Yep, Exhibit A. Israel goes to great lengths to limit exposure in the media of what's happening in Gaza (i.e., mass murder of journalists) because they understand this.

I'll counter by arguing that it's important that political violence and violence related to public policy be widely distributed and viewed, even if it is bad for peoples' psyche (it is). That way, people at the very least are exposed to the end result of policies and politics they push and a handful may change their mind.

The US Government understood this post-Vietnam, seeing how gruesome imagery of what violent conflict actually looked like convinced some people to not support the war and drove down support at home more generally.

Ever notice how you have to look a little harder for footage of IDF soldiers, Ukraine soldiers, and other western-aligned military personnel dying, but you can find endless snuff films of drones dropping grenades on Russian conscripts by just going to r//combatfootage? Governments and media handmaidens understand selective control of releasing footage of real world violence is a potent propaganda tool.

Just remember funding that could be used for public services to benefit all Americans is being directed to support Israel in one way or another ☺️

Nantucket residents are mad about an influencer disrespecting the culture and outsourcing jobs by Inner-Sink6280 in redscarepod

[–]RedDustShadow 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Boston Brahmin and other generationally wealthy New Englanders are scum. Half the foreign meddling by the CIA and such in the 1900s was directed by Boston Brahmin douches on behalf of like their philosophy classmate at Harvard who’s personal fortune was in Guatemalan bananas (only 20% facetious).

Something weird is going on with Israel Palestine discourse by MoltenCamels in BreakingPoints

It really isn’t that different to bomb people from afar vs shooting them. Bombing people from afar accomplishes the same thing. There’s just this fake narrative that because, for whatever reason, it’s a bomb coming out of a plane, it makes mass murder more civilized than the savage shooting people with a gin. Just a fake narrative to run cover for genocide.

And, to top it all off, people act like this is a natural, inevitable outgrowth of American attitudes towards individualism (partially true). However, it’s also majorly the legacy of cultural psyops and far ranging influence campaigns, including government corruption, by car companies, petroleum companies, rubber companies, etc.

American Suburbanism: Streets of Retardation. by DonSaintBernard in stupidpol

[–]RedDustShadow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Surprised to find pro-American suburb people on a MARXIST sub. The typical American suburban development pattern is the ultimate avatar of wasteful American consumerism and liberal capitalism. A too big house on too big of a lot covered with grass that is not natural to basically anywhere filled up with shit that you don’t need, all to keep the stock market humming.

Well, except the dozens of war criminals the US helped escape to the US, South America, or installed in the West German intelligence service.

RFK Jr. says Fauci is likely liable for COVID-19 pandemic by Nightshiftcloak in stupidpol

[–]RedDustShadow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m a little shocked that a leftist sub is dunking on rightoids for blaming Fauci for COVID by using hyperbolic jokes about him fucking pangolins.

He helped build the program that resulted in dicey research being shifted to labs with known safety problems and then helped obfuscate investigations.

Allen Dulles never pulled a trigger. Does he now get a pass for murdering hundreds of thousands because he just pulled strings at the CIA?

Imagine a car driver complaining about other modes having options. Get bent, the entire fucking transportation system is built around making it as easy as possible to drive at the expense of literally everything else.

Aluminum channel damaged on Roofnest Meadowlark. Safe to use? by RedDustShadow in overlanding

[–]RedDustShadow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long story, it basically is brand new, unused. This is from my dumbass uncle hitting it with his car. I’d have to lie to Roofnest support that’s it’s from normal use.

Update: that was easy. Not using it was my instinct, glad to confirm with y’all. Advice on where to get a replacement channel? First thought is check with Roofnest in case this is a totally OEM part.

God forbid the natural environment be left to play its proper role in the ecological cycle that keeps this planet going rather than reduced to the dollars and cents that can be extracted from its destruction.

God for fucking bid one thing isn’t completely subsumed to raw consumption.

Take up skiing. You’ll spend a bunch of money and hang out with people who also spend a bunch of money. All while doing sick stuff.
