he’s middle aged

are you aware of any instances that have lasted longer than a few months?

*i’m going to be doing graphene too and i’m waiting for motorola.

My honest stance is that Russia and the US are just as bad as one another. Anyone who defends either of these two countries is suspect to me. I do think the fact that other Eastern European countries flinch at Russia is highly indicative that something clearly went wrong in the Soviet Union. However, I dislike that the CIA got involved in the dissolution of the USSR.

this “both sides” argument is indicative of the extent to which western propaganda has impacted your thought process.

the FOIA litmus test will easily tell you whether or not your source is biased. since the late 1970’s the FOIA has effectively been forcing the us gov’t to publicly admit that it manufactured propaganda about many things including north korea as an “authoritarian” state.

if your source still characterizes north korea as an authoritarian state; then know that they’re giving you propaganda that the us gov’t has already effectively said is fake – in writing – since 1979.

had to look this up and french prose makes this difficult to understand; a paraphrase into english prose makes more sense:

Men will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.

the easiest first step in ensuring that the usa and it’s ilk change their tune is to stop repeating the propaganda the usa already admitted to manufacturing thanks to the freedom of information act.

i’m referring to stuff like this:

I do think China has done some good, but it also doesn’t cancel out the sketchiness. I do agree that we could learn from China, but there’s also a damn good reason why their phones are banned in multiple countries.

Not to mention, at least 250 people died during the Tianamen square incident. Some even estimate that thousands died, but it was at least 250 people.

Plus, China has billionaires. Any truly non-capitalistic country wouldn’t have billionaires. Nor would they have factory workers working for 75 hours per week.

if you’re to repeat their propaganda, you should atleast be getting paid for it.

how do you know what it looked like?

if only it were just yachts; the epstein files shows what they actually use the money for and it makes we wish i hadn’t looked at them.

im presuming that you’re presenting yourself i good faith and you sound like me not long ago; i want to share something that’s been helpful in dispelling the inception like nature of sources from the western that likely gave you this conclusion:

For heaven’s sake, his own guards were scared of him. In fact, he died because he instilled so much fear into them. Personally, I’m more of a collectivist who doesn’t believe in authoritarianism.

(i know that you’re getting this from a western source because you used the word authoritarian).

the freedom of information act, passed in the 1960s, forces the us government to release files – like they released the epstein files – where the cia, fbi, state dept, etc. admit in writing that they make shit up.

you have to wait at least 25 years after the event, but you can already read some files – just like people are reading the epstein files rn – of shit they made up about north korea being “authoritarian.” (you can even see how they chose that word). but the key part is that they admit to lying to us about north korea’s authoritarianism.

so if your source calls north korea authoritarian, know the us government invented that in the 1950s, was forced by law to admit the lie to the public in the 1970s and that any source still pushing this narrative can’t be trusted.

you’re never going to be a leftist if you don’t question your own sources.

What contexts could possibly make these quotes okay?

that’s a pity; i would seriously reconsider him if he did that. lol

i feel like tom and jerry is disappearing like looney tunes has done; i’m glad to learn that it’s getting preserved as a meme. lol

has he said that?!

because if he said that, i might want to reconsider. lol

who in the global south would be rooting for a politican from the state of maine?

it makes you wonder if the doom scrolling will be enough to sustain it.

i dunno anymore; i think piefed is eating their lunch

sources are too far apart

i’ve been looking for a western source that the american freedom of information act doesn’t immediately prove is propaganda; do you have any to share?

here’s a tldr and a clickable link if you’ve never heard of the freedom of information act:

The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is a federal law in the United States that grants individuals the right to request access to records held by federal government agencies. This law was enacted to promote transparency and accountability within the government.

I thought that the saying was:

The beatings will continue until moralel improves.

Not worsens. Lol

It’s still a benefit either way; worse case scenario is that the DNC has to burn resources to cancel your vote out in the next election. Lol

agreed, but on the flip side, it identify targets for the dnc to suppress and this is A LOT more likely to happen since leftists parties cannot officially operate in most liberal jurisdictions as a party (because of the dnc).
