Admittedly, i used to be the type who disliked all mainstream media, along with hating on fox news extra hard. But after watching this video:
I have changed my viewpoint. Admittedly, i have never really watched but MSNBC news, and i have only really watched Fox to laugh at how shitty it is...
I always figured the NBC crowd were a bit less retarded, just because i agree with their politcal views (only when contrasted to those of conservatives of course)... however its been made pretty clear to me now that both sides are going to fucking ridiculous to control the masses of gullible dumbfucks in your country.
I highly recommend people look into Christopher Hitchens a lot more (hes the English guy pwning the other 2 in this video... He really does talk a lot about how ridiculous the US political system is when compared to that of the British system for example. (Obviously he is not claiming that the British system is correct, not by a long shot, but it is at least a vast improvement on the American sytem). This being because the English system is based on actual debate between the opposing viewpoints, whereas the American system demonstrates, time after time, the complete lack of debate in its political process. This is demonstrated most clearly by the presidential "debates," which, by definition, are not debates because the rules state that neither party can talk directly to one another, and it is all run by a moderator. The presidential debates are just like 2 press conferences... Another example would be how legislation is passed by senators... rather than meeting and discussing the legistlation like a proper democracy is supposed to do, the senators for the legislation (and/or against it) simply give their speech, followed by a vote... rather than discussing it in a debate and coming to one final conclusion.
I mean, most people state that both sides are shitty, which we all kinda know deep down, but really, the way the country works just fucking sucks, way more than everywhere else in the western world.
Anyways basically my point is that this video made me realize how fucking shitty America is, and that i feel sorry as fuck for the people who live there who can also see this happening around them, yet cant communicate to the vast hordes of fucking retards that eat up this shit that its all garbage.
And im trying to make a kinda legit thread... i know itll just turn into a liberal vs. conservative thing at best... so give me a break here.
Also i didn't proofread any of this so that probably made no sense.
