wtf? brainwashed?

is the rapper the victim or your savior?

review this summary...(it's not long)*

...then look in the mirror. if you look closely, you'll see the soap suds in your ears.

honestly. trying to help. don't know how or have the patience to deprogram y'all. the reds are the reason for the division and the deepening morale decline of US citizens.

am a conservative by nature, a 'liberal' by necessity.

Is this an example of what the US is filling it's kids heads with for "education"? This reads like a deprogramming guide for totalitarian governments.

Yeah well, lol back-Take a country like saaaaay, North Korea-One generation deprogrammed would cure the ills of yet another born onto abject totalitarian spin but how to accomplish it without the world whining? There is no 'achieving' when the sanest solution to a problem does not jibe with a more convoluted model which works only for a small percentage of assholes who also happen to run world economies and flotillas of carriers and subs.

People? To those in command at the top of the homo-sapien food chain they represent so much disposable meat.

Yeah, yeah, think of the children....like the ones who are groomed generation after generation to become the carbon-copy cunt adults who keep this little game of hate going? Can you say, 'Fucked from birth??" How about you concentrate your efforts on eradicating shit-think programming? You talking about the ineffectual 'we' or just the gaggle of bleeding-hearts who come to cackle and rant about the world's injustices on a back-alley video-blog??

Deprogram half the motherfuckers on planet now and watch the game change in one generation.

"we just".....meh.
How 'boutcha sell that shit to your local broadcast affiliate's audience?!

Your perfect-world news-report fantasy works fine in theory, does it?..'peer reviewed' till the cattle are housed in mandatory temporary-to-permanent dirt-floor & barbed-wire accommodations CE??....Maybe your own verbal ticks will develop into a similar, "well, very specifically" when you are NOT being arrested lawfully and tossed into an asylum where a company doctor can render you insane, deprogram you, and use you as an 'example' of what one can or can't say on Facebook?

Forest-for-the-trees lackeys are a dime-a-dozen at a peer-reviewed fantasy camp on the outskirts of (insert city or town near you in the future you've helped to create).

You are already on planet police-state, keep up the fine work and pour-through those tomes of toilet paper and perhaps hone your own 'axe' (a fucking metaphor for reason or wisdom, the kind that cuts both ways....HELLO?!)

How bout an interview?

Works for me! Please, step into the deprogramming chamber you nubile, young backsliders!

This video just shows what nuts these people are. Guy at work the same way. Can't discuss ANYTHING without him turning into a spitting, raving, angry, Alex Jones-quoting nutbar. If I say anything anti-Obama (and I say a lot), he thinks we are on the same team or something, and omg... the ridiculous shit he spews. It's amazing to listen to all the crazy "facts" rattling around in his brain. Similar to the religiously delusional, it truly is a mental disorder, and, hopefully, in a few thousand years this inability to think rationally will wipe itself out of the genepool somehow. Until then, these people need serious deprogramming. Unfortunately, they keep voting against their own interests, like health care, so they probably will never get help.

Idiotic video.

I get your point, I'm just saying that America has this irrational antipathy towards the name Marx, the label Marxism, and socialism and the like. All people know of it is the evil caricature and the demagoguery, and nothing about the real ideas behind it, thanks to the way it's been erased from our culture through 1984-style propaganda and demonization.

The Fight Club/Marx connection only really clicked for me when I watched this clip, and I wanted to try to use that realization as an opportunity to say "here, buried in your fondness for Fight Club is what Marxism is really about" in an effort to deprogram my fellow countrymen...

Or instead we can just focus on how wrong it was for me to dare try to label people, even as a rhetorical gambit to start a deeper conversation.

>> ^criticalthud:

Yes, I guess my point is, while i agree with most of what someone named jesus christ supposedly said, calling me a "Christian" wouldn't be terribly accurate, and would have a tendency to associate me with something more than just ideas.
and Karl Marx wasn't the first, present, or last person to think rationally.
perhaps Marx should sue for copyright infringement. ?

@SDGundamX

Yogi has his/her own, personal issues with reality, so jumping in with the "Doctor" doesn't gain you a whole lot of juice.

Assuming 2.3% is correct (and it isn't even close*), that makes only 161 million, according to you, that could potentially care about the death of Mr. Hitchens. Not very Christian of the rest of you lot, now is it? I'm not even sure what your point is, yet you dedicated a whole paragraph to it. What do you think is the minimum number of caring human beings required for someone's death to matter? Why does it seem so important for you to believe that so few will care about Hitchen's death? Are you trying to dismiss his importance in this world by claiming only a few TENS OF MILLIONS of people will miss him? How many people will give a shit when YOU die?

Shinyblurry seems to have some delusion that witnessing here in the lion's den of VideoSift will score him bonus points with Allah. His every comment and video is part of a personal crusade to save us lowly heathens, and I find it offensive and TIRESOME. His comments used to get a "fair shake" from me. Now, they don't. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who is tired of his relentless, delusional lunacy. The only thing that can truly save him are an unmarked black van with heavily tinted windows, some nice men in white coats, and about 6 months of heavy deprogramming.

Christopher Hitchens is my mf'ing jesus! He hath shown me the way! Religion is TRULY the root of all evil in this world. Hitchens is one of those "crazy ones" who "move the human race forward". Religion will die a slow death, but, unlike Hitchen's legacy, it WILL die. We may even get to Mars after all.

All I have is some Momokawa saké, but I'm sure you'll understand, Mr. Hitchens. Bottoms up!




*It's around 14%. Yep, about 1 Billion atheists/agnostics (and rising).

Wow, inspirational.

Forget gay deprogramming camps for kids... there should be hate deprogramming camps for politicians and adults, and maybe they could show this during the first-day orientation.

Well, it's a nice little fantasy anyway .

A lady at my daughter's daycare was wearing one of these yesterday (in Germany). In my opinion, if your wearing one of these for any reason other than Halloween you need to be professionally deprogramed. These things should not be allowed on anyone who is not a voting adult, and no one should be allowed to force someone to wear these horrible things. If your an adult and you want to wear one go ahead... at least I know to stay away from you.

I don't disagree with some of what you've written, but there are very real differences between the two parties, enough to matter at election time.



em>>> ^criticalthud:

umm..
QM, who pays for the ads on tv? large multinational corporations or mom and pop bakeries?
Now, I'm not saying that large multinationals don't contribute to democrats, they do, as dems are sucking hard on the corporate tit too, ...and since when has either party been "of" the people? Our political system responds primarily to the top 5% in this country,...the rest of us get the bill.
The top 5% make policy
the top 5% pay far less (percentage wise) in taxes, straight up, or through loopholes and tax shelters.
the top 5% control the media
relentless brainwashing is pretty much anything on tv - making you a good, flag waving, upstanding, apathetic consumer. economic slaves that are suckered by their never ending search for security and material possession. You have been socialized to be a consumer who is afraid to question your government.
the institution of slavery was replaced by the institution of debt...wrapped up in red, white, and blue.
you and i are probably very close in what we think is good for this country. the difference is that i'm pretty fucking aware there is hardly one ass-bag in congress that actually has the people's interests at heart.
the best slave is the one who doesn't realize he's a slave.
the idea of liberal vs. right wingers, at least as far as the people are concerned, is like a magician's distraction, done through propaganda to make us all less aware that we're being royally fucked in the ass.

Demented?

I'm not pretending to know the mind of Gurbles, friend.

Disinformation, obfuscation and aggression might seem like a good idea in a right wing 'ends justify means' kind of way.

If you want to know where the left gets it tactics, find Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. It's the blueprint or our community organizing telepromptesident and Hillary.

Left, you care about equality--your brand of equality--at the expense of truth. That is why you deserve to fail at all times.



>> ^cosmovitelli:

"For all I know, I'm the only "resistance" you meet all day to liberal brainwashing. How 'bout a hug?"
Well I FINALLY understand what powers QM's demented nonsense. And it could have been worse.
But QM - Goebbels honestly thought he was trying to help. Disinformation, obfuscation and aggression might seem like a good idea in a right wing 'ends justify means' kind of way.
But it really does make you the villain. Sorry.

>> ^Drachen_Jager:

I approve in general, but I wish people wouldn't keep bringing up first amendment rights for these things.
The GOVERNMENT cannot interfere with your right to free speech. Other citizens, corporations and entities may still interfere.


Right, especially when you're using their microphone / speakers, etc. I think they handled it very well, and I'm glad he left the stage neatly rather than struggling to keep the microphone.

I get the feeling he didn't make much impact on them. Glenn Beck for president... *sigh*.
