[@renegadecut9875]

Anyone commenting "Umm, Joe Rogan isn't conservative." either hasn't watched his show in the past few years or thinks I haven't. Rogan has taken more and more right-wing positions following the 2020 election, and he keeps company with all these men. We don't live in the past. We live in the present. Don't try to fool me with common deflection talking points. I woke up earlier than you this morning.

A similar step to the right ( timewarp notwithstanding ) has been apparent in our own UK annoying fud - Russel Brand. This clarty midden has a rapey type personality concealed behind a thesaurus like ability to bullshit all who come into contact with the gaslighting cock womble. I hate him more because he tries to hide behind an enlightened hippy persona. Rogan looks and sounds like a standard meathead with alpha male issues ( does anyone still believe this shite? ffs this is a classification of wolves and their pack hierarchy ). To witness him tacking right was no surprise at all. Enjoying your channel btw

I think the brick aesthetic also comes in as cosplaying the working class through warehouse buildings. The whole genre of industrial interior design plays on being close to raw materials of the earth and insinuating that you yourself used your hands to work them into furniture lol

[@pinacolada1393]

🎵All in all it's just another brick in the wall 🎵

I think a brick wall is a necessary accoutrement for these shows. It warns viewers that they're going to be banging their heads against one if they watch too much of the ignorant and callous drivel about to be put on display.

[@peterbonucci9661]

It might also feed into the idea that manly men lay brick. A brick wall definitely gives a masculine vibe. These days only wealthy people can afford that much brick in a house.

[@Kite403]

I think the studio aesthetic they use is an attempt to call back to the radio shows of Rush Limbaugh, the modern conservative Messiah. Tom Pool especially keeps trying to have that image like he's cosplaying a Howard Stern taping

[@cosmicphoto05]

6:32 Another reason I think that conservatives and rightwingers are more pro-police/pro-military is because they not only enforce hierarchy in the areas in which they operate (within communities and geopolitics, respectively), but the institutions themselves are rigidly hierarchical by design (higher ranks give orders, lower ranks follow orders, without question), which is very appealing to the conservative/authoritarian/fascist mindset.

[@bluedotdinosaur]

It has been said that the fundamental personality which leads to views we categorize as conservative, is based on insecurity. Conservatives are highly insecure about social stability and status. They don't trust humanity. They believe people are inherently "wild" and dangerous without a firm hand pressing down on them - it's for the greater good. Societal enforcers given authority to oppress their fellow citizens are seen by the conservative mind as part of the natural structure of the only possible organization of human beings. Supporting these institutions equates packing firmer earth into the foundation of society. For the fascist-conservative, the police are more important than food and water - without order, there can be no society to manage the food in the first place so why bother?

[@goofusmaximus1482]

Technically, I will note that Tucker Carlson has a background in journalism, since his first jobs out of college (having failed to join the CIA, as he wanted), were with newspapers, and he worked in semi-respectable news outlets for around a decade as a "reasonable Republican voice", before going more right-wing right around the Obama presidency. It's probably this background that led to his first memoir openly acknowledging that his first TV appearance was based on a lie by omission: he got back from a lunch early, and rather than tell a receptionist that he knew "basically nothing" about the OJ Simpson trial, he agreed to appear on Dan Rather's 48 hours that evening as "an expert".

There's an old saying. "What you really want is where you finally go". There's a lot of reasons why a person wants to get in entertainment.

Until I finally figured out the lowest common denominator at the core of ALL conservative ideology was to preserve the status quo or expand a caste social, economic and political system based on the race, gender and religious identity politics of conservative, straight, white Christian males defined to marginalize everyone else because they believe power is a zero sum game and any equality marginalized groups gains represents a loss in power for the traditional white Christian male patriarchy. Which is why due to Americas changing racial demographics and election of the first non-white president in American history we have experienced the massive white supremacist racist backlash that resulted in a populist fascist political movement based on nationalism wiling to engage in violence to advance its political agenda that elected Donald Trump and resulted in the Jan. 6th attack on the U.S. Capital.

All the shows look the same because that’s what teenage boys often think is cool or have been conditioned to think are cool. These people decorate thier rooms for the type of people they want in them. I’m saying they are grooming young boys.

Tucker SWANSON Carlson is also the heir to the Swanson Frozen Food Empire. He has literally described his job in the past as 'keeping the peasants away from the castle gates'.

Grifting pays. P.S. Don't forget Lauren Chen and many other "Trad Conservatives" 1) Tonnes of makeup 2) Make a weird face for thumbnail 3) Complain about a very tiny thing but act like everyone on "the left" thinks that way. 4) Ask for money.

This video was super helpful to me. I want smaller less intrusive government, so I always thought of myself as conservative. After you explained what the left right divide actually is about, it made a lot of things make more sense to me. It now makes sense why I want the military and police to lose funding, it now makes sense why I want all welfare programs to get replaced with U.B.I., it now makes sense why I want more open borders for immigration and refugees. When I try to talk to my conservative peers about these topics and explain how they reduce the government oversight and help the economy and the free market, they don't listen. It now makes sense why. Thanks!

[@CorwinFound]

You sound more like a classic Libertarian. In the US Libertarian goes hand in hand with social conservatism and has a lot of cross over with the alt-right. But in the rest of the world Libertarian is generally seen as a more leftist political ideology. Because it adheres to those ideas you mentioned of actual small government, staying out of people's personal decisions, and reduced military and policing. So welcome to the Left comrade!

[@Nortarachanges]

I think UBI is a good and probably necessary idea, but there are people that need more expensive help than others. Like I don’t need as much monetary help as a single mother with diabetes who doesn’t own a home. So UBI in addition to things like disability, childcare assistance, and housing assistance makes more sense to me

[@IamSpacedad]

"Less intrusive government" from conservatives is just code for "let's make the system harder for poor people & minorities, and fill our pockets with taxpayer money by deregulating & privatizing everything." What you get out of that is more suffering, poverty, wealth inequality, and more corporate malfeasance invading people's lives.

[@gsp4prez]

@@Nortarachangeswe’ve already seen the benefits of a limited UBI in the child tax credit lowering child poverty by 40%. And corporate profits have never been higher. Never believe a conservative that says UBI won’t help or will crash the economy. It won’t.

I like to think because so many of them are failed stand-up comics, the brick wall backdrop reminds them of their days in 1980's Open-Mic Comedy Clubs (you know, before the left got too P.C.!!)

I do kinda get that thing from channels on KZbin too. You kinda can guess when you see a geeks and gamers kind of person and plenty of gaming news channels have similar looks while having certain things behind them looking slightly different.

The funniest part of all these guys trying to be hyper masculine, it’s they’re always the weakest ones. Trying so hard to over compensate, for something.

[@ethanstump]

The weak minded always try to portray strength of body. But even there it's quite often a facade, which you can usually parse through their diets. Especially when they portray such things as smoking cigars as "masculine", rather than the triathlete who is vegan.

[@kriswillman2779]

The fact that they're cosplaying as manly men despite having overly lotioned, soft baby hands is hilarious These dudes have never done a hard day's work in their lives but it's even sadder that so many people believe they're the salt of the earth.

It's the old, "Look at me, I'm just like you. We're the same, you and I. Join me, and together we will solve your problems, which are my problems too; which makes them our problems, together." And their fanbase buys into it and believes they're equal, we're the same. But they're not. They didn't struggle to get what they have. To get where they are. They were practically made to be grifters among grifters and promoted and supported by those that are against the working class. Thise the only use and work the working class to death; and then move on to the next generation of poor suckers-poor in more ways than one.
