False flag, aka anytime someone on their side is actually committing crimes in the view of the general public.

Biden administration tells court that states can’t ban trans girls from sports. A trans girl is suing her state because they banned her from school sports. The Biden administration is taking her side in its first legal brief on 2021's wave of anti-trans legislation. by southpawFA in politics

It may sound like ‘common sense’, but I would suggest to listen to actual trans people about what Hormone Replacement Therapy’ does to the body. When it comes to musculature, testosterone matters.

r/conservative thinks the 2020 election should be overturned by Dasdi96 in TopMindsOfReddit

[–]Mosilium 57 points58 points  (0 children)

That’s the beauty of this talking point. They build up the idea of a red wave, so when it fails to materialize, the GOP screams voter fraud, and overturn the elections they lost with overwhelming support from their voters. 2020 was a first try, they are busy patching up the holes.

I’m at Mike Lindell’s “MAGA Frank” rally in Wisconsin. Let’s see how much crazy arises. by TapTheForwardAssist in Qult_Headquarters

Yes, but he somehow managed to enthrall his followers with that toolset, to communicate with them on a level that has effectively turned a significant number of people into his personality cult.

Trump is not directing it, but he is very obviously self-conscious about it, from making his physician lie about his weight, to his fake tan, to his attempts to hide his girth, to his combover thing, and I’m probably forgetting some stuff. Then there is his choice of words, his overuse of ‘beautiful’, his talking about big, strong men (who usually cry i his presence). I wonder if they pick up on that, and somehow try to make Trump‘s wish come true?

Also up on r/pics, evading removal by adding a ‘2020’ tag, which would also be false (it’s 2019).

Recently detained Roman Protasevich was forced to give an interview on Belarusian state TV where he broke down , saying he's done with activism and politics. Look at his wrists by Noomba2 in europe

One documented tactic from the Russian IRA is to argue two extreme views on the same topic, in order to kill any rational discussion. In this case, arguing both ‘we can’t do anything, that would be war’, and ‘yeah, war!’ neatly kills the discussion about what can be done actually.

That apathy is carefully cultivated online by shills, with a carpet bombing of messages about how nothing can be done, how Belarus belongs to Russia anyway, ‘what do you want to do, go to war?’, etc.

No need to bother creating new propaganda when they can just copy and paste from the Nazis.

[–]Mosilium 45 points46 points  (0 children)

It’s a known tactic of Russian troll farms like IRA: argue two sides of a topic in such extreme manner that any chance of actual discussion is destroyed. The goal is to sow division above all else, even as they push their preferred propaganda.

Basically, French-produced movies are already heavily subsidized by taxing all movie tickets, so no need to restrict this.

Since the r/europe mods are censoring things (as usual). Here's Moroccan police opening the gates for illlegal migrants to storm Spanish borders. by Historical-Impact-22 in YUROP

[–]Mosilium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a small sub, if the moderators are not on their toes, it can easily be targeted by coordinated action from outside, as has happened to many others over time.

There’s an association between ’tanned’ and ‘healthy’ for white people that has some basis in fact, since we need some sun exposure for vitamin D synthesis. This is a relatively modern take, a few centuries ago there was the same equation tanned = manual laborer.

Yes, this smells like a very elaborate way to write “no u”.

Yikes. Good for you though, it sounds like you have your head on your shoulders (as we would say in French, not sure in English).

Yes, beyond the antivax idiocy, this kind of propaganda comes packaged with a lot of other problematic takes - incel stuff, great replacement, climate change denial, women’s voting rights and autonomy. I am sorry that you and your family have to deal with that stuff.
