aka the sole reason why we can learn that our leaders are baby fucking/eating/killing monsters and every just collectively shrugs and pretends that they don’t see it like it’s a homeless person asking for money.

also: the propaganda does more heavy lifting. we’re at a stage now that we help spread this propaganda to each other instead of the gov’t doing it themselves; we’re doing that work for free and that’s funny considering how many are struggling to make ends meet. lol

tiktok feels the same way to me

the emails in the epstein files made it clear that all forms of collectivism (including communism) were a priority for the epstein illuminati and they specifically engaged in “suppression protocols” on multiple social media platforms including reddit. the epstein files also prove that they’re willing to engage with and promote social media platforms that are ideologically aligned with their goals like the did with 4chan. those two established facts combined with chomsky’s conclusions and piefed’s relatively very sudden growth and political disposition are the evidence that support my assertion.

and globally speaking: “chinamaxxing” does enough to show how popular communism is with those of us who are lucky enough not to be sufficiently indoctrinated by the epstein illuminati & co’s gobal efforts.

the chomsky video explains what little relationship exists between rimu and the ruling class and more than one thing can be true at the same time.

thanks for confirming that my spidey senses were right about your intentions and i struggle to understand why you keep trying bring this back us politics when the epstein files make it clear this is a global effort.

i’m also struggling to understand you insist that there must a connection between him and ruling class when both I and chomsky have explained that no direct connection to the ruling class is necessary (and in fact detrimental).

then it sounds like you’ve already made up your mind and your intent was to sealion.

the epstein files show how almost meaningless it means to be anti-trump and; unfortunately for you; i’m not part of any marxist vanguard so i didn’t keep receipts of my homework for your benefit, but i’d like to believe that i am a leftist so i will try.

in full candor: these questions are starting to feel like the same sort of sealioning that i experienced during the election, so i will provide those receipts when it’s convenient for me to do so or (better yet) you could do your own homework since rimu’s interviews are freely available on youtube (assuming that they haven’t been removed); the source code is available at its repository websites (assuming the pertinent commits haven’t also been removed); and you expand your search beyond those subreddits that you identified.

alternatively, you can find a way to subscribe to hexbear’s feed and simply stumble upon these revelations and then confirm them for yourself like i did; whether or not you chose to do this will confirm my sealioning inkling and have weight on how soon i will start to collect those homework receipts for you.

rimu’s efforts have been furthered along on reddit (like the epstein illuminati admitted to doing) and the most prominent endorsements for the fediverse on reddit now exclude the lemmyverse.

that combined with the dog whistle and with the fact that piefed explicitly bans leftists phrases and prominently leftist lemmy instances like hexbear in its source code leads to the conclusion the rimu is either a rightist or the kind of moderate that both trump and kamala harris were trying to get to vote for them.

it’s odd that you keep bringing back this pro/anti-american dichotomy when i’ve already asserted that that 1) it has little to do w united states and 2) leftism defines the fediverse (which almost completely lacking in the united states, but this is a digression).

despite his faults, chomsky already explains why plants are unnecessary (credit due to @davel@lemmy.ml for making me aware of this video).

tldr of the video is that the ruling classes further along the careers and efforts of those that are already ideologically aligned or beneficial to them. the epstein illuminati reveled in their ability to do this on a global scale in the files and used phrases like “narrative management” when discussion platforms like reddit.

whether or not it’s american doesn’t matter. piefed’s creator admited in an interview that one of the driving forces behind creating it was to control “content quality” of the fediverse.

this fact combined with w the fediverse’s undeniable leftist leaning makes it clear that this was a dog whistle along the same vein as other dog whistles like “narrative management” and “suppression protocols” that the epstein illuminati spoke about in their emails to each other with respect to reddit, 4chan and several other social media platforms.

the ones that are us-friendly are the lion’s share of the lemmyverse’s userbase and activity.

tantrums don’t help anything.

i’m building upon a parallel that @Szewek@sopuli.xyz created between the lemmyverse and geopolitics.

