Most of Western Europe has severe limits on advertising. They ban things like comparative advertising and don’t even allow advertising for prescription medication.

It is not about deciding what propaganda is allowed, it is about setting up regulations to prevent misinformation.

Our current model in the US is the good will outweigh the bad. That people will be able determine the truth and ignore lies. This is of course poppycock.

Unfortunately propaganda works really well and if you allow misogynists and Nazis to have a mouthpiece their numbers will grow.

Control is not a bad thing, those that push toxic freedom and “free speech” have moved the goalposts so far it is hard to believe. We have been so propagandized to it is hard to separate reality from the lies at times.

The truth is propaganda, misinformation, and public relations are working to sow discontent and manipulate people and it is wrong. We are supposed to protect people, not throw them to the richest wolves who convince them that they should enjoy getting eaten.

The average person is easily manipulated by propaganda. Highly intelligent people who should know better are easily manipulated by propaganda. This is why propaganda is so dangerous and should be tightly controlled.

AI might be a convenient excuse but it is my understanding this all relates to a change in US tax code that no longer allows a company to write off research and development.

The genocides will continue until the morale improves.

We are ripe for another Luddite movement with this giant AI grift the Tech Bros are forcing on us.

Alex?

Projection, it is secretly what they wanted the whole time.

What is wrong with building towns in the desert?

Dozens of empires came and fell in that region. They have no unique claim and believing they did reeks of Zionism.

There is no good solution to the monstrosity that we helped created. Israel is like our little genocidal child, a regular chip off the old block.

Fuck the establishment Democratic Party reps, run them all out of office because they will never get it. We need a new deal not conservative appeasement.

This is the future that those who are controlling the conservative platform are trying to prevent.

Make no mistake this is and always will be a class war about stealing the value of workers for their own personal gain.

Nintenblow! Next, they will try to brick their trading cards if you use them against their terms.

Ummm no! Our drones have crosses on them because Jesus is king.

This is just GIGO.

The US gave Israel, an evil state, nuclear weapons. By your logic…

Pretty much this and the answer is nothing. This is the world we have created where people are murdered just because. We are the ultimate terrorist.

The average person has no control in the US. It is and apparently always will be an oligarchy with the illusion of freedom and democracy.

The media did managed to convince a third of people that Trump is anti government which is pretty rich. It just shows how far propaganda has come.

It takes a special type of shithead to threaten peoples’ jobs to their face without even knowing what the fuck they are talking about.

Because it is popular to shit on liberals like everyone of them is a neo liberal. The truth is it is the conservatives that have been destroying public spaces like this. Although you could argue that the libs have not done much to stop them.

I live in a small tourist town and the conservative business owners have lobbied to take out all the benches in town because of a few homeless people. Now our elders have no place to sit. They even did it to our little mall.

So because homeless people we no longer have anywhere to sit in public and even private spaces. It is beyond stupid.
