Well, if history is indeed cyclical, then in a 100 years Palestinians will have their own ethnostate and oppressing a different peoples. My guess is Kurds. /s

I think some of them imagine themselves to be the protagonist of the world and will be elevated to the dictator's best friend at some point. I'm basing this off having talked to an Iranian monarchist.

At the very least they should be TRYING to limit civilian deaths. They're clearly not doing that much, as is evident by their invasion of the west bank as well where Hamas ISN'T.

America has democracy??

Terrorism and mass murder. I actually lived near one, a van attack in Toronto.

The most oppressed class: conservatives.

What never being told "no" all your life does to a mf.

Are they the same person?

But without my phone how will I know when 5 minutes have passed?

Fascism has happened exactly once in modern history.

Blatantly false.

Look up The Art and Science of Dumpster Diving by John Hoffman.

I don't know about it's quality, whether the advice is any good. I just know it exists.

bookscirclejerk when?

I haven't watched the show, but I believe the characters in it are stupid crazy rich.

"God is punishing us cause of the gays!"

That's how slavery in America was first abolished, right? Well, nvm that it wasn't really considering the prison industrial complex.

You're being pedantic then being a pedant about being pedantic.

Same

People learn to live in the closet.

antisemitic terrorist supporters

Israel supporters?

Jk. I know what you mean, but I genuinely would argue that. Calling not supporting nationalism and an ethnostate antisemitic is the actual antisemitism. Oh and terrorism is only terrorism when brown people do it, so can't argue with that part. /s

That aside... Your problem is there isn't enough bots and propaganda on here compared to say reddit. I'd say that's a good thing. Go back there if all you want is to circlejerk.

You need to find your niche when it comes to writing. For example I write mythological science fantasy, and I can count on one hand the number of books I've come across that fit that specific genre. You might not be able to write as well as someone else in general, but you can write what you write about better than anyone else.

Legalize drugs, stop the war on drugs from Nixon era. It should be treated as a health problem, not a criminal one, and once they're at least decriminalized the cartel's profits would PLUMMET.

Ofc USA has probably the strongest propaganda system and has incentive for the cartels to continue existing, so I don't see that happening unless some change that's major and unexpected happens.

I become capable of doing everything I want to, when I want to do it, instead of overthinking and second guessing myself.

I then work my way up to becoming an uploaded intelligence and abolishing capitalism. /s

Economics and unrealistic assumptions, name a nore iconic duo.

Whoopsie, someone fell for misinformation. Did you seriously believe what a politician (Biden) said?

Authoritarian regimes wave their dicks around like this all the time. Don't believe them.

Liars are lying.

Imagine thinking being a Biden fanboy is being antifascist at this point lmao

Webbed. You play as a peacock spider (with lasers) trying to save your boyfriend. The bug designs are actually really cute.

Bear* hug

I didn't specify that one assumption. I was thinking more like what the ither comment said.

centre-left

This is misleading. Neoliberalism is inherently capitalist, not socialist/communist.

Thought this was gonna be about Memri TV smh.

Nazism isn't fascism is quite the take. I can't tell if you're a troll or just a pedant who goes about being pedantic wrong.

I'm on book 4 and I'm not sure what you mean except for maybe one paragraph I read recently.

Bear* hug

I found it randomly on mangafire.to .
That translation is shit though. Like chatgpt would actually do a better job.

Disinformation has always been a problem, and it continues to be.

Consider that the sky is only ever one colour at a time. Let's say it's blue rn just for simplicity. It's not red, orange, yellow, etc. There can be more false statements made about this subject than there can be made a true statement. There will always be more misinformation than truth.

Now, a lot of that misinformation is disqualified cause even the most propagandized person has eyes. But that doesn't disqualify all of it.

There are questions science won't ever have a definitive answer to, because religion makes claims on them that are unfalsifiable. Part of it is just that people need an answer to those.

I left Islam, and while I wish all muslims would do the same, it required me ro go through a series of existential crises I'd be hesitant to force on my worst enemy.

There are plenty of other factors to consider too, traditonalism, the way the human brain forms neural pathways and how it is harder to get rid of a pathway than it is to form new ones from that, nationalism or the use governments and powerful people have for religion...

The good news when it comes to propaganda though is that if those in power don't constantly exert control over the masses, then their entire hierarchy would collapse pretty quickly.

The most powerful man in the world doesn't have the power to not support it. Not even "stop" it, just not support it??

9/11 has been so overblown. Literally, with the bombing of middle eastern people when the US government used it as an excuse to attack an uninvolved country... such that most people think of it as a joke now.

Also with what the other person said regarding COVID. I personally cannot take that event seriously anymore. In fact, I see anyone who complains about it having to be taken seriously as overprivelaged... Yes, really.
