Watch this...

Radio Free Asia: "did you know in North Korea they eat babies?"

Me: "I don't believe that."

Radio Free Asia: "WHAT?!?!? How did you do that???"

See. And I'm just a dumbass who does nothing but smoke weed and watch pirated b-horror movies. Whats everyone else's fucking excuse?

People fall for this shit because they want to, not because the state department has magical brainwashing powers. Propaganda doesn't mean people don't have fucking agency.

lol, I really hate hexbear so much sometimes, like its genuinely such a gross and dehumanizing take to compare stealing bread to supporting genocide. or or all humans are robots who dont have free will so you cant hold anyone accountable for anything ever, thats like the definition of dehumanizing. im actually blocking so many people in this comment section its insane.

It’s retroactive justification for the atrocity propaganda they swallowed because it benefitted their psyche at the time. Rather than reflecting on their position, they claim “material conditions” and leave it at that, the enlightened rebels who have broken free of the brainwashed masses

like this is the post where i see how many people are actual comrades, like i really dont think im over reacting, ive lost so much respect for people. if you dont believe in free will then why are you here? if you think the people who support my oppression are my moral equivalent how are you my comrade? frankly everyone is just doing the same thing! they are just regurgitating whatever makes them feel good. and dont get me started on the people crying about the "social consequences" of not being a genocidal murderer. i guess german nazi citizens were all the moral equals of the people the killed. awesome. thank you hexbear, i know none of these people actually believe what they are saying, they cant they would have to be monsters, they are just incapable of seeing people in the same position as them as anything but victims, because maybe that means they did something morally wrong in the past and THAT CANT BE!
