love how the Canadian parliament inadvertently exposed just how far into fascism neo-liberals are.
just a few days ago, if you wanted to find out how willing to defend Nazis liberals were, you'd have to do a lil searching. Now it's right in front of us, all the time, without stop.
"He's a hero, he fought against Russia" "He's just a little old man, he can't be a Nazi!" "So what if he was a Nazi? Communism was worse than anything the Nazis did" "How dare you call me a Nazi for defending Nazis?! I'm not a Nazi, I just hate Russia"
literally their evolution through this.
What really really gets me is when the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact is brought up, used to discredit and impart vileness on to the Soviet Union due to their association with Nazis (ignoring context, and other countries who made similar pacts earlier) and then the source of the awfulness, self-identifying (i.e. unambiguous) Nazis are pacified of negativity!
What? How do you use something to say something else is bad, then say that the something initially was actually not that bad! How does it not follow that the initial comparison and association at the very least be brought into question?
"Doublethink"
Orwell was a shitty socialist, but he was completely on point with the terms he coined to describe thought manipulation and the effects of propaganda.
its because he worked hand in hand with the people doing this shit lol
1984 is a manual.
It's like Michael Hudson wrote his book about imperialism to show how bad it was and they used it as an instruction manual except Orwell's wasn't an accident.
The unfortunate part about the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact being used by libs as a defence, is whenever it’s debunked the Libs come back full force talking about the dual-invasion of Poland, claiming the Soviets and Nazis worked together to destroy Poland.
9 salty libs and counting who don't like to have their inner contradictions revealed.
I'm too lazy and tired right now, but somebody should do one of those Spongebob diaper scene memes but with Ukraine Nazis. It writes itself.
Caitlin Johnstone comes through with yet another dub (I have stopped counting how many at this point🔥)
