Clueless MBA parasites ruining shit for everybody again?

Must be a day that ends in Y

This but unironically

The Usenet post I linked to claims it’s originally from the 1st quarter of 1990, but who knows if that’s accurate or not. I actually can’t find a good source for whether Stumpf is the original author or just the one who posted it to rec.humor.funny.reruns, but it’s usually attributed to him at any rate.

But yeah, fairly ancient by internet standards. I remember first running into it in the 90’s

Well, no. The originally German / Nazi tactic called Lügenpresse aka. “Lying Press” is more about just claiming that the press is lying – like how conservatives latched onto calling everything “fake news” after US Republicans and Trump started doing it after their bullshit was called out with that term.

The idea with the “firehose of falsehood”, like the page I linked to explains, is to saturate media with so much high volume and continuous bullshit that people start to doubt whether it’s even possible to know anything about objective reality in the first place. The point isn’t to proclaim that the media is lying, but to simply lie so much that people start to think that all media is just lies. The tactic originated in Russia and has been in use since Soviet times and the internet has allowed them to take it to a completely new level.

And yes, Nazi-controlled media was obviously also full of total fabrications, but that doesn’t mean that these two tactics are the same thing.

Known as the “firehose of falsehood”

They think they’ll be tortured because that’s what they do to others.

No no, apparently that’s “purity testing” and you’re a bad person for not wanting to associate with fascists

“But hur dur bacon”

1374. I look really good for my age

Even without the analogy I’m not sure what the original point is

Pretty sure he had a stroke writing this

Still not dead

Single digit IQ reich-wing troll, business as usual

“The narrative” that everybody should have voting rights?

Oh no, the horror!

Reminds me of Serena from Handmaid’s Tale – she helped install a theocratic dictatorship where one major goal was to strip women of their rights, and was all surprised Pikachu face when she had her rights taken away from her

A rotary notary, if you will

The amount of pants-shitting about the film from people who’d only read the books (probably not even all of them) was, well… predictable

Agh, figures that the Russian Volunteer Corps was apparently in on the action. It just never fails to boggle my mind that the majority of the anti-Russian militias that are fighting in Ukraine are so far right that they think Putin isn’t fascist enough.

Like, yeah, it’s great that they’re fighting Russia, but holy fuck is it this hard to find people in Russia who aren’t complete pieces of shit and are also willing to fight Putin?

Well that’s… weird. Why on earth would they do that?

Assuming any of this is true, at any rate.
