Yeah I agree about an average American being pretty naive to things. It’s not even just naive, it’s actively mis/dis-informed too

this is a war on information
I think most people understand that by this point. It’s been a war on information since the internet was created, even 80 years ago people like Goebbels understood the value of constricting information flow.
I got banned multiple times from calling something on a conservative subreddit hate speech, because it was very blatantly hate speech. Go figure…
I’m just counting the days and hoping I’ll open the news one day to see a front page story that makes me super happy
No he didn’t, don’t spread misinformation. He’s a piece of shit just using his kid as a meat shield, but in the actual clip he just walked a few steps and the kid ran a different way but as soon as he noticed he went to go get him.
He’s said he’s scared for his life. I think that’s reasonable given the amount of people he’s pissing off. It’s only a matter of time…
ahhh that’s what happened to me then. I just randomly got banned one day and I think it was reporting a conservative post for hate or something
Try explaining that term to someone in 1925. I’m proud of how far we’ve come.
Welcome. I joined from reddit in 2025, and happy to see more come over since Reddit has become a corporate, bot-filled, propaganda arm for many different groups
I think it’s important to have a non-reddit preppers forum, and lemmy seems like a good option. It may just take time to grow, but what harm does it do to just keep this around?
There’s been a mass exodus from Reddit for the past like year, and it’s only increasing. I just found this from a search because I wanted a non-reddit preppers community.
This is beautiful. Also terrifying that this is the world we live in with AI, and it’s only getting better. We already live in a post-truth world, but refined AI will lead to absolute chaos. Everything will be shoved off as AI whether it’s real or not.
Thanks, Obam-na
Again, I want to believe, but recent history doesn’t provide that angle. During COVID there were people saying it was a government hoax as they were dying in the hospital. If they can be brainwashed to not believe their own fucking death, then nothing will change them.
I’m not talking about some of the moderates who don’t really mind Trump but don’t stay informed, by the way. I think some small percentage of these folks will be able to see the reality, just not in time.
That’s completely wishful and fantastical thinking. By midterms the base will be so propagandized again to just forget about the regime robbing them blind left and right. I want to believe it, but recent history has taught me otherwise.
These Russian assets are truly executing Putin’s playbook perfectly huh
Has “having no expertise or relevant track record” on something ever stopped the GOP from trying to push through ideas? Seems pretty on-brand to me
Sounds like you’re not American right? There is already pushback at GOP town halls and many conservatives who disapprove of what is going on overall. Unfortunately they’re not capable of empathy until it affects them, but they’re starting to get personally affected. Also it’s only going to get worse and negatively affect even more people, so at that point their own personal circumstances will outweigh whatever Fox News tells them to think about everything.
I would not advertise that too much if I were you
