Even if they don’t outright cripple functionality, they’ll hound you endlessly to install the app.

Still don’t understand the logic of doing that.

It’s like saying,

“Our website is nigh unusable, please install our app instead. We pinky promise our app works”.

That is the objective for these types of people. A world where the EU and USA are isolated and China, Russia, Iran, etc. have free reign in ‘their’ backyards.

They already are blaming Democrats and immigrants for everything that is currently happening :(

You are applying the model to dismiss a statement by US State department about an internationally recognized propaganda war being waged by the Russian Federation.

regardless of who funded the production of that video.

I think you need to reread his book, because looking at who funded the message is part of what Chomsky is talking about.

Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media

>The first level displays the public domain in which prominent ideologies within the masses can influence the intentions of mass media. The second level pertaining to the business firms accounts for the media’s source of information[14] as business firms are wealthy enough to supply information to media organizations while maintaining control over where advertisers can sell their advertisements and stories. The final layer, the governments of the major global powers, are the wealthiest subgroup of the pillars of society.

Al Jazeera is funded in whole or in part by the Qatari government. Wikipedia

Al Jazeera is heavily influenced by the Qatari government. The same government that has the death sentence for apostasy and homosexuality.

Edit: Also Al Jazeera spun the mass-murder Yahya ‘bring back suicide bombers’ Sinwar as some honorable martyr.

The Russian Federation is a threat to Europe and the USA.

War is Peace

I love that over on Reddit most of the content is still coming from Xitter. The only change is that they aren’t posting direct links crediting the person who made it.

What a half-ass way to boycott a site.

Right side is also: Die in a climate wars penal unit.

It is always possible they got the wrong guy.

Disclaimer: I know nothing about Korean politics, except some recent headlines.

Same, still I appreciate the attempt to rationalize the situation.

How much leverage does this guy have to survive impeachment after declaring martial-fucking-law for no reason?

Actually, ya. That is on point.

Don’t want to be too much of a downer, but if enough rich folk decide the system does not work for them. These rich folks will fight to change the system to function more like China and Russia. Where the peons have limited political expression and swift removal of ‘subversive’ speech.

progressive neoliberalism does a terrible job speaking to cis-het male anxieties

Terrible is a bit of an understatement. Men complain about bleak social and economic prospects only to be meet with insults that go right to the metaphorical jugular of every mans ego.

I’m myself tired of how tankies deals with criticism.

It’s because tankies are just contrarians that use communist ideology as a vehicle to be anti-west / anti-United States (anti-liberal democracy). Tankies will defend any cause or ideology that is against ‘the west’ even if that means happily ignoring the blatant homophobic, genocidal and repressive authoritarianism.

Because they have not experienced the cruelty of what they are supporting. . . yet. The moment they do, they’ll cry and whine that it’s affecting them.

See Florida stopping permanent alimony and the blow back from Republicans that are shocked it’s affecting them.
