Imagine you're in silent public place, googled something revolting and it read out loud: "ACCORDING TO WIKIPEDIA EATING SHIT IS A RECREATIONAL ACTIVITY"

@dave @alyx The problem America First Republicans have is that the votes are directed, not counted.

Ballots are going into the mix with no valid chain-of-custody or verification,
machines simply put different percentages of those votes to programmed candidates,
if the programmed percentages don’t work votes are taken from one candidate and given to another until the desired outcome is achieved,
then either boxes of ballots are left uncounted or massive numbers of unverified ballots come in after the election’s over.

Elections where the entire country is deprived of knowing one of the candidates is as corrupt as the day is long is one thing, and a very important thing, but to then think votes still matter is being pretty oblivious to everything going on.

America holds mock elections. The only way to fix it is through elections. Bit of a conundrum.

@dave @alyx Democracy in a multietnic society is nothing more than a census
Extending the vote to every knuckle dragger in the country means that most of the vote will go to the people who own the media and who promises the most gibs
the jannies conspired to send me a steam gift and I was stoked thinking milk sent me $100, even thought up what I'd spend it on then I realized it was a gag and the gift was a title literally called $100 😩

@applejack @alyx @Effortless The answer to some of those questions is war-time propaganda.

The concentration camps footage was used as propaganda, while the Holodomor was far from sight and far from mind.
With Jews in media and finance, the Jewish angle was emphasized to squeeze more money out of wealthy Jewish investors (wars aren't cheap you know).

Fun fact: some of the footage of the liberation of the concentration camps is a reenactment by the Soviets.

It was haram to talk about it, until the step-sister of Anne Frank casually pointed it out in a documentary (though people still don't like talking about it).
She just pointed at a photo, a frame from one of the videos, and said it's not real, since there's no snow on the ground, which means it was shot in the wrong season.

War photographers weren't usually on the tip of the spear, even when they visited the front lines.
So it makes sense the event was not documented when it happened, and the Soviets recreated it later for propaganda reasons.
Also all the rape would probably be bad optics.
