"Societies have always been shaped more by the nature of the media by which men communicate than by the content of the communication"
-Marshall McLuhan
from Google AI:
Nietzsche viewed journalism and newspapers critically, seeing them as symbols of a societal "debasement" driven by mass media and "slave morality" that prioritized superficiality and the "permanent false alert" of fleeting news over true wisdom. He condemned the journalist as a "paper slave of the day" who epitomizes the intellectual shallowness of Alexandrian culture. However, his critiques are not an outright rejection of media but a call for suspicion towards its power and a deeper consideration of its role in shaping modern life and truth.

"I learned basically nothing in college".
That sounds very plausible.
As per the animation, Benz was bald as a college student. Mystere (due to being an idiot) must hate him for this reason only. He is constantly insulting men as "baldies" and Benz is definitely bald.
"Democracy just means blob control".
Copilot: ...when Benz calls democracy "blob control", he’s suggesting that popular will is irrelevant -- real power lies with the Blob, and elections merely reshuffle figureheads while the machinery grinds on.
The irony is that this worldview delegitimizes democracy in order to save it. It treats institutions like checks and balances, civil rights, and pluralism as obstacles rather than safeguards. And it replaces the idea of governance with a hero myth -- where only a strongman can slay the Blob.
It’s not just political -- it’s mythic. And that’s why it resonates so deeply with those who feel alienated, betrayed, or unheard.
"Maria Ressa was basically a hit piece for hire. She was a spook journalist. Their asset in the Philippines".
Copilot: ...Mike Benz’s labeling of Maria Ressa as an “asset journalist” or “spook for hire” is part of a broader rhetorical strategy he uses to frame certain media figures as extensions of intelligence or regime-change apparatuses. But as of now, there’s no public evidence to substantiate those claims. It’s a narrative move, not a forensic one.

Mike Benz has revealed the evidence. He does it 24/7/365. Even the George Kennan charters have been exposed. Its entirely "forensic". Did you watch the ironically named US Institute for Peace riot training videos? Totally forensic. Even the institutional names are deliberate misnomers. "National Endowment for Democracy (NED)" actually promotes American Imperialism by overthrowing democracies.
As for your Co-Pilot...South Park pegged it.
Why do you think that Conservatives like Benz, et al, were being censored (as exposed in the Twitter files)?
What was the "Shadow ban" all about? Covid MISinformation? THAT all came from the CDC.
"Twitter Files" = rightturd hoax.
I saw the South Park episode and (1) the featured AI was ChatGTP. (2) it made fun of people who put too much stock in what AI says. It clearly states when you open the interface that AI can make mistakes. It is a TOOL like google. It is an information aggregator whose conclusions you should evaluate yourself. (3) South Park exaggerated for comedic effect the AI ass kissing. (4) Your video criticizes donald trump.
"In the B plot, tech leaders and politicians suck up to trump".
The narcissist donald trump demands Sickofancy from those around him. So, YES, South Park DID nail it.
Consider the source. :)
Power corrupts. Absolute power (AI) corrupts absolutely.
Why? Because Power and Authority is derived from secrecy, NOT openness. How do you think NED and USAID overthrew so many governments? They kept their objectives, sources, and methods SECRET.
Does ChatGPT disclose secrets? Or just common stupidities?
All Power lies in the Cloak of Gyges. In the hiding and only partial revelation of secrets.
...narratives to HIDE the evidence.
So, given that you offered no pushback in regards to the South Park criticism and portrayal of donald trump, I should take it that you agree with their take? Though, donald trump being a raging narcissist with grandiose delusions beyond compare, is likely a quality about him that you admire.
I'm supposed to defend Trump's small penis? Billionaire sycophants? I've always said he's an asshole. I simply emphasize that he's OUR asshole. And you embarrassed him at the WH Correspondents Dinner, and he's been getting even every years since.
So yes, I defend him. He's the only thing standing between us and this idiot, the one YOU will be allied with after 2028 when the UniParty gets the band back together.. @@
If it's JD Vance you have a valid point. When it comes to assholery yeah, he's worse. A Christian Nationalist who morphed into his current mushroom sucking state only because he lists after power and control in a Chriatian Fundamentalst government based in mythology.
However, my integrity will no allow me to support a lying malignant narcissist with fascist authoritarian design.
American politics, especially the trumpublican cult, are nothing if its not confusion, bullsh*t, lies, and greed. But at least democrats haven't lost the ability to reason and they maintain senmblence of decency.
And BTW, no need to respond.
But you'll applaud Mike Pence whenever he disses the Trumpster. You have Tegridy, not integrity.
Mike Pence is a Christianist Turd.
But at least he is a Christian Turd who in the final moment did the right thing. Purifying some of his karma.
Yeah, Pence walked into Pelosi's Robert's Rules of Order J6 procedural coup and never got Trump's Electors certified.
The asshole insurectionist did not win 2020. But I realize being a dickhead conspiratorial nutcase you freely accept the biggest lie ever told.
What a schmuck.
We'll never know. Pelosi's fake "bomb plot" interruption got replaced by some Larpers and the elector challenge/ credentialling arguments were never heard.
Minus: So yes, I defend him. He's the only thing standing between us and this idiot [JD Vance], the one YOU will be allied with after 2028 when the UniParty gets the band back together.. @@
Democrats won't ally with JD Vance.
Minus: Pelosi's fake "bomb plot" interruption got replaced by some Larpers and the elector challenge/ credentialling arguments were never heard.
🐂💩
Those are two of your most inane delusions. But you have MANY inane delusions.

