Propaganda works frightening well.

How the fuck do you go from building a treehouse for them to stabbing the child trying to hug you

Holy shit i hate fox news boomers
Americans can be convinced of absolutely anything.
CW: description of racist beliefs, description of death/the dead, amateur psychoanalysis/rectally sourced conjecture

spoiler

you start out thinking that they are "one of the good ones" and have your little hallmark "racism is over" montage building a treehouse, proving that America can civilize even the most barbaric savage (with your help!), then you see an AI generated picture of a well-done infant, have an emotional breakdown because you are not terminally online/desensitized enough to corpses to tell its fake, and feel like you have been betrayed and need to do something to fix your mistake, for the memory of holocaust victims and idealized settler families "just like yours" (and dontcha know ~~hamas~~ ALL MUSLIMS just beheads babies for no reason!)

I will raise my children as Maoists. Nazis, landlords, colonizers, cops, and bankers will be seen as pure wickedness and savagery. They will stand shoulder to shoulder with Beezelbub and Bael. The monster under their bed will be a creatire who threatens to take away their home, and the scariest part is that it has a man’s face

That wild of a shift has got to be dementia or something right

Being a landlord doesn't keep your mind in shape
It usually depends on his skin color. Either dementia or terroristm

- going from building a treehouse to this is such an insane shift though. building a treehouse is a lot of effort if you were just hiding it

this is that ridiculous scene from the boys when the fat white guy shoots a brown gas station clerk because "he looks like a bullet proof mother fucker"

I am fucking dead inside

The Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis singing Imagine from the same backdrop as their Danny Masterson apology video (I believe shot next to a wooden wall near their pool) was extremely prescient too.

MM's ex wife's new partner being a Reddit lib that falls for superhero worship and inadvertently sides with fascism despite thinking he's one of the good guys

The Supe that SA'd someone getting cancelled then slowly turning to religion then being rehabilitated and overall received basically no punishment

Starlight wanting to change the fascist system from the inside and completely and utterly failing

My god the CIA lady admitting they were selling crack to black communities to fund their operations

What a good show
- The parody Pepsi ad which was just beat for beat the real BLM Pepsi ad was amazing
Me watching that scene in the boys: wow, that depiction of stochastic terrorism seems really overly simple.

Unhinged racist with a knife: I'm a simple man.
- Yeah it was really over the top and ridiculous when I saw that scene, pulled me out of the narrative. Little did I know that the brainworms are really that bad

Fox News even tried to defend itself in court many years ago by calling itself "entertainment" instead of "news."

Think of that whenever someone tells you their entertainment has no effect on them because it's just entertainment. The lines between entertainment and propaganda (and advertising for that matter) are very blurry and may as well cease to exist at times.

EDIT: I thought that case was decided in Fox News' favor, but in case I heard incorrectly, edited that out.

Are you talking about the lawsuit over voting fraud? Fox didn't win that suit, they settled it out of court after it looked like they were gonna lose. The case is Dominion Voting Systems v. Fox News Network if you wanna look it up
- Maybe I heard incorrectly. I'm glad that it wasn't as clear a win to them as I heard it had been.
- I think this is what they're talking about: https://www.npr.org/2020/09/29/917747123/you-literally-cant-believe-the-facts-tucker-carlson-tells-you-so-say-fox-s-lawye

I hope he gets life.

Hope he gets death
- Hope he gets in between. Like the God-Emperor from Warhammer, but powerless. Not dead, but not alive, for eternity.
I hope he gets the opposite.

Strap him to a rocket and send him to Tel Aviv
- No, that is an honor reserved only for Allah's strongest soldiers

Landlords have weak brains, who'da thunk

Yeah but have you ever considerd that "pEoPlE cHoOsE tO bElIeVe In PrOpAgAnDa!!!!! I AM BIG BRAINED LEFTIST YOU MUST AGREE WITH ME OR ELSE YOU ARE REACTIONARY UWUWUWUWU!!!"

That was a very bad thread.
- That post took the thesis of Masses, Elites, and Rebels and warped it to the point it became dumb. It'd be like reading Oppose Book Worship and coming to the conclusion that you should never read theory.

Something like this tests my ability to condemn torture.

The animal part of my brain screams to have this man pulled apart one limb at a time.

Look, we're not monsters, we can euthanize him humanely. In the

Look, I'm not a prison abolitionist shrug-outta-hecks

don't need a prison to show this guy the wall

- How would jailing this person let him (or people like him) get away with it?
soviets had prisons also, imho judging all prisons by america's example is like judging all governments by america's example. like as much as europe sucks they have countries where the cops don't kill as many people proportionally. some countries have prison systems that focus on rehabilitation instead of retribution. it's like judging all military actions by the nazi's example (i.e. resisting genocide with violence makes you just as bad as the genociders!)

this is some Nietzsche shit, unspoken (but implied) mass communication strategies for dominance in a geopolitical consent war polluting the minds of uninvolved outsiders

i don't have anything funny to say

I’m going to throw up

This country is demonic
