Trump's heresy was not literally true, but it was grounded in a fundamental truth that has been denied to Americans so the national security state could bilk them for billions.

Great, the Russian propaganda bots have arrived in the fediverse.

That’s not really a thing in the fediverse.

Lemmy.ml is full of propaganda in general

Even though your links may be valid, they're not contributing to the conversation in the sense that you didn't provide any argument.

Do you mean to say lemmy.ml isn't full of propaganda and I should leárn about media literacy, or you think it might be full of propaganda and that's why I should learn about media literacy? Or maybe you just wanted to share the links, idk.

I mean to say that, just because you don’t notice the propaganda on other instances, and in popular media in general, doesn’t mean it’s not there. You may just see it as “common sense.”

Cultural hegemony

📺 The Fascism of Common Sense

📺 Hegemony of Common Sense:Interview Of Dean Manders

Class domination is effectuated more by the mystification of consciousness—the distortion, the obfuscation, the redirection of thought and ideas—than through force or even the threat of force. Of course, force is always in the background—it’s always there. […] If you can mystify people, if you can get people to participate in their own “subjugation,” you’ll get people to become their own worst enemies, you’ve won. And you’ve won without any police forces, military forces, or whatever.

Yes, the state in russia started the invasion. Thanks for just saying it.

Y'all wackos can say whatever you want about how ukraine was wearing a hot dress or whatnot. It doesn't matter.

https://tankie.tube/w/8oEAyZfQY6SwqpYmoEkWxJ libs and minimizing genocide. Name a more iconic duo.

Y'all can pretend this is analogous to any sort of abuse to obfuscate the fact that you refuse to learn a single fucking bit of history regarding the war, but the intervention was legal under Ukrainian law itself. States have a right to secede via referendum, did so after the US funded nazi coup, and begged Russia to stop the indiscriminate shelling of civilians by the maidan regime that ensued for almost a decade after.

Several peace agreements had been reached to stop Ukraine from bombing civilians, but the ultra right within the Ukrainian army refused to abide by them. There's videos of Zelensky ordering them to do it and them treating him like an irrelevant idiot.

Some people are so propagandized that if trump says water is wet they will say its dry

Please don’t post articles that are behind hard paywalls, or if you do, paste in the relevant parts of it.

[-] yojimbo@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 days ago

how did everyone access the article?

I would like to know if its the same tired 40 year old argument on "sphere of influence" or actually something interesting at least from the "intellectual elasticity" point of view?
