  • This is my 1000th comment on Lemmy and I think it’s a good time to take a look back. It’s already been 2.5 years, and although I haven’t participated much, I feel I have started to learn a lot and grow politically thanks to Lemmygrad, Hexbear more recently, and a few comrades on lemmy.ml and other instances (even the occasional .world). 2 years ago I was very much a lib. Now I sometimes take the time to read through articles, made a list of books to read and bought a few, to my family and I. To reflect, time passes too quickly and I haven’t read the tiny Engels book on my night stand. I’m lucky enough to not have a physically demanding job but at the end of the day I’m still exhausted and drained. I wish others in my branch could realize we are very much exploited, even though it is at different degrees. Another bothering point is that even the leftist of my friends has a hard time challenging the non stop propaganda we are fed, and it’s depressing

    This comment was a mess. Thank you Lemmygrad, keep it up, and for those who have the energy to explain basic things to liberals: yes, it matters



  • Yes you’re absolutely right to question the source! You should always do that

    This doesn’t have a strong real vibe and we don’t really need this example to be true so idk who would try and find the original tweet with success after some already failed

    There are so many articles and tweets out there with false accusations that have been debunked, this can be taken as an example meme to easily illustrate the issue with propaganda we encounter in our lives.

    Sometimes it is that blatant, like “tank man” being cited as having been run over by tanks going to Tiananmen Square, even though it is easily checkable that the tanks were going OUT of the square in the morning after the riots, and videos of this man exist from the same view point, showing him walking on the tank and talking with the soldiers for some time before going off
