No, they're fascists wearing a giant neon sign that says:
⭐✨_FASCIST_✨⭐
Look its the same thing. The good space aliens don't wear human skin suits.
If I had to slap down some amount of cash I'll never be able to save to bet on which state would do this shit, it would have been Arkansas. No redeemable qualities in that state. Literal shithole. 50/50 ranking in US, etc etc.
Hey... That's unfair.
Don't forget Oklahoma and Missouri (best pronounced misery).
Meanwhile, Abbott is forcing Turning Point to be in Texas schools in order to groom the next generation of child raping MAGAfreaks
They’re not even afraid to be hypocrites anymore. Someone needs to turn the lights on and make the cockroaches scatter.
I can barely even understand how anyone could think PBS is propaganda.
None of these chuds have ever watched a minute of PBS in their adult lives.
Its a mistake to believe that this is an irrational or ignorant decision. These guys KNOW what the message of PBS is and there is a reason they don't want it to get to kids. They are making child soldiers and they don't want people giving them inconvenient values.
You guys are telling jokes while the other side is building an army. Maybe start taking this shit seriously.
100%. American liberals really do think this is just more of the same old Bush-era GOP misbehavior and are responding to it as such.
The thing is, if you're an American and you know how hard it is to simply vote out fascism, and if you understand how close America's empire is to the brink of disaster, you're either running or, lacking the means, mentally preparing yourself for a struggle to survive.
I pulled up stakes and left, but I still have to keep my sense of humour to stay sane.
It's really easy! If you imagine that a black person and a white person could never be friends or spend positive time together, and then you saw a show that had them together, you might conclude the show is trying to convince you something is okay that you know is not. Propaganda.
If you imagine that a gay person is inherently wrong, and that bad things deserve to happen to them as punishment for their choices, and then you watch a show where a gay person is happy and normal and respected, you might conclude the show is trying to push an idea on you that you already know isn't right. Propaganda.
It's sad, and dangerous, but it's not complicated.
I can barely even understand how anyone could think PBS is propaganda.
Propaganda, that's how.
The Reich wing is infuriatingly effective at using projection as both a defensive measure and an assault.
PBS isn’t perfect, but it’s publicly accountable and transparent—more than most for-profit networks.
Another true patriot based in India/Eastern Europe/Indonesia! The truest of usanian patriot accounts!
So, Mr Rogers, Sesame Street, Nova... were all propaganda?
The letter of the day is F, for Fake Fucking News.
Nova
I know plenty of people who think saying the earth is >10,000 years old is propaganda.
There was a Nova episode in the 1970s that was dedicated to a crazy rich guy's hare-brained scheme to mine minerals off of the sea floor.
Then, about thirty years later another Nova episode revealed that the mining scheme from the earlier episode was a CIA cover story to cover up for a top secret claw game operation to lift a sunken Soviet submarine off of the sea floor.
So I guess the first one was fake news.
"Accuse your opponent of what you are guilty of yourself" as per Goebbels
“Accuse your opponent of what you are guilty of yourself" as per every toddler ever
No joke
Elementary school teacher here. 95% of "he hit me" tattles are followed up with, "Only because he hit me first!"
Fascists are uncomplicated because their philosophy is uncomplicated: access to power grants you control.
Ah yes Arkansas, the beacon of education. Happy to keep their citizens illiterate and ignorant.
Arkansas ranks 45 out of 51 states in education.
So, let's say the kid gets up at 6am. PBS listings:
- 6:00 -- Pinkalicious and Peterriffic: Gingerbread House; Christmas Tree Trouble: "Pinkalicious" and Peter build a gingerbread house that attracts Sarafina, a holiday fairy
- 6:30 -- Curious George: George Digs Worms; Everything Old Is New Again: George's entry into the world of worm racing faces a giant hurdle when Mr Quint picks up the wrong lunch box; George learns about recycling, and sets out to recycle everything he possibly can.
- 7:00 -- Sesame Street: Elmo's Morning Routine: Elmo and Abby help Crystal the Ball invent a morning routine.
- 7:30 -- Milo: Milo the Decorator: Otto is needed elsewhere, so Milo and pals set to work painting Dame Delores's ballroom.
- 8:00 -- Work it Out Wombats: Zadie's Horrible Haircut; Zadie's Horrible Haircut; A Day Out With Babby: SUPER anxious about going to the barber, Zadie decides to cut her own hair. To fix this disaster, Zadie needs to face her fear of getting a haircut. When it comes to playdates, Malik discovers that smart devices have their limitations.
Golly such offensive content. The kids might actually learn something on Sesame Street!
The US is no longer one single country. One wonders when they will realize this.
Not since the Civil War, at minimum
When the orange rapist dies these freaks are going to keep dragging this nation down for the remainder of our lives.
No, you don't understand. They're teaching them kids to be GAY. To go in cat boxes and spread their trans, woke, DEI, Marxist, Socialist rainbows. Think of the children! /S
Conservatives are thinking of those children a bit too much, methinks.
I mean, education and kindness are indoctrination against them, but only because they espouse the doctrines of ignorance and hatred
The disparity between red and blue states keeps growing...
For anyone from Arkansas: disparity means contrast
(I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I know our Arkansas blue dots here on Lemmy aren't dummies)
I'm aware of at least one MAGA person with a kid who is like 10 and can't read.
The fact that American taxpayers actually finance right-wing indoctrination to a considerable extent seems to be overlooked here, which is probably due to this very right-wing indoctrination.
When your entire platform is "dumb people will let us do whatever the hell we want", reading and education become your enemies.
remember right wing propaganda taught conservatives to not believe with thier eyes or ears.

Then chalk this item up with the million-and-one things that are completely ignored by the ~~spiritually purified~~ lazy mediocre idiots who passively let all this happen, this death by a million-and-one cuts, since Reagan.
But boy oh boy by golly, they sure do feel they are doing their part by chuckling at political zingers online, after the damage is done, because they let the mouth-breathers through the front door and gave them the goddamned keys to the house and car in the first place.
🤔

Kind and smart are just not MAGAt values
Propaganda here means “facts and uncomfortable truths that interfere with OUR propaganda”
I never realized just how fast all this shit would collapse.
It’s like when you strip the bark from a tree and find it rotted from the inside.
Glad I moved away from Arkansas
Wait a minute! This is the most American thing I've ever heard of... So, you're telling me Americans fund TV channels but they complain and talk shit when someone talk about free healthcare?
we also fund public libraries and schools. Im not sure why healthcare is what gets people. (i am it's the constant propaganda and people want to defund libraries and schools)
