Based and Red Pilled Gigachad, many such cases 😔

I’ve checked the rules and I don’t think this comm is explicitly non political

Don’t feel bad, bro. I am shitposting and there was literally a political meme comm that I didn’t post this on instead. Today just seemed like a good day for it. You had a valid take though, I’m sure you’re not the only one

So, as you can see, the tips of the horseshoe are where the Russian Propaganda lives.

Did we see the same rules? I think it’s okay on this comm but I get that people would be exhausted by now

@Decoy321 or any other mods: Might not be a bad idea to enforce tagging of political content, and then make a sticky with a quick how-to on filtering, so users can easily skip the whole category if they so choose

Documentation Megathread

To be fair, everyone’s views are shaped by propaganda of some kind, it’s quite literally unavoidable if you exist within any society. Lots of people like to think that their ideas are just the product of their own independent thinking, but that isn’t really how people work.

I personally like to listen to both sides of the story so that I can absorb 2x the disinformation

Yes, but most propaganda is not specifically fascist in nature.

You’re not wrong. I like to think I’m immune to proponganda because I’m anarchist but it’s pretty obvious that I can be fooled just as easily as anyone by the pretense of speaking truth to power

I mean, sure, like a year ago but at this point I also don’t trust what the government and mainstream media say.

I only trust cats :3

The key is to be constantly aware of it. Never follow someone blindly.

I see you’re in the (warm furry pockets) of big cat!

Hey horseshoe theory, wanna… touch tips?

If you look into it an amazing amount of them are further funded by Russia. Not solely but enough to make them bigger than they’d be otherwise.

I prefer the Pac-Man interpretation

If you look into it an amazing amount of them are further funded by Russia.

You seem to know more than me based on your response. You are claiming an amazing amount are funded by Russia, are there any decently recent sources which support your claim that you can direct me to? Do these people also take money from US-based right-wing organizations?

They cancel each other out if you’re lucky

It depends on the phase. Sometimes you get constructive interference and they add up instead.
