How about we just go back to "lies" so the simple-minded folks who always fall for that crap can have a chance of "getting it" for once?
It always seems to be the lying authoritarians themselves who shout "LIES" the loudest, and that may be a problem. Because if you do the same thing, even with honest intentions, you become just like them, in the public imagination at least.
But those who pay attention know which is the truth, while yelling "lies" seems to work on the clueless - seems win-win to me.
I actually believe he is so stupid and poisoned by false sources that it isn't.
Remember (because the media hushed it up), he said autistic people should be sent to work camps. This is the beginning of Final Solution 2.0.
And not only people with autism. People addicted to drugs, people who take antidepressants or Adderall.... Sent to perform farm labor and be "re-parented' in the case of young people.
In case anyone doesn't remember/believe it, articles about it are easy to find.

They may can force us into camps, but I assure you most of us have pathological demand avoidance (pda), we’d rather die than do something we don’t want to. We can be some of the most stubborn assholes you’d ever meet.
I wonder if this how Roman civilians felt when the empire fell apart.
I would imagine slaves and other outgroups were glad.
RFKJr does remind me of Caligula's horse...
Roman empire fell apart over a few hundred years. USA is speed running this, so it'll be a tad more stressful.
We’ve been speed-running this since Nixon was in office.
The whole US is drowning in right wing LIES dressed up as news, not just government disinformation.
Plug for an anti-disinformation creator I support on Patreon:
Shout-out to Professor Dave, Miniminuteman, and Logicked at least his old videos on Kent Hovind and other quaks.
Dr. Wilson! That dude is absolutely awesome. I first saw him on a debate where he and professor Dave completely embarrassed a pair of vaccine sceptics. All his stuff is awesome.
I have literal fantasies where Wilson is more popular than Rogan
These facists would have us all rounded up and put in the camps with the other undesirables.
ADX Florence won't fit them in. Would rather send them to a penal colony in Antarctica.
Of course they will. You refuse to fight back. Where do you think this is going?
You don't know me. You don't know who I am or what I do.
But yes, my fellow citizens are not standing up enough. In fact, a ton of my local community strongly approves of what's happening. They will gladly watch their friends and family dragged away.
Oh they're fighting back, all right. Their fighting is downvoting Lemmy comments critical of their apathy and hoping that the next election makes a difference, even though they won't actually show up and vote themselves for reasons.
100%.
V10l3nt rev01ut10n is impossible in the 21st century.
Intentionally mistaking cowardice for helplessness
Yeah, he absolutely is, as if my life hadn't been miserable enough already being misunderstood all the time, misunderstanding myself, not even realizing I had a problem until I was an adult because of lack of information in my youth. It's absolutely disgusting, there is no excuse for it whatsoever, he knows it's all lies, it's evil through and through.
I'm autistic. I'm also comfortably retired with a wife, two cats, a house, and a Honda Accord. I'm not dependent on anyone. And now I actually have to have real concerns that I may get a late night visit from the Mental Normality Police.
Well done :) Yes, I really don't know where they are going with this, if this is some more market manipulation, if they actually know the cause and they are trying to pin it on something else, if they believe we are a threat, who knows. I have been hitting the exercise bike pretty hard tho getting in better shape just in case lol. I honestly believe if people just took some time to understand and work with neurodiverse people this could be a much better world, give us a little to work with and we will go to town with it, just have a little faith in us and we will pay you back 1000x every time.
They hate us cause they ain't us.
No, seriously, they dont actually believe we are capable of feats of intelligence or rejection of authority and that we fear our routine getting fucked with or people lying to us.
They see us as a threat to their power, not as an easy target.
Isn’t drowning a legitimate concern when you hang out with the Kennedys?
Seems wrong to paint the whole family for one drunk driver.
What he says about autism is simply not true.
Duffman says a lot of things and most of it is not true. A demonstrable untrustworthy source. A man of great harm. He wears ignorance on his sleeve. Those that have empowered him bear the greatest guilt.
There, the triumph of lying and deception on a massive scale, and all the bastards are reveling in the chaos, death and destruction they make.
