Why do I need to reread the book? What do you think I don’t understand?

I’m quite aware that Al Jazeera’s name is on the video. It’s right there, out in the open. All the video does is summarize Herman & Chomsky’s propaganda model. Do you think Al Jazeera’s involvement will give you cooties somehow?

And the US State Department is literally the US State Department. The same US that just aided and abetted a Palestinian genocide for 15 months.

And Noam Chomsky is Noam Chomsky, regardless of who funded the production of that video.

Did you unironically send us to a US .gov propaganda website to get information about a US enemy state’s disinformation?

The Western capitalist states just did a twenty year long “war on terror” based on lies, causing the deaths of millions, and are complicit in supporting a 15 month long genocide of Palestinians, and you’re super-concerned about China’s human rights abuses as reported by those same Western states, which are virulently anti-communist and known to push BS anti-communist narratives for the last century?

Neither Washington nor Beijing, but actually Washington.

The very first sentence of the Wiki entry invalidates your argument that EU countries are socialist. They’re not even working toward socialism, because they’re not working toward abolishing private ownership of the means of production. In fact they’ve all been moving in the opposite direction ever since Margaret Thatcher. They’ve been privatizing things that had been public.

On the unlikely chance that the question isn’t rhetodical, I’d suggest Michael Parenti’s Blackshirts and Reds.

In any case, Tankies hate socialism, they see it as nothing but trying to “make capitalism work with regulation” and they strive for abolishment of capitalism entirely.

I think you are confusing “socialism” with “capitalism with social safety nets.”

Socialism is the abolition of private ownership of the means of production, and private ownership of the means of production is what capitalism is. All versions of socialism are anti-capitalist, including communism.

You don’t even have a Wikipedia-level understanding of capitalism, socialism, or communism. Have you even read the first few paragraphs of the Wiki entries for the concepts you pretend to be knowledgeable of?

And that is why this shit gets removed from lemmy.ml.

Not because it’s a secret, but because they’re sick and tired of debunking tiny man flat earthers.

And where did you learn that in China you’ll be visited by the cops?

You learned if from the very same Western cold war propaganda machine we’re talking about. And you accepted it as fact without a thought.

Your satire is going to go over most of these people’s heads.

They also think it is the Chinese who are “brainwashed” NPCs, whilst they swim in propaganda and question nothing.

People not only don’t know what’s happening to them, they don’t even know that they don’t know. — Noam Chomsky

That’s the thing, though: The Tiananmen riots are not a secret in China, and they are taught, while you have been mistaught by Western propaganda that they’re a secret in China. So this meme is ignorant nonsense that perpetuates the propaganda for free.

Why watch the video when one photo and a lifetime of anticommunist propaganda tells me everything I need to know? 😐

Where are you getting this idea? Only about 10% have dual-citizenship. Who’s going to absorb the other 90%? And most probably aren’t wealthy enough to simply pick up their lives and leave.

If it’s a pejorative term, then you’re not building the justification for its usage that you think you are.

Your views seem to coincide with Russian propaganda.

You know who else was a vegetarian? Hitler.

Views stand of their own merits irrespective of such coincidences.

Please enlighten us, vagueposter, what does it explain?

Yes. I think your perspective is through Hollywood-tinted glasses. When was the last time something like that happened in real life and actually had devastating effects on the ruling class?

No way they’d risk him getting up on the stand

Defendants don’t get up on the stand if they want any chance of a not guilt verdict.

and even less likely they’d want to try their luck getting twelve people to convict.

It’s not so unlikely. It ought to be, but it isn’t.

July: Congress Sets Record 58 Standing Ovations For Benjamin Netanyahu’s Speech

This is the most hyperbolic take yet 😂 I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious fediverse memes.

Edit to add: oic, your alts keep getting banned
