I think the issue is that there is sexual imagery of the person being created and shared without that persons consent.
It’s akin to taking nude photos of someone without their consent, or sharing nude photos with someone other than their intended audience.
Even if there were no stigma attached to nudes, that doesn’t mean someone would their nudes to exist or be shared.
That’s an interesting take. It seems like this thread is about sending a message to the DNC establishment, but maybe I missed the restriction of “sending a message to the DNC, but only through the Washington state primary”.
There is no strawman, only lived experience.
I’m not talking about the primary, my apologies for conflating the two streams of thought.
That’s not really a conspiracy theory. It’s exactly how propaganda and state sponsored FUD works.
The spreaders of propaganda find a point where they can create dissension, create a talking point around that point of dissension, convince people that it’s their idea to buy into the dissension.
Example of how FUD works. This is not something that I know happened. This is just a hypothetical example of FUD works, it is not known fact. I was not sitting in a room with a bunch of Russian agents that decided to AstroTurf beehaw or some other radical left wing Lemmy instance with a trendy talking point so they can influence the 2024 American presidential election in an effort to get a president elected who will withdraw American support for NATO, eleminate funding for the Ukraine war effort, and support Zionist ambitions in Israel. This is just an example of how FUD works.
Russia/RNC/whoever see they can exploit the genocide in Israel to weaken Joe Biden by framing him as a perpetrator of genocide. They go on internet forums that are sympathetic to this cause like Lemmy. They pose as upset Democratic voters that are going to teach the DNC a lesson by refusing to vote for Joe Biden and help get Trump reelected. They have bad faith discussions with well meaning but gullible Lemmings (known as useful idiots or “UI”) and convince the UI that not supporting Joe Biden is the right thing to do and that the UI is a reasonable person that is just responding the facts in front of them. They do this by coming up with catchy nicknames like Genocide Joe and appealing to the UI’s need to feel heard and be represented. The UI then goes about their day spreading this message far and wide never realizing they were manipulated into believing something and engaging in an action that will ultimately harm them.
It’s standard procedure perfected by the Russians over the last 10 years or so. People are incredibly easy to manipulate, that’s why advertising and marketing are so effective.
No he’s not, and because the DNC isn’t doing exactly what I want I’m voting for Trump. We have have to show the DNC that if they aren’t running the candidates that are exactly in line with us we aren’t going to blindly fall in line.
And let’s face it, ours is the only voice that deserves to be heard. Moderade Democrats have run this country into the ground and we need to take it back by voting Republican up and down the ballot.
Right? I used to think like the other sheep and vote for the do least harm candidate. Now I’m going to show the DNC that I can’t be bullied and vote Republican for everything, MAGA!
That will hold Joe Biden accountable and show the Democrats that there are consequences for their actions.
Where did you get “it costs literally 12 cents a box”? Is that a random number for effect or do you have some insider knowledge and know that for sure?
Either way is fine with me, just curious because it seems like a very small amount after paying for the raw materials, the workers wages, the shipping costs, and the grocery store overhead, etc.
