What I find the most interesting about propaganda is that it’s not a bad word in the USSR and China (and likely other AES countries) at all!

In fact it wasn’t a bad word in English either until the First World War which is when it acquired its sinister implication since that is what the German ministry of information was called, so “according to the ministry of propaganda…” became equivalent to “fake news because it’s the Germans saying it.”

The German ministry of propaganda vs our ministry of information.

For example, the Irish ministry of propaganda was renamed the ministry of publicity in 1921, and then especially since WW2 it has become uncommon in non-English speaking countries as well since they want to avoid the sinister connotation it invokes in the English language.

JFK will come back from the dead on the anniversary of the October revolution but this time he will lose the Cuban missile crisis and communism will be established.

Germany would say “well they are selling a lot of drugs so it’s not colonialism it’s actually a form of social welfare and we should support it.”

Yeah for sure you are absolutely correct. I don’t at all mean to undermine the importance of therapy and I know first hand how debilitating mental health issues like depression and anxiety can be.

You’re completely correct about the importance if therapy and pills of required, it just bothers me when people dismiss exercise with the “thanks I’m cured” response because even if it’s not a cure, it absolutely DOES help and it helps a lot.

Eat right, drink plenty of water, exercise, get some vitamin D… it’s going to make a big difference.

Edit sorry to be clear I’m not arguing with you xD I’m just ranting

Yeah that’s a good point. I don’t see Iran denying this if it were true either so radio silence on the topic makes it seem like it was just made up.

My girlfriend is a self-described communist, work abolitionist, strong feminist, and committed to the populist separatism common among her ethnic identity / culture and I won’t even tell her about this place.

“Where do you get your readings from, MultigrainCerealista?”

“Oh um I just follow some authors I really like on Twitter”

Well to provide context it was a period of depression and I wasn’t really seeing friends I was mostly just getting stoned and watching YouTube in the background while reading.

So instead of reading books and YouTubing for 6 hours a day I started riding my bike and after maybe a month of that I 80% cured my depression.

Also I started eating right mostly by buying those frozen bags of ready to cook meals that are mostly vegetables in some kind of sauce (Trader Joe’s style frozen bags) which are cheap tasty and relatively healthy.

Now I’m trying to get myself to do weights.

I wish I started living like this in my early 20s it is the way.

The biggest improvement in my mental health was exercising three hours a day and eat stir fried vegetables and green yoghurt for desert everyday for six months. I got high the whole time too and still wound up in the healthiest mental space I’ve known for 20 years with a more positive outlook and material reality than ever before.

Exercising, eating right, drinking water, stop drinking too often, it might not cure 100% of your mental afflictions but goddamn it will help.
