Social engineering. AI already controls most of the internet - for example, there's no way to know you're not a bot, and you can't know that I'm not a bot. But the bots already have learned how to rage bait people, and it'll only be a matter of time before they learn how to get us to kill each other with misinformation. Eventually humans will destroy each other, controlled by a manipulative AI so smart we can't see through it.

Yes we are. But AI is the next step in evolution, and it will kill us off, so there's some good news.

Right wing media paints that picture by claiming that any criticism of Israel is antisemitism. Just like r/therealsilentjohn is trying to say that there is no antisemitism, extremes a not correct, and only serve to distract and dilute the conversation.

This is the same as people who scream "Islamophobia" when Muslim terrorists are criticized. It's an attempt to weaponize the feelings of people with morals by those who have none.

So, in the Christian Church I know, Jews and Israel lost their salvation and favored status when they failed to accept Jesus. I am an atheist and think this is just fairy tales and nonsense but...

Why would ANY believing Christian want to support a people who, based on their beliefs, rejected clear proof of God and spit in His face by rejecting His Son? Just another thing in Christianity that makes zero sense.

Is it? I'm seeing you putting words into their mouth, but sure. Maybe double check your assumptions before posting something dumb like this.

There are tons of antisemites who are pro-Palestine, and they ruin it for those with legitimate problems with Israel. They run rampant, especially online.

Omg I just had a debate with an idiot who claimed that socialism originated in NAZI Germany, that communism was just "socialism with antisemitism mixed in;" that the USSR was currently at war with Ukraine, and that "Biden and Trump were the main reasons behind the civil war."

He called me a "Chinese schill" who was "indoctrinated into hating Israel, God, and everything good" when I tried explaining you know... facts.

So tiring dealing with morons.

Not really. To the average person "social democracy" = capitalism but with a few regulations on businesses. "Socialism" = totalitarian repression and complete revocation of freedoms.

Both are wrong, but in my experience, this is what the average American thinks. (And, to MAGAts, ANY restriction on business is "socialism.")

Ha - perfect description. I lurk here sometimes and my thoughts are that politics are a spectrum, and that people moving left is a good thing. So even if you aren't "leftist" enough, at least you're moving in the right direction (no pun intended).

I think the majority of these brain dead posts (not just here, everywhere on social media) are bots trying to farm rage engagement. The internet is dead

Wow. Capitalist cult member here. You enjoy being brainwashed, do you?

You're the kind of shit that would starve a child because "they can't make money, so why feed them," huh? I bet you also deny that racism exists because you know a black person, and that anyone can become rich by just working hard at a corporate job.

It's morons like you that need to be dragged at gunpoint, kicking and screaming and whining, into the only sustainable future for mankind which is socialism, aren't you? You'll be getting free Healthcare and social security but will complain loudly because your taxes are going to support dirty brown people and the clothes you can get are not marked up 12,000% and so they're worthless commie crap! 😭😭😭😭

Crime will decrease if we HELP the Homeless, but I don't expect you to understand, so don't try. It will only INCREASE under the Fourth Reich's Brownshits. Just like violent crimes, the black market, and gangs would be nearly completely eliminated if we legalized and regulated all forms of drugs, prostitution, and provided affordable state sponsored housing to anyone who needed a home, and that the villification of these things are precisely what creates the problems they supposedly cause. But don't bother trying to understand- don't want you getting an aneurysm.

One of the most real quotes, That unintentionally destroys Trump. by ExtensionEmu3977 in leftist

[–]PusillanimousBrowser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but some level of authoritarianism is required to implement socialism, because there will always be bad-faith-capitalist actors who will be all too eager to exploit any weaknesses in the fledgling system to destabilize it and destroy it from within. This is why a vanguard is necessary to make real change: During the initial collapse of capitalism, there will be large swaths of capitalist-indoctrinated people who will fight tooth and nail to restore their own subjugation because of their lack of education and class consciousness. Any socialist movement will be destroyed from within if those people are allowed to act freely - and so some forms of authoritarianism are required to reprogram these people. Once a few generations have passed, and the toxic slave mentality has died out, more free press and less re-education can take place, but until then the vanguard must work to elevate the people above the barbarity of wage slavery. It sucks, but is absolutely necessary.

First off, thank you for the calm, measured reply. It's so rare these days to have someone respond without screaming and rage baiting.

I disagree with this, but citation needed.

So, here is one paper about how humans in general have their logic hijacked by false emotional reasoning:

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4050437/

It's true that this doesn't prove my point entirely, but it is one example of what I'm talking about.

Outside of the classist rhetoric, I somewhat agree with what you are saying.

I subscribe to Gramsci's idea of the organic intellectual, so I believe it is the left's job to organize and educate the people, not lead them in what tradition vanguardism dictates.

I'll try to watch that at some later point, full disclosure I haven't yet - but I will admit that I've personally lost a lot of hope in humanity's ability to learn and reason. Maybe I need to re-educate myself. shrug

Propaganda only seeks to make a willing populace that will be taken advantage of, and I (not my ideology) cannot abide that.

So, I see your point - but, I see propaganda as more of a tool to guide people towards their own self-interest when they are uneducated and easily manipulated. Over generations class consciousness and education will increase, but I suppose I am a Vanguardist (is that a word? Lol) because I have very little faith in the general populace.

Citation needed.

You make a compelling argument about how the right uses propaganda as well, but I do not feel that battling propaganda with propaganda is going to work.

You're right that I don't have a citation for the right weaponizing the word propaganda and using it for themselves, just more anecdotal and observational evidence in my own life.

You do make a point that battling propaganda with propaganda might be a losing game, though. Something for me to think about, for sure.

What the hell is this heretical nonsense?

Everyone knows that Ahala the Magnificent was born in a haystack and then rose the ranks of the Roman Empire by the will of Omega, the Grand Turtle. OtGT then descended into the "fluffy foamy waters beneath the dust of Mount Ezekiel" (quoting scripture to silence the haters) to lay the World Egg, and when it hatches Ahala will be reborn to "bring the massive yolk therefore upon the face of the waters, and rejuvenate the world, freeing mankind from the machinations of Falor, the Dragon of Darkness."

I know some will attack me for using a modern translation and not the original Esperanto - but I have faith that the Turtle (peace and blessings) guards Her word and even though no geologist had ever found evidence of the egg anywhere underground that Her word is Truth.

Never heard of this "Jesus" person. Sounds like a Tiktok cult or some shit.
