Is this the most successful propaganda of the deed in American history?
Is this the most successful propaganda of the deed in American history?
Speaking in terms of the popular response
id argue there hasnt been any success yet
?wasn't Harper's Ferry widely condemned at the time by the liberal masses? not well read on the topic but I've seen people compare October 7th to it for that reason.
Oh I didn't even consider that. I guess I was thinking more of an assassination of a powerful American with a generally positive approval from the public. That's like the one thing Americans usually won't stomach. John Brown "only" took over a military compound
literally no lmao, this is pure online bullshit
i'd argue that unless we get another cool zone entry within the next two weeks or the trial becomes a circus of nullification, then no.
expanding to worldwide events of similar nature, i'd argue that even the doohickey achieved more in japan than the adjustment has in the US so far.
I'd love to see one of the talking heads go to the cool zone, that'd be pretty dope.
Most is a high bar to reach on any issue. There is definitely a mainstream level of support. I don’t think it is just an echo chamber thing — I have seen the same anti-CEO sentiment across all social media including Reddit, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, etc.
Lol, he hasn't even started a civil war yet.
Literally nothing has happened
People are talking, they're mad, but nothing has happened
We've seen the rubber band get pulled and it's snapping back into place
The real question is whether or not we're going to actually get people to actually learn about why this was an inevitable act
I thought the Arab Spring taught us that Social Media isn't the be all and end all. Mass media was hyping the Arab Spring as the first "social media revolution", Mubarak was ousted, but the Army took over and then Morsi. Occupy Wall Street was the biggest leftist movement in America, maybe this will ignite something similar, but this time for fucks sakes, don't let another Dem sheepdog like Sanders or AOC lead the masses back to the Dems.
I could see another one in the next few years. And then another, and another. The conditions are only going to become more likely for them. My worry is we get some neoliberal release valve rather than revolution. There's a lot of clocks ticking right now and none of them are counting down to anything good.
Uh no. The civil rights movement and pride riots would like to have a word with you.
What examples of propaganda of the deed came from those movements?
Civil disobedience, protest, and regular assassinations are not what propaganda of the deed means.
Tbf as much as I’ve pushed back a bit here and there on the whole overly critical thing some of us have been doing idk if I’d really call what Luigi did propaganda of the deed either
Edit: like i feel like we’re kinda using that term to mean “general assassination” as you say lately and less what it traditionally meant
I think we have to be careful to not fall into echo chambers because I really don’t believe that most Americans share our views on this
And the media has been working overtime to convince people there is a “good” and “bad” guy. Don’t forget how the average burger brain works
I talk with a wide range of average burger Americans daily, I have yet to encounter one who says it's a bad thing. People are legitimately hopeful because of it.
Hell no read a history book, we have martyrs
Yeah, we get martyred, but when has an assassination of a powerful American been so well-recieved by the public?
Sure numerically, this is probably the most popular. Doesn’t seem wrong to say actually
I think the ones done during the militant labor movements of the late 1800s and early 1900s were probably really popular. If I had to guess. I mean strikers were regularly getting murdered by oligarchs.
There have been so many acts of political violence in america, like it wasn’t that special.
Yes there were times when the American Communist Party made two figures in several states .
