THIS. Watch this video. Video is 23min, but he gets right to the meat of the issue of what’s happening in America- this manufactured rage-bait and hate against the Left-Right.
Guy explains it perfectly. He’s an ex-military chief who specializes in behavior profiling, interrogation, and Human Intelligence operations. He says this is textbook military psyops. I had thought this before even seeing this video- but this guy says what I’ve been thinking in a much more succinct way.

I watched the first minute, but he hard lost me by the 3rd minute when all the incendiary clips he showed were MSNBC, CNN, Biden without a single Fox or Newsmax or Alex Jones clip. This clown is just deepening the division so idgaf what he says even if it’s Newton’s laws of physics. Overt bias loses me.
doesn’t make what he said NOT true. he specifically said it’s NOT a left-right issue. also, it’s probably his video guys that put up the images. the guy himself is big on social media- doesn’t do any of the video editing work himself.
The point of the video still stands- for us to NOT be divided against left-right, so aren’t you falling for that trap as well, nitpicking on images he didn’t even put up? also, the Charlie Kirk thing JUST happened, so it’s all a rush to put these videos out. i’m sure the guy himself didn’t intend to not include Fox and appear biased.
There are no reputable source linking him directly to the Republican party. If he was a Republican or MAGA, he’d say it. It appears to me he’s neither L nor R but has views on both sides. He appears to lean “right” in that he talks about things labeled by the left as “conspiracy theories” (like MLK, JFK, etc)
I’ve personally posted stuff in the past (not videos) but I’ve had ppl nitpick on stuff and slam me for this or that when it was completely NOT whatever incindiary thing they claimed. Which is why I no longer post comments bc ppl will always twist things or read into things that aren’t there.
Anyhow, the message still stands- he says to NOT fall in the trap of left-right, so aren’t you yourself falling for the divide by dismissing anyone and everyone who’s “right wing”? The guy SPECIFICALLY says to NOT dismiss ppl on “the other side” just bc they vote different. IE to NOT fall for the manufactured rage-bait to hate on half the population and be divided. He literally says it’s manufactured rage-bait/hate and Americans are falling for it. You’re dismissing and hating on everyone who even appears to be slightly right. YOU have also fallen for the manufactured hate trap.
For someone who’s supposedly smart, you are doing exactly what this guy says to NOT do. You’d know this if you watched a few min further, not even much further bc I haven’t finished the video and he says it like idk around minute 5 or something. You literally saw images of CNN and MSNBC and just said fuck it. And btw, CNN and MSNBC ARE both fucking very incindiary. And fear-monger and spread misinformation and hate, just like Fox. And I say this as a life-long blue voter (tho did NOT vote during the last 2 shit elections).
Also, lets say he is Republican (no concrete evidence to suggest he is) or I am Republican (I am not) or RFK is Republican (he is not, he’s a lifelong Democrat, but joined Trump bc the left did everything they could to fuck him over). Based on your “logic”- we should just dismiss EVERYONE and EVERYTHING someone says bc they even hint at leaning towards the right on some issues. That means EVERYTHING he says or I said or RFK says is wrong and should automatically be dismissed. THAT is illogical and faulty thinking.
I myself have views that are against BOTH the Republicans and Democrats, as well as some views that “align” with R and D. Tho MOST of all this is bullshit and none of these parties or politicians really mean any of the shit they say, especially when it comes to helping the poor or middle class. ON BOTH SIDES.
We should base things on EACH individual issue and on EACH issue that is being said. What ever happened to CRITICAL THINKING?
This idiotic alignment of Left vs Right is rotting everyone’s collective brains.
Which is exactly the POINT of this video.
Lord help us. THIS is why I have NO hope in humans. Humans are so easily manipulated and fall into these traps.
By your logic- you should stop talking to me and everyone and their grandma just bc they may have some ideas that align with “the right.”
If this is your thinking, then whatever business venture/invention thing you’re trying to do is not going to take off. Bc anyone who says anything even remotely “republican” is going to turn you off. And they inevitably will. You can’t create global change when you yourself have biases against HALF the country.
