For those who do not know, the beginning of this video is only a snippet of a much longer video showing that ALL the MSM stations follow the same script. Sometimes, verbatim.
Black Pigeon Speaks has an awesome take on the NPC meme.
I wish he would go further, as there are many layers to this, both intellectually, dealing with the psyche and classes.
He is on other platforms like BitChute and Minds, so it's very possible he could! The biggest issue is that there isn't a direct way to upload videos on SteemIt. So he'd have to use something like D.Tube to do so. Not a huge issue, but it's possible that could deter some. StyxHexenHammer uses BitChute and D.Tube though, so some others are moving over!
This type of stuff is exactly why we created the Information War effort here on steemit. We manually curate posts, and do our best to identify what is the truth vs what is a narrative that the MSM is telling us.
Every post we put on the Steem blockchain is another nail in the coffin of the mega corporation media establishment's control over information.
There were a couple of minor things in that video that weren't quite right. That lady working for the NYTimes spouting off racist comments apparently only did so after being attacked by right wing bigots, then she decided to mock their bigotry right back by reflecting their hatred from the opposite point of view. Not the wisest move IMO and I think the Times should have fired her. The pendulum will swing both ways and while right now it seems that the NPC meme fits the left to a T, if the next election goes the other way, then that same meme will begin to fit the right. The reality is that each side has their logical blind spot.
The antidote to this back and forth political karma is decentralized crypto.

Ya can't believe revisionist history from an NYT reporter... "The Right" is quickly becoming "The Center" as the Dims are abandoning the middle class, common sense and the Constitution. As a Union Member, I applaud all the stuff Trump has done to help bring back American Jobs, curb unethical trade practices by China, KILL the TPP, Renegotiate NAFTA, and basically twist arms of MULTIPLE "American Corporations" who were moving to Mexico. WHILE AT THE SAME TIME Getting a pretty good raise for Mexican Workers at the places where they make parts for US corporate automobiles and trucks.
Yes, there are still plenty of unsavory characters on "the right" but Trump has basically decried any of those groups that are hateful and bigoted. Notice how quickly they arrested that Bomber that sent "pipe bombs" to prominent Democrats, and CATEGORICALLY DENOUNCED his actions. NO ONE in politics should fear for their lives over political positions. Not even Killary, for political stuff. Now prosecution for the death of Seth Rich or one of the plethora of others in the Clinton Body Count? Only after a fair trial!
While I agree with most of what you said, the world is a murky place. The problem isn't Trump as the left keeps saying and I'm glad for the things that Trump has done to screw up the corporate left agenda. However, Trump is a short term solution to a much bigger problem. Authority is destined to go because it has been the source of the terrorism all along (not just socialism). Coercion in all of its forms is fundamentally wrong. The dems and reps are like two cats with their tails tied together and to the victor goes the spoils. The solution is to let the states and individuals go their own separate ways under natural law.
When crypto springs a leak in national fiat everywhere, do you think that Trump is just going to sit idly by? No. He will be forced to come after all us crypto hodlers just as a socialist would, so don't get complacent just because "your guy" is in the cat birds seat. We have "fake news" now because of the internet's outsourcing of all of the most profitable revenue for establishment news corps which gutted their fact checking departments. Eventually crypto will cause the phenomena of "fake money" which will cause practically everyone in government to be at our throats regardless of whether they are on the left or right.
I don't generally focus on the minor political theater or make excuses for their behavior. I'm an anarchist and would prefer this whole rotten system be gone.
I am also an anarcho-capitalist at heart, and I am hopeful that when the Crash comes (SHTF) we have a freedom minded individual in place that will not "clamp down" on the purging forces that will surely come. I am also a fan of the "RTR THEORY" which is right on track according to the main adherent of the theory, @bixweir who is/was/used to be a Steemian :-) roadtoroota.com
Yes, we need the over-reaching .GOV to be swept aside, but IMO the main group of founding fathers were likely much more AN-CAP than nearly anyone alive today. The F'ED .GOV is nothing like they envisioned. It is a bloated, wallowing parasite that needs reduced by at least 90+%
Hii @fyrstikken, whole video Social medias about the role of Non playable character (NPC) discussed very well. You well said that your mind blown away and it is difficult to believe on eyes and ears. Thanks friend for sharing such updates and infos.
The NPC meme is a double-edged sword that cuts both ways.
It can be flipped to describe the group that is employing it to describe another group of people they disagree with.
If you enjoyed this video, I highly recommend that you take a few minutes to read James Corbett's - Know Your Meme post on this subject.
Is this really any better than the leftists calling anyone they disagree with a Nazi or the rightists calling anyone they disagree with an NPC? When we employ such catch-alls, are we any better than the NPCs (or normies) that we deride?
Well, yes and no. If we are simply employing these terms as thought-stopping insults, terms that can be used in lieu of actual argument, then yes, we are no different than those who dismiss us as "conspiracy theorists" for discussing uncomfortable political issues.
But there is a sense in which terms like "NPC" may be pointing to something actually descriptive. It has long been the stuff of revolutionary lore that there is some magic percentage of the population (3% or 5% or maybe 10%) who are actually responsible for political change. These are the people who debate political ideas, form their own opinions, formulate strategies to change society and fight to bring those changes about. The rest of the public are, for all intents and purposes, non-playing characters in the game of history.
I'm in the middle of a BIG flagging attack (today is day 4), .....because I posted some NPC memes!
What's hilarious is that they don't enter the arena and fight back through words - but use a financial instrument to take wealth of people.
They use capitalist mechanisms (money), to do their fighting.
And they call themselves 'communist'.....mmm
Dumb as a bag of spanners....
(apologies to any spanners reading this comment)
All this is raging in the USA, @fyrstikken... of course, it's all in the big cities and colleges, and not really seen outside of those. MOST of the USA land area is "red" if you buy that color designation for Repubics… It was Blue for that party until Reagan painted almost the entire map Blues in 1980 and 84, and damn near everyone was calling the Demonic Rats "reds" and Commies, which they are showing more of those tendencies every day. So the media flipped the color scheme.
This NPC/SJW parallel is COMICALLY TRUE! I lol'ed for some of this.
As far as the media not reporting properly, we have many times they have been caught using "creative editing" to twist the words of Trump, the latest I saw was they clipped and flipped a speech he gave to make it look like he was praising a Confederate General from the Civil War, and he said no such thing. Blatant, outright LYING, yet people wonder why he calls them FAKE NEWS? The Mainstream Media is MOSTLY Fake News. I hear BS every day, even on the radio. I do not and will not pay for TV broadcasts which are so slanted, and besides, there is nothing worth watching anyway. TV is a waste of time, don't you agree? ;)
This is a great video. I'm so tired of the PC movement and silencing those with unpopular opinions.
When I first saw this meme, I thought that NPC stood for "Not Politically Correct".

I hope he can premiere his content on STEEMIT.com so we can upvote what we like. I found it very good.

@truthforce writing.
The war has begun, my dear @fyrstikken. Prepare to accept refugees at Steemit :)
Steem = Media, am I right?
Of course, @fyrstikken. That’s the only free space left!
