I'm not sure why, other than not being able to break a new habit they both formed when the site was down that both Second and Ted have taken to the Tag section like wildfire now. Second never used to post there at all, and Ted usually only posted random gifs and dumb political cartoons. But now they both run that thing like a printing press every day.

I know they love being able to gang up on me there and say a bunch of insults that they wouldn't even put in the RWED, knowing that it will age off fairly quickly, especially with how many posts they're both making there everyday now.

I don't suppose I'll be making updates to this thread a regular thing, since Ted and Second will likely either grow bored of posting crap in the Tags, or once I start chronicling them here they will stop. But we've already lost some real bangers, and I figure why not keep a record of everything, shall we?




2-19-2026:

THG: Three surveys conducted in late January and early February all point in the same direction: more voters now believe Mr Trump is performing worse than Mr Biden.


THG: Tariffs add up to $6,000 to new car inventory

second: 6ixStringJack wrote: "No links from Ted, either in the tags or the RWED. Because he knows that I'll fucking tear them apart like I always do his clickbait bullshit." 6ix, are you convinced that there is less reason to arrest Trump than a Prince of England? The arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on his 66th birthday is the latest development in the years-long controversy over his ties to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Trump's arrest would prove that the US is on the right track.

6ixStringJack: Shut the fuck up, Second. Trump is never getting arrested. He's more likely to serve a 3rd Term as President than be arrested. You've lost every court case against him. Those that haven't been appealed and thrown out, will be. Just as they all have been so far, and just like I told you they would be. You two are pathetic fucking losers. This is the rest of your life now. Crying like two little bitches every day for the rest of your lives.

THG: Trump Gets DEVASTATING NEWS from Federal Reserve

THG: Poor Gilligan. He is too stupid to realize that what I post here are headlines. All anyone need do is copy and paste my post to get to the story. Jack the loser

THG: Trump Epstein abuse claims explode as key file ‘snuck through’ | Scott Lucas

6ixStringJack: Headlines full of bullshit. It's why you always lose, loser. It's why you will always continue to lose, loser. Your world is dead. It's gone. It's never coming back. I can't wait until June and watch your spiritual death when you realize the truth of all of my words.

6ixStringJack: And that's why you hide in the tag section now. Because this stuff ages off immediately and we don't get to keep anymore records of your daily ass kickings, and we won't be able to look back on all of them and laugh in your face.

6ixStringJack: It's not as if you had anything meaningful to add to any of your Headlines in the RWED anyway. You have the writing ability of a 2nd grader, and zero critical thinking skills. You are a worthless human being. And now that the Democratic Party is dead and never coming back, you have no purpose in life at all.

6ixStringJack: And look at you two. So desparate now that even after years of Ted trying to form an alliance with Second who didn't even acknowledge his existence, you're both teamed up because you're trapped in the corner you both painted yourself into. There's no path for either of you to ever win again, and there's not even any way for you to run from your past either. You're going down with your ship. And the world will be a much better place when it finally sinks, forever.



second: Someone should tell Pam Bondi that while Nixon didn’t go to prison, his Attorney General did.

6ixStringJack: Fuck Pam Bondi.

second: 6

I am afraid SIX that fell into THG's trap. He posted one thing over and over and my buttons just pushed. I am sure there will be a response but I am not going to.

Well that's exactly what he intended, and why he posted that headline 20 times. Emotional manipulation. Just like the "journalists" who wrote that article.

Nobody in the entire US on either side wants to see ICE have anything to do with Native Americans.

But our Democrats are a very, very racist party and that is evidenced by the fact that they can't go a single day without trying to emotionally manipulate minorities and pit everyone against each other.


If you read the story, there's nothing of actual substance to it at all. In fact, it doesn't really say anything.

a-sioux-tribe
/

Just more sloganering and race baiting.

Divide and Conquer.

It's all the Democrats have left.




You've been around long enough to know that I was fiercely against the GWB administration. That's not to say that I was ever a Democrat, but I am certainly not a Republican, and I will never label myself as such.

You have my word that if ICE is actually making it a point to go into Native American lands and start rounding them up, I'm going to have something to say about it.

That is not happening. This is TIME Magazine trying to rile a bunch of rich, white, college "educated" people up in a frenzy to keep going out on the streets to burn cars and blow shit up.


