Are we talking propaganda?!

I know this steps outside the Freeper/FOX Poster scope of the thread, but it fits with the conversation.

When all this stuff came down about loan forgiveness, I was busy taking simple cellphone screenshots FOX's front page. It was ludicrous.

This was actually animated, with the cash falling like an old gif. I've got to admit, they are capturing the vibe of the uncle who yells, "IT'S A THIRTY THOUSAND BILLION HANDOUT TO PEOPLE WHO WEAR ROBES AND DRINK AVOCADO TOAST COFFEE WHILE TALKING ABOUT PRONOUNS!!!"



Right below it, we start to learn how to NOT be some sniveling LIEberal looking for a handout - Get a budget! gently caress me, that's all I had to do when I graduated with a degree in philosophy and history in 2006 with about $75k in school loan debt? Wow, I wish I knew that back then. I'm sure the less than $30k I was making at a 55+ hour a week job after graduation could have been turned into paid off loans with some good old elbow grease and a spreadsheet!

Oh I should have started a business with all that free time!



Let's hear about this Mom who was one missed paycheck away from homelessness who managed to pay off $40k in debt. She just pulled herself up by her bootstraps and lived on the edge of financial disaster for years and years and years, like someone should if they go taking out loans for fancy book-learning.

It's been unreal seeing the bipartisanship of our elected leaders getting angry about their constituents being helped by government policy. The decades long right wing project, 100% aided by neoliberals, of stripping out pretty much every government function such that they can enrich the already wealthy has been a resounding success. Everyone needs to be indebted, scared, and have learned helplessness drilled into them endlessly for modern society to continue on.

If you want to drill down into what line of thinking freepers will parrot without question you're better off watching what happens on breitbart, imo, since they share and discuss what's going on there far more than junk on fox's front page.

The far right is all about money, money, and more money. It's baked into their religion of Prosperity Gospel, which I grew up having to sit through every Wednesday and Sunday. They deserve every break in the book, because they are hard working and THE LORD GOD deems their efforts worthy of such.

He’s bypassing Congress to “forgive” student loans and add half a tril to the already over-burdened budget, and that is not an outright violation of the Constitution?

He tucks tail and runs out on Afghan friends, NATO allies and US citizens, leaving billions of high-end toys in the hands of the Taliban, allows 13 brave soldiers to be murdered, along with hundreds of Afghans, then does a retaliation strike against a non-combatant with ten kids in a car, and this doesn’t outright harm US standing abroad?

Shortages in everything from baby formula to exercise machines, not to mention gasoline, and that’s not a menace to Americans’ way of life?

Because he doesn't actually know what he's saying. It's just tough sounding words he knows.

background for others: One of the latest right wing talking points is about how the IRS is getting more funding and that includes some new guns for their Criminal Investigation police unit. Of course what this really means is that all the money is being spent arming every member of the IRS who, instead of doing the typical administrative paperwork type stuff they've done in the past, will now be formed into SWAT like teams and used solely to storm the homes of conservatives and shoot them. So MAGA types need to be ready to fight back. No, this is in no way a demented wet dream in which conservatives get to pretend to be action heroes like they always knew they were meant to be. Don't be silly. It's a 100% real thing that is going to happen.

OwlFancier
Aug 22, 2013

Hollow point ammunition is designed to splay open on contact with a solid surface, which makes it horrifically lethal against people because it causes it to gouge a much larger path through the body. But upon contact with a surface that is not flesh and blood, it is more likely to simply collapse without punching through it, so it is generally ineffective against even basic body armour.

It has niche uses, in that it also doesn't go through walls (or people) and hit bystanders two buildings away, but it is generally banned for use in a military context because of how lethal it is to anyone not wearing protection. The other main application would be hunting where the intent is to kill things as fast as possible.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
Basically a normal bullet is more like a needle, in that it can pierce through things like armor or walls, but only leaves a relatively small hole where it passes through. While a hollow-point is more like a hammer, in that it transfers more force to what it hits, but that force is spread out over a larger area so it can't penetrate as far.

Maybe that's a terrible analogy, I dunno.

