I was bored, so I made a post.
I’ve got a suspicion I can’t shake that there’s an astroturf campaign to make people tired of talking about this shit rather than tired of the shit itself. It’s defense to keep ideas from entering the cult.
It’s a known tactic called firehosing.
Basically you put out so much negativity in smaller batches that people barely notice the big stuff when it comes.
Or at least it makes a lot less of a splash.
Trump has used this tactic long before he was known in public. His art-of-the-deal is basically to throw feces everywhere to confuse the opponents until they walk away.
That’s how propaganda works. The goal is to make you physically hesitate to look at news when you see a fucked up headline after waking up, because your brain just knows that you’ll either function as a normal human being, or read that news and be fucked up for the entire day
It’s easier to hide behind 40 atrocities than a single incident
I don’t think so, it’d just involve Lemmy users getting a hobby that isn’t computer related
I’ll take “things that are impossible” for 1000, Alex.

No “Wish they’d fucking die already” option?
I just want that fat ass Pedo rapist Cheeto looking POS to choke to death on McDs.
Where is this setting?
In a NSFW instance, a place where you would not expect it. Piefed…
