Propaganda works as a motherfucker, it did 80 years ago, it did 800 years ago, it did 8000 years ago and it is fucking AI weaponized today.
You want communism? Leave FOX on in your home at all times, you may not turn it off, you can lower the volume somewhat but it's still on as you sleep, and if you disable it the dark men come and enable it again while you're at work, and leave you with a little reminder and write your name in a little black leather bound notebook and tell your neighbors to report any suspicious behavior or they might be next up for a visit.
To someone who has experience, the GOP is Stalinism in disguise. They don't hate communists, they hate that they don't get to be the oppressors. They are 100% the same shit.
There is zero correlation between technical acuity and moral maturity.
Being good at doing something does not make you a moral person. It's easy to get it wrong because society actually, consciously and ubiquitly promotes and reinforces the equivalence.
"We have dug this hole for ourselves so deep we can't get out of it. At this point our chances are better if we keep digging straight down, it has to bottom out somewhere, right?"
It's better when it's the government with guns against criminals, randos, and children with guns.
More guns is always the solution. If it only causes more violence and bloodshed like a tribal civil war in the jungle then you clearly did not get enough guns.
Plus, they're FUN! People forget that it's FUN to shoot guns. Isn't that worth a dysfunctional society crippled by violence and murder?
But what about the Holocaust Museum? And that Hitler book? Should we ban them too?
Edit: 14 year old Lemmings with a single brain cell- "No, we should only ban the evil things! The solution is so obvious, and has not been discussed before in history."