Dude pump the brakes. All I said is “overt bias loses me” and I was referring to media personalities. You’re free to swing right if that’s your camp. I’m fiercely independent and have no problem talking to either team. And that’s precisely what puts me in the unique position of being able to sniff a cheap manipulation when I see one. I prefer to think for myself and take it as a personal insult when someone tries to think for me.
There is some truth to what the channel is saying. I don’t think the division began with the mainstream media or some covert elites per se. In the 90s, they were more similar than different and almost never applied the labels of left or right. There were already a lot of conspiracy theories online, however, and accusations later on that Obama was leftist, socialist, or elitist. Things further diverged with the rising prominence of DEI, immigration issues, government healthcare, Fox News peeling away from the rest of the group, and later social media.
I group up in a place where some religious people believed that the sick should not receive medical treatment, because that would be interfering with God’s plan. I also knew liberals (applying today’s langauge) who had no idea that half of the country were the opposite of them. This was decades ago!
*deep, deep, deep, sigh*, but everything else about Charlie Kirk, the white power stuff, the time he said that some deaths are just the cost of having guns around and we should be okay with that, the anti trans stuff, the anti LGBTQ stuff, the pro conversion camp stuff, the anti education stuff, the anti femenist stuff, the weird pro fascist stuff, every day that passes more stuff keeps coming up and the only good thing was that he wanted the epstein files released.
Seriously, in memory of Charlie Kirk, release the damn files.
I’m not okay with making a martyr or a saint out of him though. He’s not JFK, Jesus or Martin Luther King and if they name a street after him I am going to graffiti that sign on damn principle.
They’re giving him better treatment than the Pope right now. I find that HIGHLY nausiating, second only to that damn video of his wife with his body, some things should be private lady.
This post isn’t about Charlie Kirk (I actually don’t know any of CK’s stances since I don’t listen to him) but about what this Chase Hughes guy is saying- that we are purposely being divided by the rich into Left vs Right hatred, while the rich go on pillaging us while we’re distracted and bickering amongst ourselves.
Kirk was an expert in going through the motions of “debate” while engaging in a half dozen logical fallacies to throw off his opponents. He was a caricature of someone who can debate well (as shown by his horrible performances at people who actually can debate at Oxford university).
Simple example. He says homosexuality is wrong because the bible says it’s so. But he ignores all the other things the bible says, for instance, saying you need to stone people who don’t keep the Sabbath holy. Cherry picking bible passages is the dumbest, simplest form of argument, and people thought this shows how clever he is.
The world is a better place without Kirk in it.
I don’t follow Charlie Kirk and I am not a Republican. This post was about what this other fellow- Chase Highes- in the video is saying- who says this is all done to divide us, all this divisive language, all of the media and rich pitting us to be Left vs Right. And that we shouldn’t be manipulated to think that everyone “on the other side” is the enemy. That was the point of the post. I actually don’t know Charlie Kirk’s stances on stuff since I don’t listen to him (but have obviously heard his name).
What Chase Hughes is saying true- all this division, all this bickering between Left vs Right- ofc it’s now gotten worse since the shooting since it’s all being blamed on the Left. Which is precisely his point about us not getting sheepherded into the narrative they want us to think- ie- “ALL Republicans are the enemy” or “ALL Democrats are the enemy.”
Your simple example is itself cherry picking bible verses. John 1:17 or Galatians 2:21 illuminate grace over the law, but there is one very famous quote that even I knew long before reading it: He who is without sin cast the first stone. I believe Kirk was quoting Him.
Respectfully.
Donald Trump attempted a coup when he lost the previous election.
Donald Trump is an aspiring dictator who is busy centralizing power.
This is very much a Left-Right issue, and the Right is completely illegitimate. Its behavior has been toxic for a very long time.
Anyone telling you we just need to make up and be friends is either dumb or okay with America turning into a Trumpist dictatorship.