What Biden and his regime is hoping, is that SOMEONE who supports Trump was watching what that moron said last night and says to themselves “You think Im a fascist, I’ll show you fascist” and attacks a Democrat and that Democrat will be the martyr..that is what they are hoping for, it takes ONE nut out there, to try something and that is what the Biden cronies are hoping and praying for..DONT TAKE THE BAIT..just VOTE in November, thats it

Tend to agree. Antifa activity will definitely increase. The Labor Day parade where Biden is supposed to attend could be the site of a staged incident. There are still people who believe that the Oklahoma City bombing was a deliberate act by the Clinton Administration to destroy the credibility of his very troublesome critics. Don’t put it beyond the Biden cabal to do something that in their mind will change the political dynamic.

I’m with you, I believe there will be some STAGED incident to legitimize last night’s Call to War.

The hard questions are:

1. What will it be ?
2. Where will it be ?
3. When will it be ?
4. How many Innocent Americans will needlessly be murdered during this incident to assure legitimacy ?

That and similar acts will almost undoubtedly happen soon.wash the past

The mysterious culprits will either be framed and or will be “in the wind” and never caught.

So many shootings in the past five years resulted in someone’s Facebook and Twitter with nothing on them until the day before the crime when the person had a MAGA hat and a hunting rifle and lots of pro-Trump MAGA posts that suddenly were posted after a couple of days for the FBI to
cleanse scour the past to pristine emptiness.

Only one that I know of timothy mcveigh. Though a militia group turned him in and after that he got help from the FBI and Islamic Terrorist. Yeah it's rare tough lose cannon do exist though they clearly encourage them.

I agree—they will Do anything to keep power and wealth and make sure the American people do not learn of their corruption. It sickens me to say it but I think they will win. With Media behind them they can do ANYTHING! Look at Hillary Clinton? I hope I am wrong. I hope that real change can come with November election but, I have lost hope. The Red Wave is a PR stunt only. A RINO Wave is no wave at all. WE pinned our hope on Trump—then didn’t support him when he was crucified in the Media, Democrat Party, Anti-Trumpers, etc. We wanted to be entertained by Trump, go to his rallies, but not do the hard work. I blame myself as well. I never wore my Trump shirt in public out of fear of being beaten up. I deserve Biden and tyranny for being a coward.

As others have said, 'think this is just(another faux)justification for indicting Trump.

We have political prisoners, a coup d'état'd President(and his supporters) being harassed, threatened by an opposition party who currently has the reins of power, and federal agencies apparently all-in on their(dem/media)fascist tactics.

Spooky times, never thought I'd see them in my lifetime, but the signs have been there for quite some time.

Biden is just a demented/corrupt/programmed puppet...for the REAL power-brokers.

Politically Biden has a choice...HE could pardon the Jan. 6 participants and the media would gush over his compassion and many wishy-washy independents would go his way OR go full iron fist on his political/ideological enemies.

So far, we can CLEARLY see the path he(or his handlers)have taken...provoke an action ...to further put the boot down.

If they were to do a staged or false flag thing, it would be something that effects more people, less local and gives them more control.

An abortion clinic is local and the law enforcement involved in the investigation would be local. It’s not a Federal crime.

“Ever used a keyword search before?”

What keyword should they use to find the debunk article?

I tried debunk and found White Privilege debunk, Facebook plans to flag and debunk, Hydroxychloroquine debunked, Flat earth etc etc. I did not see an article debunking Russia buying weapons from North Korea.

I tried Russia and did not find an article debunking.

I also tried North Korea with no luck.

Do you have a link to that debunking article?

It sounds like the Russia site couldn’t handle the DDOS attacks and dropped them for that not for content reasons.

Meanwhile there’s active child porn on twitter and they’re allowed to keep operating.

Why isn't the whole democratic party banned from the internet and TV and radio and all media?

If your website is optimized, you don’t need a CDN. All of my sites score over 90 in google’s pagespeed or gtmetrix speed and optimization tests.

Any good web host can handle a DDoS attack.

Have a look at all the Big Tech Kiwi Farms uses. [url]https://builtwith.com/?https://kiwifarms.net/[/url]

They use Cloudflare hosting, CDN, DNS, SSL.

That’s true, Cloudfare is a leftist org from San Fran, but it is one of the biggest of its type. Multi-billion company.

They then went to Russian DDoS-Guard which deplatformed them and that’s where it is now. There’s TOR access, but who knows how long that’ll last.

That has been tried many times before. This is not a social platform, it is a private website, and has it's own servers.
In the past 2 decades, there were websites that were created specifically to take down this website; they were unsuccessful (including the DDOS attacks).

Of course l are many troll and malcontents here that would be better off, and more in their safe space, at DU...
