Superfan test group (bunch of 40 year old redditors): I don't think this is gonna play well with most of us fans dawg

We're parktuah civilization guys, of course we jump on that thing!

Obama had connections to the CIA before being president anyway, it was all a show. They didn't show him anything he didn't already know is my top guess.

Everybody responsible for this should be sent to a CIA blacksite and never heard of again.

I thought it was something that was only true during the colonialism era

About that...

There's that old story where an old man is walking down the beach after a storm. The storm has washed up thousands of starfish who are stranded now. The man sees a little girl throwing starfish back in to the ocean. He says "Why are you bothering, you can't save all of them." and without looking up the girl says "I can save this one" and hucks another starfish in to the surf. The man thinks about that for a second and then joins the girl in hurling starfish.

This is beautiful comrade. I seriously can't get the thought of a liberal telling me this story then asking me to vote for Kamala L3Harris out of my head though.

To the point though, you're completely right. I think a huge weakness that the left has is simply not being visible and not having much to show people in terms of what our ideals actually mean when put into practice. In an ideal world without propaganda, we would point to China, Cuba, Burkina Fasso, etc and say that the advances those countries made to advance the position of their poor rural working classes was only possible under socialism. In America, this kind of mutual aid is probably the most realistic implementation of really existing socialist principles for the next couple of decades.

The effort you put in is worth it. I agitate a lot IRL, and I get a lot of flack for it obviously, but I've had a random guy tell me he left the defense company he worked at because of some information I posted. I've had people ask me to review lists of companies they were applying for to see if there were any companies that were developing products for the genocide. I've had another few randoms tell me that they've changed their mind about a lot of things because of it. If that's just the people that explicitly reach out, just imagine how many people are changing their actions because they see a commie telling them that a better world is possible and how to contribute to it? We have enormous power to use to change the world positively just by talking with people and changing their minds, because liberalism and fascism are so fragile that they fall apart under closer inspection: all people need is a little push to see how incoherent bourgeois ideology is.

I don't think that really makes sense practically, though. Eastward settlement was doomed to fail because the Germans simply were not going to be able to coerce enough people to build the kind of war effort they would've needed to defeat the USSR. The only reason they departed on the endeavor was that they really did believe their own propaganda.

Is there something unique about Hitler's rise to power that would've muted out the pragmatic voices in the room of the German state, as opposed to how the US kept its ruling ideology separate from the ideological line pushed upon the settler masses until recently?

You didn't look up the stats, look them up please. Compare wealth inequality in the USSR to wealth inequality in the US: the opposite is true, in the US the statement "everyone was poor except for the owners of the country" is twice as accurate as it ever could be about the USSR.

"Israel has hypnotized the world. May Allah help the people to see the lies of Israel, and the United States"

She's not actually gonna pass that, though. Not to mention that a decisive American economic crash right now would almost definitely mean Israel would have to chill tf out and Ukraine would finally come to the negotiating table.

The tradition has been lost.

Of course there's local subcultures still, the only places where local subcultures were completely supplanted by online standardized youth culture are white suburbs that didn't have culture to begin with.

Here's a hiccup in that thesis: why is the decay happening now, and not before, when the propaganda was comparably pervasive? Is there a reason that the cross contamination from ideology for the masses into the halls of power didn't happen in the Cold War (until the later stages), the Western Expansion, etc? Why did it happen very fast in Nazi Germany but slowly in other settler projects?

Nick Mullen would become too powerful.

You're completely correct in a moral sense, but the pitfall of this way of thinking is that you can't be certain that if you go all-in on wiping out the oppressors that you'll be successful. That's why it's still necessary to be measured and strategic. Probably the best example is China: patient to a fault and always making plans decades ahead, and they never commit to a war because they aren't certain they'd win. That doesn't mean they don't take their long term goal seriously (the opposite, really) but it comes at the expense of all of the people they could be helping in the short and medium term that weren't originally factored into the plan.

But yes, you're right, at the end the anti-imperialists don't have a choice, and there will have to come a time where an existential threat has to be eradicated for good, when negotiation and tit for tat stop being enough.
