I didn't say it was the most effective, I said give other means if you don't think it is.

Over 11 million people, huggy wuggy nooo!

Not an attack on you it just bothers me to see this constantly misrepresented everywhere, 6 million is if you only count Jewish people, 11 million counts all victims of the camps including my great aunt and uncle.

So is not fighting back in the most effective means possible. They already intend to kill you, they're just waiting for their oppurtunity.

Propose alternative means of dissuasion if you want to be dismissive of given ones, the given ones seem effective enough...

Nowhere did I misunderstand your post, you stated it back to me?

I'm saying that the difference you are describing doesn't exist, thus the nuance you ascribe 'mental children' to lack to perceive is imaginary.

I understand words convey a meaning beyond definitionally, but definitionally there is no mention of such a requirement. Thus I asked you for any sources backing up such a claim.

I have not deviated from what I said previously. Nor misinterpreted you intentionally whatsoever. Rather, I disagree with you.

Also I am not an llm, and I intend to discuss with you calmly and fairly and not misinterpret what you are saying. If you are willing to engage

Nuance that is not definitionally a part of what constitutes 'propaganda' whether you infantilize someone else for seeing things differently or not.

Go on, provide some examples and sources if you want to make such a grand claim.

Something being propaganda does not necessitate that it contains subliminal messaging, propaganda can be entirely overt and without unconscious conditioning techniques.

A convincing argument is propaganda, you just wrongly believe yourself to be above propaganda, the same way you seem to consider yourself above others generally...

Summit for Lemmy

I was using Sync since the ::: spoiler spoiler reddit ::: exodus and basically moved with it, but it's not been updated for a while so I tried out a few others but was always turned off by their different gestures so I never switched.

However when I tried out Summit it had the right theming and gestures to be comfortable coming from Sync, along with an excellent unique screenshot tool that I've come to rely on.

I will try out phtn.app as an alternative on desktop since I don't browse Lemmy much outside of the apps.

I love that yours is entirely real but it feels just as fake as the entirely fake one you are replying too 🤣

As someone that abused Ketamine for years, it is so easy to be so caught up with delusions (especially those of grandeur, or that are fed into by your environment) especially if abusing in tandem with other drugs that reinforce such delusions like Cocaine.

But those delusions still don't just manifest out of nothing, the stew that is Elon's brain has been continually cooking under these circumstances, but mine was under similar and I am no Nazi.

I think it is likely the money, subsequent power and unwillingness to take on board criticism that leads him to be surrounded by sycophants that reinforce his growing mental illness.

Having our false perceptions of reality be reinforced will cause loss of touch with reality over long enough time frames, especially when our actions are devoid of material consequences, and certain stimuli just expedite the process.

Though that isn't to say there isn't a huge correlation between brain damage and conservative belief, and that excessive use of drugs such as Alcohol, Cocaine and Cocoethanol, Nitrous Oxide, Alcohol, PCP, Meth and Ketamine causes significant brain damage.

Guess just yapping but I see ketamine abuse in this case as something that would have made him hugely more susceptible for sure despite maybe not being the sole cause, as over a similar abuse time frame I also struggled with distortions of reality and occasionally mania - especially if stressed and combining with cocaine.

Given that he thinks HIV/AIDs is the result of Amyl Nitrate abuse already, he just has to say it official.

I just looked through all of that and there's nothing as you describe from her campaign itself. Even outside of her campaign there is only lip service and commemoration for the victims of the pulse terror attack.

Unless you count saying trans people should receive medically necessary treatment as supportive? It's a literal non-statement, words that mean very little, her support here is aesthetic at best.

Because no Gen Z sees 50$k towards a house and is impressed. That offer alone shows such a ridiculous disconnect between the dems and the populace. Yes that would be beneficial for a very select minority of Gen Z, but for the vast majority.

Not close to helpful, radical or on level to Trump's promises (lies).

They want sweeping change, they expect politicians to lie and embellish. If the politician offers something so minor when they are expected to embellish then the avg voter probably expects even less or nothing at all.

At least significant promises can get people excited. Even if they are obvious lies to those paying attention. Sad reality is vast majority of people of any generation pay almost no attention whatsoever.

I think people seeing her message might have helped. But the difference maker would have been a message people actually want to get behind. That would have spread organically.

Now whether the DNC was cooked either way following the publics perception of Bidens term is another thing. But a strong message will always prevail - even if it is a lie.

Nonsense, Kamala had 0 left leaning policy and also never mentioned trans people in her entire campaign. She tacked to the centre further than Biden on every single issue, not disputing your other anecdotes but you are seriously misled if you think the Democrats are anything except centre-right.

Republicans who want to round up minorities, prevent women from having the ability to abort fetuses that result from rape, and prevent any and all lgbtq people from existing in public.

Calling them the lesser of two evils shows you have no fucking clue.

That or you are lying like most right wingers and centrists.

'Oh I have to be a nazi now because you called me one 😭'

Actually fight against that rather than pretending too, Israel and Russia have destroyed the US from within far more than China... Maybe tackle the active objective threats rather than potential ones

Still exist in UK as of last year, short wooden pencils stacked in a plastic cube, free for as many as you can take before security gets angy

Thank you for the suggestions. Hasan has made huge progress for the left, he's not perfect but he's so far from a Zionist, he's been the main target of the ADL for many months now, targeting him and his consistent anti-zionist attitude has been so important to the Zionist because they recognise how powerful having such a large voice speaking against them is. There's a reason they've tried so heavily to deplatform him.

You may not like him and he may not be perfect, but in terms of real influence he is clearly a powerful ally.

Funnily enough I was exposed to Second Thought and Hakim through Hasan, I think he has been a return guest on there. I will check out MidwesternMarx. I've had people try to discredit Hasan by saying he is associated with Second Thought, so you can understand why I'm not likely to immediately succumb to divide and conquer tactics.

He does a good job, every person and spokesperson has their individualities, overall he is hugely net positive to the left - I think if you are saying 'speak up also' then you are valid, but if you are saying 'cut down your allies' for minor differences then you are naive or an op.

Oh great arbiter of the left, do let us know the alternate path.

They already believe themselves to be justified and have had their consent manufactured over a long time. As evidenced by the fact that they feel righteous in the Jan 6 attempt, and are responsible for most terrorism.

1. If someone shoots a gun at you, do you shoot back?
2. They latch on to manufactured garbage anyway, there is no amount of ammunition we can avoid giving them.
3. They sent out thousands of texts to young black Americans in more than 10 states telling them they are 'due to the plantations at X date 9 AM sharp', they are already doxxing and worse.

Please provide any evidence you have got anything that lends towards this decency, which context needs to be inserted please let me know.
