I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I’d rather hear about things that are actually happening.
Switching to electric cars will save the planet. Not when they increase tire pollutants at higher rates and still rely on fossil fuels and fracking to charge their batteries.
Also for the US specifically that we can’t afford universal healthcare.

The Black Book of Communism counts Nazi soldiers killed on the eastern front, Soviet soldiers and civillians killed by Nazis on the eastern front, and all the hypothetical unborn children of the dead on both sides as “victims of Communism.”
Of course, all the people currently living in tent cities a few blocks from my apartment in Free America are simply homeless because they’re dumb individual people who made dumb individual choices. Don’t ask why it seems to be happening to everyone all at once though, that’s communist talk.

Does anyone still believe this? It’s been debunked so many times.

Japan’s single party state is democratic and freedom-pilled!
But yeah lol. The US throwing stones about democracy is hilariously hypocritical.
pretty funny how all the dowvotes underscore your point
not how that works
it’s exactly how that works
has propaganda elections ≠ has legitimate elections. it’s literally a one-party state genuinely cop on.
the fuck am i reading, what kinda idea bubble do you live in bro.

Not arguing, just an observation / reaction. I’ve learned that it usually does little good to discuss evidence and reason with people who hold extreme beliefs. The information is out there and available, but most of the time just discarded because it doesnt fit into their narrative. I wish you the best of luck with your propaganda beliefs.

the Hitler was an atheist seems pretty popular, also that Einstein was religious.
A KGB spy and a CIA agent meet up in a bar for a friendly drink.
“I have to admit, I’m always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up,” the CIA agent says.
“Thank you,” the KGB says. “We do our best but truly, it’s nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them.”
The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. “Thank you friend, but you must be confused… There’s no propaganda in America.”

That sodium is the leading reason for blood pressure and heart disease. Evidence has been shaky at best, and at worst it’s a cause among many.
“Owning a car gives you freedom” is a big one considering how expensive they are and that most people just use them to sit in traffic jams on their commute 90%+ of the time they are using them.
And depending on your car make, model, and year, there is constant surveillance/data collecting negating the owners “freedom”.
It is context dependent.
Owning a car does give you freedom in rural settings where mass transit never existed before it was bought out and run into the ground by automotive companies. They were even fairly cheap for decades if you bought them used!
But yes, if you live and work somewhere with traffic jams then owning one instead of using and pushing for more mass transit is the opposite of freedom.
I’m not even in a rural setting and the only way to get my dogs to the vet is via car. Getting a taxi to drive there is difficult when one of your dogs starts vomiting after the second turn.
That and getting to by family in a rural setting. 2 hours by car vs up to 8 by train. With two dogs. That won’t happen 😐
Besides that I don’t really need a car.
As part of a couple that just got knocked down to one vehicle instead of two, due to a wreck, I wholly disagree with your statement. Take a kid to friends house? Lol. Nope. Pick up a loaf of bread or grocery store? Negative. Park for a walk? Sorry. Get to work? Better start walking down the highway.
Park for a walk
Can’t you…just walk?
Not if the American automotive industry has anything to say about it. The whole country has been built around making walking impossible or too dangerous to attempt, just to maximise car sales at the expense of citizens’ freedoms.
I don’t doubt it, I just don’t understand it.
You don’t have to walk on the roads. Is there no grass or dirt nearby to walk on?
In this case the lie has been repeated so much and so loud that entire cities have been designed according to it.
Your whole environment is designed that way because cars need so much space. If you lived in a walkable European city all of that wouldn’t be a problem.
Mind giving an example of such a city? Not like I’d be able to move now, but one never knows.
Not European, but most Japanese and Korean cities are very walkable. With trains or busses, it can occasionally be easier to get around than by car
Just watch the YouTube channel Not Just Bikes. He not only shows you examples of such cities, but goes into great detail explaining why their design works—and what flaws they have.
If my grandma had wheels she’d be a wagon.
Climate change. Only recently people became so vocal about this and everyone began repeting climate change. Fortunately at least Greta Thunberg was arrested for invading oil platform
Where have you been this last few years? Do you live on another planet? Are you really so out of touch with reality? I hope at least you have an economic interest in this, because otherwise you are really pathetic.
Recently, eh?
You consider the 1800’s recent? Because there were news articles reporting on the issue back then.
Here’s an article from 1896 for you to read over, provided you care about learning how you’re wrong.
Maybe because it started affecting them?
No, it’s because she’s not a minor anymore, so she can be arrested for spreading such a hoax and invading private property. You see, free speech doesn’t guaratee one to spread false information and misinforming people worldwide while being funded by the EV industry. If she continues with that, she will likely rot in jail along with her followers.
Lolwut?
You can’t be serious.
“we are free”
There is no war in Ba Sing Se.
USA Civil War: It was only the Southern states that were racist.
USA Civil War: The Confederacy was “only fighting for its way of life”. With the hope that most USA’ians will assume that “its way of life” was anything but slavery.
“We fought for state’s rights!”
“State’s rights to do what?”
“……”
Not every “way of life” needs to exist.
Wow, this thread is tankies sucking each other’s cock. Pretty funny shit.
Here’s one that I saw on Facebook just yesterday: People getting upset and kicking up a fuss about the installation of a protected bike lane on a street, claiming that it causes traffic congestion and blocks emergency vehicles. This is truly a triumph of brainwashing or motivated reasoning. The pictures clearly show cars causing the congestion, and it’s the carswhich would block the emergency vehicles. It’s just that cars are so normalized and internalized that people can ignore the evidence provided by their own eyes, with the help of self-told lies about how another lane would fix congestion.
The US military is there to protect their country’s “Freedom”
98% of everything that Americans especially but the people of white countries in general have heard about North Korea is false, and the general ethos of being some kind of psychotic tin-pot dictatorship with no grip on reality is purely an American invention (with the help of the sellouts and agents in the South). There is plenty to criticize the DPRK for – even including stereotypical lines about the less-social elements of its Confucian heritage coloring state ideology all the way back to Kim Il-Sung – but the image that most “westerners” have in their heads is fundamentally a fabrication, despite how confident they are in it.
