Turns out people on the “left” can be just as easily manipulated as those on the right. Surely its our own communities stoking violence between americans. Noone from outside the country could possibly want that for us, could they?
Why’s it so easy to spot right wing propaganda but not left wing propaganda?

I’m pointing out that non-americans like to point the right at the left calling them violent antifa, while they do the same with the left by calling those on the right Nazis. Then Americans think the posters are also american and get angry at americans for it.
Its simple manipulation, cause my enemies to fight amongst themselves.

I don’t even now what antifa is lol

Antifa is anti-fascism. It’s illegal in the US. Yes, really. An executive order by Trump labels “Antifa” as a terrorist organisation despite it not being an organization, but a name for anti-fascism. Official announcement: whitehouse.gov/…/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-tr…

Left wing propaganda is… Being explicitly anti Nazi? Bro, I think you might be a Nazi if this offends you.
InputZero@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
‘The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi’ isn’t left-wing propaganda, it’s what my grandfathers taught me. Those men were definitely not “Left-wing” lol!

What would you prefer for your new user tag, Offended by Anti-Nazi Memes or Swastika Fan?
Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
While not true, swastika fan made me laugh so I choose that one.
PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago

Can you elaborate on your point? What is the propaganda here? Who are the foreign actors?
MightyThistle@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Being anti-Nazi isn’t propaganda any more than being anti-genocide is propaganda. Being anti-Nazi and anti-genocide means you’re a normal and reasonable person. I’m not even left wing I’m an anarchist. But I’ll happily rebel against systems which are corrupt.

Promoting the labeling of large groups of people you have never met as Nazis, and then promoting violence against them, is a fantastic example of propaganda designed to create conflict and distrust amongst a community.
Shouldnt be so hard to see, I’m not sure why lemmy users are so susceptible to this type of manipulation.

Would you have tried to feed this kind of hogcock to the victims of the holocaust as it was happening? Was everyone hating Nazis when they called themselves Nazis just a victim of leftists propaganda?
How many bites do you take of a shit sandwich before you know what you’re eating?
Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Sounds like the propaganda has been effective with you. I literally see no difference between you and a racist maga supporter. Both are simple, impulsive, and violent. None of those things are what make a good american.

I don’t have to meet a Nazi to know they’re a Nazi. Just as I don’t need to personally meet a cobra to know that what I’m looking at is a venomous snake belonging to the genus Naja.

that’s rich coming from a jackson hinkle supporter. seriously!

Because right-wing propaganda is “become Nazis, the left are all sub-humans” and the left wing propaganda is “what the fuck, the right are all Nazis!?”
It’s hard to spot propaganda when it’s just the truth spoken loudly.
Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
Its the same message flipped. Its just as bigoted and divisive. And its not coming from americans either, this is other countries citizens attempting to tear america apart so it stops being a blight on the world. Hard to blame them, but we shouldnt be so naive.
DomeGuy@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
The same folks sending “the left are subhuman!” to the right aren’t also sending “the right are Nazis!” to the left. That would be a duplicate signal and inefficient.
Instead, they’re sending “both sides suck” to the middle.
