Damn, sometimes they just really have those little mask slips and reveal their true agenda.

It is well known that actually being in China hampers the ability to write about it, due to communism brain waves or some such. They’ll be able to tell us the truth about China now without any of that pesky Chinese interference!

Talks about “us”

Insists on Optics above understanding and reality

Acts as if there are a million contradictory narratives so we should just go with the mainstream (western) narrative.

They always think they’re so clever as well with their “witty” comebacks. I notice they’re always ignoring responses that they can’t actually challenge. Nothing says “my position is the correct one” quite like just pretending the people who point out the flaws in it just don’t exist and only focusing on the people insulting them.

These are the people claiming they are the “adults in the room” and that anyone who disagrees with their child murder is just being “petulant.”

It’s always projection with westerners, same as when they say that the people from (insert enemy country here) are bloodthirsty and violent and therefore must be destroyed.

It feels like trying to explain that the Divine Right of Kings is nonsense to a medieval peasant. They just flat out don’t seem to get it and worry that if they think about it too much, it’ll make God mad.

electoralism can’t work, voting won’t fix this

voting for the democrats is bad

It’s much more a case of electoralism does nothing to help the working class people, only the rich and by voting for the parties and participating in their system, you’re accepting their false idea that voting for one of two genocidal parties is the only option.

So it’s an idea that electoralism will do nothing to stop the genocide, but will provide support for the very system that has lead to this “choice” between two actively genocidal parties. The US tries to frame itself as a democracy, but if the people actively opposed the system, recognising it as undemocratic, the ruling class would need to actively give concessions to the working class, or face revolt.

It’s like a worker’s strike. If your boss treats you like shit and doesn’t listen to anything you or the vast majority of their employees say, then you make your voices heard one way or another, if the “official channels” for making your voice heard don’t work, then you need to use a different method, the alternative of passive acceptance of the system does nothing but show the people in charge that they can continue on their current path and people will do nothing to stop them.

So since the democrats refuse to budge on this issue of genocide, we can surmise that “electoralism can’t work, voting won’t fix this.” as the powers that be will not change their minds on this issue. Voting for the democrats shows that despite them actively supporting a genocide, the voting public won’t “strike” and will meekly accept anything they do, regardless of how horrific it is. So this is why “voting for the democrats is bad.”

It’s true, basic human empathy was invented in 1984 by Vladimir Stalin in order to destroy the west.

It’s going to be agonising watching the libs flip from “There are no nazis in Ukraine” to “Evil Azov was the reason they lost the war.” and act like they’ve been saying that the whole time.

A forever war that wastes Russian resources and feeds the MIC was always one of the major goals of this conflict. I’m not surprised to see Ukraine escalate in horrific ways as peace negotiations get closer and closer to a resolution. Their masters in Washington would never allow it.

I know, I agree with you on that, but I guarantee that the lib above’s point is that Russian==Bad, no thought involved.

That’s the story I heard behind the haircut, he still needed working class votes in order to win election.

Boris Johnson, former Prime Minister of the UK. He had a haircut that looked like he’d been attacked by a seagull as an attempt to appear more “down to earth”

I think it’s more for them than for us. They don’t expect to change minds, they’re just saying “these people are wrong and dumb and I am smart and see things for how they really are.” It’s self-soothing more than trying to educate someone. They don’t know how to handle information that doesn’t fit into their worldview, so they dismiss it without thinking about it.

There is a level of caution that should be exercised, sure, but we shouldn’t dismiss everything out of hand (especially since “independent” third party sources are often even worse with their information.)

When I said “if true” I meant more “if it is accurate” not that I think it is a lie by the evil Russians. News coming out of a Russian person’s mouth doesn’t automatically make it fake (which is what the lib above is saying)

looking into it.

I’m so glad this post was found by brilliant lemmy libs here to teach us right from wrong. I was almost tricked by ebul Putin!

I think it’s the Bojo thing, he’s trying to pretend to be working class by giving himself an embarrassing haircut.
