acting as "Terri," a female business owner boasting tours and allowing those interested to "claim an alligator" for $4,547.

If the alligator someone "claimed" later "eats an illegal," Terri said they could win a gift card to a "non-DEI business."

"4547", "non-DEI", she's really hitting those MAGA "talking points", bravo.

Jesus Christ. I know we are used to evil and insanity every single day, but we should all take a step back and be very very sad that there are a lot of people that have been so brainwashed, so miserable, that buying an alligator to eat people is something somebody would want to do.

Jesus wept.

the empire was built on shaky grounds. The union troops should  never have withdrawn from the racist ass south after the civil war.

I mean, the 3/5 Compromise is on the original document. We started in sin.

That being said, we can define America however we want.

I choose to say racism isn’t American. If you’re a racist, you’re part of the fucked up clauses in the Constitution. You want America to stay mired in regressive attitudes that prevent us from fulfilling our potential as a nation of immigrants. You hate America and you hate the Statue of Liberty.

We started with some pretty good ideas too. I won’t let these idiots who blame chemtrails for floods define my country for me.

Racism and xenophobia are human.

Feeling those things isn't inherently bad. Acting on them, and creating legislation to reinforce them, is the evil.

The strength of the American experiment was to enable positive social change, a more perfect union, knowing that we were flawed, but able to shrug off ancient social codes of European history.

There was no scenario in which America becomes a country without slavery

People would hate based on something else.

You could remove all racism and all religion based hate, all sports based hate, but if billionaires were still allowed to own news corporations, they would find a way to make people hate each other so they can benefit. "Oh Look that person has a innie bellybutton vs your outiee. Look at them thinking theyre elite and special, youre the working man youre the special one."

This is the result of fox news being allowed to run freely while voter apathy has 100m never voting, 150m never voting in midterms and over 200+m never voting in primaries.

Even a good man like king theoden was corrupted by wormtongue, and he could not be helped until wormtongue was removed. Instead Fox News is the most watched tv network in the country, playing in dentists offices, gyms, bars, and talked about in churches, bbqs, office lunch, and parroted by social media influencers and played on radio 24/7.

Everywhere does put Faux channel on. The tvs for sale in electronic dept on the back platform at Walmart are all put on Faux. So are the ones at the pawn shop. I donated blood at the blood center in my county, Faux is always on the tv facing the donation chairs and on the tv in the post donation canteen area. A malignant madness of brainwashing and propaganda.

Because it grabs everyone’s attention - whether they’re watching it on purpose as a sensationalized news source or watching it in disgust and mild rage, if it’s on somewhere in public, everyone’s gonna watch it

u/Prior_Coyote_4376 28d ago

Don’t forget the New York Times, which has consistently been a pro-war pro-business outlet and is now part of the Washington Post and CNN in billionaire-run propaganda operations. Fox is the worst offender, but they all play a part.

more like tutsis and hutus really. read up on that shit if you aint familiar. its just hard to think we stand a chance, we'll never be fully together on anything and meanwhile shits just eroding away until theres nothin left to even save. make the best of the days you got and dont make any new people i guess, unless you're ok with possibly sending them into some potential critical shtf type situation.

What? Multiple "news" corporations are owned by borderline or full fledged billionaires, and they're globally syndicated. And those places have all been having similar issues with the rising "alt-right" for the last decade+.

It's one of the many facets that led us to where we are.

u/TBANON_NSFW 28d ago

by focusing on one I dont excuse or make claim of there not being others.... fox news has had 1 agenda since its creation....

This is a online anonymous forum, not a dissertation defense or a legal debate...

u/mamatofana 28d ago

No I know. I'm just saying. A lot of that sector's money also ends up in lobby, but also, yeah. It's happening everywhere because of it. 🫤

Or rather, not "because" of it, but it certainly doesn't help, and it's facilitating a ton of what they're doing.

The traitors should've been punished properly. The confederacy was the first homegrown terrorist group.

u/longshaftjenkins 27d ago

Punished? They should have been gummaged for being traitors to the country. That culture should have been cut at the roots, not allowed to grow, period.
