Perhaps having Grok be so blatantly misinformative will actually be a blessing as it will get people to question the answer machines. | ||

Is that a controversial opinion? have you ever sat across the table from an american conservative republican voter ... live in person? Dude... Mark Dice: "In May 2005, through his website, Dice advocated for the Georgia Guidestones monument to "be smashed into a million pieces, and then the rubble used for a construction project", claiming that the Guidestones "have a deep Satanic origin and message", that "the New World Order is written all over them.", and that R. C. Christian, the person who built the guidestones, belongs to "a Luciferian secret society" related to the New World Order.[1][23] In June 2008, Dice launched "Operation Inform the Soldiers", an effort to send DVDs, letters, and declassified government documents to U.S. servicemembers in Iraq. Dice hoped these would prove 9/11 conspiracy theories and cause the recipients to "rethink why they’re fighting."[24] On June 10, syndicated talk show host Michael Reagan advocated on air that Dice should be assassinated for having done so. Six days later, Reagan hosted Dice on his show and apologized for his comments." Oh and... I regulary sat and sit across plenty of conservatives, I grew up (and live again) in a Village that leans heavily conservative as in one of the most conservative villages in my canton/state and Switzerland also isn't exactly known for it's progressivnes. The large majority of conservatives know fuck all about politics except that they vote for the conservative party due to two reasons: 1: They are very sure that Immigrants are bad, except for the "few" good ones that are, by some miracle, also the ones they know and often work with. 2: Men kissing each other gives them the "icks" and therefore also should be banned or at least kept out of sight. I wish i was making this up, but I had these exacts "arguments" actually used in a discussions with me, both more than once. | ||

Dice appeals to that crowd. Granted, the mainstream outlets have their own deficiencies that encourage the flight to youtube and substack stars. I hope for remediation in that department, so that anybody disillusioned with the conspiracists and pure culture-war commentators have someplace to return to if/when that happens. | ||

SO, they take Fox News with a grain of salt. More than ever Americans are skeptical of mainstream cable TV news. And to quote Martha Stewart: "that's a good thing". you think Grok and ChatGPT are a "super intelligent friend" ? I find they get basic stuff wrong all the time. Those people are part of conservative inc, that you don’t know it is bonkers. Also, that people who take in lies/garbage also take in bigger lies and more garbage is not the counter to my argument you seem to think it is. | ||

It’s entirely dependent on what form ‘skepticism’ takes and how it manifests. | ||

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DR1_cpKkamk/ I know instagram isn't the best source for news and stuff. Also this seems kinda biased but I thought I'd share the latest rumors regarding Trump. There's been a lot of speculation regarding his health recently but it seems that yesterday he made a blunder when giving an interview at AFO which together with other tell-tale signs now leads people to believe he is being treated for dementia. The second link provided is by a supposed geriatric care medical professional and he claims that Trump has 3-5 months of life left in him. | ||

Are you very certain about this? I thought they were both places with brown muslim terrorists who hate america and had WMDs. That sounds like the same place to me. | ||

WASHINGTON — It wasn’t the one he had in mind but Donald Trump did finally take home a peace prize. Trump was the winner of the inaugural "FIFA Peace Prize," which the soccer organization awarded during its World Cup draw in Washington. The award winner was hardly a surprise. Trump has been the assumed victor since FIFA announced the creation of the prize a month ago that it said would "reward individuals who have taken exceptional and extraordinary actions for peace." www.usatoday.com Inb4 Trump is walking around naked in a state of a dementia while winning awards for being best dressed at the Daytona 500 | ||

I'll have to wait for rumors to become something substantially more believable than the 'official' explanation of soft tissue irritation caused by frequent handshaking and aspirin (it's THIS medication to treat THIS hidden condition!). To which I'd add old man skin being prone to bruising. We're only three months away from Instagram rumors that the president had actually died and that was the reason for a lack of public events.https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQXqvKHkubs/ https://www.instagram.com/reel/DR1_cpKkamk/ I know instagram isn't the best source for news and stuff.

Football is so weird. The world's largest sport is openly corrupt from top to bottom. FIFA is corrupt, and match fixing is widespread in lower levels, as sports betting is a big thing around the world. | ||

FIFA is the perfect barometer for median world corruption, it's one country one vote in an environment with great financial incentives and temptations. It would be a lot weirder if FIFA wasn't dysfunctional given how it's organized. | ||

a man and POTUS of the world, seeing the light of the actual and only Football. 2026 WC hype is real and Mr.T gets along swimmingly with kindred spirits from the FIFA. I wonder if MAGA will take a knee in defense of US Football...? | ||

It would be a lot weirder if FIFA wasn't dysfunctional given how it's organized. This is more related to being popular and organisations having power, while everyone knows about corruption. Nobody seems to care, really. People should organise a big push to fulfil Trump's wish to rename American football. Aim to have some made-up vote for the new name just after the Super Bowl and announce the results week later. Buy ad time during matches, especially during the Super Bowl. Pester everyone about their opinions and act shocked when they do not want to fulfil the wish of their great leader. Hearing about this once is silly, but hearing about it repeatedly during your important sports match becomes annoying. Republicans like to complain about renaming sports teams, buildings, etc., so this should be effective in making them angry, too. | ||

Some key takeaways:
There's obviously much more than that, regarding national identity and security, stopping migration etc. but it's a very lengthy document. Sounds absolutely crazy to me and I can't stop and wonder what's going on through the current administration's heads with this. Is threatening allies you had for decades a good idea? What if EU actually takes offense and sells trillions of US debt it holds to China? What if they ban nVidia from European markets? US economy could collapse overnight. | ||
