    She was trying to do a fluff piece interview, and he was trying to drop hard facts. I’m glad he didn’t back down on his points.

      Haven’t watched it but sounds like someone with strong convictions and an idea why things are the way they are. Hopefully eventually enough people recognize the fact that we need a functional society that allows the random person to feel comfortable. Cause if you get enough itchy people things get scratched.

          30 seconds of sound when you’re pooping on the toilet at work, is 30 seconds too much sound. Hypothetically speaking.

    As unhinged as social media gets, this is pretty much why so many end up trusting it over traditional media. The internet broke the veil of commercial reporting/journalism - media in general. Broke the trust on accepting public personas and not being suspicious of them behind the scenes. Sell out reporters/journalist/artists/etc are like scabs to labor strikers

    The news reporter wanted a feel good puff piece regardless of how inappropriate it is. The interviewee wanted to report the actual news.

      The company that owns that NBC affiliate wanted a feel good puff piece. I doubt she had a say in the matter.

      Was it live? Probably not. That means they left it in on purpose.

          Yes. But if they aired it, they aired it on purpose. Clips like that are rarely actually live. So they made a show of not continuing to give him airtime, but they gave him enough to get his message out - twice.

              They often lie about that. It’s usually pseudo live, as in, recorded just a short while before.

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.

      Careful with that quote, it’s by Kevin Alfred Strom a Neo-Nazi from an 1993 essay in the national Vanguard, a white nationalist publication and it refers to the antisemitic trope of world Judaism.

      I’m not criticizing you, just want to contextualize it because it could be misconstrued to be a antisemitic dog-whistle, especially in the context of the linked article.

        It’s an axiomatic truism. It’s logic is self contained.

        Well, that just means he has experience ruling over people, and not allowing them to criticize him.

        That means it’s valid.

      the back in the 90s part screams body language of desperation to signal to him to play along and say what she wants him to say.
