Imperial shill list

  • Ultimately the problem is that the mods for the communities they frequently post to have allowed this to go on for years. They have to know by now what’s going on, and by doing nothing they tacitly endorse it.

  • The great majority of the world’s “tankies” aren’t from the Global North but from the Global South and from actually-existing socialist states like China, Vietnam, and Cuba.

  • For a hot minute that ICE agent was a US “illegal” in Ecuadorian territory.

  • It’s widely-know.

  • So which instance is politically neutral

    There is no such thing as “politically neutral.” What you perceive as neutral is that which is hegemonic.

  • Anything even remotely pertaining to China is flooded with the Chinese state actors reply guys and bots.

  • What’s rampant is imperial core propaganda. You see the “Chinese propaganda” as “rampant” because you’re used to seeing only imperial core propaganda, which is how the internet looks on corporate media, including corporate social media.

    Previously:

    The first step is to understand the media, which Media Bias/Fact Check and the Ad Fontes Media* are never going to teach you. The only people who are taught it are those who get degrees in marketing, public relations, political science, history, and journalism; and even then only some of them.

    The new post-Trump/“post-truth” media literacy curricula won’t teach it to you either, because it was paid for and crafted by the US military-industrial complex: New Media Literacy Standards Aim to Combat ‘Truth Decay’. This week, the RAND Corporation released a new set of media literacy standards designed to support schools in this task.

    The standards are part of RAND’s ongoing project on “truth decay”: a phenomenon that RAND researchers describe as “the diminishing role that facts, data, and analysis play in our political and civic discourse.”

    None of it is a secret, though, and it can be learned.


    I’ve criticized MBFC & Ad Fontes before:

  • Every time I see UpScrolled I think of Upgrayedd from Idiocracy.

  • The Brownshiirts weren’t cops, either, but that didn’t stop them from murdering people.

    McSweeney’s: ICE Is Nothing Like the Brownshirts, Because the Brownshirts Actually Identified Themselves

    Let’s say it again: ICE is nothing like the Brownshirts. One was an open paramilitary wing of an openly fascist political party, the other is an unaccountable government force operating without clear uniforms, identification, or transparency… for an openly fascist political party. There are SOME similarities between them, that’s true, but ICE is more like… well, we don’t really have a word for it in English. They are like… a government-sanctioned organization that operates without uniforms, masks its identity, infiltrates civilian spaces, and detains people without oversight, like some sort of… secretive… police-like thing.

    But just because there isn’t a name for something like that does not give you the right to call ICE agents Brownshirts. That’d be like calling asbestos a “toxin.” Yeah, both will kill you, but THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING.

  • Lemmy’s Markdown is based on markdown-it^1 which is based on CommonMark.

  • Anyone interested in your second point might look into In-Q-Tel or the book Palo Alto.

  • We don’t have the Democrats. The wealthy have both parties. The US has one party and a bunch of kayfabe to create an illusion of choice.

  • No, I have something against the shitty little asshole I used to be.

    That’s still you, buddy, and sorry to hear about your capitalist realism brainworms.

  • The only person I know who ever denied the Armenian genocide was Cenk Uygur, which he later walked back.

    An Bosnian genocide is much more controversial. That the Srebrenica massacre constituted genocide had been refuted by a number of scholars, including Noam Chomsky, Edward Herman, and Michael Parenti.

  • The ‘burden of proof’ is not on me.

    Yes, it is.

    I am not here to win an argument.

    Clearly you are.
