    How am i supposed to enjoy this? This just shows that left's power is so low that Jesse Ventura saying "socialism good" gets people excited.

      I've seen pictures of poop on pig's balls with more upvotes here than this post. People here will get excited about whatever weird shit, a former US governor saying nice things about socialism is something you literally would not have seen ten years ago.

      I'm enjoying this because I used to listen to opie & anthony radio where they would make fun of the guy for being a conspiracy nutjob. he had a hilarious show back in the day; they once tried to sneak into a 9/11 museum to test shit for thermite paint.

      also he's the former governor of Minnesota ya know?

      imo alex jones/qanon people are closer to radicalization than the folks who are inspired by shit like this :liberalism:

      Ventura might be some kind of proof of that. but yea, his platform doesnt mean shit.

          yea, I mean I'm certainly not the type to believe in the power of persuasive arguments, especially over the internet.

          I think the main way I got into the right->left lib->marxist pipeline was through watching yt videos of people making fun of dummy conservative pundits and the recommendations algorithm making me watch similar shit in order to make me watch more ads.

          this kind of shift is very gradual imo, and even when I look back at my shift to the right back in 2016 it was similar. I was pretty much entirely at the mercy of content creators and some algorithm.

          in conclusion, we need to find a communist Alex Jones. chuds would love that shit.

      "They still have capital punishment (and we should use it on the rich)" is fucking awesome.
