Sounds like its time for me to make another thread. I will do one on this soon. Thanks for the idea.


Dude, if you are over 30 and male then you are an absolute imbecile.

Peace out.

What is that a hipster reference? Wrong again. I always pictured you being female though because you never have anything clever to counter with. You anger easily and throw out short short temper tantrum like responses. Its either that or a beta male.

Now what he DID perhaps fail to recognize re human psychology is this: After the spirit of the revolution subsides no one is going to want to be a brain surgeon for the same financial compensation as gets the night watchman.

Exactly.

No. I'm calling you a basement dwelling social justice warrior. I don't need to craft, nor do you warrant anything above vitriolic statements.

Ah another cliche angry internet response when you dont like what someone has to say you throw out that they must live in their mothers basement. Very stereotypical of the last 5 years, but not used as much because of how cliche it has become. Therefore eliminating the strength of the venom. No i am completely indepedent thank you. But thanks for another example of how simple minded you are.

Would love to see you provide direct quotes and examples of this. Discussing the whole truths of history does not equal social justice. On the contrary, i can be pro Imperialist by everything i mentioned while at the same time just showing what a dumb arse you are for pretending it is something that it is not. Except as a fight for power and control of resources.

Feigned eloquence, the neckbeard's natural defense. Much like your feigned ignorance of Marx, it's a crock of shite. It's not on me to disprove the moronic college freshman philosophy major drivel you constantly spew on here. Hurr the U.S. is evil because some limp dick professor told me that college.

I am kind of glad propaganda isn't as effective as it used to be.


Oh, it is. Just far more subtle.

Classic red scare tactics. Ironic for this thread if not perfect.

I mean back in the day this is probably one of the only forms of media out there.

I also think it's funny that this worked for the British:

Leftist political correctness has played a huge role in what can not be "said" in most forums now days. Literally no one can be "attacked" in the media any more, so today's propaganda is restricted to smaller forums. Fox News/O'Reilly/Kelly get a lot of criticism from the left, but for the most part, their views are restricted to Fox channels. And its viewers are free to watch or not. It's tv. However, Al Sharpton, a paid newtwork analyst, takes his venom to the streets across the country, he's putting his form of propaganda out there for general consumption. You can't stand O'Reilly? Don't watch his show/network. You can't stand Sharpton? His public persona is shown all over the country on most of the networks.

The greatest propaganda achievements in the 20th century were convincing Americans (twice) that Germany would somehow invade the U.S.

You see the same thing with Iran, Iraq, etc. Not a chance in hell any of the M.E. nations are a "threat to national security" in the U.S.

Too many Americans have died for conflicts that have had zero to do with American freedom or security.

It's tough to have propaganda against an enemy our leadership will not admit exists.

Well, except for the whole free flow of the most vital substance for our economy - cheap oil. Yeah, terrorist/anti-Western groups control of areas that produce oil is no threat to American security.