Please, Brenda. Don't feel the need to apologize to me for anything. But when Ted tries to emotionally manipulate and or blackmail you into something, look into what it is he's posting and see for yourself what is in the article of the headline he is mindlessly spamming. He certainly didn't. I doubt very much he is even capable of reading the article because there are at least 20 words in it that he doesn't even know the definition for.

And remember that 2 days from now Ted will have already read 100 more anti-Trump headlines and watched another 3 dozen anti-Trump clickbait trash videos and he won't even remember this issue was something TIME wrote about in the first place.

Yeah, I know better. I didn't fall for the other thing he posted in tag a good while ago. But today I forgot all of that.

Tried to read the article but had a hard time. So, I gave up on it.

Like the old saying goes Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me.

Welp, I do have egg on my face. Back to ignoring him.

Yeah... I know you didn't. I saw that bait but I think he only posted it one or two times and didn't spam the hell out of the tags with it like he did this time.

That all happened after or during while I was putting this thread together, so I'm really glad that I made this thread just so we had this dialog. I know you don't like being involved in any of this and I do my best to respect that and keep you out of it. But I'm glad you came in here because I really think it's important that you see what's really going on here.

That's exactly as the articles are designed to be, Brenda.

Intentionally obfuscate everything. Put in so much contradictory stuff that it makes your head spin and either walk away no more knowledgeable than you were before you tried or make you give up entirely. 20 paragraphs of nothing is what most of these articles end up being, and any real truth they put in them usually take up about 2 or 3 of the last 5 paragraphs in most of them, where most people who even bother trying to read the articles have already given up.

This trains behavior to stop bothering even to read the articles and just read the headlines and repeat them and repost them. It's why there are studies out there showing that 75% of the articles that are shared on social media sites like Facebook are never opened before they're passed on to other friends and family members. Everyone is just sharing headlines with each other. The 20 paragraphs of nothing is just a delivery vehicle for the Headline they want people believing is the truth.

No worries. I'm not judging at all. I get it. I wasn't born immune to all of this. It took some learning. It took some actual book reading, like the amazing book "Amusing Ourselves To Death" to open up my third eye to all the manipulation tactics that have been used against all of us long before any of us living today were even born.

But as you saw, he went immediately to attacking you, just like we knew he would.

He's as racist as they come, as most of the middle and upper class, white, college "educated" folk are. They talk the talk all the time, yet they live in exclusionary neighborhoods with the motto "Not in My Back Yard". They scream for de-funding the police, and then walk away to put on their new "Pin of the Week" and forget completely about those minority neighborhoods that fell into complete chaos when the cops disappeared and the Legacy Media goes complete blackout on all of the good black people in the more dangerous neighborhoods that are begging to be heard and are begging for the police to come back.

They'll tell you all day, every day that they care, but when any of you step one hair out of line from what they believe, they immediately turn on you and shame you and use your race against you. "How dare you not agree with me that these other people aren't Super Mega Nazi Hitler because they disagreed with me??? You're a minority and everything I say is what you should believe!!!!! You must be a no good dirty race traitor!!!!!"


It's shit like this why nobody takes them seriously anymore. Everyone is opening their eyes to this now. They see who the real authoritarians are and always were. Who the bullies were. The ones calling everyone else sexist or racist or nazi are the ones who actually behave that way. Neither Ted nor Second have ever had a real conversation with you before. And that might not even be out of racisim in particular. It is because they are both incapable of having a real conversation wit

OMG I'm glad I missed all that.

THGR can get under my skin, with his relentless trolling. I try to ignore him as much as possible, but it's not easy.

Yanno, I wonder if "THGR" isn't a joint effort. Old posts were coherent, they had a point, and the spelling was good. It's like a similarly-named account was later created by someone about 50 IQ points lower, where he brays endlessly like a jackass.

You do a good job about keeping me out of it. This is on me. I walked into it. That is not your fault.

I do try to read the article but ignore the headlines.

I know and I figured he would. But I just had to walk into it.
I've heard the "Not in my backyard" thing a good portion of my life and it stinks.

Been there and done that with the "shut up and be a good little Indian". It leaves you wondering and it makes you angry.

It was important and I think we can both let it lay.



Sounds good to me, Brenda.

