Reading those comments was an exercise in inadvertent self-flagellation and it intellectually hurts
There’s no amount of psychoanalysis that can cure a trauma caused by the material reality of a patient. You can give them coping skills, you can make them understand certain aspects of their psyche, but cannot advance any further without improving the material existence.
Exactly. This should be a repeated opening statement for anyone getting into therapy whether as a giver or receiver. Too often it’s treated as some mystical “science” whereby all of the patient’s ills can be therapized away with just enough inner effort (and money!). I’ve had many traumas to deal with and at the end of it all the singular thing that helped me the most was solving my basic material needs. Thankfully I came to the same realization as your statement on my own (after much introspection) before getting pathologized and needlessly medicated. I reailze there are people who may need the medication and all, but I’d wager that they are not the majority of people who end up there.
And 80%+ of the Collective West’s citizens will buy it, just like they bought Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Somalia, Ethiopia, and Ukraine since 2014. It hurts my sensibilities. Some of the most intelligent people I know buy this shit, every fucking time. Clearly deep knowledge in one area doesn’t matter much when it comes to spotting admittedly obvious patterns of propaganda. Sigh…
Can we start calling him Pagliacci?
That’s what I remember as someone who came here right after the Genzedong quarantine started. Up until that point Genzedong was THE best aggregated news/commentary community I could find which wasn’t parroting obvious western propaganda on the re-escalation of the conflict/SMO and other subjects too
Excellent analogy!
I think Elmo is supposed to be choosing “healthy sugars” like those in fruit but he can’t resist the pile of sugar instead. Like most sugar junkies :p
deeply unserious
Sounds like someone has been watching Revolutionary Blackout Network ;)
Or alternatively Nick’s phrase of choice is spreading!
Considering /r/workreform was already a capitulation/liberalization of the original ideology of /r/antiwork (before its own liberalization) I am 100% not surprised
At first I thought this meme would be that same annoying shiz, glad to see I was wrong ;-)
I went from New Pipe -> Vanced -> ReVenced -> ReVanced Extended and I’m happiest with the latter. I know it’s not FOSS but sometimes I have to make a compromise for UX
I came here after GenZedong was quarantined for not blindly following western war propaganda.
Hoping other new users will learn to re-open their minds after being boxed into Reddit/western liberalism for so long. (Won’t hold my breath but I do hope)
I also use multiple moniters with LM Cinnamon and they work just fine, but I am sorry to hear it doesn’t work on your machine! KDE doesn’t do it for me aesthetically nor resource-wise, especially on low/mid power laptops while Cinnamon does (although normally I would go for XFCE on low spec hardware). Thankfully we both have the option to choose :)
+1 for Linux Mint Cinnamon. It just works
Here’s a link straight from the horses mouth talking about partnerships with Hollywood, but keep in mind this article is itself propaganda to make it seem that the state does not exert narrative control but only “accuracy” and “protecting sensitive information”.

In the case of U.S. media much of it (especially the more pro-imperial projects) works directly with the state to align narratives, although it’s not necessarily paid by the state.
One anarchist says to another: “Hey remember that one time when we burned down the system and prevented the creation of an organized humanist hierarchical structure to help manage the transition to a stateless, classless, utopian society?”
The other anarchist says: “Yeah it was great! All of humanity suddenly let go of generations of their individualist conditioning and no one with bad intentions violently seized power to establish post-apocalyptic feudalism.”
Then both anarchists woke up from their wet dreams and had to change their bedding.
Just piggybacking to reiterate the sad truth of this comment, the Dutch have lost their effing minds and IMO are even more self-righteous about “Muh-kraine” than the USAmericans. Both in regards to the politicians and also majority of the people I’ve talked with about it. It’s fucked.
Seems to me the endless onslaught of propaganda during Covid broke so many people’s brains to the extent that they are seeking out more propaganda because they literally don’t want to think for themselves at all. Hell I’d be surprised if many people on Lemmygrad continued to “follow the science” on Covid since Ukraine started as results from that worldwide experiement are finally starting to come out (instead of just the number models). shrug
