no it’s because they support rape
no excuses
they support rape
Yep, they’re all clincally diagnosable as having presistent, specific delusions.
Aunt clara can’t conspiracy theory the oil and gas industry?!?!
British petroleum invented the carbon footprint and climate change denialism but aunt clara want to talk about little simon’s gender…
Has there ever been a more shameless shower of bastards than BP? Talk about choosing the greater evil.
Forgot to also add they killed Mohamed Mozadegh, the first democratically elected president of iran in 1953, a socialist and instead placed the Shah with the help of the british crown and the US gov, If you wonder why Iran has it for europe and the US, this is the tip of the iceberg of why. Plenty of fucked up shit happened later as well.
God, I hate that the fight for democracy is essentially continuously trying to explain reality to the dumbest people to have ever lived, and hoping that they learn something.
It’s explaining a reality that disagrees with the pre-conceived beliefs. The reason why Facebook works is that the algorithm makes it so it feeds them information that they already believe.
And because the people who buy into it are the dumbest people on the planet.
Why are Americans obsessed with gender reassignment more than much else? Of all the things.
Because it’s peculiar and a classic outgroup. Can’t kill gays and black people as freely anymore, so they went elsewhere.
A more comprehensive answer, because oligarchs need to steal money from somewhere in order to fuel their fortunes. They disenfranchise some to take from them and distract people with culture wars. It’s globally very politically consistent.
One of the easiest counterpoints to “blue” politicians that want to abandon Trans people as “they’re just not a huge voting bloc” is that fascists will just target another group next time the target stops working. First it was women, then black people, then gays. They will always have someone for hatred, and they don’t actually have any alliances (even in hatred).
Of course, the simpler counterpoint is “Ahhhh, you almost fooled me into thinking you weren’t fascist! It was a pretty good disguise though. Anyway, debating each other is a waste of time, since you don’t process thoughts and feelings, right?”
Yep. The anti gay propaganda failed hard over a decade ago so they pivoted to a much smaller group, less understood and harder to empathise with. Sympathy is one thing, but if you’re not trans, it’s damned hard to imagine yourself in those shoes. On top of all that, everyone knows a gay person, much less so trans folks.
And trans people have even more against them! Know how we automatically and instinctively identify someone’s sex from a quarter second glance of a quarter profile? Trans people can turn that sense on its ear and that freaks some people out.
I don’t give a shit, but I can see why they’re a perfect target. If we can keep our eye on, “trans rights are human rights”, we can overcome this thing eventually.
Other actors creating a misinformation campaign to confuse the electorate. We have seen what Fox news and CNN and the 25 hour news channels have done in the 90s and amplified it and democratized it and made it freely accessible to everyone with an internet connection. Grandma never stood a chance against it.
This is true, but it’s also true that Cambridge Analytica specifically utilized military psychological operations tactics to weaponize messaging via social media.
Facepals et. al. are more virulent and sadistic than they would have been without evil manipulation.
IDK who Cambridge Analytics is, but since the 1950s the US advertising industry started using military techniques to induce feelings of inadequacy, isolation and hopelessness in viewers, offering products as cures. People want to blame the epidemic of depression on their chosen modern circumstance du jour, but it really comes from a lifetime of conditioning.
That was a Facebook thing
