I think those people might not, but I was once a “conspiracy nut,” had a circle of friends who were as well, and know that for a lot of those kinds of people YouTube is the majority of the “research” they do. For those people I think this could work as long as it’s not hallucinating and can point to proper sources.
“Great! Billy doesn’t believe 9/11 was an inside job, but now the AI made him believe Bush was actually president in 1942 and that Obama was never president.”
In all seriousness I think an “unbiased” AI might be one of the few ways to reach people about this stuff because any Joe schmoe is just viewed as “believing what they want you to believe!” when they try to confront any conspiracy.
Now you can’t blame a kid for joining Hamas when he grows up in all of this and see all his siblings die or his relatives.
When you bomb the shit out of any area you claim to have terrorists in all you do is create more terrorists. It’s like the oldest concept in history that we absolutely refuse to learn because it’s beneficial not to when you need a terrorist to point at to justify your bullshit…
I generally feel pretty dead inside most days, but I did find some value in this video today. The Internet is usually pretty good for finding humorous stuff. Hopefully you at least get a chuckle from it!
We’re all powerless alone
That’s the “funny” thing about it. ALONE we are powerless. The really really hard part is getting all of us together.
Media in the past that wasn’t purely propaganda for the sake of manipulating the population would have achieved this simply by the reporting done. Now all they do is give cover to the assholes committing the atrocities across the world and we have to fight with each other just to convince people what is actually happening and why it’s bad…
Divide and conquer works and it’s why we never seem to make progress. :(
So just going to chime in here with a little advice that really should be obvious, but don’t tell someone who is suicidal to just get over themselves.
A person wants to end their existence and your only reply is to completely dismiss their pain as absurd. As someone who is suicidal pretty much every day, the whole point is not wanting to exist in this pain and not seeing any way out of it. There’s nothing to “get over” as people like us think of ourselves as the lowest form of garbage imaginable. A joke I often make is “Hitler had more redeeming qualities than I do.”
The only thing accomplished wtih your statement is making you feel better about yourself, it doesn’t help the other person at all so the whole “got nothing nice to say, don’t say anything” applies here.
I feel similar but I wouldn’t say I particularly hate my parents.
I was an accident and honestly if anything I’m very frustrated that the only reason I was born was that my grandmother is super religious and refused to even entertain the idea of an abortion, hell she’s even responsible for my name (again from the fucking goddamn Bible. For me that’s ironic since I loath most organized religion.) but my parents in no way should have gotten together. I think my mom was just attractive and my dad is a pig for sex (I recognize some of that in myself so I guess I got that from him… Thanks…)
As others have mentioned it’s not so much that the entirety of all 38 years of my life sucked, but for me I have a distinct memory at 11 years old of having this feeling that something wanted me to kill myself because it just kept “poking” at me, making life miserable in various ways. I gave the sky the finger and said “fuck you I’m not doing that” simply out of spite of whatever it was. (I don’t believe anything like that now). So I have to imagine childhood wasn’t as bad although I did have to live through 2 stepfathers that both wished I didn’t exist probably as much as I do.
Anxiety runs rampant through my father’s side of the family and I’ve definitely been depressed for the entirety of my teenage and adult life. The world wouldn’t be affected by my passing, but I sure as hell would love to hit the “off button” as well. All that said, if women even found me worthy, I would never want to pass these absolute garbage genes on to anyone. That should be a crime thats how shitty they are (except my immune system, that seems pretty ok lol)
Very very well put!
I think if you made a word bubble of all the comments I’ve made the largest bubble by far would be “I fucking hate propagandists!!”
I firmly believe he’s going to lose the popular vote, the electoral college, and yet still “win” by having the assholes that filled important election official positions refuse to certify the results and have the election kicked to Congress where the Republicans have a majority of states in their control and so one state one vote means Trump wins…
Every single mother fucker better riot like there’s no tomorrow if they do this
It’s propaganda.
Everything you listed is a “Democrat lie” if you were to ask a Magoo. Fox news, Newsmax, and the like spend an enormous amount of effort in creating a reality where Republicans are always the victim, and they point to the population to say “you’re next!”
Anything they can’t say is specifically a lie, they’ll say “well you did it too so it’s not bad.” Anything else just isn’t a concern to them since people like Hannity tell them what to think.
I’m not actually sure I agree. Trump has so much support right now because he has formed a cult of personality. If Trump goes the GOP goes. Trump dominated every primary, no one else stood a chance, which means there isn’t another GOP memeber that the cult would move to so easily. Trump has a “strength” in being an “outsider” to his base, anyone else who was in the primaries would just be another “elitist” politician to the magas.
Unfortunately our politics have gotten so fucked by a disgusting form of propaganda that disregards the typical “immoral” stances (racism, sexism, etc) that I actually believe the only people that could continue to keep the GOP going are the absolutely disgusting people like MTG and Bobert… The loudmouth assholes with no regard or respect for anyone but their “tribe.”
No, sadly they actually aren’t happy. There’s still money out there that isn’t in their bank account. It drives them insane knowing “their” money is still in someone else’s bank account.
cheap place to live and go to the beach for a year.
Cheap place… Lol
Close to the beach!? LMFAO
This ghoul isn’t even from our reality and they’re trying to tell us to chill out. Stick to your own dimension where housing is affordable, especially with any proximity to a beach…
Are there even going to BE any consoles out in 2026 that can run the game?
That’s the beauty of the greedy fucking console developers, they just reduce the quality of any game so it will absolutely work on the Xbox toaster edition. Games could be so much better, not just graphically, but they have to be limited by the weakest console that the companies force the devs to make it available on.
Probably Microsuck or Sony. They lovvvvvveeeee this shit. What better way to sell garbage consoles no one wants than to force people to buy it or wait another year/year and a half for a game they waited like a decade for…
That’s what happend at my highschool. There was a year we couldn’t even afford paper but we were a school of over 2000 kids. Not a wealthy area by any means, but with all those taxes from all those families you’d think basic supplies wouldn’t be an issue.
It wouldn’t have been an issue if one of the administrators wasn’t fucking stealing money from us… I don’t even mean they had too high of a salary, I mean they were literally stealing money…
But you don’t understand, we have happy billionaires! That’s all that really matters in life. Children can fuck off, billionaires is where it’s at.
That’s a phrase I live my life by to be honest lol
Honestly my only issue with them is literally anyone who is not them is “an evil pro-genocide lib” (lib, liberal is like the biggest insult they can throw at you as it’s essentially the definition of their opposition.) Doesn’t exactly feel great to see an entire community see you as the absolute evil and everything that is wrong with the world just because you may not agree that an economy run by committee is the best way, or that an authoritarian “vanguard” is the right way to a better society.
If they’re all about workers solidarity and community then they should try to see us if anything as simply “ignorant” not stupid, not willingly aiding genocide, just lacking information that they could help share. Instead a lot of them are just vicious. There are some like Cowbee that seem like good people who want to help others understand their views.
There were plenty of us that saw right through the bullshit even before the war started but unfortunately because the SCOTUS decided the election for us we were stuck with a gang of money hungry pieces of shit… I mean we still are, but we were then too…
I was young and naive so I wanted to join the military in hopes of getting some technical skills, but even as a 17 year old idiot I saw right through bushs bullshit and said fuuuuccckkkkk that. Now I work in a factory… Fuck Bush, fuck Cheney, fuck Rumsfield… War criminals the lot of them.
To get to OPs question, in America I think we have a collective shame about it so it’s pretty much never spoken about at all. The state of Iraq is only ever mentioned within the context of ISIS :(
