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

I think it's been as prevalent but a lot of study has gone into the best methods over the past century making it more potent.

only that the propaganda was following classicist art styles. now it's dystopian "corporate art". even the soviet realist stuff manages to invoke positive feelings.

@bonifartius @thatguyoverthere I'm thinking it always follows whatever happens to be a thing, and the "thing" seems to be cyclical too. When you look at history, after every "renesans" period people just have it too good and they slip into decadence. In art, culture, education, etc. We just happen to be in a period of decadence. Don't worry. A major war and measure of misery will fix it

@ThatCrazyDude @thatguyoverthere
yeah, the weak men create hard times meme probably is right :) i always kind of despised ultra hedonist people. nothing wrong with enjoying yourself of course. just don't over do it. i always felt that those people have replaced their soul with things money can buy. or maybe they were spiritual zombies in the first place.

i'm kinda pissed though because as soon i finally start to fix my life big time, covid bullshit and now ukraine bullshit comes around. i just want to be left alone and live a moderately simple life doing more good than ill.

@bonifartius @ThatCrazyDude @thatguyoverthere that's the thing man, they will not leave you alone. Being Libertarian isn't enough, to bring freedom we must enforce it through the power of the state.
@MK2boogaloo @bonifartius @thatguyoverthere @ThatCrazyDude Neo-Libertarians.
Libertarians want less gov interference... Neo-libs want total gov control. More redefining of terms by leftist faggots
@MK2boogaloo @thatguyoverthere @ThatCrazyDude @bonifartius Nowadays, yes. Like i said, they have changed the definition of what the libertarian stood for. Used to be all about limited gubmint
@MK2boogaloo @bonifartius @ThatCrazyDude @thatguyoverthere Regardless of your political leanings you will never be left alone. Even if you decide to become a hermit one day you'll find people knocking on your door.

You can ask, beg, and plea to be left alone, yet you will still be disturbed. And one day you'll be tired of asking.
@MK2boogaloo @bonifartius @ThatCrazyDude @thatguyoverthere >enforce it through power of state
Power of state is power of friendship.
