I'm just listening to the Citations Needed podcast, and they talked about how even since the Spanish War Americans have been using women rights to justify their aggression.

I've always suspected that many of these kinds of images were staged or propaganda.

Every so often you'll see a meme on Reddit with a bunch of American teenagers being athletic in the 60s. The meme suggests that people were healthy and fit back then, but I happen to know that the footage was for a physical fitness push at the time (gotta do more pushups than the commies) and the athletes were far from typical students.

This right here is the actual reason libs hate Trump so much. He doesn't try to put a fig leaf over the atrocities US commits, he just comes out and says we're in Syria to take their oil.

[-] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 5 hours ago

ive always said that the difference between trump and libs is that he doesnt do "strategic ambiguance"

[-] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 11 points 21 hours ago

And half the population cheers him on for saying it, the other half are mad that he revealed their "secret" plan.

[-] Willy@sh.itjust.works -3 points 12 hours ago

nah. its the bafoonary, and the self centeredness and who he enables.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 hours ago

if that was the case then they would've hated Biden too

[-] JokeDeity@lemm.ee -4 points 5 hours ago

Don't bother, you're in Opposite Land, where reality is made up and the facts don't matter!

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 5 points 5 hours ago

Can you elaborate?

They look like they are checking out those Syrian girls.

[-] pseudo@jlai.lu 7 points 20 hours ago

What kind of pants is that and where can I bought the same?

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 hours ago

Legit those pockets look like they could hold a small tablet, or at least a kindle.

Posting picture of 70s men to deter the possible attack?

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago

Or to encourage someone to liberate the country from the upcoming fascist regime? 🤷

[-] Squizzy@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

Upcoming...America been fucky for a long time.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Sure, but it's about to go from awful to historically atrocious.

Everything that's broken now is going to continue to be as broken or get worse, and a ton of other things are going to be broken beyond repair.

Don't be fooled by the business as usual behavior of the Dem leadership now that they're not trying to get elected; this is fucking catastrophic for the entirety of humanity.

[-] Squizzy@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

Im not fooled, I just think americans have been doing the whole emperors new clothes thing for a long time. It has always been built on nonsense and bravado and now it will be crippled by it. It is so very obvious that this is a mission of america's enemies but it is deserved at this stage.

[-] superkret@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

this is fucking catastrophic for the entirety of humanity.

I agree it's dangerous, but 85% of humanity live in countries that are already either on USA's shit list or don't-give-a-shit list, and have never benefited from a Democrat US government either.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

Yes, I know. My point is that what's already bad is gonna get much worse.

As awful as the Neoliberal status quo that the Dem leadership lost all parts of the government insisting on, the first Trump administration was just a trial run where he was often hindered by people with a modicum of scruples or those without being unprepared to the point of incompetence.

Jan 6th was the Beer hall putsch. They're doing the night of the long knives and the Reichstag fire simultaneously while the Mango Mussolini takes the train to ~~Rome~~ Washington. Additional reference to 1920s and 30s fascism.

[-] Graphy@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

As someone who has spent their whole life fighting against their hair wanting to look feathered I just want to say that I’d be killing it in the 70s

[-] swab148@lemm.ee 9 points 1 day ago

I just need a few pairs of those pants, like right now

[-] VHS@hexbear.net 64 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Especially absurd to use this propaganda angle when the West is backing Islamic fundamentalists to overthrow a secular state

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 29 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's a particularly effecttive angle because progressive liberals are sympathetic towards the victims of fundamentalist regimes, but are largely ignorant to the US's backing of them, while conservative liberals are just looking for an excuse to be racist.

"You do not understand. Moslem bad and the government look like Moslem therefore we must kill all their women." - Average liberal.

[-] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago

lmao the 1970s was still ba'athist but under Assad's dad

[-] inv3r510n@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Disagree, it’s if we find out about oil we need to liberate it

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 35 points 1 day ago

Oil is only one factor, what matters is the country's stance towards US Imperialist interests and how they work for or against those interests.

[-] inv3r510n@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

Oh yeah I forgot, also selling oil in any currency besides USD. That will get you some freedom! 🦅🦅🦅

[-] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Well oil was discovered in Crimea and northeast Ukraine in like 2012, so we really dropped the ball there.
