This isn't the 1980s where the only source of news was corporate owned propaganda networks; there isn't an excuse for ignorance at this point. Jack Black chooses to support nazis. He is a nazi. That is his active choice.

I picked a famous complex and nuances nazi, so it seemed apt.

If jack 'those subhuman palis need to just shut up and die' black wanted to be compared to someone less nazi like maybe he should be a nazi.

It just takes someone popular. Under Bush jr, Biden's patriot act was passed and brought the US into the early stages of outright fascism. Under Obama state and corporate power fully combined when people had to start paying corporations for the right to have healthcare or be fined. Under trump this all has only expanded.

Fascists don't need a useful idiot, they just need someone popular. And guess what's just a popularity contest?

Trump isn't the problem. He's too stupid and too old to have planned enough or worked hard enough to accomplish the things he has.

Fascism was happening in the US regardless of if it was wrapped in a golden toilet or not.

A) 'troll farms,' also known as PR companies exist in all modern countries and most all major companies. They're not a feature of china or Russia. They're not something your supposed enemies are doing out of the evilness and dastardlyness in their hearts.

B) PR companies target wide range forums. There are more users on some BBCode forums for obscure games than the entire (actual) fediverse. There are more American users of Redbook than the entire fediverse. Even if you assume these evil scum just use one individual for their scheme of... Making anti Chinese propaganda look less reasonable... That would be more in wages than it costs to run the entirety of lemmy. Not to mention all other operational costs. We know roughly what these groups get paid, since they're public job postings (and get leaked like Israel's jidf when they're not). They're not cheap enough to was on an audience of, at most, 45k users from across the world, most of whom are already anti American, anti imperialist, and sympathetic to the morals of the CCP if not the actual country due to local propaganda efforts.

This is your mind when you mainline neoliberal propaganda like black tar heroin.

Yeah, Hitler was a vegan, genuinely loved dogs, and was once in love with painting.

Much nuance. Many complex. Totally excuses all the other stuff.

I'm sorry the cool stoner dude that never mentally aged past 13 turned out to be a genocidal nazi. It truly is a loss to all humanity.

This dude is tripling down on the idea republicans don't pass legislation far more frequently than dems despite never having a filibuster-proof Senate majority.

You want to explain why the unconstitutional practice of a filibuster stops dems but does not stop republicans?

He's a zionist. It sucks he hid being a nazi like that for so long, and I can understand wanting to mourn, but, he's not someone anyone should still idolize or respect.

That's primarily why most people on lemmy that critically support the CCP post; to get people to realize their reflexive EvIlCHiNaMeNcOmMiEs bad is influenced by the propaganda they've been consuming for decades.

Its a democratic state made up of more people than the entirety of North America and Europe combined. There is no magic brainwashing power that exists in any version of our reality that affects 1.4 billion humans perfectly. So either they're not people or maybe most of them genuinely enjoy their country and the good it's managed to do for them.

Oh and since this is ml and facts can be said; the uighur population isn't under going genocide. We know what a 21st century genocide looks like in a fascist state. The few thousand (out of tens of millions) arrested and allowed reeducation for legitimately going to Afghanistan and becoming terrorists does not a genocide make.
