Haha wow this is the worst, dumbest statement I've heard in quite a while. Amazing!

"Having legs" was always the most basic tool of bicyclist propaganda. If you have no legs, you can't be fed bicyclist propaganda. The most steadfast anti-biker I knew in my childhood was a corn snake I found in my backyard. Bicycle propaganda did not reach him.

Bicycles are awesome, I'd love to start a cult related to them

[-] interolivary@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

Pretty literally what conservatism is about: keeping people stupid and in line. Hence their burning hatred for educamation

[-] Cleverdawny@lemm.ee 39 points 1 year ago

TIL communists can't speak

[-] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 year ago

Just here to say that I love your username.

Weren't attitudes like this literally why Lenin thought that Communism had to be forced on a society for a few generations for the least educated to "understand" Communism? Since there was no breaking through their preconceived notions? Because there's literally no reaching these people?

Yes...it's a dumb comment...but it's kind of interesting too. Are we seeing the rise of the Right in the US because short form video became popular?

[-] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

The us has always been right wing.

[-] ReCursing@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

No.

Next question?

[-] nightdice@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Short answer: No.

Long answer: no, but there is some correlation between the average attention span dropping, people enjoying short form videos, and a lack of a mind for nuance which is exploited by right wing propagandists and populists, causing a rise in right wing or even far right authoritarian politicians being elected across the world. I'm not nearly educated enough in the field to make any causation claims though (edit: except the one about propaganda exploiting a lack of nuance which causes those far right politicians to be elected, that one doesn't need a whole lot of expertise to confirm).
Also the US has always been a country of two conservative parties, which could have something to do with more people being susceptible to right wing propaganda

[-] Lobo6780@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

He probably watched too much TVP what is Polish governoment propaganda.

[-] EatMyDick@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Do you people actually know what a fucking meme is?

This sub is just tankie pictures. FML, shitty reddit client might be worth it.

Seriously, boomer tier tankie bs.

[-] Chadsalot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I had to reread about 8 times because I was so shook. Thanks for letting me know my eyes work (unfortunately).

Ah, so you guys are just using alts to end run around defederation now.

[-] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This is on lemmy.ml, which is federated with lemmygrad.

Also, not a dude, not everyone on the internet is a guy, especially in communist spaces.