I'm really glad you took the time to check that article out though and see what I mean. There's just so much of that type of manipulation in the media today that it's hard to trust anything any of them say. Adding AI to everything now is even going to muddy those waters further.

But that's their tactic. Pure emotional manipulation, on full blast every day from every direction all at once. It's easy to get swept up into it and become a cultist like they did with Ted and Second.


If your library has it, I seriously, HIGHLY recommend "Amusing Ourselves to Death", by Neil Postman.

Here's a breif synopsis from Google AI:

Quote:

Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman argues that television has transformed public discourse, reducing serious subjects like politics, news, and history to mere entertainment through visual imagery, ultimately making citizens passive consumers of trivialized information. Published in 1985, the book critiques how the medium of television, with its emphasis on entertainment, dictates the form and substance of public communication, leading to a decline in rational, complex debate.

Central Thesis:

The book's core argument is that the shift from a print-based culture to a television-based culture has fundamentally altered how we think and engage with information, prioritizing amusement over substance.

Key Idea:

Postman contends that television's format, which favors short, visually stimulating segments, makes it impossible for complex ideas to be discussed meaningfully, turning everything into a form of show business.

Impact:

It's considered a seminal work in media criticism, warning that a society obsessed with entertainment risks losing its capacity for critical thought and civic engagement.



Now... I read the 1985 original version that my local-paper journalist Uncle had in the collection he left behind in my Grandma's basement when I was living there. The version that you will probably find is going to be one of I believe 2 or even 3 updates he's made to it over the years to include modern technology that wasn't available back in 1985.

I read it back when I was probably around 23 years old, and it was because of Postman's book that I went on to read Orwell's 1984 and Huxley's Brave New World, since it was obvious he thought very highly of both of those books. To this day, 1984 is the single scariest thing I've ever read in my life. And 20 years later with the tech available today it is just that much more scary.

Orwell's Animal Farm is probably the 2nd most terrifying read of my life.

In the case of Animal Farm, it goes deep into the lore behind the creation of little real-life monsters like Ted and Second and just how easily they are created and weaponized like they have been.


If you're reading this too, Sigs, I highly recommend you read Amusing Ourselves to Death as well.





And you could be right about Ted, I dunno. Every once in a while he posts something uncharacteristically coherent and well thought out without all the regular punctuation, grammar, spelling and general misuses of the English language, but unlike in the case of Second, I've never been able to catch Ted in the act of ever actually plagiarizing other people's work. It's pretty easy for m

Plenty of clickbait bullshit and Second nonsense in the tags again today. I had stuff to do though so they kind of just mindlessly bumped around and posted random, daily Trump hate porn to jerk each other off with.

Ted can't even be bothered to remove the question marks from the text of his half-in-upper-case, daily dopamine delivery vehicles... which is pretty funny.

"Did BLAH, BLAH, BLAH just DESTROY Trump's BLAH, BLAH, BLAH!?!?!"

C'mon, dude. If they're going to leave the read-the-fine-print / read-between-the-lines part of their title that they're probably legally required to do so they don't get their asses sued into oblivion for the lies they tell you every day, the least you can fuckin' do is remove those question marks before you post them here and try to present them as "facts".



Two dumbest fucking people I've ever known, these idiots.




Anyhow...

Here's the only worthwhile thing to add to the thread today:


second: Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War, and other relevant Departments and Agencies, to begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and any and all other information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters. GOD BLESS AMERICA! [go to link] Unless extraterrestrials have been raping kids, we don’t care. What's significant about this directive from Trump about government disclosure regarding extraterrestrial life is that only about half of the Epstein files have been released.


6ixStringJack: Why would you care about literal aliens raping kids when you don't give a shit about any of the women kidnapped and/or raped and/or murdered by Joe Biden*'s criminal illegal alien invaders? You don't care about any kids, and you never did. They only became a "concern" of yours when you were told that you can use them as a weapon. I can assure you, this isn't really the case though, and you're playing right into Trump's hands. If you haven't figured it out by now, you probably never will, but that dude is pulling rabbits out of hats that even I never saw coming. And just as always, he's got you unwittingly doing his bidding and he doesn't even have to pay you to work for him. Keep on doing exactly what you've been doing, Second. It's all clearly worked out exceedingly well for you up to this point, right?
