              The way I understand is… The website uses different servers/instances to do its thing. Some work better than others. Refreshing the page usually changes the instance in use. I could be wrong though.

          What? You’ve never been there where you can’t hear somebody say something and you’re like, “oh yeah for sure” because you need to move on.

          Seriously, listen to the guy. He sounds like talking with no teeth and a mouth full of marbles.

          I don’t know who this guy is, but his biggest faux pas here is saying, “I agree,” instead of “ok,” or something else.

          Edit: oh never mind, after watching again this guy was asking leading questions. He’s a shit journalist.

          Anyway, fuck this guy, but not for that part. I honestly believe he didn’t understand what ol’ Fatface Marblemouth there was saying because I didn’t either even while not having to deal with all the background noise.

          Edit 2: The downvotes tell me that tribalism is alive and well on the left. There’s plenty of things to criticize republicans on, why waste your time and energy getting mad about this? By showing you’re opponents zero understanding as human beings you’re also showing that you’ve fallen for the diversionary tactics used by those to keep us fighting amongst each other.

            If he only said it the first time, I’d agree with you that it’s possible. But he said it, and then said it again more clearly. I’m sorry, but you can’t chalk this up to “he didn’t understand/hear.” If it were really loud there, even, and he said it twice, maybe you’d have a point. But it was not very loud where they were standing.

            Not to mention, he had the context of the conversation they were having. He was trying to goad them into spouting their rhetoric. There’s no way, given the context, the volume of the area, the fact that he said it twice…I’m sorry, you can’t buy his bullshit back peddling.

            I think exactly what they’d hope would happen has happened: create a controversy to become the new OAN. I, for sure, had never heard of “far right news” or whatever the fuck the name of that “network” was.

              Yeah I get what you’re saying, but just yesterday at work I asked a guy to repeat himself and I did the whole “ok yeah gotcha” thing when I didn’t understand what he said even the second time. It happens.

              I’m not saying this guy isn’t a piece of shit, I’m just saying this incident isn’t the one to nail him on. The whole, “the globalists? The lefties?” or whatever the exact quote was is much more egregious in my opinion. A reporter shouldn’t be influencing people’s opinions.

              I agree with you about the context. I can tell this guy is part of the problem in America, I’m just not going to condemn him for something I did just yesterday. 🤷🏻‍♂️

                Come on, you can’t be that naive. Yes, misunderstandings happen. But what are the chances that this reporter had a misunderstanding exactly when it was most politically expedient for him?

                There is this weird thing people do in modern politics, where the people that have the same political beliefs they do can just never be wrong. People have their team, and everything that comes out of anyone with the same color shirt on or the right letter next to their name is suddenly defensible, no matter how obviously silly or ridiculous.

                Like communists will defend every single massacre perpetrated under the banner of communism. It’s absolutely insane. Just admit that people who you agree with can do/say things that are just wrong. It’s not that hard. And it doesn’t make your convictions less your convictions.

              I mean, he could be lying. I’m just saying it’s not unbelievable that he didn’t understand what he was “agreeing” too because it’s loud and the moron he’s talking to can barely speak.

              I don’t fucking care if he meant it or not. Everyone’s right that he’s a shit journalist. My point is that you could get on his case about the other obvious propaganda tactics in the video instead of the one that will never gain traction and I can’t believe that me making fun of old Marblemouth there led to me being called a Nazi in the comments. 🙄🙄🙄

                  Then I’m like “meh, it was loud. Maybe he didn’t actually understand what he was saying.” and now I’m a Nazi. 🙄

              No, Marblemouth said that. The guy’s a bad reporter and a reporter should never say, “I agree,” but rushing to condemn him over that is just as tribalistic as supporting him because he’s a, “right wing reporter.” (A thing that shouldn’t exist)

              If you really want to get him fired I’m sure he’s done way worse shit than not hear somebody.

                  And I was talking about how it’s not unreasonable to believe that the reporter couldn’t hear Marblemouth in a loud environment and wasn’t aware of what he was saying “I agree” too.

                  Marblemouth can go fuck himself and if that’s what you’re bitching at me about then at least be on the same page.

                  And you know what? Marblemouth votes. Do you?

                  Funny how people are completely ignoring the parts of my comments where I agree this guy sucks for other reasons, which are on display in the same video.

      They actually tend not to vote when it actually comes down to it. Trump was actually a bit of an exception because he was viewed almost fanatically.

      If students ever actually bothered, the left would probably win pretty much all of the time. And this is a problem in many countries, not just the United States.

      The right will always prioritize the old population (aka direct their propaganda mostly at them) because they know, for whatever reason, younger people don’t vote.

        It’s really unfortunate, but republicanism has become so ingrained into rural culture from a history of being neglected by mainstream politics that there’s basically no way for them to feel like some city liberal is actually representing their interests, because they have no idea what to actually look for policy-wise, so they simply latch onto presented relatability. And they’re really, really suceptible to conmen like trump who have a lot of hollow words and no actions to back it up.

        Second one (first into the mic) sounds like it could be jail them all. Third (seconds into the mic) is absolutely “kill them all”. Doesn’t surprise me and it’s certainly not meant literally. I’ve distance myself from a lot of friends and family that are just like that guy. Everyone of them would say America would be a better place if they could kill all the “liberals”.

            One of the last conversations I experienced back home before I left around 2000, was them figuring out how they could go kill osama bin Laden themselves since the shitty government couldn’t get it done. Even forgetting about how none of them have much more than a pot to piss in, it never takes much to remind myself why I left whenever I get homesick. They are all probably part of meal team six. It’s sad, they’re great people in a lot of ways but their really not. They hate anyone that looks different than them and are ignorant as shit. Trying to convince them of any kind of reason would be like walking up to a light pole and convincing it to lean over so you could change the bulb, it’s not going to happen and you’re just going to be out of breath and feel stupider once you finally give up and go home.
