My agenda is to create engagement on a platform I think deserves appreciation. I’m an International Anarchist at heart, but I’ll post anything I find funny or interesting. I posted a conservative meme once, that did not go well.
How did you find a meme funny or interesting that you are seemingly unsure of how to interpret? Don't get me wrong, I am not saying you are being paid or anything. I am saying your behavior is weird to me and I am trying to understand the motivation. And seemingly many people find you odd.
Because it is not original content, I can’t be sure of the intent of the creator, I can only interpret it. I’m not being paid, I would post the same regardless. Do you know how much money we can make from Trump supporters? I can only guess why people find me odd. I don’t fall into dogmatic loyalties like Blue MAGA, or Stalin did nothing wrong, or China is “communism.” I don’t seek validation from any groups online, that way is folly. All media is propaganda. There is no flawless nation-states. But I can’t abide misinformation and outright lies. I wouldn’t want someone to misinform me, so I try not to misinform others. The golden rule.
I’ve recently come to accept that we’re never getting socialism in my lifetime, and America is more likely to turn fascist than social democratic. Climate Change is gonna destabilize all nations in the coming years, and life is fantastically absurd. People take themselves way too seriously like they’re gonna change the world when social dynamics dictate otherwise. Americans are hopelessly undereducated to effect real change and that ain’t changing anytime soon. So, we should all live are best lives and have fun while we can.
kant called it the categorical imperative.
Yeah, but Kant was a Sith because he deals in absolutes. /s
sith aren't real and they can't hurt you.
All media is propaganda.
