performative psuedo intellectualism

Don't be bitter, grandma. You can't see your own irony.

Now, what about Trump?

He says, in a thread entirely focused on splitting hairs over trivialities.
The thread’s title is self-explanatory, it’s about Musk stating that the laptop story was artificially suppressed on the platform. That’s not “splitting hairs”, that’s a statement of fact.

Yeah, every party tries to suppress misinformation. Trump tried to have it done when journalists fell for /pol/'s pee tape psyop shit. If the story is misinformation (and the Biden laptop story is absolutely misinformation) then yeah, it's GOOD for parties to be able to curtail that. In case this is difficult for you to understand, this should make it clear: That means it is ALSO GOOD for Trump to be allowed to have misinformation about him or information obtained by hacking removed. If we just let people make up whatever dumb shit they want or hack whatever private info they want then there's no real privacy for anyone.

You did it again. Just thought I’d point it out.

There's your problem. You're not willing to do your own research. It's people like you who rely on the tax exempt billion dollar corporate media to tell you what they want you to know.

One would think you'd be curious as to why the FBI was so desperate to bury the laptop story, even lying to Americans about it being Russian disinformation and paying Twitter to infringe on American's 1st Amendment rights, but then again, fascists don't ask questions, that's how atrocities occur in the world.

thank you for the life advice far-right activist and propagandist traderpattx i will be sure to do every last bit of research from far right sources from now on. i know i should start at breitbart and oan but you gotta recommend some real trusted sources around here who have absolutely no bias whatsoever. steve bannon is my hero too.

But I did my own research and found that was rubbish. Can you give some tips on how I can better perform research such that I can arrive at the conclusion I want?

While some people want a "smoking gun" before they begin to suspect Father Biden of foul play, many people who vote do not. Some would look at what has been seen of it and wonder why Hunter is where he is instead of prison, and vote against Biden.

Suppression of the story, by the FBI, and the several government actors saying it was fake/Russian disinfo, should really demonstrate how much America is not a democracy, but authoritarian through coercion. FBI meddled in the election, blamed Russia, and helped install a president who would continue the war racket (and "fund" them of course).

And if you are on this thread, you'd might as well pay attention to the conversation, instead of "performative psuedo intellectualism" like @LainaGabranth, such as blaming Trump for America's problems--as if he was elected for no reason, and then America turned to shit.

I really wish people would come to GBATemp for Video Game info and leave the political bullshit for the political arena somewhere else. It ruins my day when I come here and see all the political bullshit. Most of the world have been brainwashed by the industrial media complex that they dont even know what 2+2= anymore, and then they wanna call you a racist and that math is racist if you try to go along with the facts. Sad!
TURN OFF THE NEWS OR YOU WILL GET MORE DUMB AND BRAINWASHED!!!

Pedo-stuff, e-mails and docs that imply the pay-for-play, quid-pro-quo with Ukraine. Things that would hurt public support for politicians' roles in Ukrainian government (racket), especially Biden's election. Courts might call it inconclusive or whatever, but it's enough to convince a real person. Don't go to work in politics!

The laptop has anything and everything you could possibly want to be on it, on it. It's a conservative Pandora's box of wonders. In other words, about as real as Santa Claus in most cases. There's no guarantee the laptop is real, that all the data belongs to the same computer, and even if it is/does, that it actually belongs to Hunter Biden. He'd be in cuffs already for child pornography if he could realistically be connected to what they accuse him of, president's son or not. Instead they're the ones constantly milling through kiddie porn, as rage bait or for...other reasons. /shudder

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.
