  • Blue MAGA is a baseless propaganda attempt to claim Democrats are the same as MAGA Republicans. Basically, it's repackaged "both sides" bullshit

  • I have tried--the instructions are woefully inadequate. I tried following them to build Ventoy and had to make numerous modifications just to get the first couple of components to build. At that point I gave up

  • Everyone will call you friend as long as you agree with them. And libs punch Nazis. Are you a Nazi?

  • You mean like "shitlib"?

  • Because there's nothing to understand. Have the day you deserve!

  • No, it doesn't. Just repeating a statement, slightly modified, doesn't mean it makes sense.

  • After I saw that issue, I attempted to build Ventoy from source. After making numerous modifications and getting only the first couple components built, I got tired of it and quit. I've made some modifications to glim and use that instead, although it's still not as easy as Ventoy. But I don't trust Ventoy if I can't build it myself.

    Further, when @vkc@linuxmom.net made some criticisms of Ventoy in one of her YouTube videos, she was subjected to a harassment campaign, and others told her the same happened to them. That pushed me from not trusting Ventoy to actively distrusting it.

  • That makes no sense

  • AIPAC is funded by Israel, Republicans, and Democrats, so you can't draw any strong conclusions about party affiliation from involvement in AIPAC alone. Further, AIPAC isn't the only, or even the biggest, donor to Biden and Harris, so claiming they're "bought and paid for" strains credulity.

    MAGA isn't solely characterized by Zionism, and not all Zionists are MAGA, so going from "Zionism" to "MAGA" is an unsubstantiated leap.

    Finally, receiving donations from a death cult does not make one part of a death cult. Morally reprehensible? Yes.

  • They might label some people incorrectly as russian agents, but the reality is that there is a concerted effort by russia to undermine the US democracy, mostly directed at the Democratic Party, and making some mistakes doesn't make them delusional.

    It's pretty hard to prosecute propaganda in the US due to the First Amendment, so it's not accurate to say that just because the Greens can run, they must not be russian agents.

    The concern about the Greens is eminently logical: they are never going to win, so the best they can do is take votes from the Democrats, allowing the fascists to win. This is in fact what happened in the election of Polk, leading to the Mexican-American war and the theft of Texas from Mexico, which was then admitted as an additional slave state. Further, the Greens do little to nothing other than run in big national races, so it's not a leap to think they're deliberately running a spoiler campaign.

    Finally, none of that has anything to do with the silly attempt to label Democrats as "Blue MAGA", since MAGA is a quasi-religious fascist personality cult, none of which can be credibly attributed to Democrats.

  • Blue MAGA

    Lol. Lmao, even

  • I lost all confidence in it when it rated Jerusalem Post and Euronews (associated with Viktor Orban) as "highly reliable". Both push the pro-fascist narratives of their associated governments. It's better to have no labeling than to label fascist propaganda as "highly reliable"

  • I feel so bad for that girl. She looks shell shocked in every picture I've seen of this

  • I don't, because there isn't any

  • This same "discovery" gets reported on once or twice a year; it's starting to feel like a FUD campaign rather than actual research

  • Because the liberal Supreme Court largely supported democracy, while the conservative one isn't even trying to hide its promotion of fascism. There is no both sides here

  • That's a ridiculous idea. If I buy a computer with an OS that has an encryption key to protect the hard drive, and later I need that key to remove my data to another system, I have an entirely reasonable expectation that I'm allowed to do so, regardless of how much the computer manufacturer doesn't want me to.

  • "We will rebuild!"
