Ask a liberal about the war in Ukraine or actually existing socialism and you'll quickly find out it isn't limited to conservatives. 😒
I, too, engage in whataboutism when a question makes me uncomfortable.
Just to provide some context to the mind of the person you responded to they supports the appointment of Tusli Gabbard.
I support defunding USAID too - they do a small amount of good philanthropic work as a cover to maintain public support, but for the most part it's a foreign policy operation dedicated to undermining US enemies and propping up US allies.
Death to America 😘
Hardly. I'm just pointing out y'all are as propagandized as conservatives. You're just susceptible to different lies.
The Western mind is fundamentally broken.
Trump already won, comrade! There is no need to continue spreading misinformation on the Internet: your mission was successful.
Go collect your loaf of victory bread, you've earned it!
Exhibit A 👆
I'm trans. He's gonna fucking kill me.
You're not immune to propaganda
No shit, I was a liberal once. I've had to read so many fucking books unlearning a lot of it and actually basing my socialism in historical materialism instead of vibes. I'm sure I still have Western brainworms.
Even now, you're not immune to propaganda.
Okay?
There's a difference between being immune to propaganda and just not believing everything I hear on MSNBC or Fox.
We can still think!
EDIT What even is your point? My point was the conservatives aren't uniquely susceptible to lies and used liberals as another example of people susceptible to lies. Did you think I was trying to say that I'm a sooper speshul girl and I alone am immune to lies? Come on. 🙄
Your comments sounds like only non-socialists fall for lies.
I definitely didn't think Russia was going to invade Ukraine! I fell for that one and I probably would again, and I recognize that.
Scientific socialists should be aware of their biases and try to control for them, not just assume our superior political theories make us immune to being tricked.
This article just pisses me off because it frames conservatives as uniquely stupid, which is actually just liberal propaganda. That's why I used liberals to make an example.
Hey, i really appreciate that you acknowledge that. I also didnt think hed to that, i thought him more strategically minded.
I just loathe fellow comrades pretending that they are somehow superior beings for being socialist. Or falling for the propaganda of either anarchist socialists or state communists, believing that a regime cannot do anything wrong just because they adhere to a certain ideology. I too fall for this trap.
