It's because there is attention on it, the US has done shit like this since it's founding (over the corpses of natives), and despite it being such par for the course stuff done the world over for imperialist super exploitation, this time there is too much attention on it, and so "AI DID IT! Trust me bro!"

I'm more interested in the Frames, I always wanted to try and get into VR but it was always either too expensive or too Facebook.

This wasn't intended as an attack and I wasn't trying to be passive aggressive, I was trying to help. As someone struggling to over come life long crippling social anxiety, I've been trying to move from being a lurker to actually posting. But it turns out that participating in discussion takes enormously more energy than just lurking, so I did not put in adequate effort into my attempt to help.

I was overwhelmed trying to parse your comment, I'm still terrible at breaking things down into smaller, easier to process pieces, and so all the bundled up errors in your post was too much for me to try and break down and address, but I still wanted to at least try and help.

I was trying to read the rest of your posts in this thread, but I couldn't get through them all as the way you look down on people hurts my stomach. Please, we mean no hostility, so stop giving us yours. (thank you in advanced)

Mean while in China they build walls of green around sand dune deserts and slowly erase the desert (de-desertification), Build, use, and export more Electric Vehicles and Solar Panels then anyone else, have more kilometers of train tracks than the rest of the world combined, and make Clean Tech and Efficiency Improvement Innovation after Innovation.

Amazing what a country can do when it's State isn't driven by the interests of Capital and it's exploitation of people near and far.

I'm not so sure about the reasoning here, Fascists also drink water, breath air, and eat food (at least until they become "the only good Fascist")

The material conditions determines the consciousness, the superstructure shapes peoples view of reality, the ideological belief that people's ideas are separate from the conditions of their life and the metaphysical belief that historical events are independent and separate from each other doesn't support the existence of Nazi Germany (or Fascist Italy or Imperialist Japan), doesn't explain why people would do such horrible things in one circumstance yet wonderful things in another, yet Dialectical Materialism as applied to History does, Fascists aren't born, they are made, and it isn't a magical decision pulled from the void, or heaven or hell or a soul that makes them, but rather the shit those around them tells them, in the news paper, on the radio, along with material conditions like starving or being worried you'll end up on the street, and the Capitalist controlled misinformation sources tells you it is this or that persons fault you are suffering, anyone convenient and that isn't the Capitalists.

Pacifism is that lofty luxury that those who want to actually have a future cannot afford as Fascists wont hesitate to shoot us in the face thinking that it'll somehow make life better for themselves, and the further into Fascist Ideology they are pulled by Capitalist lies the more painful it would be for the Fascist to believe what they are doing are mistakes.

Those suffering and dying under slavery and oppressing cannot turn up their noses at the idea of using the tools soaked in their own blood the masters used against them back onto the masters as a part of becoming free. Capitalism has already murder well over a billion people the world over to maintain it's death grip over us.

"Propaganda" "Propagating", interesting, that makes a lot of sense. As for manipulation, it is a bit of a loaded term, when exposed to new information, one may make a different decision than they otherwise would have, you could say that the exposure to that new information had "manipulated" them, but that wouldn't make the information necessarily untrue or the "manipulation" as being a "bad thing" (metaphysics territory).

As far as lies go, you don't need them nor would they even be all that useful when what one advocates for is the truth anyway. (like Scientific Socialism(Marxism Leninism))

Thanks for the mini history lesson by the way.

Thanks BTW, it was reading your posts on lemmy.ml that got me started on this path in the first place, I'd probably still be believing all sorts of absurd lies against Socialist countries if not for you, it has truly opened my mind to an amazing world of both possibilities and a far more hopeful current reality. (that and the depth of the Capitalists crimes against humanity whose true depth I hadn't known)

Really, I used to live in an utterly hopeless darkness where I thought the only future for humanity was extinction, and it had been eating me up inside, ML Theory enabled me to see the light of humanity, just how beautiful humans can be if given the right conditions, and China has given me astronomically massive hope for the future that I'd still be blind too otherwise.

Thank you, Comrade.

This post is an excellent example of why reading Marxist Leninist Theory should not be treated as optional, there is so much wrong with the post I'm not even sure where to start, and I don't really have the energy for it either, so unfortunately we'll just have to leave it at that. (BTW Cowbee has an excellent guide to help you get started Basic and Advanced)

As fiction exists but describes things that may not exist, I think the answer is also yes.

That is an issue, though with that in mind one major difference between Capitalism and Socialism is that Capitalism doesn't really care if Cops are abusive sacks of shit, so long as they keep serving the interests of Capital, on the other hand, in Socialism the whole point of the system is to best serve the interests and well being of the people in what ever capacity the current level of development of the country can provide, and so while Capitalism let's Cops fester with power hungry racists, Socialism actively works to root out and remove corruption, finding and kicking out the power abusers.

The "Founding Fathers" (rich slavers) had set up the "Democracy" (of the rich) with "Checks and Balances" to prevent the "Tyranny of the Majority" (Actual Democracy) precisely so the Capitalist Class (them) would remain in complete control. Considering this, it is very unlikely the modern Capitalist Class would somehow not be aware of the ways their own class has set things up to keep themselves on top and the rest of us underfoot. It is much more likely they know exactly what they are doing up on the stage, that all the real decision making is done behind closed doors, that the Billionaires and Trillionaires get the final say, and that the electoral clown show in the big party tent exists to fool the populace, only different from the start in that they got better at it. I remember when Biden straight up looked like he was having an orgasm in response to Trump "winning the election" as if it's what he wanted to happen, like say, because it would mean they can get everything they want WITHOUT having to hide the shit they do, and so Trump also functions as a scapegoat, if they get everything the want to just "cast all the blame on Trump" Trump goes off to live in blood soaked luxury, having done his job, then the Democrats swoop in to "save the day". Such a tactic can only work however if people fall for the clown show and don't realize that it is the entire Capitalist system itself that is the problem and the only way forward is to overthrow it and replace it with a Socialist system.
