"He uses the internet to search Google and read news"
So he's only consuming Left-wing propaganda? My gosh.
They've actually managed to rope in the Muslims.
Here it is I thought they might fight against the Liberal-Progressive prefects, having roof-tossing parties, but it looks like Muslims will end up being the Leftists' pawns after all.
I noticed this when they were running PR laps around our media after their takeover.
Obviously they aren’t good guys because they still believe they are required by God to murder non believers, and shariah law, etc, but it will be real interesting to see if any of these changes run deep in their ranks, or if it’s all just for manipulation.
The Lotus Eaters had an interesting podcast covering the Taliban memes, and honestly there wasn’t much of a difference between their memes and the memes you can find here in relation to men/women relationship dynamics. We differ on pretty much everything else tho lol
Uncle Ted was totally correct. Society changed in less than 3 generations, faster and farther than it ever had before... and it broke something in humans.
I think gen x was uniquely positioned to see this. We grew up both without and with this technology, so we recognise the gulf that exists between the people who developed before and after this shit became ubiquitous. It's like staring at two different species of human.
They've realised the hypnotising power of the media. Consider it an arms race between "believers" and "infidels" on who can infect the consoomer brain first
That's... Depressing. I suppose it shouldn't be, but it kind of... Is?
I think this is more a "know thine enemy" situation, rather than necessarily the global "generational shift" some might think...
These dumb, ignorant fucks don't even know how to use gym equipment. So they might be good "consoomers", but they ain't too knowledgeable about "the dirty heathen West", beyond whatever shitty soaps they might get from Turkiyestan, lol...

Doubt, Islam has a built in kill switch when members become too progressive.
I sure hope that turns out to be true.

I do worry sometimes that Uncle Ted was 100% correct and I'm just too much of an addicted cyberpunk to change.

The propaganda they can put out on the internet is too good to not allow that tech.
It's Taliban-K
It's not quite the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, no.
(they're also very interlinked, but anyway)

They've realized that they can't defeat their greatest enemy without adopting their tactics.
They learned from ISIS that this technology is simply too powerful with regards to communication, recruiting and propaganda for them to ignore.

Hanging television sets from tree sounds like an oddly appealing aesthetic honestly.
How about about that?

Turkish serials? I thought our entertainment options were bad. No wonder they want to commit suicide while yelling something about a snack bar.
