“Poe’s law is an adage of Internet culture which says that, without a clear indicator of the author’s intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.”

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.

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.
Fuck China, but also fuck Elon
Ahh, so you hate people you disagree with. Today is Easter Sunday, maybe you should brush up on your morality lessons. I’m holding !RemedialMorality@lemm.ee teaching right here on Lemmy platform.
You go around telling people you don’t like that their life should be fucked-over. The entire nation of China. I can see why you are so popular on Lemmy and get so many upvotes, you spread hate and dehumanization.
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 feel like you have a belief that because of neurodivergence, you need to be exempted from any criticism or disagreement.
yha, you feel a lot of things that aren’t true. You keep pissing egoism over and over. I’m not here for personal ego contests like Elon Musk and Donald Trump do with social machines.
I feel like you have a belief that because of neurodivergence, you need to be exempted from any criticism or disagreement.
That belief is wrong. Sorry.
I’m not gullible about your insincerity. What’s your real name? My name is Stephen Alfred Gutknecht. I was born in 1969 in Columbus Georgia. Who are you?
In free societies, people are allowed to disagree with each other.
Yha, you want to promote deception and falsehoods and insincerity of Donald Trump and Vlad Putin as “allowed”… which you are manipulating to mean welcome. “equal”, both sides (True and False). I see your punching down on Truth again because you have found fiction to outsell non-fiction on social systems of April 2025. Inside the 5,000 Kremlin simulacra alternate reality screen games of social machines that were unleashed in March 2013 by the IRA.
Egoism is a hell of a drug. Look at the Kremlin and White House as they cheer on Palm Sunday wrecking of Ukraine by Russia.
You may notice in my previous message I said you have already consumed 6 hours of my attention and you aren’t resisting Russia. Why can’t you escape this particular thread and go respond on the topics I’m publishing all over the Internet? Nope. You just want to make this a conversation about two people, your own self and me. I’m focused on 8 billion people, the Mass Mind / Mass Man of society. The “Forest” and not two trees of you and me.

“Now this is a very serious affair. It is serious because these symbolic worlds were the supports of the civilizations, of the moralities of the civilizations, of the self-confidence of the civilizations, of the vitality and creative power of the civilizations. And with the cutting down, the frustrating of the self-confidence that derives from images of this kind, there is a disequilibrium within the society itself. And everyone is challenged in his loyalty—are you going to be loyal to the tradition, to the form, to the morality and myth of your society, or are you going to be loyal to truth? They are two different things.”- November 16, 1961 - Sarah Lawrence College for women, professor Joseph Campbell
I’m not trying to hurt your feelings by ordering you to conform, nothing like that. You can title your posts however you like. I’m just telling you that they will be more impactful
You tied me up for 6 hours about all how you don’t like my personal style of post titles and how incompetent I am in communicating on Lemmy. That’s 6 hours nobody is criticizing Russia against the Hybrid War itself.
Why didn’t you spend the same time and create your own parallel Lemmy Community and title so much better and demonstrate the bigger Lemmy crowd and rescue people all over the world under Putin influence? Instead of punching down on my communications skills with your thinking labor and English prose?
Why didn’t you fork the community and fight Russia instead of consume 6 hours of my thinking and feedback of what I explained to you over and over I already know I have core communications, thinking, and language differences? My First Reply to you personally I put forth that Marshall McLuhan says that my differences can be an advantage: ““The poet, the artist, the sleuth - whoever sharpens our perception tends to be antisocial; rarely “well-adjusted”, he cannot go along with currents and trends. A strange bond often exists between antisocial types in their power to see environments as they really are. This need to interface, to confront environments with a certain antisocial power is manifest in the famous story “The Emperor’s New Clothes”.” ― University of Toronto Professor Marshall McLuhan, The Medium is the Massage, March 1967” Where is your effort to rescue everyday human people (“We The People” of World Wide Web) from monster states like USA and Russia who have lost their hearts and minds to monomyth brain exploits that are now runaway in Large Language Models ((LLM) systems? You seem only concerned to punch down on me as a single individual with my media ecology failures and extreme brain damage from fighting this war since 2015 every day.
NATO / USA lost the Hybrid War that was launched in March 2013 against the World Wide Web.
Kremlin brags that only 1% of the manipulation Hybrid War content has been discovered and removed. NATO has entirely been unable to defend, 99% flies under the defense radar of Five Eyes (FVEY).
Russian military was able to completely get past USA FBI, CIA, NSA, and whatever else the Pentagon has. Competely unable to defend the population against Russian Hybrid Warfare. “For years, AIVD had access to the infamous Russian hacker group Cozy Bear. That’s what de Volkskrant and Nieuwsuur have uncovered in their investigation.” “the Dutch intelligence agency AIVD penetrated the computer network of a university adjacent to Red Square back in 2014, only to later realize they had tapped into APT29, aka Cozy Bear, one of the Russian government-affiliated organizations that penetrated the DNC and targeted other US government departments”. “It was Dutch intelligence operatives that hacked into some of Russia’s own institutions – including their closed-circuit television cameras.”
Putin and Surkov’s “Operation Matthew 4:19” global manipulation of everyday people included turning social media consumers into Russian assets of the Hybrid Warfare who deliberately spread measles and COVID-19 virus during the pandemic. Johns Hopkins University and George Washington University validated evidence going back to year 2014.
Absolutely no defense has been found against this Hybrid Warfare since it was unleashed in March 2013. “At the NATO summit in Wales last week, General Philip Breedlove, the military alliance’s top commander, made a bold declaration. Russia, he said, is waging “the most amazing information warfare blitzkrieg we have ever seen in the history of information warfare.” It was something of an underestimation. The new Russia doesn’t just deal in the petty disinformation, forgeries, lies, leaks, and cyber-sabotage usually associated with information warfare. It reinvents reality, creating mass hallucinations”
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.
I sincerely think you do not grasp James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake and think all these are ‘strawman’.
No, this is hard core reality real to me. Tower of Babel metaphor is as real as humanity problems get, and social media users are some of the worst in all human history in how they force language upon each other and insult and mock people / dehumanize with machines.
I entirely correct you: these are NOT strawmen arguments. You really need to study Marshall McLuhan and James Joyce.
if you absorb that most Lemmy people already agree with you.
No, they don’t. I gave extensive examples in my last reply. This place is amusement mill. Nobody here is agreeing with me that amusement itself is the cause of our problems. LOL, LMFAO, memes, shit.
Everything of Lemmy anonymous meme life is what is wrong in year 2025. This is a place where Donald Trump and Elon Musk are normalized with amusement surreal comedy, absurd humor.
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?
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.
