They invent a world of bogeymen so that they can do exactly what they make-believe the other side is doing. "They make-believe do it, so it's just fair if I do it."

[–] [email protected] 69 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yep. This isn't lack of self awareness or hypocrisy. It's manufacture of consent for them to do what they want.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Quite literally it. We even coined the scientific name for it already!

Digressive Victimhood.

i find that its almost always projection with these people

they will seldomly accuse the left of wanting things like socialism or healthcare or of wanting to end tesla

"Gotta do it to them ~~to stop them from doing it~~ before they can do it to us!"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"Make believe doing to us."

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Exactly. (Fixed my comment)

Elon is what the right wing thought Soros was.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 day ago

Classic projection again

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Invoking 'Soros' is just plain old antisemitism. The real one, the far right wing one.

This guy really shouldn't be reproducing

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

He has to give money for woman to accept his IVF, I bet

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

He shouldn't be reproducing and much like my sperm donor should be nowhere near "his" descendants.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The thing is that when he says Soros he doesn't mean Soros, he means something that would make him sound even more like a Nazi.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 days ago

People are deluded or pretending that he didn't bring up Soros for this very specific reason.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Can't a Nazi bribe in peace people! The jews/Soros are standing in his way.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

He’s completely aware. He just knows that the GOP doesn’t give a shit about rules/norms/morals when they feel it benefits “their side”. The hypocrisy is intentional.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 days ago

This is giving so much 1984 vibes...

War is Peace

Freedom is Slavery

Ignorance is Strength

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Flagrany hypocrisy is a flex.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

It's an embrace of the invisible.

They use religion to "prove" they're right.

They use A.I. to "prove" they're smart.

They use Bitcoin to "prove" they're rich.

A consensus of tomfoolery.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

yeah, this was truly insane

and the reality is that a lot will fall for it, or will skew their belief system just enough to be somehow okay with this

i can't imagine any soros-hating conspiracy theorist to be cool with any of this shit our oligarch slave masters are peddling. he is literally what you should be afraid of.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

He is just going through a nazi checklist at this point.

In MAGAland everyone except George Soros agrees with trump and musk and the only possible reason that people don't, is bribery

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They waffled between gates and Soros for a while too

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I love how Gates never caught on for some reason. I wonder if it's because they had easier targets with Hilary and Soros.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

It's all a matter of guilt, ...as they see it

If you're a member of the trump Reich you are guilty of nothing and if you are any kind of supporter of Democracy

You are guilty of everything

John Queally needs to get familiarized with the scientific act of digressive victimhood already.

Its times like this I wish the US education system wasn't such a disaster.

Getting rid of the department of education should help!
