@LibreSolutionsNetwork @cjd @thatguyoverthere It’s bizarre that #Disney (a strictly conservative right-wing corp which even financed the war chest of an extreme anti-gun-control republican politician) would give a rat’s ass about ESG. In principle the only people who should be investing in Disney are also those who are already socially irresponsible w/no sense of ethics w.r.t the environment.
@thatguyoverthere @cjd @LibreSolutionsNetwork The shareholders in that clip you posted are all very much right-wing (of the ones I recognize).
@thatguyoverthere @mystik @cjd @LibreSolutionsNetwork Just saw that video which peddles a right-wing #conspiracyTheory littered w/the claim “this is not a conspiracy theory”, yet that’s exactly what it is. While there are a lot of truths in that video, the speaker wants you take some giant leaps of faith as he weaves a bullshit narrative into it. He tries not to state the wild claims as he prefers viewers to fill in the blanks.
@cjd @LibreSolutionsNetwork @mystik @thatguyoverthere A common #propaganda technique used at corps is to quite simply state the opposite of what their critics think. A corp I worked at had a framed poster w/slogan “When things get tough, quality always prevails”. It simply stated the opposite of what happened in that company. This video is trying the same technique, & you have suckered for it.
@cjd @LibreSolutionsNetwork @thatguyoverthere @mystik @cjd Of course it’s a conspiracy theory. He’s making a claims that wealthy elites are conspiring against the rest of the world. If you don’t see that you’ve missed the core thesis. And of course it’s right-wing as he blends in conspiracy theories from Alex Jones. The only kind of conspiracy theories you get from AJ the lunatic are right wing nut job theories.
@mystik @thatguyoverthere @LibreSolutionsNetwork @cjd He started off well, but to latch on to Alex Jones nonsense weakened the whole narrative. He’s betting his viewers have little awareness of Alex Jones, and it was a foolish bet because any shred of credibility tanks b/c of that.
@thatguyoverthere @mystik @cjd @LibreSolutionsNetwork The “deep state” conspiracy was invented by Alex Jones¹. You ask for a refuted claim but a conspiracy theory doesn’t necessarily present misinfo unless it’s really poorly presented (like that of AJ). It’s the giant leaps of faith that are problematic. 1. This documentary may or may not mention it: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/united-states-of-conspiracy/
@koherecoWatchdog @thatguyoverthere @mystik @cjd @LibreSolutionsNetwork this is nonsensical, if Alex Jones told you that X is true, does that make it impossible for it to be true?
does Alex Jones have the ability to alter reality by his statements?
I'm sure you've seen the Eisenhower speech regarding the military industrial complex, these are not conspiracy theories, you've just been convinced by the conspirators that everything is fine
it's strange to me that for someone who clearly has strong critical thinking skills has allowed such a strange blind spot to grow in their thinking, I can't see any way in which a deep state would fail to form in a long enough timeline with human nature being what it is
@koherecoWatchdog @LibreSolutionsNetwork @cjd @mystik @thatguyoverthere that's not what I'm saying, your argument seems to be that Alex Jones saying something is sufficient to disprove it
if I've misunderstood your argument please correct me
