Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

putin is funny guy, he had to have known that this would make both democrats and republicans seethe.

[–] rando895@lemmygrad.ml 28 points 8 months ago

It's like the easiest thing he could do to accelerate the end of the American empire.

It's crazy how fragile capitalism makes .... Well everything

[–] Eris235@hexbear.net 27 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Pretty sure Putin doesn't care who wins, both are terrible for the US. But you're right that this is absolutely the right thing for him to say to do some pot stirring

Classic move from the Ruzzian Dysinfomystizia Playbook and the democrats are falling for it so easily lol

I remember reading that the supposed election tampering of Russia was mostly just pot stirring, basically just elevating contradictory and emflamatory narratives on both sides using trolls and bots.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 29 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Yea the "Russian interference" would be taken a lot less seriously if people were honest and called it what it was.

Posting stupid racist Facebook memes was enough to convince enough Americans to make a difference to vote for Trump.

To this day liberals insist every racist dumbass is a Russian troll instead of accepting the fact 40% of the country are violent fascists.

[–] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)

40% of the country are violent fascists

Being optimistic:

  • Only 50% of eligible people vote
  • 50% of them vote Republican
  • I'd say about 80% of Republicans will enthusiastically support anything the GOP does

That's the maximum size of the population that could be considered violent fascists, so even if they all are invested enough to actually do something violent (they won't be), that's still "just" 20% of the voting-eligible population.

The real strength of fascists comes if they can capture the state and use its legitimacy to get their more passive supporters (and libs) to go along with state violence, or at least not violently oppose it.

The U.S. has long applied this towards the outside world (imperialism), but the frontier is getting closer and closer to home.

Maximum suffering against the apolitical. How dare they be predisposed to fascism by not thing about politics.

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 4 points 8 months ago

40%

The other 50% are impotent fascists

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 2 points 8 months ago

I read that most of the election interference was actually done by Israeli agents lol. There was a piece about it last year or the year before and it detailed Trump’s advisors having secret meetings with Israelis and coming out with new dirt on Hillary.
