    I think because their media consumption is gamified. If i post certain things you get down votes and negative comments citing convincing (but fallacious) arguments that make me feel inferior. If I post other things I get positive comments and upvotes that make me feel smart.

    Once people get conditioned to it they’re basically immune to facts since facts that run contrary to their social conditioning make them feel yucky.


  • How is the Cradle as far as good quality left journos go? I’ve been collecting receipts on most of the articles mentioned here so its not a matter of whether I believe this article, I’d pieced it together (although I’m looking forward to translating the article that demonstrates that the Hannibal protocol was officially ordered; the last I read was Al Jazeera speculating that maybe it was but it hadn’t been official policy in a long time,) but I’m just a guy who does political organizing and the last thing I feel like dealing with is someone motivated by me confronting them with this article due to their past comments, or even well-meaning but muddle headed comrades, throwing it back at me that its a bad source periodical, and showing some goofy article about time travel or something


  • Its probably like it is in other places, there are more or less historically accurate “left” views that go unreported, completely bias mass media pushing the imperialist line, and popular media that appeals to petite bourg and aspirational, effite workers that pushes a propagandized version of history that is somewhere in the middle.

    I forget where I heard/read it, so idk sources, but like Yeonmi Park is on a South Korean reality show akin to “real housewives” drivel. And as we know when she comes here she feeds the pigs, “we had to eat rats and dirt,” but on the reality show she is like, “The communists took away my family’s rental properties” which is probably true. They can’t pull the same ridiculous bullshit there, because most people have lived experiences that would contradict her lies. So they tell like a very varnished and bias version of the truth, to people who (for example) would be very upset at the prospect of losing rental income or even like a small business or something. To the oppressor, that is those who benefit from oppression and colonization, making things fair and equal is, to them, the same as being oppressed.


  • I’m all about holding elected officials responsible, but this goes too far. Joe Biden is pictured with the Bloodletter weapon from Bloodborne, which is a str/bloodtinge weapon, when Biden has always been a quality build. That means he would be holding Ludwig’s Holy Blade, the only true quality weapon in the game.

    The left needs to stop promoting false narratives and start dealing with facts before making baseless propaganda, or regular people will never take us seriously
