    I think it's just frustration caused by personal failures to undo the propaganda. When you explain and justify how something is false and then deeply explain how something else is correct and they actively choose the false thing then people get frustrated and give up. Once they've given up on that then the only solutions left are burying them all.

      About where I'm at. I couldn't give the first fuck about a white Amerikan anymore; I'm organizing for my folk and my folk alone until we've allied with other subjects-of-empire with similar grievance. And if that don't work, I'm getting the fuck out on my ones.

        I hate pretty much everyone. People are not inherently good no matter where they come from.

        I hate the conservative black Democrats who all hate gay people and vote in droves for Joe Biden types in Dem primaries.

        I hate the Hispanic "macho" swine and their "I immigrated the right way" BS.

        I hate the Chinese ex-pats that go with Falun Gong nonsense because they were too greedy to stay in the greatest country on earth.

        It sucks. I hate this place. I am a hermit by choice and if it wasn't for specific hobbies and orgs I just wouldn't be around people. Nature is so much better for my mental health.

      100% it's frustration with people for not being able/willing to follow the path we did. i think it's a natural response to a stubborn rejection of the seemingly obvious

      to some extent i think it's probably impossible to live in a world that so thoroughly rejects what you see as truth and not be somewhat embittered with others as a result

    FALLING for tasty treat brain melt propaganda!"

    I disagree with this post completely. Please read this article if you haven't. Westerners are not gullible little know-nothings that are helplessly caught up in the propaganda. They actively seek it out in order to justify their exploitative way of life.

          I'm more making fun of people who mock them for chugging the kool aid but the change their tone once there's a more serious discussion of westoids kool aid chugging habit.

            You can do both, i can make fun of the psychos who fell into bullshit and still acknowledge that is a shame that they fell into something that they were being programmed to do

            If propaganda doesnt do anything and people are just the way they are. Why bother doing propaganda? Why fly american warjets over thr superbowl even though it costs an insane amount of money

              Obviously propaganda does something, it would be ridiculous to argue otherwise. But propaganda is ridiculously effective on Americans, more than it really should be, so much so it feels like the propagandists have gotten kinda lazy with it because they know they don't have to put enough effort it.

              I don't think propaganda would work this well if the population wasn't actively buying into it rather than just being passively exposed to it.

                The more money you spend on propaganda the more effective it is.

                Americans have unique material circumstances being benefactors of the imperial core and being completed isolated amongst other things.

                    You know what I mean

                    i mean this kind of reasoning you have is pretty nasty if you apply it anywhere else, for example the black community. they should just know better right?

      It's not real propaganda unless it comes from the Ganda region of Italy

          lea-finger-guns I definitely should have said "it's not proper Ganda". We workshopped it together

    I remember a joke that was like "leftists already have the equivalent to macho self help, it's called marxism, it's the philosophy of an old white guy and makes you think you understand everything and get overconfident about complex topics"

      Uh, maybe in the original Hebrew. But I see several words here that are in all the English translations. "You" for example.
