  • Oh Im definitely not saying youre not having fun. Im sure youre having fun. Im just saying youre spreading propaganda/misinformation while doing so. Many people have fun at the expense of others and those are being assholes during the process as well, just like you are. Youre pretending like bullshit like this has no effect at all, which is just you being ignorant. Its like starting a fire in the woods for fun and saying “oh come on there are so many trees left this is nothing”.

    That posts like these are getting lots of upvotes is proof enough that most dont critically examine them. Especially if your opinion was already leaning in that direction, like people who dont like Che to begin with, they wont question your meme, they say “yeah fuck him”, upvote, move on. Im not saying people take memes like this as pure fact and reference them in their university papers or whatever, but they still have influence and especially in the world we live in right now, having to deal with shit like this on top is just unnecessary.


  • I think youre confused here. Just because propaganda is provoking people does not mean it qualifies as a shitpost. Posting a beheading is also provocative, is that a shitpost to you? Most people dont engage that much with the content they see on here. More often than not they dont even check what community something was posted in. They might be like “oh Che Guevara was a murderer? Didnt know that scroll”. Youre saying you “dont believe in” the stuff you post, but when writing factual information, believing in it has nothing to do with it. Its either true or not. These are not opinions. Its just spreading misinformation.









  • The title is very misleading. What it means is “for the first 97% of Homo Sapiens’ existence, there was no writing”, which just states something everyone more or less knows or has a feeling about. It says nothing about how much of what has happened in history has actually been recorded. I mean how would you even measure that? What is 100%? That would mean “all information”, so at least the atomic configuration of the whole earth. Even for a single instant, that would need more memory capacity than is available to all data centers combined (and its not a close call, you would need a data center 100+ times the size of earth to store that information)
