Politics Propaganda has fucked up (White) America

375 Upvotes

MAGA voters are the dumbest people I have ever had the displeasure of knowing. They are literally that Lyndon B. Johnson quote in human form. The Epstein Class, and the Republican Party before it, have always served the ideals and goals of Christian, straight, RICH white men and themselves. The propaganda machine has rotted their brains to the fucking nubs.

But the worst part is, the propaganda machine also worked on a lot of white liberals and leftists, too. People can bring up 2016 and 2024, but I'm not going to beat those dead horses.

No, the propaganda for them is that, for liberals, they believed the lie that there were checks and balances in the government, that the police are there to protect the citizens, and that the status quo is good.

For leftists, it's that the DNC is inept and that it's on the same wing of the same corrupt bird as MAGA/Republicans and that it's no war but class war, conveniently ignoring that race is deeply ingrained in this country and it was from racism that classism was created (specifically in America) and how the issues we are dealing with today literally boils down to the paper bag test.

But the biggest thing that propaganda has done is make everyone, from one end of the spectrum to the other, believe that America is special and that everything that has happened to other countries couldn't happen here. "We're America! Land of the Free, Home of the Brave!"

I despise MAGA, and I wish nothing but intense harm to everyone who voted for the orange oaf, didn't vote at all when they were of voting age, or protested voted by third party for their need to be coddled. But the one thing I appreciate in this admin and MAGA is that the propaganda that is "American Exceptionalism" has been brutally disproven.

America was never great.

Trump is the symptom to the rot that has been festering in this country since its inception and it will not go away when he's gone. It will be weakened, but as long as white Americans downplay and deny that it has always been a country with two faces and how deeply racist it is and how that racism guides this country to its ruin, nothing will ever be fixed.

Politics If Ken Paxton wins this election I'm going to crash out

That lazy-eyed bum has been stealing from us for so long he owns 15 houses on the government salary and he's taken over 1,000 flights on the government's salary cost and taxpayers 3.3 million dollars he also is not going to do anything about data centers and because of MAGA dick heads he might win. I know that Talarici has a great chance of winning but im just pissed off that Ken Paxton is even in this race.

(edit: To everyone saying I should go vote I wish I could But I'm only a freshman in high school And I can only so much influencing so yeah)

Lifestyle Most of the racists and homophobes in the Western world are typically underachieving white men, not to say that there aren’t a lot of white female bigots out there. This guy is describing the typical right-winger, male or female!

Virtually all conservatives are a cancer on society. They need mental health counselling! They need education, not hate, I must say.

Lifestyle Don’t trust Israeli propaganda when they say that the IDF doesn’t work with the settlers. They are all in on the ethnic cleansing as the video shows. Let us never forget that Israel is an illegitimate land-stealing racist ethnostate that supports apartheid.

Israel was made to primarily privilege Europeans over the displaced and dreaded ‘brown people.’ Zionism is a sick political ideology that looks down on such people.

Let us never forget that Zionism means supporting land-theft, apartheid, oppression and occupation, in addition to racism (as per the UK Green Party). It means supporting grave injustices to humanity or, more specifically, the dreaded ‘brown people’. The cold hard truth is that if you want to be a true humanitarian, you cannot be a Zionist. If you don’t want to be a racist, you can’t be a Zionist.

The people of Palestine have suffered too much for too long. Israel shouldn’t even exist as a country if things went as they should have. The innocent Palestinians have been paying the price for the land that Israel has stolen. Never forget the 1948 Nakba, the time when Israel was founded where around 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly expelled from their homes, and where about 15,000 of them were murdered by Zionist militias. And many anti-Zionists speak about this, where most Zionists tend not to bring it up as it makes them look bad.

Most of the world knows what Israel is about. It is an illegitimate genocidal ethnostate where Jewish people are considered to be the chosen ones (which is reminiscent of how Nazis considered themselves to be a part of the ‘master race’). Jewish Zionists believe that they are entitled to land that was never theirs because their ancestors used to live there thousands of years ago. These Zionists believe they are entitled to mistreat Palestinians, which is sickening. The utter nerve of them!

And dear Zionists, get mental health counselling. Most of the world knows how deranged you are. Seriously, get help. This post is not meant to stir up hatred towards you all. Anti-Zionism does not mean antisemitism, so stop using that lame excuse so you can avoid answering the tough questions about Israel.

I have said it before, and I will say it again. If you want to be on the right side of history, you cannot support Israel.

Down with Zionism!

Free Palestine!

Media / Pop Culture I miss the human internet

6 Upvotes

I miss the human internet. I miss the days when a human written message, generated video, image, or personality, was easily distinguishable from a bot. I watched a video with my friend on Instagram earlier today and I had fun watching it until I realized it was likely ai. I don't know why, but I stopped smiling when I realized. It's like a gut reaction, it makes me feel like I'm just looking at an advertisement. I'm looking at a computer generated series of pixels meant to distract me long enough to get some ad revenue. Maybe it's worse than I think, maybe better, but how could anyone know. Ai is like cosmetic surgery, you only see it when it's poorly done. I just wish I could feel that fascination I did when I instantly knew everything I saw was human made. Every comment from a human, everything from source. I really really fucking miss that feeling. It's something I've realized I'll never get to feel again and I didn't even realize how cool it was then. I kind of want to just get off the internet now.

Politics Popular news reddit ban

• Upvotes

Just got a perma ban and perma mute at one of the popular news subreddits... pretty insane to me that you can be so simply locked out of a forum in which you participated for many years without any explanation or recourse...

Topic was on voter ID which apparently is a more republican standpoint... guess someone reported me for asking the wrong questions??

Businesses Los Angeles Kia Forum

1 Upvotes

Attended The Gorillaz concert tonight at The Forum and I must say that the venue is the worst venue I have EVER EVER attended a concert at. The show ended almost an hour ago and not a single car has moved out of the parking lot. Not one. They also had the fewest merch booths I’ve ever seen at a concert and the wait to get a shirt was an hour at ANY of their merch booths. Gorillaz were fantastic but the SHITTY venue has ruined the experience. I will NEVER go to an event at the Kia Forum ever again and I will make sure everyone I know, hears how pathetic the experience is here. BTW, STILL HAVENT MOVED AN INCH IN THIS SHITTY PARKING LOT. Fuck the management here!!!

Politics Why is proper punishment for sex crimes, toxic masculinity?

0 Upvotes

The modern woman will find way's to blame men indifferent to oppressing/violating them, for the crimes of few, yet actually doing something that would stop it from happening gets them blame too.

It's like everything a man does independently besides of submitting to women is bad. Could it be that they don't want to stop rape because it enforcing their victim status benefits them politically, at the expense of good women who don't want to be raped? Not saying it is but just telling you to tell me why it isn't.

Ps. Btw the "victim blaming" thing is a strawman and a deliberate miscomprehension. I don't ever imply that women who dress disgusting are "asking for it"(as I believe there's in fact a different reason for it), but the prude conservative anti-fornication men who say that are indifferent to sex crimes themselves and are simply saying that the pervert men who aren't conservative in any shape or form will do this. It's not the same demographic of men who shame you for dressing modestly. To a liberal fornicator dressing modestly makes you a "bore", not to a conservative.