you keep demanding a fucking statute that says “gov’t officials may refuse,” then act like you won when you don’t see it. that’s not how this works.

kim davis literally refused, stayed in office, and precedent did jack shit to stop her. the act didn’t close that loophole. it actually affirmed anti-marriage beliefs as “reasonable” and “due respect.” you think officials won’t notice that?

you also keep pretending section 6(b) is irrelevant because it says “nonprofits.” cute. but the point isn’t that it covers officials directly—it’s that the law carves out explicit refusal rights for one group based on “sincere belief,” and there’s nothing in the text stopping courts from extending that logic to the next one. that’s not misinformation. that’s a prediction. and you still haven’t shown it’s false.

calling someone a fascist because they quoted a law correctly and drew a conclusion you don’t like isn’t an argument. it’s a tantrum and your unhinged response is proof of it. you’re so busy screaming “bullshit” that you never actually proved it’s bullshit.

so no, i wasn’t wrong and you’re still pretending the fire isn’t real because the match hasn’t been entered into evidence.

you’re doing a lot of heavy lifting to avoid admitting you were wrong.

first off, my claim wasn’t “section 6(b) applies to gov’t officials.” i said biden has given permission for officials to refuse. you read “the act itself” as my only source, but i never said that was the sole source. you filled in the blank, then called me a fascist for it. solid work.

second, this idea that pre-biden precedent “forbade” gov’t officials from refusing to certify marriages? cute. ask kim davis how that ironclad precedent worked out. she straight-up refused, kept her job, and became a folk hero. so no, it wasn’t some pristine rule you’re pretending it was.

third, you breeze right past the part where i was right about the act expanding religious refusal rights for nonprofits, then pivot like that’s irrelevant. it’s not. because the logic doesn’t stay neatly in its lane. you carve out explicit statutory protection for one group’s “sincere beliefs,” and you think gov’t officials won’t notice? states will run with it, and they already are.

so no, it wasn’t “misinformation.” it was a prediction. and you still haven’t shown it’s false—just that you don’t like the delivery.

the source is the act itself; dig deeper into it:

“Diverse beliefs about the role of gender in marriage are held by reasonable and sincere people based on decent and honorable religious or philosophical premises. Therefore, Congress affirms that such people and their diverse beliefs are due proper respect.”

– The Respect for Marriage Act (H.R. 8404) Section 2

“shall not be required to provide services, accommodations, advantages, facilities, goods, or privileges for the solemnization or celebration of a marriage. Any refusal under this subsection…shall not create any civil claim or cause of action.”

– The Respect for Marriage Act (H.R. 8404) Section 6(b)

100% true; no misinformation there.

please identify where the misinformation is

And fuck all the people who have worked peacefully for it in the ensuing over half a century?

and pointlessly so, biden has given anyone permission for any gov’t official to refusal to certify or recognize a marriage by simply saying that it’s against their religion.

and it will be reversed without more bricks.

i’ve felt the same way except i see lemmy.world like the usa, manufacturing consent and peddling propaganda on the lemmyverse with vassal instances like sopuli and shitjustworks benefiting from it like the vassal states of western europe have done; a lot like how the prime minister of canada explained it recently.

confirmed emails from the ghislaine maxwell case that the isreali oligarchy had been “managing narratives” on reddit in a similar way to that of the epstein illuminati controlled 4chan’s /poll/ with things like qanon & pizzagate makes me feel like i’ve dodged a bullet by staying away from both reddit and the diet-reddits of the lemmyverse.

i fully expect that piefed will be like trump going after greenland and make the people of the vassal lemmy instances realize that their instances will diminish on the lemmyverse like the western europeans will soon realize that their countries will lose prominence on the world’s stage.

those people will find that they must return to reddit or go to piefed to continue receiving their iv drips of isreali/us misinformation and breads-&-circuses meanwhile the center of the lemmy’s original leftist communities & instances like hexbear will keep on going strong like they have been despite the lemmyverse censure in the same way that china prevailed against the western world’s censure to thrive compared to the declining us empire and it’s vassal states.
