It is nice to see the western propaganda machine start to fail. I never thought I’d see the general public recognize Israel is a genocidal settler apartheid state until the last couple years, even though the propaganda machine has been working overtime for it. Hopefully other areas in propaganda start to crumble as well.
Born to early to explore the cosmos, too late to explore the world, but just in time to see the fall of the US empire propaganda machine 😁
I am a Rational Free Thinker and that’s why I only consume privately funded US media that cites US intelligence

Does feddit have screening questions on sign up to make sure people signing up are actual fascist?
Oh damn you’re still doing the bot thing?

When you have to resort to attack your opponent by using their post history you know that either you lost or you dont have any real argument.
Whataboutism
Entrance exam to get into the fediverse:

well they have 61 posts within a month, all of them being controversial topics/political opinions. no matter ypur political affiliation. this IS straight up bot behavior
yet his comments sound pretty human, LLM? bot-human combination? maybe just a dude being paid? idk
Bot technology these days is crazy. Posting two whole posts a day?! No human is capable of that.
while a person is capable of that, tell me how many people post even once a day. most people never post, mor active users post like once a week. posting twice a day is either chronically online, or a bot. and judging by the fact that everything they post is controversial and political, a bot seems more likely
Two (non-white-supremacist) posts a day?!!? Total bot behavior.
/s
No, lol. Being more online is more likely. Lemmy is filled with politics.
but not every post twice a day
Most of the posts you see are from people that post a ton of times per day, 2 a day is fine.
completely ignoring thaf we are talking about political posts specifically
I would say they’re a bot,
not a bad guess probably. just a week or two ago was when I noticed them posting frequently very suddenly, and before that I haven’t seen their name anywhere.
I don’t disbelieve it but it doesn’t mean OP is wrong.
the wasp nest has really come out in the comments here 🤣
bruh u unironically post rt content
OP is so anti-anything that is said in Western media that they genuinely believe Putin, Xi and Kim are the perfect humans and there’s nothing wrong in any of their countries and they’re perfect utopias.
They’re either a moron, brainwashed or a paid actor. I can’t decide which.
Politics must be so easy when you just lazily strawman everyone who disagrees with you, before writing them off with an equally lazy adhominem.
I haven’t strawman’d them, they literally say China, Russia, Iran and DPRK are great and the West is bad continually. There’s no nuance to their position. At no point have I seen any post or comment from the OP that says “you know what, there’s some good and bad on both sides and maybe we should strive to find the balance in our perspectives” (though I will admit, I haven’t specifically gone through their post and comment history to seek it out).
It’s also not an ad hominem if I believe the person either doesn’t understand what they’re saying/doing or they’re intentionally saying/doing things because they’re themselves propagandised or being paid to say/do it.
I haven’t strawman’d them
Oh? Please point to where they said “Putin, Xi and Kim are the perfect humans and there’s nothing wrong in any of their countries and they’re perfect utopias.” Because that sounds like a huge fucking strawman.
It’s also not an ad hominem
Refusing to engage with the substance of their point and dismissing them as “either a moron, brainwashed or a paid actor.” is basically the definition of an adhominem.
Of course, someone has to post against the dominance that is western
propaganda“media”The solution to that isn’t to post even more blatantly state controlled media just with a different flavor of boot sole.
Come on now.
Nearly all media is state controlled. Even privately owned media companies because both the media and the state are just tools the owning class uses to maintain power. They share the same interests. There are some coalitions of reporters and journalists that have relative independence but even they must cooperate with the interests of the owning class or risk being shut out of key resources necessary for their reporting and therefore their income. The goal is to read reporting from all sources with the interests of the producers of that source in mind. You can read RT and get reliable information on some subjects just as you can read the kyivindependant and get reliable information on some subjects. Emphasis on some. It is unfortunately up to the reader to filter through bias, a skill that is suspisciously not taught well in our education.

I really gotta read Chomsky and Herman’s book on that subject
I actually preferred Inventing Reality from Parenti
Parenti my beloved. Will be adding that to my list thank you
I haven’t given it a try yet, I’ll have to give it a read.

Imperialism? What’s that?
“Fuck this violent imperialist country that snuffs out human rights. Imma move to another one 💪💪💪” absolute bootlickers
Least mentally deranged neoliberal btw.
Imperialism is when war or trade with other counties
Truly a running dog for imperialism

Downvotes are pro russian trolls
Search engines are free. Russia criminalized gay, trans people and asexuals (the only country that specifically criminalizes asexuality iirc). You’re “defending” a fascist state lmao
The face reminded me of the style of the face pictures for Psycho Patrol R. I doubt that any one picture is exactly the same, but the style is similar enough to remind me. https://shared.fastly.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1907590/ss_97de425d644d8a91b36a76e87a82ad9b647c95bc.600x338.jpg https://store.steampowered.com/app/1907590/Psycho_Patrol_R/
China bad. US bad. Russia bad.
All three can be true at the same time. (And they are)
“The US is bad, but I believe everything it says about its enemies without question”
the west will never forgive China for liberating themselves, it is a dangerous precedent that should be chastised at all costs.
ingests ‘facts’ and narratives from seemingly different sources that just happen to be financially backed/owned by the same small group of people
no logical filtering or processing takes place before regurgitating them
“I’m a free thinker who does their own research!”
Meanwhile, the worlder preferred “bastions of journalism”:
Jeff Bezos, one of the richest men in the world today, known for employing folks that need to pee in bottles to comply with Amazon’s inhuman procedures or face losing their jobs, buys The Washington Post
“They will hold the truth and journalistic integrity in high regard, and I can certainly trust them to prioritise them before financial gain and anything that can be done to achieve it.”
