This is gold. Comrades are on their meme game this week. This one was also fire:
Needs to remove the Jill2016 pin though, these kind of people all think she's a kgb agent now
The good news is that Russia is only evil and fascist and so it's always bad to be associated with them. Trust me, I'm one of the good Americans
Brilliant. We all know that one person, or friend, who refuses to go ALL the way in regards to an idea. On other occasions it's me who is the naysayer 😀
lmao
🤣
i need to start saving these for some libs in the wild.
"yeah let me pretend to be nuanced here" fuck off lol
lol we need to start a meme library on prolewiki
i will risk saying this would be unironically very good.
a library of dank agitprop? own every lib talking point online with image macros? yeah count me in.
Now that's praxis
from the creators of whubububism, comes 2 things at once, with extra colonialist mindset!
This is dialectical thinking at its finest.
We’ve always been at war with Eurasia.
Who knew the world was full of quantum computers that can simulate an actual Schrödinger's cat situation While also thinking in a very binary way with a red vs blue type situation like a double Schrödinger's cat-ception
The media is evil and all our elected officials are evil
But also ... just because something is used by the US as propaganda doesn't necessarily mean it's untrue.
Look into literally every war they supported, it's always false pretenses. They instigated Kuwait to get in trouble with Iraq, then told Iraq they wouldn't oppose them invading Kuwait, then after Iraq invaded the US media apparatus lied everywhere that Iraqis disconnected hundreds of babies from incubators, killing them.
Still with Iraq, they told the world that Saddam Hussein had WMDs, that they had to be stopped for the safety of all USAmericans. Even though the weapons inspectors said it was patently false. The US invaded, many European countries supported them. After a very painful invasion where it's estimated between hundreds of thousands to a million Iraqis were murdered by the US and their allies (and many, many more when you count those who died from other factors caused by the invasion, such as lack of infrastructure, hospitals, food, etc), after all of this did they find WMDs? Take a guess.
The US told us that Gaddafi was using mass rape against his enemies, and people believed it until after they bombed Libyans to rubble. Turns out, they lied.
Amnesty International curiously enough lied as well, they echoed the claims about Kuwait babies killed by the Iraqi army and the mass rape by Gaddafi's troops until after the US punished those countries and their peoples severely. Then they went back on their word, because as it turns out they were lying. So if even organizations that occasionally do decent work can't be trusted not to amplify imperialism, how can we trust those that are even worse?
Can you trust the same newspapers that have told us for years that no genocide is happening in Gaza? That we should condemn Hamas? That Israel has the most moral army? We saw with our own eyes what they did and still do to children in Gaza. And to this day BBC, NYT and others still frame Israel as victims of aggression, and the real victims as untrustworthy terrorists. We can't trust a word about anything involving politics because even now they lie through framing, through omission.
True true, and their 'justifications' for war are entirely bogus.
But I just caution against over-correcting. Just because someone is an enemy of the US doesn't mean they're perfect. Or even good.
Yes it does. Relative to the US they are good.
The primary contradiction in the world right now is US imperialism.
If you are talking about an enemy of the US in the context of anything the US is doing, they are the good guys.
Nah. Being attacked by evil doesn't make you good.
You've got to stop with this black-and-white thinking.
Sure, but I'll defend any government protecting its people from being bombed by imperialists, after the war is over we can critique again.
It means it's either heavily exaggerated or untrue.
Sure, reasonable: as long as we also apply that standard the next time someone says "Russian propaganda". If we apply this standard universally, then we're in a much better position to understand the world.
But it's a pretty good indicator
