Speaking as someone who does remember all the Iraq War propaganda during that time, this absolutely looks eerily similar. I was against it then and I'm against it now. Don't let them fool you.

I’m not old enough to really remember the beginning of the war in Iraq, but lots of people who were are sounding the alarm about the propaganda going around right now. It’s called “manufacturing consent,” and it’s used to tip a population’s opinion in favor of an action by their government.

They’ll tell us whatever they need to in order to get us to go along with their goals, so we need to make sure we’re looking into claims before we spread them around online— even if they seem to support our current beliefs.

Republicans let Trump gut the best people to insert the worst people. Flunkie Pete Hegseth replacing a four-star general is an example. Marco Rubio at State is another.

Every MAGA move is a downgrade. The Kremlin gets everything it wants.

All this blatant Republican inferiority as they scream about DEI. All projection.

I've never been one to complain about rainbow capitalism anyway and in 2025 I am firmly "I will take whatever I can get" but I wish that conversation ever focused on whether companies putting pride themed logos on their social media accounts have homophobic or transphobic policies behind the scenes. Subaru was notable in the 90s because when their market research showed their cars were popular with lesbians and they decided to start actively advertising to them, they backed that up with policies for their LGBTQ employees, notably extending benefits to same-sex partners when gay couples couldn't legally get married, which was a big deal at the time. If a company is doing rainbow capitalism in public but have a history of employees complaining about discrimination we should talk about that but that's never what the generic complaints about rainbow capitalism are.

I'll give this much to Americans: we really are impossible to satirize.

for weeks I read stories or watched videos of animals drowning in zoos, in their homes, whole ecosystems dying or being damaged for centuries ahead, we were screaming for help on all platforms and got completely ignored and silenced

this made me lose faith in humanity forever
