because they know they’d never get power again if it was a truly open and fair primary/general. Some establishment Democrats are trying to ban it too because they also benefit by the duopoly.

listen to this guy, he’s a CIA chatbot so he knows what he’s talking about

Nah, the wealthy can use extremely expensive cutting edge filtering methods that remove all PFAS chemicals. I’ve done a whole research project on this. There are a handful of different methods, it’s just that it’s prohibitively expensive to scale up.

What a fantastic idea. I’m sure no one has pushed for that.

But the implication by omission in your first comment is a literal talking point of API. It’s their entire thing. Just distract from implementing any real change by pointing to other countries. You can say that, but in the same post you should explicitly call out the entire other side of the coin.

Pretty soon this is going to be the US, with Venezuela and all that.

This is a classssic Right/Big Oil bot talking point. Why do you think the climate is where it is now? What is the main country that has pushed so much CO2 into the atmosphere in the last 80 years that we’re even talking about this?

Yes, China, India and others need to reduce fossil fuel production and usage. But this talking point is typically used as API propaganda to push the blame elsewhere. Also where is that demand coming from? Again, it’s America and the West.

These fine folks are the direct reason that many millions or even billions will suffer. In every article like this please save and share, because they need to face justice for selling out humanity so that their next quarterly earnings can go up a little.

maybe one day that’ll happen
