Crime Russian influence campaign, yup all those right wing grifting dorks!

None of them are YTers.

Then where *are* they?

If you're really this confident, I'm open to making a bet. Can't be my avatar, because I have an open bet with that shmuck Battisti, but we can do a sig bet. You seem pretty confident. You in?

I didn’t even know we had signatures anymore since I’m rarely on desktop mode so I don’t know how much I’d get to enjoy it if I win.

But yeah, I’m down

They have sites where they write words and stuff. Quaint, but it still has its appeal to some of us.

Tenet employees frequent Sherdog I bet lol. That being said they were receiving up to 100k a day.

Blogs. Bah.

Give me a 60 second tik tok. I can vote based on that.

I think Hanania, Cowen, Douthat, and Levin are the top rightist pundits these days, but I'd still be reluctant to call any of them a real heavyweight. GG seems to mostly do childish name-calling of liberals and randos on Twitter.

Mark Levin? I actually read Levin's recent book, American Marxism. What a pile of shit! It just a collection of quotes. His own commentary is usually just "so true" or "we can see this happening today." He even endlessly quotes himself from his previous books. Just a hodgepodge of shit, where Marxism is the boogeyman hiding in your closet.

It reminded me all of this quote from Richard Hofstadster:

"The truth is that the right-winger needs his Communists badly, and is pathetically reluctant to give them up. The real function of the great inquisition of the 1950's was not anything so simply rational as to turn up spies or prevent espionage...or even to expose actual Communists, but to discharge resentments and frustrations, to punish, to satisfy enmities whose roots lay elsewhere than in the Communist issue itself. This is why it showed such a relentless and indiscriminate appetite for victims and why it seemed happier with respectable and powerful targets than with the occasional obscure Bolshevik it turned up."

Eek! No, dude. Yuval. Sorry and thanks for asking so I could clarify.

Eek! brings me back. Ruined a bar date with it. Tried explaining what an onomatopoeia was, and it still didn't work.

A lot of that is rage bait porn or you have it stained in your memory because of confirmation bias. Migrants aren’t this boogey man out to ruin you…Truth is that people born here are more likely to go on those rape rampages.

Immigrants Are Less Likely To Commit Homicide, Sex Crimes, and Larceny Than Native-Born Americans

A new study finds that both legal and undocumented immigrants are more law-abiding than native-born U.S. citizens.

Sure but if your knee jerk reaction to MAGA pundits being outed for bribery is whining about the democrats and foreigners. It does give that MAGA apologist type impression of you.

The study you posted is inherently flawed because they misinterpreted DPS data. There are four categories to DPS data, citizen, legal immigrant, illegal immigrant and unknown. The study you linked assumes all unknowns are citizens. However a lot of unknowns are illegal immigrants who have not been identified as illegals yet (as either they refuse to identify themselves and/or there is a lack of data of them to conclude their status). Over time DPS revises data with updated statuses of people held in prison and they tend to be overrepresented as illegal immigrants and change the results greatly.

You can view more revised data and explanation at https://cis.org/Report/Misuse-Texas-Data-Understates-Illegal-Immigrant-Criminality. It shows that when the unknown population becomes known, the illegal crime rate goes up significantly higher than the citizen population.

But of course this pervasive lie is just spread without any analysis done beyond reading some headlines and actually critiquing the studies.

The CIS is not a credible institution.

I don't like them meddling with my country. Sorry not sorry.

everybody does it, even the allies

 

[SummerStriker]

Tim Pool being too stupid to realize he was being used as a propagandist isn't surprising.

Too stupid? That's just another benefit of fame to him.

 

[emefer]

And there has been multiple reports FROM dems about dem internals not being “as rosy” as public polling.

Where

We're doing this again?

Who were you last time?

The issue isn't just bias. Their mission is to advocate against non-white immigration and they don't have ethical standards. So no matter what the numbers say, their stance is set. Academic institutions are not comparable, and neither is CATO (also a rightist org, but with higher standards than the CIS).

We're a road or two away from Buckley/Vidal.

Wtf are you talking about. We still have Jordan Peterson detailing his wet dreams about his Granny and Michael Knowles debating teen girls on their "ideal" body count. The conservative pundits are more brilliant and sane than ever.

Explains why I haven't heard of em. I am assuming they post on substack or something.

I'm sorry. I forgot about Ben Shapiro's rhymes. We're totally in a respectable timeline.

Oh yes. Ben Shapiro is my go to when it comes to traditional healthy family values.

Imagine, these are just the publicy known pawns of russia.. imagine all of the unknown and all of the bots..

people really need to open their eyes to the reality of what they are consuming online

Eh, we can make fun of him enough without fake stuff.
