No one seriously talks about brainwashing, it's always been a cognitive shortcut for not actually understanding why people believe what they believe.

Propaganda works, and socially reinforced propaganda works better, but there's no magic technique to control your thoughts.

I thought it was the excuse for why American troops were admitting to all of these war cimes they committed in Korea

The balls you have to type this with a straight face and in good faith to boot. Didn't you tacitly allow (as in actually posted in them after knowing they exist to note how people were complaining about them) not one buy two "ironic" Holodomor denial threads in a sub forum you moderate? I assume that ironic jokes about 6 million people dying, as long as it's in the abstract, not specifically celebrated, is a-ok? Unbelievable.



Upgrade posted:

as someone who has had relatives die in the holocaust yes I think a having a joke thread about a genocide is impactful and harmful, and considering that the validity (and existence) of the genocide is being used as a way to cause drama on sa, I do think it’s current, too. but because you’ve rationalized it away (if you don’t like it don’t read it) I guess it’s ok. just because it isn’t the same as a car crash video where someone does doesn’t suddenly make it ok. more than one thing can be bad at the same time!

Unlike the the bread the Ukrainians had, which was none because the holodomor happened.
