Mr_WorldlyWisemanto Fediverse vs Disinformation@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Pentagon Document: U.S. Wants to “Suppress Dissenting Arguments” Using AI Propaganda1·2 days agoI mean, the sheer irony of you claiming democracy is fake in an article complaining about how more and more propaganda is trying to make people believe democracy is fake.
If democracy is fake then why do we count votes. Why do authoritarian fake votes and countries like France and the US don’t fake votes?
You can have carrot and stick diplomacy to pressure other leaders and even entire sovereign countries without completely overthrowing their election system.
Mr_WorldlyWisemanto politics @lemmy.world•JD Vance Mocked for Embarrassing WWII History Mistake3·4 days agoYeah I mean I guess every war technically ends with a treaty or status quo ceasefire, but you’re skipping a lot of steps where all of the most egregious nazis were killed or captured first.
You don’t have to go as far as the Romans did to Carthage to demand an unconditional surrender through force.

You can’t prove that Google isn’t shipping backdoored versions of the app to targeted individuals
Trolleybusses and trams are basically indestructible. Normal busses only last like 20 years, electric busses even shorter, but trolleybusses and trams will last 100 years with proper maintenance. The only big wear part is really the tires on trolleybusses, which doesn’t affect trams.
The main reason why old trams aren’t run anymore is just because they’re a bit small and noisy and not wheelchair accessible. That and car companies convinced cities to pave over their tram lines to be able to sell more cars.
Remember to thank your chatbots!

Dawg, I’m sorry but you just are completely out of the realm of objective fact here.
I didn’t say the US was a perfect democracy, or that there isn’t voter suppression. I’m saying that votes are counted correctly in the US, and the results of any federal election in the US is the person who received the winning distribution of votes.
There are statistical models for detecting ballot stuffing, and many countries have very robust vote counting systems. Additionally, many independent sources poll voting booths and their numbers are often very close to the official results.

Votes are counted accurately in western countries, there is no evidence of ballot stuffing.
If there was evidence of ballot stuffing, wouldn’t at least one journalism site tell everyone about it?
There is overwhelming evidence for dictators like Lukashanka and Putin faking elections.

Multiple sources on Wikipedia have used statistical analysis to show evidence of ballot stuffing:

Even if all of this was true, and you’re OK with treating Finns, Ukrainians, Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians, and Taiwanese as NPCs who are brainwashed by the CIA: That doesn’t mean democracy is fake! There are plenty of current and historical imperialist democracies, look at the US, look at the UK, look at France, look at Nazi Germany, look at Italy, look at basically all of Europe in the 1920s, look at Israel. Just because a state is doing evil things, doesn’t mean that a plurality of people in that country don’t support doing those evil things.
Nobody has proposed destroying the current Russian, PRC, or US regimes. Peaceful resistence to their anti-democratic propaganda and their imperialism is mandatory as an ethical humanist.
I didn’t say that coercive deplomacy has anything to do with democratic idels, just that it is a necessary tool for liberal states and societies to respond to the paradox of tolerance.
