They do an enormous amount of projecting, so maybe it is “Great Man Theory” at work, and to acknowledge it doesn’t work would require the admission of being wrong, and might even threaten their world view of Capitalism being “eternal and right! Law of the jungle baby, survival of the fittest!” (with the irony that they aren’t fit, just sitting on a stolen hoard)

Honestly I think that is why the sack of shit is spewing this nonsense in the first place, instead of hiding in a bunker somewhere, he doesn’t believe it either but he wants to appear strong and brave and powerful “look at me my life is on the line but I don’t run and hide!” but if it was really he’d be hiding like Hitler in a bunker (and hopefully with the same happy ending)

Edit: I wonder if his ego is so massive that he is in complete denial of the fact that the vast majority of humanity would celebrate his death, even in the US. Though I suppose the Global South actually would have less reason to even care as what does it really matter who is president in a country that is bombing you and would be doing so regardless, they have less reason to get caught up in electorial nonsense “do the bombs dropping on us have a swastika or a rainbow flag painted on them” doesn’t really change the reality of it after all.

“Carpet bombing a city is just a distraction from having drone strike’d some guy’s house” kind of argument, and it only gets more ridiculous every time it is used as the number of new crimes attempted to being swept under the rug by redirecting to old crimes grows more numerous, and who does this even work on anyways? Who is going to seriously ignore new crimes, worse, even bigger crimes, because some asshole (or a fed, who knows) tried the shittiest attention redirection attempt again for the trillionth time?

Edit: you know what could bring him down? And Biden, Harris, and really just all of these Capitalist parasites really… A REVOLUTION! And yes it is absolutely possible, but it needs understanding and knowledge of how it is done (Read Marxist Leninist Theory!) and solidarity across the working class, and organization (like being either a Member of at least part of the Action Network of the PSL so that learning and experience and “not doing it alone” can be accrued)

Lay off the “Vibes”, the PSL is a Marxist Leninist party.

I didn’t even realize there was a cartoon version of Sabrina, but yea that was in inspiration.

Cats, being a spell casting witch with a magical talking cat familiar would be amazing, we’d ride together on a flying broom at night beneath an unrealistically large full moon while clouds drift by. It would be truly meowgical. 🐱 🧹 🌕 ✨

Please consider the context and read the room in the future, (or in this case the OP picture for which the thread is about) the time and place of such commentary also changes it’s apparent character. Water under the bridge. 🙃

With or without culture it is not your decision to make O Enlightened Savior!/s This thread is so full of poorly hidden sexist and racist nonsense that it is sickening. The western world is not the savior of the world, it is it’s oppressor, and the oppressor’s feigned concern while it eye’s those resources of the oppressed licking it’s lips, can only be inauthentic from such a position, clean your own house before trying to use the level of cleanness of someone else’s house as some kind of excuse.

What ever problems the Iranians have is their own to figure out and solve unless they explicitly ask for help, and certainly not from Imperialist Liberals from the Global North playing white savior for the “poor, helpless, primitive SaVaGeS” in the form of more Western bombs dropping on their Childrens heads to “free” them (from this mortal coil) like you’re doing them a favor and should thank you for it. /s

That applies to literally everyone and doesn’t justify anything, men are no less or more immune, and the choice should be the one who is or would be wearing or not wearing a given piece of clothing on whether they do or don’t wear it. Neither men nor the state should be taking the agency for women to decide for themselves what to or to not wear.

At best this makes your comment unrelated, random, and pointless, as it says nothing. But we both know you are actually providing cover for the misogynist view that women shouldn’t be able to decide for themselves. It’s not exactly subtle, not even slightly, in fact it is infuriating. So please, look deep inside yourself, reflect, and STOP!

Women need the agency to decide for themselves, and not have the decision made for them by men, or the state. The only way any clothing is really oppressive is if it isn’t a choice, and in that way “not being allowed to wear” is the same as “being forced to wear”. It seems like you are defending the choice being taken from women under the mask of pretending to support the choice being given to them, by pointing to something not even being argued about as the covering mask, like a strawman.

I hope not, no way I could get it if it’s that bad. 😭

It’s because there is attention on it, the US has done shit like this since it’s founding (over the corpses of natives), and despite it being such par for the course stuff done the world over for imperialist super exploitation, this time there is too much attention on it, and so “AI DID IT! Trust me bro!”

I’m more interested in the Frames, I always wanted to try and get into VR but it was always either too expensive or too Facebook.

This wasn’t intended as an attack and I wasn’t trying to be passive aggressive, I was trying to help. As someone struggling to over come life long crippling social anxiety, I’ve been trying to move from being a lurker to actually posting. But it turns out that participating in discussion takes enormously more energy than just lurking, so I did not put in adequate effort into my attempt to help.

I was overwhelmed trying to parse your comment, I’m still terrible at breaking things down into smaller, easier to process pieces, and so all the bundled up errors in your post was too much for me to try and break down and address, but I still wanted to at least try and help.

I was trying to read the rest of your posts in this thread, but I couldn’t get through them all as the way you look down on people hurts my stomach. Please, we mean no hostility, so stop giving us yours. (thank you in advanced)

I think me and Ahmed gave the same answer, but with mine being indirect using an example, and Ahmed’s answer being direct, so maybe people had a harder time understanding Ahmed’s answer.

“Propaganda” “Propagating”, interesting, that makes a lot of sense. As for manipulation, it is a bit of a loaded term, when exposed to new information, one may make a different decision than they otherwise would have, you could say that the exposure to that new information had “manipulated” them, but that wouldn’t make the information necessarily untrue or the “manipulation” as being a “bad thing” (metaphysics territory).

As far as lies go, you don’t need them nor would they even be all that useful when what one advocates for is the truth anyway. (like Scientific Socialism(Marxism Leninism))

Thanks for the mini history lesson by the way.

Thanks BTW, it was reading your posts on lemmy.ml that got me started on this path in the first place, I’d probably still be believing all sorts of absurd lies against Socialist countries if not for you, it has truly opened my mind to an amazing world of both possibilities and a far more hopeful current reality. (that and the depth of the Capitalists crimes against humanity whose true depth I hadn’t known)

Really, I used to live in an utterly hopeless darkness where I thought the only future for humanity was extinction, and it had been eating me up inside, ML Theory enabled me to see the light of humanity, just how beautiful humans can be if given the right conditions, and China has given me astronomically massive hope for the future that I’d still be blind too otherwise.

Thank you, Comrade.

This post is an excellent example of why reading Marxist Leninist Theory should not be treated as optional, there is so much wrong with the post I’m not even sure where to start, and I don’t really have the energy for it either, so unfortunately we’ll just have to leave it at that. (BTW Cowbee has an excellent guide to help you get started Basic and Advanced)

As fiction exists but describes things that may not exist, I think the answer is also yes.
