Watch the 20 v 1 where Mehdi from Zeteo takes on a bunch of MAGA folk. They’re all 20-30 years old and it’s fucking crazy how many of them are blatantly racist and/or fascist. I’ll have to come back with the video link for you guys.
Jubilee - Surrounded is a completely twisted version of reality where they have been called out for deliberately finding and paying people to take the most extreme positions to represent the worst of humanity.
I’m not saying that there aren’t open fascists out there, many of them are now running our country in fact, but we all HAVE to start shutting the door on this kind of pandering rage-porn that makes us all hate each other for clicks. It’s making it all worse. Jubilee is not how people talk, it’s not how we reach each other and make change.
Isn’t that usually inverted though? Where the 1 is generally the one with extreme views and the 20 are deliberately picked to be inarticulate and oafish, thus promoting the extreme view? Admittedly it’s likely impossible to find a MAGAt that isn’t inarticulate and oafish.
From what I gather, they will try to do whatever they can to just ramp up the drama and conflict, whether it’s bringing in some outrageous character who participates in bad faith like Jordan Peterson, or if it means slipping a benjie to someone to play up being a crazy freak.
Andrew Callaghan said that when he went on “against” 20 conspiracy theorists, the production crew kept telling him that he needed to push back harder, but he didn’t play by their rules and ended up having one of the better episodes, where he gave people a chance to be heard and listened and asked questions and it was very civil and friendly. Unfortunately, that’s not what gets the most views though, so that kind of thing is discouraged.
This was on a YouTube channel, so it was just some dude and not like an official news source, but back in 2020 I found a Trump speech with German subtitles. Specifically, it was the time Trump said to stop testing for COVID so that there wouldn’t be any cases.
The exact quote is: “If we stopped testing right now, we’d have very few cases, if any.”
But the subtitles meant something like “We’ve done the tests and have very few cases.”
So, it completely changed the statement from something utterly stupid and ridiculous to reporting that the US just didn’t have many COVID cases, which was obviously false.
Unfortunately, it’s not just old or white people. Just look at the young GOP Nazi club or all the latinos that voted for Trump

Thanks for this added perspective. I’m not surprised, but I did not know nor did it even occur to me that some of them may be paid shills.

That was wild, thanks!
It’s like fire voting for water. It’s honestly hard to wrap your mind around.
I don’t know how true this is.
I read recently that when Trump’s speeches have been translated for non-English speakers, they are wildly different than what he is actually saying.
And when bilinguals translate for them directly, they aren’t believed because the literal translation is pants on the head crazy.
