"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.
