that still operates under the misunderstanding that they listen to us at all

[-] Diuretic_Materialism@hexbear.net 23 points 6 months ago

Eh, if they didn't care at all why would they bother with all the propaganda?

[-] ProfessorAdonisCnut@hexbear.net 32 points 6 months ago

The propaganda ***is *** the part that cares, it's material policy that ignores you completely

[-] Diuretic_Materialism@hexbear.net 13 points 6 months ago

I'm... a bit confused by what you mean.

Like if you can get away with doing any material policy you want why bother with the propaganda to convince people it's good actually, just like, do it.

[-] CommunistBear@hexbear.net 19 points 6 months ago

To perpetuate the illusion and placate the masses

[-] Diuretic_Materialism@hexbear.net 13 points 6 months ago

Yeah which seems to suggest the opinion of the masses does actually matter.

Idk feel like we're talking past each other.

The opinions? No. The actions? Yes. The rich are always just a few weeks away from being completely destroyed by the working class taking actions. Propaganda isn't there because they care about public opinion. Propaganda is there to prevent mass action.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
