Pretty sure I just saw this on Reddit
Is he right?
Is that where you got this from? -

that's a pretty good way of framing it.
not sure how accurate it is in reality, but historically speaking, it holds up.
i think it's funny how ineffective those videos that supposedly show charlie being proved wrong are. it's almost if they were made that way on purpose.
like they combed through all that footage and could only find those clips -

almost nothing charlie said was wrong so they have no choice but to clip him way out of context to slander him. admittedly, he was a bit weaselly when he was caught off guard in a debate but he always tried to argue in good faith.

i'm actually hoping that those out-of-context videos of charlie "losing debates" will help gen z learn some perspective on how the media works a little better than generation boomer through gen Y.
gen x is a bit more based, having lived life before so much tech, but many of them are hopelessly entrenched in the beast system, they would never bite the hand that feeds them.
it's funny that it's the beast that we think feeds us now, even though it's always been and still is the other way around. -

But people did need to explain and they did.
Some people thought he was a pushover and stood for nothing. Not true at all.
Some ignorant people like my Late Mafia Caporegime Uncle used to call him a Fruit and thought he was a Queer.
He wasnt.
I watched Mr. Rogers as a kid and then spent the next 4 decades admiring him as a Man.
When I finshed watching the documentary that was made about Mr.Rogers, I walked out of that Movie Theater saying to myself, this man(Rogers) is one of the greatest Men to ever be in the Public arena of ideas in the history of the United States.
No one like that Man. Truly amazing individual
The only poster who had his account banned 4 times without ever breaking any rules each of those times. -

What's wrong with his speaking voice? It was gentle and without hostility.
Puppets are or at least were standard children's fare at the time.
I think people just like to fantasize about something dark hidden behind something wholesome.
