The best example of American propaganda was a video I saw of a marine who had fought on Iwo Jima who said “how come there’s so much emphasis on mount suribachi and the flag raising? While they’re putting that flag up I’m losing men. It’s a good symbol or whatever you want to call it, but what about the rest of us guys?”

That’s some absolute helldivers or starship trooper shit to put up a flag, not when the fighting is done, but in the middle of a combat zone while other guys are bleeding out and screaming around you all because it looks good in silent black and white.

It’s a pretty awful term mainly because there are absolutely instances of humans shields. Ukraine uses its citizens as human shields, Gaza is different in my mind though because the area is so small how could you do ANYTHING there to free yourself from oppression without inviting civilian casualties?

That sounds pretty reasonable. What exactly is Trotskyism?

It’s a nickname he got for some reason. You know, anglos being anglos.

Roger waters is probably the most outspoken left wing musician from that era still. I’ve heard Geezer Butler is also left wing, but he’s not very outspoken. Punched plenty of Nazis though so that’s cool.

masculinizing hypnosis for people who aren't confident in their identity, or as a product for conversion-therapy grift.

That’s watching male motivational videos on YouTube actually. Pretty much exactly what you described.

And just like Ukraine it’s either do it now or submit to the west forever.

The signs have always been there. I’ve been saying for years that if American troops were to ever invade China they would be met with the hard reality that Chinese people’s lives are actually better than what they experience at home in the US. Now that hypersonics are involved the US wouldn’t even be able to do that. Americas fucked.

As opposed to smooth jazz, you know, the meme genre.

That’s going into bro REALLY shouldn’t have had access to a gun territory even by American capitalist standards.
