  • Oh, of course, I must be mistaken - obviously none of our soldiers got sent to Afghanistan, or Iraq, or Syria, Myanmar, Tunisia, Yemen, Ukraine, Central Africa, Mali, Ivory Coast, Krygyztan, and all the pre-2010 wars, because we literally didn’t have any weapons and were in fact total pacifists. You are very smrat.

    So you go around on Lemmy and tell people to “kill themselves in a woodchipper” and post insincere comment to manipulate people.

    You are very smrat.

    Yha, i see you gong all around the Internet mocking intelligence and understanding, and actively supporting Cambridge Analytica methods, wanting criticism of Cambridge Analytica active measures removed from Lemmy.

    I’m on to you and your active measures to dumb-down people here on Lemmy with your games.

    “The trouble isn’t so much that we don’t know enough, but it’s as if we aren’t good enough. The trouble isn’t so much that our scientific genius lags behind, but our moral genius lags behind. The great problem facing modern man is that, that the means by which we live have outdistanced the spiritual ends for which we live. So we find ourselves caught in a messed-up world. The problem is with man himself and man’s soul. We haven’t learned how to be just and honest and kind and true and loving. And that is the basis of our problem. The real problem is that through our scientific genius we’ve made of the world a neighborhood, but through our moral and spiritual genius we’ve failed to make of it a brotherhood. And the great danger facing us today is not so much the atomic bomb that was created by physical science. Not so much that atomic bomb that you can put in an aeroplane and drop on the heads of hundreds and thousands of people — as dangerous as that is. But the real danger confronting civilization today is that atomic bomb which lies in the hearts and souls of men, capable of exploding into the vilest of hate and into the most damaging selfishness — that’s the atomic bomb that we’ve got to fear today. Problem is with the men. Within the heart and the souls of men. That is the real basis of our problem.” - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.







  • Your sources all overlook the changing role of women, inexpensive personal computers, DSL access.

    The Pentagon was not the underlying source of the Arab Spring. As I said, I predicted it using Marshall McLuhan and James Joyce in 2009… while I was living in Austin, Texas and studying media ecology of new commercial social media systems and all the Americans showing off their bling bling life to the world.

     

    “A Quiet Revolution in Algeria: Gains by Women”
    By Michael Slackman
    May 26, 2007
    “ALGIERS, May 25 — In this tradition-bound nation scarred by a brutal Islamist-led civil war that killed more than 100,000, a quiet revolution is under way: women are emerging as an economic and political force unheard of in the rest of the Arab world.”

    What is the “monomyth problem”?

    !FictionNonFiction@lemm.ee “Unified Theory of Fiction and Non-Fiction” talks about it here on lemmy.

    We have known for 2000 years that “I love Jesus” is wrong, “I love Allah” is wrong, “I love Yahweh” is wrong, “I love God” is wrong. Bible verse “1 John 4:20” from the Levant. And I am NOT a believer that the Bible is historical factual history. It is science fiction. But the behavior problems towards fiction, “alternate reality games”, is a crisis now more than ever with what Cambridge Analytica and the Kremlin Released in March 2013 on the World Wide Web

    You continue to show you are a true believer in the Kremlin and do not see the Pale Blue Dot global perspective of the “Tower of Babel” problem, languages and metaphor systems.

    “The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.” - Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot poem


  • That US/NATO has continued its demonic diminishment of Russia after this point, including nazi coups under fake liberal colour revolutions in Georgia and Ukraine, does not make anyone opposed to the stupidity and demonism of empire overreach. You supporting demonic nazis for diminishment of others (and Ukrainian population including nazis)

    The monomyth problem is global. Russia freaked out and thought the Arab Spring was active measures by the Pentagon, it wasn’t. It was because of the Apple iPhone being introduced in year 2007 and cheaper DSL internet in North Africa from 2005 onward… women able to access the greater Internet and see media and education they had not seen before.

    Russia is not in control of the monomyth patterns, if anything it is large language models / artificial intelligence since 2022.



  • I’m not real interested in this conversation. Sorry.

    Another insincere “sorry” bullshit. I can see clearly why you came along to insult and mock what you disagree with.

    This is what I mean by “strawman.” Nowhere did I do any of that.

    Not my fault you aren’t aware of your own subconscious and how it works. AGAIN, I am not creating a strawman, I’m talking about your compulsive behavior that you seem to lack any awareness of.

    I referenced Marshall McLuhan from the very first reply, have now spent a total of 7 hours thinking and responding to you about your messages.

    I asked you for your name, I gave my real name, and you just keep saying “strawman strawman” over and over to say I’m made of straw and not a human person. My name is Stephen Alfred Gutknecht, I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana - you treat people on the other end of social machines as “straw men”. We, The People of the world, are in the middle of a mass dehumanization warfare environment in April 2025 at the hands of social machines, and all you can keep doing is responding about your own desires for message formatting on Lemmy and how “I’m not real interested in this conversation” about the Hybrid Warfare that the USA ( 0.341 billion people ) have lost to Russia / Putin / Kremlin.

  • I should have said this last reply, but I’ll say it now.

    People on the Internet throw out logical fallacy labels / names like “strawman argument” as thought-terminating clichés.

    I have estimated in public that it takes 18 months to comprehend the topics I’m discussing. Even Peter Pomerantsev does not seem to understand Marshall McLuhan, Neil Postman, James Joyce on the monomyth / world religions… so Peter Pomerantsev entire body of interviews and published writings is only about 6 out of the 18 months. Marshall McLuhan and Joycean body of work is easily another 9 months of understanding Surkovian information warfare payloads - what Cambridge Analytica has tapped into.

