They're already not "mainstream", if that term even means anything. Wet noodle liberal Tim Pool gets more audience than they do.

I find Carlson far more palatable than Hannity, but I don't trust either of them.

Anxiety is generally characterized by cognitive impairment. In particular, the worry dimension of anxiety is closely related to impaired cognitive performance [1, 2]. Worry interferes with the transmission of signal from action-monitoring to post-error adjustments, which leads to unimproved behavioral performance [3]. Additionally, if worry refers to the cognitive dimension of anxiety, fear can be considered as emotional and psychological arousal. The relationship between fear and worry has been explored in numerous studies. Individuals in fear are more sensitive to emotional stimuli than those in worry, which shows the distinction between fear and worry in attention engagement [4]. Besides, worry, as the contrast avoidance, may attempt to inhibit the fear experience [5].

Holy smokes, I'm amending this meme right now! Thank you.

A bit oversimplified, but true. Both movies depict the fall of a galactic empire. Luke is a hero in the making simple and pure, whereas Paul is corrupt from the day he was conceived. Lucas was paying homage to the media he grew up with, whereas Herbert was warning us about ... well everything.

I better stop before I spend the rest of the evening geeking out over two of my favorite things.

I've always believed Lucas was at least partly inspired by Dune, though Star Wars is definitely a different kind of story.

I believe the corporate media is the propaganda arm of a totalitarian dictatorship. I regard anything they say with great skepticism. Even when their facts are correct and verifiable, it is prudent to assume they are hiding facts which do not support the regime. Frequently they stick with "facts" which are not easily verifiable, as that increases confusion and conflict among the public.

Well ... perhaps he just smells change in the wind, but I really think it would take more than that to get him in line. Mahr wouldn't matter to me at all, except that he may be a window into the insane anti-logic of the left.

I think you did the right thing. Just don't give in to the idea that they could ever have the right to force you into it. They don't have any such right, and never have. You own yourself, and no one has a claim on your life unless you agree to negotiate for it.

Please do make the most of your own life. Don't let them make a herd animal of you.

I don't argue against the facts in this meme. There are two things I don't like about it:

  1. It concedes the opposition argument that race should be the deciding factor.
  2. The opposition know they are hypocrites, so this won't move them.

To be clear, it matters who your audience is and what message you intend to convey. If your audience is people who already agree (such as me), you move no one. If your audience is the opposition, you concede their premise. If your audience is undecided people ... I honestly don't know who that could be at this point in the decline of America. Someone recently suggested that everyone who can be radicalized already has been, and its time to organize whoever we can.

I don't believe it, but I did watch an interview on the subject. There are quite a lot of interesting and unusual facts around it. https://www.bitchute.com/video/dVmZTOrCh8GU/
