  • Former far-right autist here, while most propaganda does not work on us, empathy manipulation is way more apparent. I legitimately believed abortion killed little babies, because very big scary numbers. I feared that some people might regret a homosexual lifestyle, and by the age of 40 they realize they actually wanted a big family.

    But as people were way too gloating about the suffering of others, especially things I was told were “mandatory evils”, I typed “Jewish conspiracy disproved” into Google, and after going through a few pages of SEO spam there by antisemites, I found some way out.

    One another propaganda that works surprisingly well is through special interests. Ever wonder why fascists push the “woke propaganda” conspiracy theory in geek circles?


  • Issue is, the dominionist cult, that pushes this ultra-conservative christianity bullshit on not just the US, but on the whole world came into existence in the seventies at the latest, while The Handmaid’s Tale came out in 1985. If anything, the novel reflected about what was about to come, rather than some religious fanatics plagiarizing the book.

    “But then why I haven’t heard earlier about this?” The dominionists exploited the ridicule such “conspiracy theories” usually get. Frank Zappa tried to call it out, only to instantly destroy his career with it, many labeling him as a conspiracy theorist. Even minor callouts met with frustration, Richard Dawkins mentioning that “the evangelists are pushing hard for Israel due to their beliefs” in his book The God Delusion met with calling him a “antisemitic conspiracy theorist”, with later revisions even removing references to it. And nowadays, most liberals and many leftists are calling the conspirators as “not real christians”, because “Obama was a real and good christian unlike those fakes in the republican party” and “you should grow out of that Reddit atheist phase of yours”. Truly “they go low, we go high”.



  • Hungarian here, my mother’s boyfriend is still a Fidesz supporter after losing his business due to losing some tax exemptions. Long story short: it’s cheaper to run a single person LLC than to be self-employed, because our politicians in the nineties totally ate the propaganda, that “CEOs once were very hard working workers, just got promoted for their hard work to be CEOs”. He however did not had the money to save up for an LLC.








  • What I expect to happen is that pedophile activism will move away from “but what about children’s sexuality?” (TL;DR: even teens with actual sex drive are “too dumb” for it, and most pedophiles equate harm with serious body injury from penetration which was exaggerated by some rabid anti-pedophiles) towards “children are the parents property and thus allowed to do anything to them” and child marriage legalization.