    There are alternatives and faster paths than 18 months, such as trusting the right people. Many of which are dead authors / teachers such as Carl Sagan… and !Malala@lemm.ee is one of the few public teachers who has left enough public material to get people to see the crisis in monomyth behaviors and interpretations. Trusting her would be a shortcut. She has excellent communications, but humanity avoids the truth she keeps saying.

    The crisis is the amusement one, people are not interested at all or attracted to humanism. The sort of things Carl Sagan spells out in his Pale Blue Dot poem do not attract people, nor does Malala attract people to her ideas. People have to actually desire a better world and not just get off on hating people. It’s the biggest step forward for humanity, and most have never even imagined it.


  • Cambridge Analytica and the IRA are sort of part of history, at this point, how we got to the present state as opposed to vital “news” that people need to be made aware of.

    Nope. I do not see people grasping at all that this is an alternate reality game they are playing on Lemmy. That they are inside simulacra of resistance.

    This is about James Joyce’s monomyth, show me where people are relating that to Surkov techniques and writings.

    If it was already here I would be building on it and not starting from scratch and going bottom up.

    We are not going to escape these 5,000 artificial Russian religions without confronting what I quoted to you already about 1987 Skywalker Ranch interviews and the 3 main Levant monomyth religions. Which are artificial reality meme systems that the Kremlin built on top of.

    Plenty of people will enjoy and adore living in alternate reality, that’s human history, but I’m not. I don’t enjoy the simulacra of resistance at all. This isn’t fun, real reality is a horror show, and if you hate any person - if you hate Elon Musk or hate Donald Trump - you can not see that you too don’t grasp Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s lessons about minds that hate not seeing clearly.

    The 5,000 patterns of alternate reality from March 2013 that the Kremlin and Cambridge Analytica crafted since year 2022 have been fed into Large Language Models / machine training, so the number is basically endless now. Russia is not in control of this, it’s a threat to all humanty. It’s time to wake up to James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake and Marshall McLuhan’s teaching about Finnegans Wake or not. The Tower of Babel crisis has never been worse in human history because of what was unleashed in March 2013.



  • If you were saying ACAB is counterproductive at this point,

    Yes, I think it is part of the problem. Instead of giving morality lessons to police, people are just furthering hate. !RemedialMorality@lemm.ee

    that Hamas shouldn’t have raped all those people

    All rape is bad, no matter who is doing it. I don’t see anyone in Lemmy standing up to all hate, all violence, all rape and instead promoting that Palestine should “win” against Israel. Terrroism is bad, war is bad, the whole Middle East needs !RemedialMorality@lemm.ee teaching.

    I have lived in the Middle East and extensively studied the subject. Why are people all grey-rocking !Malala@lemm.ee on Lemmy? Why aren’t they promoting her ideas and quoting her daily?

    Because all they care about is “winning” battles and not putting an end to all hate and war.

    You are starting a pointless fight with a strawman for no reason at all

    Who is that strawman? Can you be specific, precise, or just bullshit like Donald Trump and Elon Musk style of communications? And you think there is no point in fighting the superficial values of people who can’t tolerate word choices and style differences. Again, you trying to belittle and say what I’m doing is “pointless”. I’m not a straman, I’m a human being named Stephen Alfred Gutknecht.

    I think what people largely value on Lemmy is mass dehumanization of “the others” out-groups they disagree with. Using anonymous accounts on machine systems to hide their real life and real identity and mock away at Palestine, mock away at Israel, mock away at Donald Trump, mock away at MAGA, mock away at humanism in favor of mockery and machine lust itself.

    that most people here (myself included) already agree with all this stuff.

    I do not see that at all. There is zero self-awareness of !MediaEcology@lemm.ee and the Kremlin information warfare.

    Show me all the comments and posts here on Lemmy discussing Cambridge Analtyica working with the Internet Research Agency. SHOW ME. As I already looked. People are playing inside the 5,000 simulacra patterns here in anti-reality hiding their real names as is life is an ARG screen game. Just like Bluesky, Mastodon, Reddit, Twitter.

    This is a cult platform of meme consumers who adore patterns of memes and are not pro-humanist, they are pro-technology. Do you hear anyone here on Lemmy mentioning that Apple iPhone and Apple iPad are funding Elon Musk X media platform in 2025? I don’t, because it is beloved technology.

    Do you see Star Wars fans on Lemmy discussing the George Lucas filming of Bill Moyers and Joseph Campbell about machine values taking over society, the REAL non-fiction USA? Nope. I don’t see that coming up about those Skywalker Ranch interviews. And what was said in 1987 at Skywalker Ranch about the Middle East religions, anyone repeating that?

    George Lucas Skywalker Ranch 1987

    JOSEPH CAMPBELL: But in the Bible, eternity withdraws, and nature is corrupt, nature has fallen. In biblical thinking, we live in exile.

    BILL MOYERS: As we sit here and talk, there is one story after another of car bombings in Beirut—by the Muslims of the Christians, by the Christians of the Muslims, and by the Christians of the Christians. It strikes me that Marshall McLuhan was right when he said that television has made a global village of the world—but he didn’t know the global village would be Beirut. What does that say to you?

    JOSEPH CAMPBELL: It says to me that they don’t know how to apply their religious ideas to contemporary life, and to human beings rather than just to their own community. It’s a terrible example of the failure of religion to meet the modern world. These three mythologies are fighting it out. They have disqualified themselves for the future.

     

    What I witness on Lemmy is people far more concerned with the decorations around a 8-word meme than they care about actually using social media to address humanism problems for all people on the planet, all-inclusive. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are a product of the Apple iPhone culture that was exploited by the Kremlin working with Cambridge Analytica in the most powerful information warfare ever created in human history.

    I don’t see people here in April 2025 going: the world needs more love, compassion, we need MLK Jr and Malala teachers. Instead, I see people mocking Donald Trump, mocking Elon Musk, and wanting new game consoles.
