Doing this after Venezuela recently foiled bombing attempts and other terrorism in their country is certainly an optics strategy. Well, I'm sure they weren't doing this before!
Glad we pulled you out of your shell after a day of not commenting. This is a very low-quality reply. Try to make more high-quality replies to contribute to discussions on Lemmy. Thanks.
In order to face this problem we need to move beyond individualistic causes like "people are right wing because they are pathetic incels". I got the same results from trying to reason with people. These are serious psyops programs, and we need to remember that most people don't listen to each other but whatever form of "television" makes them feel good. People can respond to real hardship by becoming selfish and horrible, or they can respond to having everything and never facing their own flaws by seeking out sadism for thrills, there are so many ways people's minds can spoil. The structure of the belief system that pulls them in is what needs to be confronted, not their individual pathologies.
It's unavoidable, but if you veer into spamming All to promote it, I am likely to block you or your entire community. Don't just try to make something happen so you can be a mod of something. Start a conversation. So many comms on the wider instances are worthless clones of typical reddit categories like Wacky Memes. Nobody needs that.
Are you referring to the like twenty minute video where a guy stands in front of a tank and even jumps on top of it before two other protestors come by and he walks off with them willingly? Not even the US embassy in China claimed there was a "massacre". Was the embassy full of tankies?
Can we not do the "DEFILED BODIES OF PALESTINIANS WAS ON MY BINGO CARD FOR 2025!!!" posting it's just personal taste based on how desensitized we are but I just knew someone was going to comment "fork found in kitchen!! Lol" on this
That is what I assumed. Figured it would mainly replace stationary power storage where energy density matters less. Hasn't stopped them rolling out sodium-ion scooters. I would have assumed that was just too tiny.
A tankie is a fascist who wants everyone in the concentration camp to share a toothbrush. They're typically rejects from their own community that crave revenge against people who want a truly better world, such as Barack Obama and Keir Starmer.
Rather than focus purely on the group dynamic, I encourage people to read Madness by Justin Garson. It's an exploration of the neuroprotective aspects of mental illness, the biological reasons why people cling to false hope or pursue delusions.
Considering the research that has been done by psychologists employed by the US disinformation systems producing narratives like QAnon and Russiagate, I assume these tricks are already known quantities being exploited. That's just my read though, Garson never brings up anything like that.
Considering the main usage of the phrase "as left as it gets" is to denounce anyone more radical than the speaker, who is typically about as left as Mussolini, that's too accurate
Good ass book and I'm surprised people sleep on Losurdo considering he's a Parenti type figure in western academia with lots of quirky opinions. I gues antiimperialism is a deal breaker for them
I for one am shocked that nobody has listened to The Guardian et all telling us lithium is oil, hydrogen doesn't exist and sodium ion... maybe they will say we are salty
Okay dude I'm sure you were bombing the Israeli supply lines and not just doing drugs and fucking shit up like everyone else who didn't know what to do. I live fifteen minutes away from a hike you don't want to get into a window smashing or grass touching competition with me smdh
