The former president’s apparent decision to skip the first debate is a major affront both to the Republican National Committee and to Fox News, which is hosting the event.

YouTube thinks I'm far right because I watch videos related to some of my hobbies, which happen to be dominated by far right morons.

Same.... Same.

[-] korewa@reddthat.com 3 points 3 years ago

Same here. Also live in a red state. I mostly have hobbies on my recommendations I try hard to keep politics off my algorithms cause it can be a black hole and take over everything.

Sup fellow Video Game/Warhammer/Star Trek fan 😂

Don't forget us about us left wing farmers/hunters/outdoorsmen and shooting enthusiasts! I keep the majority of my hillbilly hobby to IRL only as the algorithms quickly follow the chain of gun owner -> gun nut -> far right -> conspiracy theorist and Trump fan

There are dozens of us!

Yeah that's what gets me all the right wing nonsense. I love fishing, hunting, driving trails (usually to a fishing spot), and the outdoors generally. Apparently that means I'll love outright hateful content and Jesus.

I'd not heard of Star Trek. How the fuck can someone be right wing and watch Star Trek and go "yeah that represents my views"?

[-] GreenMario@lemm.ee 5 points 3 years ago

You'd be surprised at the amount of "Star Trek has gone WOKE/SJW" content on the internet. Yeah it doesn't make sense to me either.

My brain just had a momentary blue screen crash reading that.

Yeah Star Trek, the show to have literally the first interracial kiss on TV, with shatner intentionally sabotaging the take with the white actress to keep the other take in, and has one of the most diverse casts ever for a TV show, has only NOW gone woke. /roll eyes. Fucking maroons.

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary.

Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