That narrative -- claiming Nancy Pelosi used parliamentary procedures on January 6, 2021 to block Republicans from successfully challenging electors and installing Trump as president -- is not supported by the historical record or the legal framework governing the certification of electoral votes.
🧠 Breaking Down the Claim.
Parliamentary Procedure on Jan. 6: The joint session of Congress on January 6 followed long-established procedures under the Electoral Count Act of 1887, which allows members of Congress to object to a state’s electoral votes. If an objection is raised and signed by at least one member from both the House and Senate, each chamber must debate it for up to two hours and then vote. This process was followed for objections to Arizona and Pennsylvania’s electors.
Pelosi’s Role: As Speaker of the House, Pelosi presided over the House chamber but did not control the joint session or override the rules. The Speaker pro tempore (Eric Swalwell, appointed by Pelosi) helped facilitate the session, but the procedures were consistent with precedent. No evidence suggests Pelosi used procedural tricks to block legitimate objections.
“Credentialling Arguments”: The idea that Republicans had a viable legal pathway to replace Biden electors with Trump electors is not supported by constitutional law. States had already certified their results, and any alternate slates of electors submitted without state authorization were not legally valid. Courts rejected dozens of lawsuits challenging the election results, and no state legislature formally decertified its electors.
Would It Have Worked?
Even if Republicans had succeeded in objecting to more states, they lacked the votes in both chambers to overturn the results. The Constitution and Electoral Count Act do not allow Congress to unilaterally replace certified electors with alternate ones. The Vice President’s role is ceremonial, and the law was later clarified to reinforce that point.

🧠 Narrative Mechanics at Play.
“Only I can fix it” as doctrine: Trump’s 2016 line has evolved from campaign rhetoric into quasi-religious dogma for some supporters. It implies that no institution, no successor, and no election can replicate his role. Anyone who follows him -- even handpicked allies like Vance -- is suspect.
The Uniparty as mythic villain: This isn’t just bipartisan compromise -- it’s a fusion of elites, a deep state hydra that survives every administration. In this frame, elections are theater, and Trump is the only figure who disrupted the script.
Post-Trump apocalypse: The blogger’s fear isn’t just political loss -- it’s ontological collapse. Without Trump, the movement doesn’t evolve; it vanishes. Vance isn’t continuity -- he’s capitulation. The hope that Trump will “dismantle democracy” isn’t about tyranny -- it’s about ending the illusion of choice and restoring what they see as authentic rule.
[end]
Copilot's analysis seems accurate to me. donald trump MUST dismantle democracy (the uniparty/deep state/administrative state) and get rid of elections to "save" America. Yes?
