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 wasp nest has really come out in the comments here 🤣
Tankie/imperialist propaganda is so fucking stupid
Imperialism? What’s that?
^ how to let people know you have mental capacity of a 13 year old
“Fuck this violent imperialist country that snuffs out human rights. Imma move to another one 💪💪💪” absolute bootlickers
Least mentally deranged neoliberal btw.
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 😁
Noooo my heckin wholesome Lemmy propaganda don’t you dare have any other opinion than USA#1 here or else me and my liberal friends will call your love of gross, dirty and smelly foreigners and make homophobic jokes about you having sex with Putin
Dont forget the racist sinophobic “jokes”
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/
I heard China sucks
Literally everything OP posts is from RT or a similar Russian mouthpeice. I am - and I’m being serious here - stunned by the level of doublethink on display. I would say they’re a bot, but I think even a bot would be like, “nah, this is too much - no-one is this much of a cretin”.
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.
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.
Does feddit have screening questions on sign up to make sure people signing up are actual fascist?
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.
Oh damn you’re still doing the bot thing?
Whataboutism
copium level: estonia
“No U” says terf island
I don’t disbelieve it but it doesn’t mean OP is wrong.
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
I haven’t given it a try yet, I’ll have to give it a read.
Parenti my beloved. Will be adding that to my list thank you
Everybody Sucks Here
Only the right-wing neolibs of world and their ilk, I find the users of ml and hexbear to be quite nice
Yeah, so nice they’re chill with gay, trans and asexual rights getting obliterated in russia
Tankies are fuckin pathetic lmao
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
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.”
I SWIM IN THE SEA OF THE UNCONSCIOUS
I am a Rational Free Thinker and that’s why I only consume privately funded US media that cites US intelligence
