These people are so out of touch it’s actually hilarious, for some reason they think that people still live in the cold war era, like throwing around some ancient language and random symbols should make the people afraid or something…fucken pathetic
like throwing around some ancient language and random symbols should make the people afraid or something
In my experience, it still does for conservatives and many born before the mid seventies. None of them can tell you why or even what any of the terms or symbols mean, but they’ve been told all their lives those things are bad and have never stopped to wonder why.
Luckily the brain washing era is almost over, it’s time for new blood and fresh ideas, nothing rooted in irrational fear of anything or anyone we don’t understand, if people are willing, and it seems that most are, things can hopefully change the better, we had enough of the same ancient people deciding which world my 12 year old should grow up in
While I agree with you that’s way more aggressive, and flat out crazy, but Mamdani win is living proof that there’s still a glimpse of hope, just looks at the millions they spent to make sure that he never comes to power, and still failed, the change has to start somewhere, right?
Some do. Most are still busy swallowing their own government propaganda. And it’s hard to spot when we’re bombarded from birth and (excuse the well-worn cliché) the memory hole has become an ever-expanding black hole.

Oh you sweet, summer child. Corporate social media is a much more effective propaganda tool than any Cold War era stuff could ever hope to be.

I with that were true but it’s worse than ever. Corporate and government propaganda pervades every aspect of people’s lives in the United States.
Their target audience is boomers. Now if only they still had the Russophobia that they did back then…
Agreed, thank god the majority of the voters are not in this age group, imagine the horror
Some Lemmy users got it covered.
Yeah but we need that good old-fashioned vigilance against Russian propaganda … now the same folks swallow it hook, line, and sinker.

My memory hole is sore from overuse (I don’t know this cliché), so pardon my crude innuendo.
