              If you see the rascist, fascist Tucker Carlson as anything but a horrible human being that never does anything but horrible things, I question your own beliefs when it comes to race and fascism.

              Also, no one is going to click on the YouTube links of someone who praises Tucker Carlson.

                  By that, do you mean you share Tucker Carlson’s racist beliefs about black people? Because that may have to be brought up in future conversations. It’s a very important detail about you.

                    I don’t see a point in continuing this line of conversation.

                    Your beliefs are yours, and that is fine.

                    I try to hold people I do not agree with and those I do to a higher standard; I do not outright follow what seems like MSM talking points or what the status quo wants us to believe of such people, especially when such labels are seen to be taken by some as outright gospel.

                    I have my own bias against certain people, but I will still try to take the time to directly listen to what they say until I make a sound judgment of their character.

                    I try to push against my own bias so I may change my views as I continue to learn, but I do not think it would fit with MSM and the status quo talking points.

                    I hope this explains a bit more about where we differ.

                    TLDR: All is well; have a great day!

      It seems only weeks ago you were pretending to consume independent media and claiming to avoid bias. What changed in the far-right propaganda circuit that you don’t find the pretense useful or necessary any longer?

        pretending

        far-right = far-left = working class, MSM = Status Quo = Governement = Propaganda = All owned by the Owner Class

        I have not changed; I continue to learn and shift my views a bit, but I am still posting views that get downvoted since I left Reddit.

        Taking a look at the communities I manage now vs. when I became active in Lemmy World, I had similar core communities, but less.

        You may have just seen some of the things you agreed with, and now you are seeing some of the things that you don’t agree with.
