As far as how the media is spinning this conflict, they're trying to convince everyone that inflation
is good.
They're trying to convince everyone that the skyrocketing gas prices are all a necessary
sacrifice for us as we fight against the evil Vladimir Putin, who's dissolving civil liberties
simply because of toxic masculinity or whatever stupid reason they believe he's doing it for.
And an example of this would be what Colbert said.
You want to talk about virtue signaling.
I know we've used that.
We've used those words a few times already on the podcast, but this is exhibit A of what
it looks like.
Stephen Colbert, a propagandist, not a comedian, a propagandist who does the bidding of the
puppet masters who control him gets up on his television show and talks about how he
is happy to pay exorbitant amounts of money for gas.
If it means fighting Putin, let's go to the clip now.
It looks like there's more to come because the US and its European allies are now discussing
banning imports of Russian oil.
Take that, Putin.
We're not going to buy our gas from a war criminal.
We're going to buy it from Saudi Arabia.
But it's going to cost.
Since the invasion, oil prices have skyrocketed.
Today, the average gas price in America hit an all-time record high of over $4 per gallon.
Okay, that stings, but a clean conscience is worth a buck or two.
I'm willing to pay $4 a gallon, hell, I'll pay $15 a gallon because I drive a Tesla.
I want you to notice how he contradicts himself.
First of all, he says, oh, you know, we're not getting Russian oil, instead, we're getting
it from Saudi Arabia, the good guy.
So he makes what's actually a decent joke there, basically making the point that, well,
hold on a minute, it's not like the alternative is necessarily moral either, because the
alternative to Russian oil would be importing Saudi Arabian oil, and they're not exactly
the good guys either.
And then he turns around and says, "Oh, but I'm willing to pay more for gas if it means
fighting Putin.
I'm willing to pay more for gas as a result of not importing Russian oil.
Hey, moron, that means that you would be paying more for Saudi Arabian oil, which you just
implied wasn't a good idea either.
You idiot."
How does he not read the script and realize he contradicts himself right there?
Because, to use his words against him, he said, "I'll pay more oil for a clean conscience."
So apparently Saudi Arabian oil is very clean, you know, morally speaking.
It's that Russian dirt.
Even though he just implied that it wasn't.
Yeah.
You can't have it both ways, but apparently when you have an audience that you're paying
to clap for you, you can have it both ways.
You can essentially say whatever you want and they're too stupid to even realize that
they're making fun of you.
If you fall for that hook line and sinker, they're literally making fun of you.
They're making a mockery of you and this propaganda is silly.
