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)

I think me and Ahmed gave the same answer, but with mine being indirect using an example, and Ahmed's answer being direct, so maybe people had a harder time understanding Ahmed's answer.

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")

"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)

I struggle to pay attention to long videos (it's an hour long) unless I'm already interested in it already, so I'll take your word for it (pretty sure I have ADHD or something), on the other hand I'd love an article or a PDF file I can just read, the interaction of having to actively pay attention to read helps focus my attention, and so I can work through hundreds of pages of a PDF after maybe a good week, but an hour long video is a bit much.

As far as (so called) "isreal" goes, there existence is highly dependent on US support, more concrete action to disrupt anything going to them from the US, if successfully done, may be more effective at stopping their crimes against humanity. A successful Revolution would end the support completely, but perhaps there are ...illegal to say... sort of things that an organized effort could pull off in the mean time (though such things can't be safely discussed in a public forum.) (hypothetically) (in minecraft)

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

I don't know about the history of the Church, but I do know that the word has been used for the handing out of legitimate and accurate information on a paper medium as a way of spreading awareness when one is censored by the State and cannot use the normal channels, and it has been used this way for a long long time before the use of it to mean the same as "lies" was popular.

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.
