Q: Does PragerU teach history based on peer-reviewed, evidence-based research?

YOU CAN’T SAY THE B WORD, THAT’S CLASSIST!

Anybody else worried that PragerU is using lefty language in their propaganda?
glockenspiel@programming.dev 9 months ago
A tale as old as time. Rightists aren’t original, which is why their media/comedians/movies/music/religions are terrible.
Fascists cannot grow without co-opting leftist language. So yes, very worried.
Khotetsu@lib.lgbt 9 months ago
It’s also a very clever and awful propaganda strategy. They misuse words with important meanings until they become useless reactionary buzzwords. Like how woke, and politically correct before it, originally meant “to be aware of the unequal treatment of minorities in society” and “politicians should be aware of how the language they use affects people,” and now they both just mean “anything that I, as a conservative, don’t like.”

Idk a lot of vocabulary now used by leftist too come from 4chan. Seems like everyone just takes from everyone
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Nope, because they always will. Leftist language builds credibility then conservatives adapt it to spend it all. It’s a well established cycle.

It’s called being a reactionary
MindSkipperBro12@lemmy.world 9 months ago
My best guess is that it’s trying to mock the left
21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 9 months ago
I’m not even sure whether or not this is satire and I’m not going to give Prager the page visit to see.

Why is this downvoted?? PragerU is trash
frezik@midwest.social 9 months ago
You know how every politcal poll has a few percent of responses that don’t make any sense? Like a person who identifies as atheist, but also says the church should play a greater role in government?
Sometimes, random downvotes are like that. Don’t get too worked up about it.
Norgur@kbin.social 9 months ago
But mentally deranged trash. So not everyone will see it as such. Which is weird, but humans are better at not believing regular trash than they are at not believing mind bogglingly stupid trash...

Billionaires don’t like being called ‘billionaires 🤬’, they prefer ‘billionares 😍’

Wait... so calling a rich fuck "Bitchassionaire" is bad?

Prager feels like The Onion, but it’s not, and it’s really sad, but also funny.

“person of means” is just… believable. I hate it.

“Alegria”. It’s super awful.

Aka Corporate Memphis. The general corporate instruction video style.
MossyFeathers@pawb.social 9 months ago
I’ve also heard it referred to as Corporate Memphis. Fitting, since it’s a shitty, soulless appropriation of the Memphis Group’s style.

They’re calling it “financially paired” now? Republicans really will do anything to avoid calling it gay marriage…

Not sure, but quick googling says this is at least 3 years old so it would be kinda hard to find.

Good point. I think “oligarch” is more accurate.
