I don't think they educate anyone in that. If one finds them funny, one is already well convinced of critiques of white supremacy. They're jokes, not education.

I just want more creative jokes tbh

It doesn't need to be racist to be cringe or unhelpful

Honestly I thought these jokes were funny 3 or 4 years ago but have we not beat the dead horse enough at this point? It's just overplayed now

Even if this were true, nato-cool does exactly the same thing: https://www.act.nato.int/article/cognitive-warfare-strengthening-and-defending-the-mind/

Every accusation a confession

I think it's definitely worth a retread.

Also read some Kurt Vonnegut. A self-described socialist and all his works are post-war.

Grapes of Wrath namedrops Marx and Lenin and one of the characters not only finds his own purpose as a union organizer, but becomes this Christlike figure who inspires and leads his community. How exactly does it not advocate a better system? It's a work of fiction, it's not going to lay out the nuts and bolts of an American gosplan or something.

I'm also a cis man and I feel almost exactly the same way you do. The only difference is I don't mind people referring to me by they/them at all. I've also wondered this just because this site has such a high number of enbies and discusses it often. Honestly, at times it is hard for me to understand the intensity of people's feelings on their gender, but I want to respect everyone regardless.

Just Stop Oil does suck tbf

There were restrictions?

Idk how anyone, even a Biden supporter, could watch this and not pick up them switching, without missing a beat, from "We're not going to follow poll numbers" to word salad starting with "We're going to follow the American people". They're almost as most as bad at PR as the Israelis. Laughable

former colonist of Syria says what?

I don't know if it's possible to say one lens precedes the other, and if it is, the order is probably different for different people. Pornbrain may get you to right wing thought, or vice versa, but it's all from a deep feeling of insecurity and resulting pleasure from hierarchy.
