If you could erase one thing...

Hatred/Fear/Outrage based misinfo and propaganda. Jeeze, all the anti lib shit. Trust me when I say, a lot of these are old anarchistic conspiracy theories, stolen and twisting them into anti liberal ones, and pretending they came up with them. Then kids these days see them and think they're so smart, come spouting to me about the deep state, and all, and I'm sitting here like "Oh, that's actually a reskinned anti fascist theory, except its being used to divide us further, rather than exposing how they divided us to begin with." Seriously people, listen to podcasts like "Out There Radio." (Cept there theories were a hell of a lot more grounded to earth.) Specifically their content during the George Bush Jr. presidency. We've been talking about all the shit they've been exploiting since before snowden. Who first said the government was surveilling us? The punks inherited that theory from them leftist hippies and black panthers. If you're blaming a single party for your fucking problems, then you have fallen into the trap. The divide is artificial, and hell, I was there when neo nazis infiltrated the scene during my punk rock years, twisting the rhetoric into something that kinda sounds similar to the shit I'm hearing today, so if you lack that sort of context, get the fuck out of the scene and reeducate yourself. Because the more I hear this shit about how the libs are the reason you can't even, the more I want to repeatedly bang my head against the wall and point out that the establishment democratic party and the establishment republican party are both beholden to the same doners. Think fox news is trustworthy? Nope, like all the major news stations, they are also beholden to the same doners. Remember everyone, when two parties are fighting each other, the third party, and its motives remain hidden. But hey, every time I try to tell someone that, I just get this deer in headlights look. Then I hear some anecdotal story about reptilians or whatever, and I'm just like; Dude, I've been down that rabbit hole, and here's what I learned. Just follow what you can prove. That scene was hijacked a long time ago by both the CIA and the Soviets (And now big businesses as well), so you can't count on any of it being accurate. You see that Hillary Clinton person? You see that Ted Cruze dude? Look at the special interest groups that lobby behind them. They're the same people. Look at their voting records. They virtually vote for the same shit. You think Nancy Palosi actually supports is actually conspiring to turn our country into a Communist regime? Bitch please. She has back room dealings with the drug companies too, and is intent to keep us beholden to them. She's not serious when she entertains the idea of medicare for all, just because its popular among grass root voters. That's where your conspiracy is hidden. You don't bring up aliens into the mix until after you've objectively encountered one in real life. So fucking... Just stop already. You've forgotten the first rule: Research how to identify manipulation and conartist tactics (And counter-manipulation tactics), look for them in the people you are getting your information from (INCLUDING our president), and discern your truth through what is objectively in front of you, not fear, not hatred, not outrage, and not divisive politics... Don't just let Alex Jones spoon feed the shit to you, because he's far from the same guy who busted into Bohemian Grove. Telling you if you look at a lot of his rhetoric and how it has changed to over the years makes perfect sense when you find out who keeps him paid. Okay, I think I need to cool down and take a break from this site for a bit. That's been building up for a while. Love you all, even those circulating the divisive gaslight propaganda. Oh well, no one reads my posts fully anyways. Peace.

@choco 100% some kind of fact checking for both sides would be fucking amazing in return id get rid of the 24 hour news cycle

i think the more interesting discussion is the ramifications of appear and disappearing these things like the real life consequences

yeah, aggretsuko is another anime that is based on real problems in japan. KEK as if xD theres fiction and then theres ignoring blatant facts to stroke ones ego. japan is up its own ass with undeserving pride (not the younger generation though thankfully)
