Have any of you actually seen this movie?

by Dinesh Desouza?

Are you smoking crack or just blissfully unaware of the known, and intentionally obvious biases at the foundation of the content you consume?

I was reading a few reviews of this movie yesterday, mostly because it's not everyday you see a movie with a Metacritic score of 1. I made the horrible mistake of reading the comments on the Rogerebert.com review. It's full of people claiming that Nazis were politically on the left. Their key argument seems to be "socialist is right in the name"... ugh. I can understand, to some extent, being ignorant of history, but these people double down on their non-sense when others try to correct them.

Same thing in the comments section of the variety.com review. Looks to be coordinated. Are we seeing another GRU disinformation campaign? In an attempt to influence the US midterms? Perhaps we are seeing some of what was discussed in Helsinki coming to fruition?

Also sticking to their argument no matter how easy it is to discredit. Is exactly what trolls do.

The thing that amazes me the most is how neo-nazism, racism, xenophobia and the reinvention of history. In particular the denial of the holocaust. Has gone from being the province of extreme right wing nutballs. Who were on the political fringe. To the mainstream of the right.

It's happening in aus to. When the current US president's son turns up to support Dsouzas revisionist propaganda. Along with trump government officials like Carson. Something has gone very, very wrong.

No idea what you're on about, and I don't know who Dinesh Desouza is.
It's interesting to me that pretty much everything you post is an attempt to be insulting. Were you bullied as a child? Are you angry that the world isn't as you want it to be? Perhaps the anonymous nature of communication here makes you feel empowered and safe? I'm honestly curious as to what drives that behavior.

Who cares? It's a Douchebag d'lousa propaganda piece.
I don't know who the fellow is, though he apparently has a reputation for being less than honest. A google search looks to be in order.

Edit: Alright, now I know why I've never heard of him. Nothing there that interests me at all.

Maybe a certain colored male should endeavor to attempt to cure their admitted ignorance before posting in a thread.

A new movie comparing Trump to Abraham Lincoln is coming out.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOJSMIGK36w

So who's looking forward to it?

You would think D’Souza would be utterly discredited after his "2016 Obama's America" failed in every single fucking one of his predictions and insinuations. Every. Single. One.

But cultists follow their cult leader after repeated failed predictions. So why is this any different? The fact that D’Souza has ANYONE willing to still watch or read his crap only proves the right-wing is a cult now.

Oh good, the three year olds explanation of socialism in the NAZI name.. Can't wait.

I just read that this guy got a pardon from Trump prior to the movie thing, so the whole thing is probably just quid pro quo.

Bwahahahahaha!

Did you watch 2016 Obama's America?

Did you take note of all the failed predictions and innuendo? How every claim was proved false?

No?

Why not?

Why in the actual, literal and physical fuck does ANYONE listen to D'Souza at all, much less anymore?

This just shows the attention span of the average conspirtard follower. Like a doomsday preacher follower they keep forgetting or forgiving all the times they were wrong.

And I keep thinking: Maybe this time... Maybe this time... Maybe this time... Maybe this time

There are several posters here that have tried to make that exact argument.

And all of them came to this conclusion Independently following a rigorous intellectual study and serious consideration of the evidence...

To answer the question of who is looking forward to seeing this, it looks like one of the cattle finally noticed this particularly delicious patch of grass to graze. Dinesh Dinero has proven that cheap, low grade bullshit can be used to fertilize the ground that his cattle like to graze.

Or maybe the posting was a search for more information?

The creator is a criminal, a hack and a tin foil conspiracy theorist as well as a being such a piece of shit that even CPAC told him to fuck off. There you go. It's safe to ignore this "documentary" because it's garbage, just like the rest of his work.

To insert a tweet select the ...\/ button and then select media.

Then past the url in the box. Hit continue and it should end up embedding the tweet.
EDIT:
Well that didn’t work. I swear I embedded a couple just the other day. WTF?

EDIT2:
Now it’s showing up as embedded. o_O
Quality forum upgraded.
