Children for the rich / eugenics for the poor.

Inhumane and monstrous.

But at least capitalism would finally implode after the rich realize without exploitation of the workers they got rid of the backbone of their society

So is I understand, but I disagree bc … allowed?

Emacs was always the superior program since it was released by Richard Stallman in 1985.

Easily agreed.

That being said I can’t go back from my meow modal keybindings

Ppl put a lot of thought in their rage bait these days

Shit I wouldn’t say unwatchable but I was greatly disappointed and think the praise it has gotten was unjustified.

Their first movie “Swiss Army man” was original, edgy and deep

EEOAO was well done, but it was neither of those three. It was a longer, less creative, real-life Rick and Morty episode if you ask me.

Right they are now on fdroid I found out recently, pretty cool

I wouldn’t know I am just a CPC shill I am not concerned with questions unrelated to Xi.

But if you’re looking for John Connor it’s that guy 👇

Dude, take a break!

I mean I completely disagree with you, but this thread can’t be healthy for you. What purpose is it serving to get enraged here?

I’d say take a breather and if you dare: ask yourself how reliable your impression of China really is, maybe research some older claims that have been proven to be misrepresented or false, like this for example. Not saying you have to become a fan, but there seems to be a propaganda effort to prepare the public for a economic/military war with China. So more people need to be sceptical.

You seem to haven’t accepted it yet, but the capitalist class, through the means of communication they control, construct most impressions you have of foreign countries (without them being able to interject) and facts are negligable as they have been in the news-medias support of every US war effort in history as well.

I got a little carried away, but I meant it in good faith, you decided to wear a badge of socialism after all.

What you do is obviously up to you!

Dude, on lemmy consent is just not as heavily manufactured by capital interest as on other platforms.

Its the absence of bots you’re experincing and possibly some withdrawal symptoms.

All good we’re here for you, one doesn’t get off of propaganda easily

The post itself is dumb, so I wouldn’t complain about dumb comments

Tbh, I find the hexbears quite refreshing👌

I have BraveNewPipe which has the sponsorblock patch too but allows me to follow Greenwalds system update on rumble

Do you still have to do the whole export import of your subscriptions thing? Or do you just not use subscriptions? Can it sync playlists across devices?

Yup, still need to do export/import. Re syncing: you’d have to use an external syncing mechanism like syncthing or nextcloud and even then you’d need to export manually.

I don’t think NewPipe will ever get any syncing mechanism itself, it tries to be privacy first and doesn’t support any server side code, they rejected the SponsorBlock patch bc it leakes data to a server as well

Its a very cool app and enough for me, but some things just will not be possible

Great news! I really hope for the people of Niger that they can avoid a gruesome proxy/civil war that the western colonial powers seem keen on forcing upon them

Call me buddy all you want but it doesn’t change the fact that you are not good at making sense

Why are you jumping to conclusions so weirdly?

Case in point that complete second half is you responding to conclusions you’ve drawn up in your head. Re-read this thread, nowhere is it ever about ML or socialism. You think its accurate to call me ML because…?

This thread is about US propaganda on reddit, which I characterized by posting a fact that is affected by it (with the goal of fabricating consent for military action against another country).

Your mind is closed AF when you equate my mention of that with being a “LEniNisT tyRanT LoVEr”

You are the one dismissing anything which doesn’t align with a very narrow ML head-cannon as indicative of being a US intelligence asset

An obviously completly untruthful rendition of my statement. I phrased it carefully so if you’d do me the favor and try harder to understand it.

I would appreciate it if you could refrain from purposefully misrepresenting my statements as you have done in every one of your comments so far

A big part of my gripe here is precisely the idea that one can engage in critical analysis of statecraft, while hand waving away inconvenient statecraft. Or worse - supporting broad censorship of inconvenient statecraft.

I have no idea what that sentence is supposed to mean.

My gripe here is that nobody can have an informed opinion on foreign policy if they do not acknowledge the tons of pro US propaganda that surround them on EVERY issue in this category and dominate most of it.

It is important to call you out on your power-serving statements.

You tried to push critical thought out of the overton window when you painted it a kind of sacrilege (“make folk heroes out of tyrants”) and everyone engaging in it someone that needs to be shunned by society (a “tankie”).

Mind you all without addressing, let alone contesting, the facts.

With all due respect: As long as your actions are indistinguishable from those of a US intelligence social media asset, don’t expect any good will engagement.

Have an open mind and start to reflect a little more

On a Pixel with GrapheneOS

I use KISS, I wanted an opensource launcher

Its quick actions, history and tags are exactly what I need.

You need to customize it heavily to get it to look good: I use a very minimal amoledBlack&white config with Arcticons and I love it

Lol standard halfwit take:

Adopting the “tankie” slur for everyone without substance and obviously no knowledge of what they are talking about - check

Being embedded in propaganda and blaming others who point it out - check

“You’re not including facts” - lol for what? Am I responding to a factual argument? Am I demanding facts from you?

But sure have some facts:

Guardian from 2011 - Revealed: US spy operation that manipulates social media

Intercept from 2014 - HACKING ONLINE POLLS AND OTHER WAYS BRITISH SPIES SEEK TO CONTROL THE INTERNET

Believe me it has only gotten worse in the >10 years since

Twitter files revealed pentagon bots were whitelisted as well

If you miss your propaganda friends that hard reddit is still there for you

Edit: I realize your missing punctuation threw me off, I read: “(aka anything, they don’t like including facts)” …doesn’t change much though

I legitimately don’t understand why Leninists are so keen on making folk heroes out of tyrants.

What a sentence! You’re jumping to conclusions all over the place!

You’re conflating information with a desire to “make folk heroes out of tyrants”, trying to denormalise a desire to understand what was actually happening.

There was bloodshed but not on the Tienanmen square and the conditions are less clear than you believe

It is obvious that most peoples idea of what happened is heavily influenced by propaganda, I know mine was.

If you could stop sabotaging efforts to cut through the disinformation that would be great thanks

Also: “They are tyrants” thanks I’ll defer judgement as long as the evidence you present us with turns out to be propaganda, there are other “tyrannical governments” much more in reach

I agree, the best thing is to not jump to conclusions neither the conclusion “Everything is 100% CIA lies” nor the conclusion “China bad” and be patient with individual topics before stepping onto the emotional roller coaster

I’ve listened to a podcast (“Silk and Steel”) by a Chinese living in the US and he describes the media coverage of China in the West as skewed, but he describes it as narrowed onto a certain slice of Chinese reality that is there just blown out of proportion.

I don’t remember his exact words and I am not an English native so I might not transfer the nuance precisely. But along those lines is what I remember. And even IIRC its just the opinion of one person, but it stuck with me. Tbf that was years ago though and narrative has certainly picked up since then

Thank you for the appreciation, I have to say I have yet to get used to the discussions on lemmy being seemingly way more good-faithed than on reddit!

Also your summary sounds like ChatGPT

Nah they have a typo (“anit-China”) in their summary I think they’re fine.
