Well you’ll see most users on beehaw or lemmy.world get pretty triggered if you even suggest considering the Holodomor wasn’t a genocide. In fact, most “regular” people in the imperial core would get pretty triggered. Or for saying Che Guevara was a very cool person. Or for saying Mao wasn’t as evil as Hitler.

So you see, most places on the internet, it being an American creation, are very hostile to leftist perspectives that challenge the mainstream narratives.

Just questioning this narrative makes people seethe.

That’s brainwashing my friend. That is the effects of 3 generations of heavy heavy propaganda and ideological warfare.

And saying MOST people in the imperial core are not lib brained or brainwashed with propaganda is pretty hilarious.

I’m from the imperial periphery, even there most people are also brainwashed and lib brained. I mean the US won the ideological war! It’s the end of history. Ofc most people not in the few areas not dominated by empire will be brainwashed and lib brained.

And I’m not better than anyone. Propaganda is strong. I don’t know what led me to believe what I believe and question the mainstream narratives the way I did. I don’t think I’m special, only specific things happened to me, which had the effects they had because of insurmountable circumstances in my life. Like that’s how all people are right?

I only can hope more people will also develop more class consciousness, more critical thinking skills, and stop regurgitating propaganda. From all sides.
