You admit you were fed nothing but propaganda, but you still parrot that propaganda with phrases like "auth left," and the other bullshit. Examine your views more before disparaging strangers and potential comrades if you really want to help fight against war and imperialism, we also want nothing but the best for humanity and the earth.

Y'all lick auth-left boots here which is still licking boots from my perspective

lol "auth-left" isnt a real thing, authoritarianism is a meaningless word that just means "place i dont like"

you dont know a single thing about china, the dprk, cuba, etc, other than what state sanctioned western media tells you to think about them

but i guess thats not "propaganda" because they are corporations and not the government

I don't want my children growing up in a war-torn world. Crazy and fucked up that I don't want my babies to deal with wars, right?

if you dont want your children to grow up in a war-torn world you should support every aes state in existence going to war with and crushing amerikkka, the first western state to wholly and utterly embrace genocide in its entirety and as its reason for existence, and from which spawned many pale imitators, and also in many ways the purest form of the genocide-state

but you only care about war if it effects you, the lives of people in the global south dont matter to you so "war bad" is an easy position to have i guess

Nuance exists and I get the internet hates that

saying nuance exists while saying "all war is bad no matter what" is really funny lol

nuance exists, which is why i can say "the chinese people going to war and overthrowing feudal china is good" while also saying "the west going to war and bombing the middle east and killing hundreds of thousands of civillians is bad" and these things not be conflicting worldviews

Nearly every piece of media can be considered propaganda. There is not a TV show, movie, or even song that does not contain elements of propaganda. Furthermore, propaganda is not inherently bad, only who is saying it and what they are saying can be bad, or good for that matter. For example, it's extremely propagandistic to say "oppression is for shit and Nazis need to be disappeared hard," so you yourself are spouting propaganda. But it is not wrong and indeed that is a good thing to say. If you want to use a definition for propaganda that it must be a lie or presenting something as factual when it is not, fine, but then none of these games are propaganda, they're just role playing in different made-up scenarios (and yes, even games based on historical events, you are still playing made-up scenarios).

If someone were to say that they simply don't enjoy role playing (as in a video game) where they are killing another person, that would be fine. I think it's rather limiting and maybe a bit hypersensitive, but that's their prerogative and I would never get on someone's case who drew that line for themselves. If it feels bad to kill someone in a game, and you don't want to do that, ok, I get it. But that's not what you're doing here. You're not saying "it doesn't feel good to me to pretend to kill someone even in a video game" you're saying "these video games are political with respect to who is killing who," well yeah, so is every single fucking game where you're killing! So in this sense, you're really not much different from the CHUDs who whinge "keep politics out of my games!" because those games don't align with their own highly political standards of games needing to have white, male, cis/heteronormative, neurotypical, able-bodied, capitalist-realist perspective. Are you opposed to playing the Wolfenstein games because you kill nazis in them? That is very much propaganda, but it is good propaganda, which you should recognize since you yourself correctly state that "nazis need to be disappeared." The exact same thing can be said for the two games at the top of the OP image that you are pearl-clutching about not being willing to play because they are propaganda. Can you really not see your ridiculous double standard?

It is very much a good thing to "push propaganda" of an oppressed group fighting for their liberation while it is a disgusting but overwhelmingly common thing to push propaganda where the so-called good guys are soldiers for imperialist hegemony.

Also, this is mostly beside the points above, but anyone who says, "I see reality for what it is" does not in fact see reality for what it is. It is impossible to fully model reality in our minds, we all have no choice but to view reality through certain lenses and those lenses need to be constantly adjusted to more closely model reality. This may be a bit nitpicky and it is getting into philosophical, epistemological tangents, but it really does irk me when someone can't recognize their cringy hubris by claiming to "see reality as it is" as if everyone else, including those who have spent years and even decades studying political theory, can't see reality for what it is.

star wars is propaganda
