thank you

yes that is one topic i found really hard to understand when first reading asian communists, i only knew the european definition of patrotism which is chauvinist and almost always ultranationalist

paywall, cant read

When I try to explain this to people, they usually say “Why should we care about other countries? We don’t need to pay for their expenses! It’s theit fault that they let themselves be exploited, we also didn’t have outside help.” and I dont know how to respond to that…

It’s The Economist, what do you expect? They have always been the same. Even Lenin wrote about it: “The Economist, a journal that speaks for the British millionaires, is pursuing a very instructive line in relation to the war. Representatives of advanced capital in the oldest and richest capitalist country, are shedding tears over the war and incessantly voicing a wish for peace. Those Social-Democrats who, together with the opportunists and Kautsky, think that a socialist programme consists in the propaganda of peace, will find proof of their error if they read The Economist. Their programme is not socialist, but bourgeois-pacifist. Dreams of peace, without propaganda of revolutionary action, express only a horror of war, but have nothing in common with socialism.” (Lenin 1915)

(when i say propaganda i mean fascist propagada that is used to decieve the working class, not educational propagada like lenin imagined)

unfortunately the right wing parties have somehow mastered the social media, it seems they got almost infinite resources for spreading hate and bigotry

yeah, thats how this propaganda works. bot accounts say it first, then a real human copies their narrative, it spreads, and the lies get lost in the sauce

dont take any youtube (or any social mainstream social media site) comments too serious, 50% if not more are ai bots. comments are useless nowadays

Of course they referenced fucking Popper hahaha

If they were to admit that deflation can have benefits, the people in their (the newspapers audience) countries would see it in a postive light which they cannot allow for obvious reasons

the whole organ harvesting thing could just be completely destroyed by just making organ donations opt-out after death instead of opt-in. it is so stupid and i dont get why it isnt implemented anywhere besides a few countries. religion?

I still don’t quite understand why they shut down USAID, wasn’t it one of the most influential ways for the US to spread their propaganda?
