@HeavenlyPossum There are millions of people who want children but can't conceive them. There are millions of people who don't want their children but can't get rid of them. All these people are unhappy, but stupid boys infected with statist #propaganda hate #Rothbard for his proposals to make people, especially children, less unhappy. @RD4Anarchy
@HeavenlyPossum Ex-Marxist #Mussolini and his Italian fascist movement "had earned eternal merit" for saving #Italy from the #Bolsheviks. That is merit indeed. But #Mises emphasized that #Fascism uses violence as a means to archive its ends, and that is bad. So only little boys infected with socialist #propaganda can blame Mises for his words. @RD4Anarchy

“In the 1930s the BBC Appeased and Even Attempted to Justify the Nazi Regime’s Anti-Semitism – Today It Loves Israel and Zionism - Has Anything Changed?”
For nearly 50 years #BigOil slow-walked the world to disaster by lying about the danger of Climate Change & creating denial/doubt about the science & solutions. Our latest show digs in to a new report about how they're STILL doing it to our children in our schools
Donald Trump's dismantling of Voice of America could lead to dominance of anti-American propaganda, director says.
@CBSNews reports: "VOA reports news about the U.S. in nearly 50 languages — with much of its focus trained on countries that lack a free press."
Automated ‘Pravda’ #Propaganda Network Retooled To Embed Pro-Russian Narratives Surreptitiously In Popular #Chatbots - https://www.techdirt.com/2025/03/17/automated-pravda-propaganda-network-retooled-to-embed-pro-russian-narratives-surreptitiously-in-popular-chatbots/ a subtle but serious problem; latest by me fwiw...
“…these films…are meant to draw you in to a politics of us and them, to a world of lying and hatred… -- but only with your assent.”

“The messaging was obviously coordinated in advance. … The result is propaganda film worthy of the 1930s, in which the Leader determines what is true and what is false and who is human and who is not…”

Parece que #Alemania va con todo contra la participación ciudadana
Primero despertamos de la supuesta fantasía del "jardín europeo" vendida por Borrell al presenciar con horror la política impregnada de #racismo y #xenofobia que se aplica en las "fronteras"
Después fue la #Censura descarada al prohibir #medios de #propaganda no adeptos a la línea de #Europa
Y llego un #sionismo agazapado en el trato que da el país germano al tema del #Genocidio en #Gaza
Ahora me entero que...
On Feb 7th, #Trump sacked the
head of #NARA, the agency that maintains the ofcl texts of the nation’s laws, & whose motto is “the written word endures.”
>110k govt pages have gone dark in a #purge that one scientist likened to a “#DigitalBookBurning,” & which has proved as frightening in its imprecision as in its malice.
@w7voa about the sad #VOA Situation:
„I am speaking here in my personal capacity and not as a representative of any agency or organization, past, present or future…
My colleagues and our broadcasts, devoted to telling America’s story to the world — honestly, fairly and with an unwavering commitment to the truth, are being silenced this weekend. The de facto destruction of the Voice of America — is nothing less than a betrayal of the ideals that gave birth to the institution and made it relevant throughout World War II, the Cold War and in the decades after the collapse of the Berlin Wall.“

Great. In a time where people don’t fact-check and let their AIs do the thinking, Russia started to poison LLMs with Russian propaganda.

"Nonpolitical", a new synonym for reactionary and fascist bullshit propaganda, disinformation, and blatant lies mixed with bad jokes:
"- We found 320 online shows — 191 right-leaning and 129 left-leaning — that were active in 2024 and covered news and politics and/or had related guests. These shows had at least 584.6 million total followers and subscribers.
- We found substantial asymmetry in total following across platforms: Right-leaning online shows had at least 480.6 million total followers and subscribers — nearly five times as many as left-leaning.
- Across platforms — YouTube, Rumble, Twitch, Kick, Spotify, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok — right-leaning online shows accounted for roughly 82% of the total following of the online shows we assessed.
- Comparatively, left-leaning online shows had nearly 104 million followers and subscribers across the eight platforms — nearly five times less.
- Nine out of the 10 online shows with the largest followings across platforms were right-leaning, with a total following of more than 197 million. The only left-leaning show among the top 10 was What Now? with Trevor Noah, which had 21.1 million total followers and subscribers across platforms.
- Our analysis — which looked entirely at shows with an ideological bent — found over a third self-identify as nonpolitical, even though 72% of those shows were determined to be right-leaning. Instead, these shows describe themselves as comedy, entertainment, sports, or put themselves in other supposedly nonpolitical categories.
- Out of 320 online shows, right-leaning programs categorized as comedy — 15 shows in all — had 117.5 million followers and subscribers, or 20% of the total following of all programs we assessed. This category included The Joe Rogan Experience, This Past Weekend with Theo Von, and Full Send Podcast."

@stefan Albert #Einstein was a great physicist, but he wasn't an economist. Maybe you should read Ludwig von Mises' books on why not #socialism. You can also read/listen to Murray Rothbard on the subject. The books are free. https://mises.org/library/book/socialism-economic-and-sociological-analysis #mises #capitalism #propaganda #rothbard
Some #Republicans have accused #VOA & other publicly-funded #media outlets of being biased against *conservatives* [liars, criminals & extremists]. Last month, billionaire #ElonMusk, who is spearheading #Trump's government *downsizing* [destruction] effort, called for VOA & #RadioFreeEurope / #RadioLiberty to be shut down in a post to social media.
The Paris-based #ReportersWithoutBorders also blasted the move, w/its director general, Thibaut Bruttin, saying that it "threatens press freedom worldwide & negates 80 years of American history in supporting a free flow of #information."
The president of the #NationalPressClub in Washington, Mike Balsamo, released a statement on social media objecting to the moves at #VOA.
"For decades, #VoiceOfAmerica has delivered fact-based, independent #journalism to audiences worldwide, often in places where press freedom does not exist," Balsamo said.
The decision, he said, "undermines America's commitment to a free & independent press."
On its website, #RadioFreeEurope / #RadioLiberty notes that it has been declared an "undesirable organization" by the Russian govt & warns readers in #Russia & Russia-occupied #Ukraine that they could "face fines or imprisonment for sharing, liking, commenting on, or saving our content, or for contacting us."
The #USAGM also terminated funding for #RadioFreeEurope / #RadioLiberty, which broadcasts to countries in #EasternEurope, including #Russia & #Ukraine, as well as for #RadioFreeAsia, which broadcasts to #China & #NorthKorea, acc/to letters seen by Reuters.
