Kyrie does this in Brooklyn! As if the season ticket issues are not bad enough. Issue promoting far out theories is few people take the time to look into the facts. Instead they are impressionable by lazy ignorance.
This week we learned of Kanyes infatuation with Hitler. He opened a school last year and likes to boast he don’t read books but is quite fond of “mein kompf”. WTF?
“Ye” lost quite a bit of his wealth and now will pull the “Mental health” card out and ask for forgiveness. Fact is if you build your brand in celebrity in part your very vulnerable to losing it because of it. He music was good. His brands obviously sold well. He paints himself into a corner then double dog dared Adidas. Threw Gasoline on the fire.
Bad enough but he could have walked it back. Nope, he doubled down.
His “death Con 3” because there was some very bad Jewish band managers that ripped off black artists was out of line. he painted is as if non jewish ones were all not guilty of similar and he painted it as a conspiracy. The pushback was legit. There were and are bad managers of all races and religions. Promoting part truths is very dangerous.
“White Lives matter” t-shirts in fashion show? Really? Is his marketing plan to alienate Jews, moderates, LBGT, liberal and Black consumers and sell mostly to right wing/neo Nazi groups who love him now? What better for a white supremacy group than to rally around a black man promoting their agenda! Kayne is a Chappelle show skit. The racist blind black KKK speaking to rallys who does not know he is black.
Kyrie begging out of brooklyn? Does LA or others really want this shit for brains moron?
About 22%, almost one of every 4 brooklyn residents is Jewish. Can’t spit in the face of your ticket buying fan base and think its a good idea.

I mean... Louise CK did worse and he's back to doing comedy specials. I mean... Yeah he needs help. But we should monitor the situation.

Promoting nonsensical antisemitic propaganda in New York City -- brilliant.
I think Sports media is doing a way better job of promoting "Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America" than Irving ever did.
I didn't even KNOW about it until ESPN reported on it on Thursday, all day Friday, all day Saturday and now Sunday morning.

You actually have a point. Kyrie is a nut job but while they are going after him, all they’ve done is promote that dvd the vast majority of people didn’t know exists. More people know about it now than would have ever known about it based on a Kyrie tweet.
Honestly it’s a off topic, but from the sounds of it Musk is going to make Twitter basically a social media Chan site because there will not be any moderation. That always leads to idiots and racist coming to Pg ether. It’s going to get really nasty before people come to terms with that and deplatform. Kyrie was just ahead of the curve.

And we'll be the better for it. Speech should never be moderated. If something is wrong-headed, it should be countered with a better more informed argument. That's how progress gets made and people grow. I'm no fan of billionaires but I'm certainly a fan of Musk in this context (and a few others).

Exactly. I never heard of this documentary but will take a look now just to form an opinion of it for myself.
What the heck is going on?!?!

I agree that ideally speech should always be free and not moderated. I also feel like that worked pretty well until just a few years ago. Lately I'm stuck about this issue because while the majority of citizens take the time (and possess the intellectual capacity) to refute illogical statements - there seems to be a larger percentage of people who just follow blindly and/or are tied to their political/religious/conspiracy-type beliefs.
This combination seems to result in a larger portion of people believing basically whatever is put out there (regardless of truth/accuracy). While it's always been there - it's grown exponentially since Trump first ran and continues to progress. So while I agree with you and ideally believe in not censoring - I'm not sure what to think to reduce this misinformation being truth issue that seems to keep growing. The impact can potentially have horrific consequences. How many of us are headed into the midterms thinking regardless of what the results are - there will just be an increase in aggression/violence to impact the results.
I'm a registered independent that leans Democratic on the majority of issues (esp socially). A part of me almost prefers the Repubs win due to what I perceive to be likely coming (eg more violence, further political polarization) if the Dems do well at the mid-terms. I'm not sure how in touch I am with the state of the world these days - but I often feel like we're approaching a hole that will be unable to climb out of...
Hope he enjoys trying to recoup the $23 billion

The idea of "misinformation" being some new-age invention is grossly misguided. It's something that is core to the American experience and a tool frequently utilized by the white establishment from Day-1, lest we forget "all men are created equal"....while the country practiced slavery. From the characterization of indigenous peoples as being the ones that were "blood-thirsty savages", to the promotion of concepts of racial superiority, to lies that either helped start/maintain wars of fortune (e.g. the sinking of the USS Maine to start Spanish-American War, Gulf of Tonkin for Vietnam; Vietnam Papers), misinformation has continued to present day; maybe better recalled as "propaganda". Just in my lifetime as a millenial, I've been lied to about Iraq having WMDs, c*vid vaccines being effective/safe, Russ*a rigging our elections, truth-tellers like Julian Ass*nge and Eddy Sn*wden being slandered and a gang of other shit I'll avoid naming for the sake of brevity. So why pretend like this is some pressing issue that needs to be regulated by the very same people that are progenitors of the most egregious examples of "misinformation"?

So while I agree with you and ideally believe in not censoring - I'm not sure what to think to reduce this misinformation being truth issue that seems to keep growing. The impact can potentially have horrific consequences. How many of us are headed into the midterms thinking regardless of what the results are - there will just be an increase in aggression/violence to impact the results.
I'm a registered independent that leans Democratic on the majority of issues (esp socially). A part of me almost prefers the Repubs win due to what I perceive to be likely coming (eg more violence, further political polarization) if the Dems do well at the mid-terms. I'm not sure how in touch I am with the state of the world these days - but I often feel like we're approaching a hole that will be unable to climb out of...
The idea of "misinformation" being some new-age invention is grossly misguided. It's something that is core to the American experience and a tool frequently utilized by the white establishment from Day-1, lest we forget "all men are created equal"....while the country practiced slavery. From the characterization of indigenous peoples as being the ones that were "blood-thirsty savages", to the promotion of concepts of racial superiority, to lies that either helped start/maintain wars of fortune (e.g. the sinking of the USS Maine to start Spanish-American War, Gulf of Tonkin for Vietnam; Vietnam Papers), misinformation has been present maybe better recalled as "propaganda". Just in my lifetime alone as a millenial, I've been lied to about Iraq having WMDs, c*vid vaccines being effective/safe and a gang of other shit I'll avoid naming for the sake of brevity. So why pretend like this is some pressing issue that needs to be regulated by the very same people that are progenitors of the most egregious examples of "misinformation"?
You were lied to about the covid vaccine being safe? 5 billion people have taken the vaccine where is this epidemic of myocarditis Joe Rogan and the people who know everything keep saying is bound to happen?
And in spite my central point and of all the things I mentioned, this is what you object to...
I’m just wondering why I haven’t come down with a severe case of myocarditis nor covid after getting the experimental globalist vaccine
I'm not sure but hopefully there's a gold star in it for you.

Based on your previous statements in this paragraph, it does seem like you are incredibly out of touch. Quite frankly it’s mind boggling to me.
