US Fascism Has Arrived Thanks to 30 Years of Right-Wing Talk Radio Dominance | Common Dreams

The GOP hold on most of American radio seems pretty unshakable, but Democrats must get into the talk-radio game before ever more damage is done.

    Honestly radio is dying much like television.

    Podcasting is the better space to get going.

    Also tictoc.

    We need to get the young folks of the incel pipeline .

      Joe Rogan and other right-wing cranks.

      Also tictoc.

      A significant part of the rise of fascism in Europe among young people.

      Anyway I do like podcasts, and it’s full of good content (and so is tiktok presumably) but neither are lacking right-wing content.

        It’s better in my opinion to meet people where they’re at. Radio isn’t where they’re at. That was my point.

        The Majority Report on YouTube is fantastic.

        The Daily Beans.

        Beau of the Fifth Column.

        I’ve Had it Podcast.

        Vaush.

        Pod Save America.

        Bad Hasbara.

        There are many more, but it’s a matter of putting ears and eyes on where they need to be.

      Getting young folks off the incel pipeline is going to be really tough in today’s environment.

      Incel is the new fat. Most of society immediately treats them like scum that did it to themselves. In a lot of cases both fat people and incels are at fault, but trashing them isn’t going to fix the issues.

      Your need to understand them and how they got there to try and change them or at least reduce new ones from being created. Not just hate them.

        Most of the podcasts I listed represent counter arguments that may help. There’s no simple way to change thought, but exposure to counter messaging, might bring about change.
