    “Having legs” was always the most basic tool of bicyclist propaganda. If you have no legs, you can’t be fed bicyclist propaganda. The most steadfast anti-biker I knew in my childhood was a corn snake I found in my backyard. Bicycle propaganda did not reach him.

    Weren’t attitudes like this literally why Lenin thought that Communism had to be forced on a society for a few generations for the least educated to “understand” Communism? Since there was no breaking through their preconceived notions? Because there’s literally no reaching these people?

    Yes…it’s a dumb comment…but it’s kind of interesting too. Are we seeing the rise of the Right in the US because short form video became popular?

      Short answer: No.

      Long answer: no, but there is some correlation between the average attention span dropping, people enjoying short form videos, and a lack of a mind for nuance which is exploited by right wing propagandists and populists, causing a rise in right wing or even far right authoritarian politicians being elected across the world. I’m not nearly educated enough in the field to make any causation claims though (edit: except the one about propaganda exploiting a lack of nuance which causes those far right politicians to be elected, that one doesn’t need a whole lot of expertise to confirm).
      Also the US has always been a country of two conservative parties, which could have something to do with more people being susceptible to right wing propaganda

      This is on lemmy.ml, which is federated with lemmygrad.

      Also, not a dude, not everyone on the internet is a guy, especially in communist spaces.

        Oh right the dev’s instance hadn’t blocked them (because they support lemmygrad).

        Well my instance did defed from lemmygrad. So this is still end running around everyone else’s defederation. And still is not a meme.
