You know, now that someone lifted their hat at me for real I can totally see that it's a cool way of greeting that makes people feel a little special for a second
This is just a hypothesis, but I believe that one of the roots of the problem is a lower ability to retrieve information, caused by increased exposure to advertisement.
Regardless of the above, the problem is actually a big deal, once you consider things like meta-information (such as truth value and reliability of a claim) being also information; so if people don't get info on their own, it's easy to misinform them. So it isn't the muppet failing to see "this is a Lebbit story" and screeching at the "actress" of that video, it's also a similar muppet saying shit like "ivermectin cures covid" or "jet fuel is making the frogs gay".
Discusses how Trump or someone like him could potentially turn America into a fascist state in five steps.
The first step involves using threats of violence to gain power, as seen with Trump's attempts to intimidate voters and election officials in 2020.
The second step is to consolidate power by turning every arm of government into a tool of the party, similar to Hitler's actions in purging non-Nazis from the civil service.
The third step is to establish a police state, with Trump planning to deploy troops for immigration raids and crackdowns on crime.
The fourth step is to jail the opposition, with Trump openly threatening to prosecute his opponents and remake the Justice Department for personal vendettas.
The final step is to undermine the free press, as a fascist regime needs to control the flow of information, which Trump has been attacking and threatening to punish news outlets.
The video emphasizes the importance of recognizing the threat of fascism and taking action to prevent it from taking hold.
I was planning on it, you beat me there. But I wanted to make sure that people know that the summary was AI generated and they could use that same tool

This isn’t a straight political community so I'm gonna derail just a bit. But it's wild to me that Robert Reich is making this content, meanwhile his son is over here doing this, he also showed a naked picture of his father playing the flute in this episode.
Liberal Justice Katangi Brown Jackson expressed concerns that the First Amendment limits government actions during critical times and questioned what actions the government should take to protect citizens.
They are starving people to death. It was stated from the outset by Zionist politicians that no food would be allowed in. We are watching a genocide happen and the West is complicit.
Psycho? Really? Isn't that a little harsh my friend?
Edit: Don't downvote me. Use your words! I'm curious.
Edit #2: OK it's on me. Saying "Don't downvote me" is like wearing a "kick me" sign. I don't care about the karma. I'd prefer comments. Or downvote and then comment. 😆
Do you honestly expect a YouTube channel that makes mid to moderately famous people eat spicy food to be a paragon of journalistic integrity? That's just silly.
Also, yes she is parody of herself, but personally I reserve that level of vitriol for the Bezeoss and Rumsfelds of the world.
Scamming people who need real medical help into thinking bullshit products will cure them of issues, when in reality they could even cause them harm, is definitely deserving of vitriol.
Why even have her on hot wings? She doesn’t act, is barely in the Hollywood/pop culture landscape and now runs a company selling bullshit to people. Is old mate that hard up for people to go on the show?
What? Only old people reply to old posts? You have absolutely no logic. I was already in here when it was first posted. I always come back to these buzzword hive mind lemmy hatred posts to observe the ignorance. Did you forget the E in CTE in your username?
Oof what a retort. What? Only old people misspell things? I’ve been on reddit for longer than I care to admit and almost never has anyone replied after 24 hours. That and you opening with an age based sting just led me to guess you were projecting. The username zinger certainly didn’t help either.
Interesting how the reaction is split so far. It occurs to me that lots of celebrities have sold sketchy shit, but female celebrities get grief over it. Did Matt Damon get cancelled over his crypto Superbowl ad? Food for thought, guys.
You’ve just tapped into the lemmyverse hatred hive mind. It’s easy to do. Other than a vagina candle I don’t know a whole lot about her. Hating someone for being a hustler and making $$$ is wild.

Dr. Oz seems like a great example in line with her. They both made bogus claims about snake oil products that don't provide the benefits claimed.
Did Matt Damon get cancelled over his crypto Superbowl ad? Food for thought, guys.
Damon did an ad as a spokesperson. Crypto is inherently risky; it's a currency based on nothing that people just made up. Unless I'm missing something, I don't even know how they're comparable.
Hot Ones used to have interesting guests and interesting, deep dive, questions. This season really feels like it jumped the shark. Just PR for people who don't need it or deserve it.
