We live in a country with people so narcissistic they are easily manipulated by propaganda that plays to their weakness

A Republican party once so opposed to Russia they had the slogan “better dead than red” now supports a Putin puppet

Smoothbrain non-voters and 3rd party voters believing Russian disinfo because it plays to whatever “moral objection” they hold this week

Fascist sympathizers always think they’ll be part of the power structure

…they’re always surprised when they’re not

“Fascist sympathizers always think they’ll be part of the power structure”. 👍

marti,

@flexghost you live in a country where liberals will scold you with ableist insults while at the same time supporting a party that offers no change but has increased militarisation of the police, supports an apartheid settler colonial state that's ethically cleansing the land while keeping immigrants seeking asylum at the border in concentration camps while chanting vote blue no matter who.

@marti awww all those popular buzzwords and not a drop of understanding what they mean.

Let’s put your reply up on the fridge for everyone to see.

@flexghost I'm constantly surprised by the number of Democrats who assert that Russia is still communist, a system that collapsed in 1991. Putin is as far from "red" - that is, communism - as Trump is. Trump and Putin are natural allies.

Is this just pretend ignorance?? I can't tell if people are being serious with this or are shitposting so they can feel smarter than Republicans? This does look like Karl Rov-ian levels of projection so I really can't tell what's going on here.

Newcanuk,

@flexghost you could draw a parallel to Israeli propaganda but without any party demarcation.

@flexghost@mastodon.social avatar

@Newcanuk source? Real news not that brainlet lefty stuff.

Someone always trying to run interference when they get butthurt I bring up their beloved Russia

Newcanuk,

@flexghost sorry for the misunderstanding. I was only bringing up a particular parallel to the acceptance (easily) of propaganda in the west which I noted from your post. I’m new to this and can’t see what I said but was trying bring attention to the pervasive propaganda coming from an ultra-right wing government in Israel. I’ll see myself out now. (And you may not find a bigger opppnent to Russia than me)

flexghost,

@Newcanuk you drew a false parallel and therefore insinuated Israeli
propaganda infiltrates US elections when there is no proof of this. There is proof of Russian propaganda in numerous official reports. Additionally, this shows that you wanted to divert the narrative. It is either in bad faith or complete misunderstanding and I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt but usually this kind of thing is intentional.
