reading the epstein illuminait revel at their ability to socially engineer consent & narrative on a global scale and then witnessing it happen in real time (but now with the awareness of it) as my fellow countrymen start to believe that putin was responsible for epstein sometimes makes me forget that there are sane people out there and i’m glad to see it.

why do you have to insult me like that?! lol

i’m building upon a parallel that @Szewek@sopuli.xyz created between the lemmyverse and geopolitics.

🤦‍♂️

some progressives have always broken through; that’s why we have bernie, aoc, omar, pressley, etc. and those numbers already outmatch the few recent victories that progressives have enjoyed.

to be fair: i hope that you’re right, but i doubt it very much as i watch americans start to blame the epstein illuminati on russia.

i wish you would

some part of me feels disappointed that you didn’t upload the meme of the astronauts saying this. lol

there isn’t enough bread and circuses on the lemmyverse to convince them to join.

the lemmyverse’s only true export is substantive discourse and information exchange free of the sort of “narrative management” and “suppression protocols” that the epstein illuminati revels in practicing on social media and even that is marred considerably by the most popular instances’ embrace of american propaganda and consent manufacturing.

the christian trinity is also fascinating; it’s one of the most modern examples of this sort of god-powers-changing-hands phenomenon when i used tolkien and the greek/roman pantheon as examples.

I appreciate the information and your politeness.

you should consider changing primary instances if you’re hit with rudeness so much that you felt the need to say this.

The more progressives win, the more influence they can exert on the party.

this has been the entire reasoning behind voting for the “lesser evil” for a majority of the last century and it has ended up with those unprepared and unwilling democrats in charge.

why would it be different now?

The major prophets of Abrahamic monotheism are pretty clearly men, with flaws and no major powers

that’s another fascinating aspect about how these religions morphed in christianity, judiasm & islam that i learned.

the gods slowly lose their god powers over the millennia and those powers are either re-attributed to the one god; that would later be the same god that the christians, jews & muslims worship today; or just disappear altogether. the end result is that you have one god with all of the powers and just regular people.

it’s a bit like how tolkien described middle earth or how greek/roman pantheon describe the ages going from heroes to men, with the old ages defined by powerful creatures like the titans and balrogs at the begging of history and then a slow degradation of power to the point of ordinary men and hobbits in the current age.

like almost everything else, the only way to shut it down is to stop participating with it.

that means individuals either have to stop using linkedin & smartphones or perpetually stay informed about how to effectively counteract it.

the isreali children get it much worse

i’ve felt the same way except i see lemmy.world like the usa, manufacturing consent and peddling propaganda on the lemmyverse with vassal instances like sopuli and shitjustworks benefiting from it like the vassal states of western europe have done; a lot like how the prime minister of canada explained it recently.

confirmed emails from the ghislaine maxwell case that the isreali oligarchy had been “managing narratives” on reddit in a similar way to that of the epstein illuminati controlled 4chan’s /poll/ with things like qanon & pizzagate makes me feel like i’ve dodged a bullet by staying away from both reddit and the diet-reddits of the lemmyverse.

i fully expect that piefed will be like trump going after greenland and make the people of the vassal lemmy instances realize that their instances will diminish on the lemmyverse like the western europeans will soon realize that their countries will lose prominence on the world’s stage.

those people will find that they must return to reddit or go to piefed to continue receiving their iv drips of isreali/us misinformation and breads-&-circuses meanwhile the center of the lemmy’s original leftist communities & instances like hexbear will keep on going strong like they have been despite the lemmyverse censure in the same way that china prevailed against the western world’s censure to thrive compared to the declining us empire and it’s vassal states.

yes i was and that’s the context of why i asked my teacher about marx; it don’t remember exact wording, but it was to the effect that evil people like hitler and marx had fooled europeans in the past into committing many atrocities so the united states created the un so that the united states wouldn’t have to keep protecting the world by itself.

is anything safe?

that’s the worst kind of advertisements; especially the subtle ones.

normally, americans would see canceling elections as “authoritarians” but it’s clearly okay if europeans do it. lol

your mama so fat, her blood type is ragu. lol

i wish that they would. but they never seem to.
