A viral digital video promoting a wine company quenched conservative thirst for culture-war-centric messaging. But it left some hungover after realizing the stirring video was for an adult beverage and not a Republican group or politician. (Washington Examiner)
The progressive left has seized the high ground: Education, the press, government bureaucracies, pop culture, but the right has been striking back using Internet and social media with some funny and creative stuff. And they are effective. Proof? The World Controllers at Facebook throttled traffic to Diamond and Silk's page.
Here is the viral wine ad that has the conservative internet going crazy...
Conservatives are arguing this is how we need to do it: A full frontal assault on the leftwing garbage choking our culture and destroying our nation.
What say you?
I’d certainly agree that the right’s use of social media has indeed been effective.
ReplyDeleteThe ugly and deadly brew they’re selling is being guzzled down by the basket of gullibles who will buy anything.
You truly are oblivious aren't you?
DeleteYour ability to include so many logical fallacies in your short rubber/glue sentence is impressive.
DeleteRonald: your inability to back up any of your idiotic blathering with even one shred of proof or evidence is depressing, but predictable.
DeleteI’ve come to learn that truth or proof is no longer relevant to those who rely on conspiracy theory soundbites and buzzwords from FB, YouTube, and the right wing media. They just don’t penetrate that “alternative fact” world they’ve cocooned themselves in.
Delete... says the hooting baboon who still can't marshal any facts or information to support his gibberish.
DeleteIt’s unclear what specific facts you’re looking for, or you feel I owe pertaining to a web viral wine ad.
DeletePerhaps my statement of a right wing ugly and deadly brew leaves you puzzled?
I suppose I could elaborate on that but not only have we beat that horse before, historically, such mention of these realities seems to get your back in a hump.
So again, I really don’t know, other than perhaps join in on a left bashing or such, what proof or evidence (as well as what of) you are looking for, or even would accept.
So ya got nothing, as usual.
DeleteI still say he's oblivious :)
DeleteHow many caught in the clip the bit that Jackie Robinson did not play baseball for a racist baseball nation? I watched fans go nuts over Wilt Chamberlain.
ReplyDeletePolitical authenticity is fundamentally incompatible with commerical enterprise. This is as much a x-signalling exercise as anything coca-cola or nike have perpetrated.
ReplyDeleteIt is a political statement with a sponsor.
DeleteIt is authentic. Those images and video were not staged. Not manipulated.
They were curated.
DeleteI don't fully agree with Bill Hicks, but he has a point. Do a commercial, there's a price on your head, everything you say is suspect...
While I agree with you "definitionally", "Authenticity" is extremely inauthentic. Authenticity consists of a made-up "identity" like a Super-Ego/Ego Ideal. It's a lot like the Democratic Party's self-righteousness about race and racial identities. It's simply a vehicle for moral licensing. If I state that "Black Lives Matter" after a "George Floyd event", I can ignore the 83 blacks shot in Democrat run Chicago last weekend and in every weekend since.
Delete...and so, "Cultural Capitalism" has two sides, whereas only the Left wanted to "Get woke, go broke" before. But then again, how many liberals would have ever bought a bottle of wine from a vineyard calling itself "We the People" with an elephant on the label?
Delete...and what's wrong with a patriot experiencing a little "moral licensing" by drinking a bottle of wine every once in a while? ;)
DeleteMost liberal "woke" cultural capitalism is the opposite... eating expensive "organic" or "vegetarian" food to purify ones insides while swashing it down with a morally-licensed chemically infused Diet-Pepsi.
Deleteps - This product will likely be distributed exclusively on-line and not in brick and mortar stores, lest liberals "boycott" the retail outlets and force it off the shelves.
Delete"...and what's wrong with a patriot experiencing a little 'moral licensing' by drinking a bottle of wine every once in a while?"
Deletenothing, except that it might encourage him to "ignore the 83 blacks shot in Democrat run Chicago last weekend" (or its "patriotic" equivalent).
btw - What could be more "American" than a good tobacco product...
Deletew/ "menthol"!
Deleteps - No white Democrat is going to remind him of those 83 blacks.
Delete"What could be more "American" than a good tobacco product..."
DeleteHard to think of anything, except maybe a Philip-Morris-manufactured inhaler"!
You mean British...

DeletePolitical ideology always falls away in the face of economic reality.
ReplyDeleteHell no. What we need is another Donald Trump whining incessantly about how every one picks on him. 🤣
ReplyDeleteI think it's a very effective ad. Of course it won't turn minds that are convinced that America has been a historically despicable place. That's kind of obvious from a couple comments we've seen here already.
ReplyDeleteBut it's a distillation (no pun) of the foolishness of leftist ideology.
