Huh, so if I stand around near you with a big bowl, I can get some free organs? Sweet!

(also yes, the only good news reporting these days comes from random high-effort blog posts on Substack)

I feel it, too.

I prefer to use neutral sources like actual actions, voting records, and other public information - but that is too complicated for the average American with a sixth grade level reading and emotional intelligence.

I am finding the level of education seems to be a bit higher on Lemmy than other platforms, so I am considering not recommending them here.

Those are very fair criticisms.

I think Meidas is trying to get the message out to the folks who are sub-sixth grade English skills and therefore they use more emotional content to connect with the folks who are…less intellectual/less able to really understand the depth of what is going on from a reading perspective. They also try to appeal to the Gen Z audience, which is definitely annoying but also necessary.

They do these things because that is where the left’s messaging fails- at emotional people, at Gen Z, and at lower education levels.

Aaron Parnas is doing a good job, and is a lot less emotional on his TikTok and Substack. He may be a good resource as well.

As a Canadian this is why I'm appealed when people want to defund CBC.
