i think it was better not knowing that there were movies; but i guess it makes sense if they’re american made.

not by the tiktok refugees that flooded rednote.

there’s so many of us that rednote is going to create a non-chinese version of rednote.

does it have anything to do with his relationship to epstein?

thank you for sharing this; i had it enabled and i didn’t realize it until now.

tell that to the maoists and the stalinists. lol

no Marxist worth their salt would answer this way.

how about a trotskyist? lol

the most important parts are hidden behind national security; the stuff they release won’t do shit.

we’ll forget epstein too by the next presidential election

perfect irony that the incel manifesto is written by a woman. lol

faces-of-death if you grew up in the 70’s & 80’s

they used to show that shit in school as a warning lessons. lol

pixels are non-starters for me; i don’t want to make google any richer than i already have by being stuck in their ecosystem and my main concern is privacy from commercial entities.

i can recognize that i would be hopelessly outmatched by the american or isreali governments who have ultimate weaponry like prism or pegasus no matter what i did.

Politics influences every single aspect of everyone’s life and is the core reason why Windows is so dominant on the desktop despite there being a significantly better alternatives w Linux.

i love british scifi, comedy, literature, and the lofty aspirations of og liberal thinkers from centuries past.

i think it’s a result of growing up inside the anglosphere.

no one is immune to propaganda and both goebbels and bernays have demonstrated to the world how effectively critical thinking can be shaped through controlled narratives.

china exhibits draconian measures to issues like tiananmen because it was a genuine protest and DEEPLY inconvenient for the chinese government. it was only one of many protests that caused civil unrest throughout the entire country (ie it was much bigger than just tiananmen square) and they really don’t want a repeat of that violence.

in typical western fashion, the legacy media latched onto a kernel of truth and shaped the narrative of that a fledgling neoliberal democracy movement when the truth was that the protesters that pushed for such a thing were an overwhelmingly small minority when you consider the huge number of protestors taking to the streets during that time throughout the entire country.

china doesn’t have oligarchic ruling class solidarity like the united states or the rest of west does so it’s silencing of dissent is much more blunt and direct through government apparatuses where the western oligarchies prefers to employ significantly more subtle and easier to hide dissent silencing like deplatforming and sanctions against individuals like francesca albanese or 9 of the icc judges.

that magat characterization makes sense if you were aware that magats perceive the world through intentional misinformation that’s perpetually reinforced in the west by the likes of fox news (for red maga) and the likes of the state department (for blue maga).

also any conspiracy theory is not necessary when the accusations have been confirmed multiple times during congressional hearings by the likes of the state state department and it’s ngo’s when they publicly admitted (on the record btw) that they intentionally peddled propaganda to the public.

your centuries old examples of us-uk belligerence feels cherry picked when better examples like the suez canal incident makes it clear who’s calling the shots.

the us hegemony takes the cake when it comes to journalism when you consider that its proxy in the middle east alone has literally bombed to death more journalists that china could ever fantasize about and the likes of julian assange, francesca albanese, or any of the 9 icc judges can attest how much impactful sanctions are than government minders.

the only fault lies with the american government and the people who believe what they say when the american government has publicly admitted themselves that they’ve intentional misinformed the public; this fact alone make red maga less culpable for the world’s woes than the liberals.

the lesson is that you don’t let people witness the strong hurting the weak. they’ve already enacted this lesson upon legacy media decades ago and are now applying it to social media as well; the next generation will never be able to see a live streamed genocide like genz did.

people aren’t exhausted enough and the litmus test for true exhaustion can be answered by asking if they’ll stop voting with red or blue maga; we’ll continue to keep going round-and-around this circus until that answer changes … either that or enough people try to start pulling out the guillotines.

it’s mind boggling to me that red magats bought this and blue magats didn’t see it coming.

i wonder what narrative the latter group is going to use now to attack trump now that they seemingly got what they’ve been pushing for.

Microsoft have long-demonstrated they could reach out the computer monitor and slap every user around a bit with a large trout, and still keep 95% of their user base.

so too can the democrats w their base. lol
