Feels like culture meth. Too easy to hear the greatest musicians, see the best movies, play the best games. Our ability to enjoy “real” things is diminished and the only way to consistently get our fix is via culture industries.

Is this what they mean by Reaganism?
Nazis were always like “normal people” in my mind. You might say any single one was nice, loved their family and pets and neighbors, made funny jokes and beautiful art, they’d give you the shirt off their back, invite you to a BBQ, stubbed their toes in pain like us, etc. They just had these certain traits where when stressed, they felt relieved by populist, xenophobic, masculine/warlike rhetoric, which snowballed.
With that I’m probably more lenient towards people being called Nazis because I’m not looking for a literal 1:1 match anyways.
I agree that we’re simplifying that era, feels like we’re taking a snapshot of a continuous process. Nazis (or other groups from other eras) are like the extremes or model specimen of how we perceive the period. Nazis were green as fuck in a green era, America was emerald, UK was lime, Japan was chartreuse, it just blends out to a spectrum.
I wonder why executioners don’t get doxxed.
Europe, lmao
I think this is what happens when court sketch artists go home and blow off steam in MS Paint.
When you say “When you say Nazis, you mean actual nazi nazi, or anyone who doesn’t politically agree with Lemmy.worlds world view? Genuine question, like for Palestine for example” do you mean to imply you care about the meaning of words or are you perhaps a little too sympathetic with Nazis?
Just kidding.
It’s probably their masters telling them to look strong. The same masters who were shocked, and who are out of touch. They aren’t showing us what we don’t already know because they live like emperors.

Sounds like hysteria though, with the way it’s written.
The articles do not include the statement from our military saying that everything is normal. (But they do have the “here’s a bunch of scary stuff, we reached out but didn’t get a comment, story is breaking will update”)
They include quotes that if you look carefully seem to fit both stories; there’s a crazy drone thing happening, and nothing out of the ordinary is happening.
A warning about drones. A base closing for 4 hours. Things you expect to happen in day to day life, but also do a great job of freaking people out when you string the data points together just so.
I had to dig to find how many drone incidents with military bases we’ve had per year. Because that isn’t common info. Really, really important information. The first thing you would report, probably.
But it’s not in any of these articles lol
But you take them off when you kiss a mirror on the lips
I found two things about drones and military bases
Drone spotting went viral and it led to reports of drones around military bases, freaking people out. However the military stated this is normal activity and that this stuff has been happening for years.
Reports of drones over 17 bases near Chinese business owned farmland. A scary sounding story about communist China spying on our bases. But drones over / near bases isn’t rare and the army alone has like 100 bases in the country.
And the military can shoot down and disable drones in their airspace. Apparently their main problem is things falling outside their jurisdiction and then local police being shit.
If you post censored shit I’m going to PM you shittingdicknipples and lemonparty.

I don’t get why he’s being called a terrorist… are we wanting to invade his country? Are we at war? Is oil at stake?!?
That isn’t a man, it’s a conservative. Less than a bug.
I think it’s because turpentine is associated with DIY abortion and maybe slavery. Men “fixing” women and the women having to “unfix” themselves. Using different solutions to induce abortion.
The tin snips and vasectomies is a decent clue.
Yeah that is funny. It’s like Dee doing her standup except Seinfeld is more subdued and not gagging.
I didn’t realize people didn’t like Seinfeld. It’s a great show.
I don’t think it’s as bad as people think. We have all believed, believe, and will believe misinformation. It’s a part of being human.
You are prompted to check at some point; someone tells you you’re wrong, you are curious, things feel incongruous, whatever. You find out you’re wrong and you update your shit. Easy, life goes on.
But certain people seem to actively shop for rhetoric that will look good on their shelves. You tell them they’re wrong and they dig in. They usually have no filter and say their ideas out loud even if it denigrates others.
It’s like propaganda is a chemical being injected that binds with cancer cells so you can more easily see them with the naked eye. The chemical touches everything but it “reacts” with the cancer.
He forgot to mention, the compiler outputs Armenian machine code that can only run on chips built on Armenian binary.
