It isn’t only the US either
I use these moments as an opportunity to shill free software. Stick it to the man, whoever that might be!
Don’t get the causal relationship reversed. For example, they aren’t anti-semites because they believe those conspiracy theories that say jews control everything - they subscribe to those conspiracy theories because they are anti-semites.
I think it might be a case of “a little from column A and a little from column B.”
Sociopaths 🤝 idiots
well, tbf, i don’t hate jews (in fact i find many of their teachings pretty cool) but i too believe that large parts of the world have been run in the last 50 years by a secret cabal of jews. a large part of that, in fact, can be checked by simply looking at who owns the media, and other influential organizations. the reason why nobody was allowed to say anything bad about israel for so long is because the media is all run by israel/the jews.
and tbh, i think it was for the better. zionism is mostly known for its negative sides (i.e. the very existence of israel, which is a settler-colonial project that causes so much harm in the middle east), but what’s rarely talked about is the significant positive sides of zionism, including the development of IT and such. zionism is/was heavily influencing the development of computing machinery and its use in everyday life.
TBH I like takes like this.
Even if I can see pretty clear contradictions, it feels like the old internet, not the uniform, bandwagoning, loud bog of modern social media. Have an upvote, friend.

i might be wrong (and i’m frequently wrong about things) but at least it was an honest attempt :D
And see, that is a wonderful view.
I will take “I might be wrong about this” over absolutely any belief that’s based on absolute loyalty to some party or influencer or something like that. And the “new” internet doesn’t really reward that, unfortunately, it rewards angry conformity because tribalism is more engaging.
I worry about this on Lemmy TBH, with folks bandwagoning on some clickbaity sources as the top posts, and mods uninterested in doing anything about that.
Did Murdoch, Bezos, Zuckerburg and Musk convert to Judaism when I wasn’t paying attention or something? And when the hell could fox news, twitter or Facebook ever really prevent people from talking this shit about Jews? Fucking never.
i don’t hate jews
Welp. Here we go.
“I’m not racist, but …”
Everything before the butt belongs into it.
Jesus fuck, listen to yourself. Same vibes as “I’m not racist, I just think you need help from white people before you can reach your full potential”
That’s certainly a take.
The weird thing is that Epstein seems like he was his own separate child trafficking organization. The elites are still doing it, just making sure they sacrificially terminate most of their victims so they can never talk. There have been some victims who’ve spoken out, like Alisa & Gabriel Dearman, some 15 year old girl in Australia named Teresa, Anneke Lucas, Sarah Ruth Ashcraft , 1972 Bilderbergs etc
Half truth make the best lies, US intelligence can tell you all about it but they won’t.
“We were right.”
Conspiracy theorists on the parts no one was arguing about.
This is also a recipe for turning anything you don’t want taken seriously into a conspiracy theory.

Not all folks grow an inner-self, or the ability to abstract it from the world. Thus reflection is impossible.
reflection is impossible
The article you‘ve linked there is about aphantasia. The incapability to visualise images does not hinder you from reflecting on your thoughts.
Having aphantasia from the inner self against the world disallows the ability to abstract from it. You couldn’t reflect your actions against the world, and through it, with aphantasia. I’m not saying everyone with Cognitive Dissonance has aphantasia of the self, but that a subset cannot realize how their CogDis affects them and those around them. Self Reflection, and self realization, are highly complex abstractions CogDis folks generally do not partake.
I’m unable to visualize things in my mind, are you actually saying that it means I cannot self reflect? That’s certainly a take… Also one that is not presented in the aphantasia article you linked, so I wonder where this jump in logic came from.
Feels like you just don’t know what aphantasia is, even though you linked an article about it. And what’s this “aphantasia from the inner self”?
I’m saying a subset cannot. You are not part of that subset, because you have formed an inner self, and you can abstract yourself from that subset, and other folks that cannot self-realize, therefore self-reflect.
E.g. If I ask you what: how would you feel if you had not had breakfast yesterday?
And what’s this “aphantasia from the inner self”?
That’s my exact thesis. You have demonstrated you have an inner self. And that it is different from others. But there are also folks that do not conceptualize their inner self is different from others. And that that self affects others.
I think you’re conflating two very different cognitive processes. Aphantasia is very specifically the inability to visualise Images. Maybe, in a broader sense the inability to visualize (specific) senses in general. Lack of an inner-self and the resulting inability to self-reflect might be a thing but it sure is a very different phenomenon from aphantasia. Your inner self isn’t a physical sensation that you’re trying to visualise a memory of. And even anendophasia, the lack of an inner monologue, which is closer to what you’re describing than aphantasia, although still not quite it, does not seem influence self-reflection capabilities.
I try not to be ableist, but what you described at the bottom there seems like a mental condition that needs treatment.
It can’t be treated 😔. We wish it could be treatable.
