Can we get a tldw, please?
Im not watching ten seconds of that guy.
I watch people like Ben Shapiro all the time because I don’t want to exclusively live in my echo chamber and it’s good to challenge your beliefs and staying up to date with all sides.
I prefer the more moderate conservatives but it’s good to watch everything.
Something i am concerned about here on Lemmy is the instant downvoting without discussion of dissenting opinions. Hardly conducive to bringing about a revolution if we won’t even engage with certain people.
Seems like a massive circle jerk at times where we can all feel superior because we have empathy. But i want actual change and not just to seem like I’m progressive.
I agree it's good to subject yourself to other viewpoints but I'm definitely not going to subject myself to actual propaganda
All news is propaganda, every side has an agenda it’s just some align more with our morals.
I for one need to know what the lunatics are being told by the grifters so I can formulate arguments against their outlandish claims.
Just my thoughts on it and I am a nobody really.
valid but I think the specific brand that Joe Rogan and Ben Shapiro have is obviously part of Republican media out reach that is becoming increasingly divorced from reality
I recommend an intermediary like Rm Brown on youtube. Watching him let's me keep tabs on the latest stupid going ons without needing to steep myself in it.
