The satirical news site planned to turn Infowars into a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” who peddle conspiracy theories and health supplements.
It’ll be fucking hilarious but it’s not gonna break them out of their bubble. Not even if they give a speech at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner, assuming we ever have one again.
I don’t know that they can be broken out at this point. We’ve reached near-Heaven’s Gate levels. They just haven’t all drank the poison at the orders of Dear Leader yet.
Ladies and gentlemen, great patriots all across this occupied country of the former United States of America- it’s time now for us to take the fight to the devil directly.
Last night, I woke up and God told me it was 4 a.m. I was literally told, “Go look at the clock. It’s 4a.m. Get up, and go look at your phone.”
Four AM! I’m like, This is really God! and God goes “Yeah. And I told you 45 seconds ago, now 15 countdown!”
And by the time I was like, bluhbluhbluhbluh okay it’s been about 3 so 12, 11, 10, 9… and this happened! On my children! And right at zero, bloop! Four-oh-one! And I’m sitting there while I’m looking at the phone, pissing, at 4:01 going My God! Literally directly communicating with me in space live time!
And then he told me to sell to all the patriots the Final Supplement! And it will give us the power to fight the Devil because we’re gonna win! So go over to drjonesnaturals.scam and buy all of them! Give them to your wife! Your daughter. Your dog- you don’t want to leave Fido here with the Satanic Globalists, do you? They’ll be on sale for the rest of the month.

That’s an honest question. There was a recent F.D. signifier video on edgewood films and if satire works or not.
To save you an hour: While yes, satire is funny and informative for those of us on the left, and they show a great degree of well made art which you should enjoy, those who support what’s being satired aren’t impacted. Rather they ignore the overall message and cheer on the negative aspects being made fun off. Which wouldn’t be a problem if it didn’t amp up terrible aspects (violence against marginalized groups, for instance) and thus end up getting people hurt and/or killed.
Agreed, but it’s still a good watch. . He has a relevant degree (sociology?) and was a social worker for a while so his perspective is still worthwhile.
Does that matter?

I don’t know that a YouTube video is the best way to determine that. I’d like to see some peer-reviewed evidence.

Sure would be nice if social science were complete, and we could say with scientific certainty the effect of any given social activity.
Here are a couple published articles that attempt to get at that question, more research required tho.
