  • Yeah, except that’s not what the article says at all, which gives away the fact that you’re going in with a narrative that you refuse to be questioned on.

    The article says that Nazis could very well exist, but they don’t have any significant power. Which you’d think invading an entire country to get at a handful of alleged Nazis might be a bit overkill, since there’s zero evidence that the entire country is just overrun with Nazis.

    Again, they’re using the same argument Israel is: everyone in this territory is (insert code word for evil here) and we must be allowed to kill them. But you think it’s ok when Russia does that.





  • Rich people figured out that if you buy a news outlet and just have them repeat a lie over and over and over and over it just becomes a fact that everyone knows.

    From there you have your politicians run on fixing the problem you lied about existing and now everyone is convinced that not only is the problem real, but only the right wingers can fix it.

    Bonus: when your chosen politicians win, you can have your media outlet lie about the problem being fixed to give people a warm fuzzy to reinforce voting this way.



  • I remember when big phones used to be called “phablets” and that was considered a bad thing that only certain power user types would want…

    And then the same marketing that hit cars came to phones when companies realized that “bigger than the last model” was an easy way to have a number that they could point to that got bigger to imply this one was somehow better. That and human brains are wired to like bright colors so store displays of PHONE WITH BIG BRIGHT COLOR SCREEN made people want it despite it being objectively less easy to use than a more reasonably sized device.
