Exactly. Fox News simply reveals what is already there. In some ways Fox News has been beneficial to this nation. It helped unmask all of the bigots and racists. Before FoxNews, there wasnt such an easy way to so quickly know someone's perspective.

I didn't steal it, I won it by killing the people trying to stop me from stealing it.
Only until they're the ones getting inconvenienced. Then it's suddenly opPreSsion iS BaD!!
Remember the time when the US subverted the usual pattern of breaking a treaty with First Peoples within the first months of ratification? We broke the treaty of Ft. Laramie before it was even signed.
American absolutist position on free speech. We must tolerate all speech, even intolerant speech.
I'm sure that won't turn out badly in the long run or anything 🙄
Unbelievable.
And "we"? Fuck off dude, you are so far removed from that shit, you don't need to be carrying on the fight in that 'battle' you fucking cretinous scumwad.

Fuckin lol. Straight up tho. Shit's wild the things they say on this crap network.
Garbage ass people.
Yeah, it might be more constructive to focus on ways to discredit and undermine the conservative propaganda machine.
Unfortunately might makes right works too well on the common people.
We've been trained that there are people who "deserve" their success because they are better than us.

I'm going to Wells Fargo tomorrow with a bat and ending this mortgage nonsense once and for all. Do I need to challenge a regional manager or the branch manager to mortal combat?

Almost all US history education before university level is pure lies, worse than worthless. I took AP US History at a top 2% (at the time) high school, and even there we were taught nonsense like our Civil War not being about slavery.

The worst thing about this dude is he knows exactly what he's doing. The smug smile. He must sit in the dark and conjure up things to say just to get people riled up while also acting as affirmations for genocidal nationalists. I wish him the worst and count the day till whatever dark shit he's into comes into the light.
the US literally stole lots of land, which they don't really teach
but a lot of it was conquered via conquest (you can call this a different type of stealing), which might not be taught directly. people can figure that part out if they have a functioning brain, but fox news hosts are unlikely to possess that talent
there are some lunatics who described the whole continent as unsettled, but i don't know if they actually allow that to be put in curriculums. it might vary state-to-state. and individual teachers can probably ignore some of those rules without consequence
i don't know the ratio of what land was stolen vs conquered if you really want to make that distinction
lots of land people live on (not just Americans) was conquered at some point in the past by someone, probably illegitimately. in that sense, almost everything is stolen. just depends how far back you want to go. for the US, it just happens to be a lot more recent than some other countries' land
US History in public schools, even decent ones, is mostly fairy tales although they will describe events.
"The Pilgrims wanted to practice their religious freedoms, so they sailed West, and encountered the Indians in America. There, they set up their colonies. Along the way, some conflicts broke out with the Native Americans, and there was some fighting between the two groups. Then the 13 colonies said 'No taxation without Representation' and the American Revolution came-"
It's all kind of like that
Seems like a sensible system for a civilised society, honestly. If you don't want people stealing your stuff, you should have just been better at not getting killed. 🤷‍♀️
Lol.
When will Fox News get shut down? Never? That shit is just vile.

The many, many people who claimed to have lost parents and/or grandparents to Fox would like to have a word with you. Their stories frequently tell of loved ones who used to be more conservative or old-fashioned than they were, but with whom discussion was possible even if they didn't always agree. Said stories invariably ended with mourning the process of those same loved ones turning into mouth-pieces for whatever stuff Trump or Hannity spouted the night before, often practically paraphrased, who were just angry all the time and who'd bring up the latest conspiracy out of the blue even if the dinner conversation was about something completely different before.
It's a little short-sighted to purely see Fox and its right-wing cousins as "unmasking mechanisms" for people who were crazy and evil all along, rather than as channels that take people's grievances and nurture them, validate, amplify and then weaponize them, all the while telling those viewers that trains of thought that used to be socially unacceptable are, in fact, perfectly acceptable because look, all these high-profile people in your media bubble are saying and thinking the same.
It's not just Fox News anymore either, it's Steven Crowder, Joe Rogan, Tim Pool, Jordan Peterson, whoever else. I have so many people in my life that regurgitate their talking points over and over. At best they were centrists or moderate conservatives, but they would have laughed at Fox News years before. Now I find them making the same arguments Tucker Carlson might make, and they do not listen to other points of view without being incredibly hostile.
I hung out with an old friend who I hadn't seen in years, who I remembered being very progressive last time we talked, but within about 5 minutes he started going into those same right-wing talking points. It feels like I'm living through a shittier version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
Remember how easy it was as a kid to make friends? Anyone around the same age and area was a potential friend. Fox News hates kids.
