i wonder if propaganda was as bullshit a century ago as it is now

@bonifartius
While I was thinking about a reply I realized that people back then were as ignorant and stupid as the people of nowdays :ablobrollingeyes:

@Elfie yeah, only that everyone now constantly is hammered with media. i think it twists the brain. a century ago you had people whose reality was their community. now i know about cluster fucks happening across the globe.

and that is fedi, most people know only about the "approved happenings" and are happy with it.

@bonifartius propaganda has evolved to the point it can manufacture narratives and also "realities" attached to them

Like this whole "climate change" nonsense, every morning I hear on the news "Pakistan is flooded, Lombardi is flooded" and I laugh because it's got nothing to do with me, I live in Latin America whatever happens overseas is not our concern

But they push this ideas constantly to create a "reality" in which climate change is real

@Elfie i mean, it might be real, might be sun cycles or whatever. might even be CO2, only that all the bullshit common people have to do doesn't help jack shit against CO2.

i recently saw a video of someone who said more or less exactly the same things happened ~130 years ago, but i have to look into it and verify that.

I don't believe anything that I can't reason by myself unless it's from ppl I trust irl :02_learn:
