Fact: The communist Khmer Rouge in Cambodia under Pol Pot killed nearly 1/4 of Cambodia's population, or roughly 2 million out of 8 million people.
The regime forcibly emptied cities, relocated people to collective farms/labor camps, abolished money, and forced everyone to wear the same black clothing.
The regime even killed people who wore glasses or spoke more than one language, on suspicion of being "intellectuals" or "counter-revolutionaries."
People were mass murdered in the Killing Fields, often with pick-axes to save bullets.
The regime declared that all old culture and traditions, including Christianity and other religions, must be destroyed to form a socialist agrarian utopia, and declared the beginning of "Year Zero."
Communists are ultra faggots. The killing fields are filled with human remains. Teeth and jawbones are found there every day. There are only estimates of how many died there.
Most if not all, were Intellectuals, and college level Profs, or teachers, and Pro-American......
The Murderers were ALL Anti-Americans.....
This should give people a CLUE about our American Future......but most will flat out IGNORE it........because they like being IGNORANT......
FALSE the regime learned that suffocation by plastic bag was the most economical method of mass murder, other methods wasted bullets or wore out valuable hand tools.
I don't think so, but might be wrong. Image editing back in the late 1930's and early 1940's was FAR more labor intensive then digital video editing today. Doctoring photos was certainly possible, but it was much easier to simply take pictures of actors or new arrivals than take pictures of starving people and edit the pictures.
i'm not excusing the nazis or japanese fuckers but those 'starving prisoners' were a result of our bombing campaigns against the germans and the japanese in the philippines. i mean think about it logically. if the germans had starved these prisoners for at least 2 years they would have died long, long ago. the food emergency only started around february 1945. within 3 weeks all of these poor prisoners and even the german soldiers ended up like that unless they were SS or had a general who hoarded a lot of food for their garrison. that was when our forces came upon the german concentration camps. and in the philippines...i mean, come on...if the japanese wanted to starve our soldiers to death in luzon, philippines they would have been dead like since june or july 1942. it was almost 3 years later when they were liberated. the food problem again didn't become an issue until right before the luzon landings in january 1945. the japanese were starving all over the pacific. that was how effective our air force and navy was in WWII.
Sure, when the Japanese and German soldiers and civilians started to starve, the prisoners didn't get fed well either.
However, there are thousands of pre-food-shortage eyewitness accounts of prisoners being worked like slaves and fed far less than what they needed to stay healthy. Both the Germans and the Japanese did it. The Russians did as well, with their German captives.
The prisoners in question were being intentionally held right at the edge, where they could still work, but most did not have enough energy to seriously consider escape or resistance.
All journalists are pieces of shit. They are communist combatants. Everyone that loves freedom should treat these communist pieces of shit known as "journalists" as the enemy.
They spew hatred, division, and pure propaganda to further their twisted motives. And whenever someone calls them out on their BS (like Trump), they hide behind "fReeDoM oF tHe pReSS" and "uNdErMiNiNg pReSS iS dEtRiMenTaL tO dEmoCRaCy."
Edit - I would add that if the media completely vanished into thin air tomorrow, many of this country's problems would be over. They are the problem in many cases. You should resent the media. They want you dead and they think it's funny.
They're not journalists, they're propagandists. The few remaining journalists we have, like Project Veritas, make some of the most valuable contributions to society.
It's also not all the media. The Epoch Times is legit. It's most of the corporate media which has been taken over by a cynical ruling elite and acts as their propaganda mouthpieces.
It’s like any business. The little guy is more likely to do honest work and have Uncensored Rap, Classic Rock or Rush Limbaugh playing on talk radio when I walk in. The big businesses are more likely to have paid product placements on TV shows and their own fancy logos plastering everything in their own buildings.
I learned about Rush Limbaugh, and became politically aware and then a conservative, because the owner of the small pizza shop I worked for in my late teens had Rush on every afternoon.
Huge points for studying at the Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies, AND having the screen name of one of the best and most colorful villains. Though, I prefered him as 'Legate' Dukat.
I wholeheartedly agree. They are absolutely the enemy of the people. They are traitors and commit treason on the regular. Like @cucksforthedonald said, they are propagandists, not actually journalists, however they hide behind that title. They brag about lying to the public, and spreading hate. They're proud of themselves. If the SHTF, they should be one of the first people to face justice for their crimes, right after certain politicians (in minecraft, obviously).
America is the bad guy not Communist freedom fighters was slant taken decades ago.
Lying American journalists helped the Khmer Rouge by propping up their image as they actually killed American soldiers. Lying American journalists covered up the atrocities by drawing attention away from Pol Pot's Killing Fields. Even decades later, lying American journalists tried to help Presidential Candidate John Kerry continue the US BAD / COMMUNISTS GOOD trope. Kerry claimed that he was on a Swift Boat actually in Cambodian waters when the voice of President Nixon's Christmas Eve radio address denying combat involvement in Cambodia, was seared into his brain.
Ask an older Pede why journalists repeating that particular lie of Kerry's was ridiculous.
I'll always remember what Swift Boat Veterans for Truth did with that group photo Kerry used in his TV ads to pretend he had the support of all the other Swift Boat captains.
They tried to say they were in contact with family members. It was a lie they weren’t. LOL an “editorial” oversight my ass. You don’t accidentally photoshop smiles on people.
Yeah remember the boorish beanie boy who once worked there? His former employer is a recurring topic in his videos. Lately he posted his eulogy of VICE, bemoaning the loss of its edginess as it has degraded itself to a woke cookie cutter corporate media outlet just like every other one.
Zero excuse for what they did here. This is on par with photoshopping all the undesirables & uncooperatives who were forced into cattle cars as though they were getting on a cruise ship for a vacation.
It really isn't that difficult either. They just throw nonsense at the wall until the narrative the day sticks, all determined by polling, focus groups, and Twatter.
Media Matters gives them the daily targets, and then they just start regurgitating every thought that enters their little minds. Some of it sticks, but most of it gets memory holed.
This is the blessing & the curse we live in right now. We can see what’s going on, who’s involved, & understand it better than we have our whole lives. But, we’re realizing how deep, wide, & absolutely sick it all is & are adjusting to that understanding at the same time. We’re shocked, but we’re not in shock. We’ve got this.
If it didn't meet the standards of vice, why was it approved and published?
It was approved and published, therefore it meets their standards. The whole "It doesn't meet our standards" is to cover it up and not take responsibility.
It's really like patting yourself on the back after fucking up.
"yes sir unfortunately the car I racked up an hour ago cuasing thousands of dollars in damages and almost killing Jimmy. But I am really good at putting cars in the air sir, probably the best in the shop, that certainly isn't the kind of failure I make. I will investigate how it happened and make sure it doesn't happen again sir. "
BULLSEYE! IT IS A PATHETIC EXCUSE BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN CAUGHT.
I SEE THIS SORT OF THING WITH THE ENGINEERS THAT WORK UNDER ME ALL TIME. "WHY IS THIS FLOWMETER SIZED INCORRECTLY? -OH WELL PROCESS MUST HAVE CHANGED THE FLOW RATE." HE KNOWS ITS BULLSHIT, I KNOW ITS BULLSHIT, BUT HE ALSO KNOWS THAT I CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE BULLSHIT SO WE PLAY THIS GAME UNTIL HE GETS TIRED OF ANNUAL REVIEWS WITH NO RAISE AND QUITS.
AMP is a cucked google thing, don't like to that trash if you value your privacy. And you should, because Google is full of cucks who are up to no good.
Directly linking to their trash heaps is arguably just as bad.
The best thing to do is to use archive.org.
Not only do you not give them a single click, you also make sure to have a (for now) permanent record in case they edit, remove or block access.
Useing an add blocker when you go to pages of companies you don't like doesn't effect that companies bottom line. They get add revenue based on the pages traffic, not weather or not you watched or looked at an add. If yoh use an add blocker they will still see that you went to the site and assume you saw the adds, and still get paid for your traffic.
The only thing that using the blocker does is keep you from being annoyed of yoh are annoyed by adds.
That depends on how the ad blocker works. My setup doesn't even load the ad (or its javascript), so they won't get an ad impression on their hit counters. The ad's JS won't trigger and there won't be a network request to the ad server.
Ad companies factor in percentages of people who use ad blockers into their strategy. So, using ad block isn’t completely useless, it’s more like pissing slightly into the wind.
There is actually an add-on for Firefox (I use WaterFox) that does this for you with just a click. It's called Archive Page. It is also available for Chromium forks.
I’m not. I’m using WaterFox. It’s a fork. What browser do you use? What kind of phone and computer do you use? What internet service do you have? Where do you pump gas? If you wanna go there we can go there. Fuck outta here with that nonsense.
No, not good on them. If they were good then it never would have happened in the first place. How many people ever see the retractions? That’s the retraction game they’re playing.
THIS!! Everybody needs to understand how this works. The Khymer Rouge DOCUMENTED their genocide. Those people KNEW they were being processed. That innocent girl was 99.99% a victim of numerous rapes before her murder.
It is the Left-Hand Path. People either learn to live in accordance with the natural laws, the rules of their Creator, or damn-well close to it... or they go down the Left-Hand Path which leads to unfettered hedonism. Marxism, cannibalism, child sacrifice, pedophilia, beastiality - you can't really go any farther away from the rules of the Creator than that. Its like a mentality RAGING against the Creator and existence itself, like Marx said (paraphrasing): "all of existence is abhorrent and must be destroyed." Its the Satanic Inversion.
it goes all the way back to Lucifer falling. he wanted to replace god, but that's something that no one can ever do. and what is God but the natural order of things, or put another way: God is existence itself, reality.
the left cannot accept reality, so they substitute their own reality. except it's fake, and never holds up. so they go down a spiral of denial of what is real and true, constantly trying and failing to replace it with what they wish it were like.
this is what hell actually is. the rejection of God and the madness, rage, and despair that it brings.
Wow I knew that the rejection of the Creator was what hell was, but you just clarified it so much. I imagined it was more like an emptiness and a darkness, but your explanation just explained so much.
Be a better person & surround yourself with those who want the same. That’s what the word “community” ACTUALLY means & it’s important to have. People aren’t the problem. People who allow for communism are.
It's funny because these useless academic types posting inane articles about cum cocktails would have been the first ones the Khmer Rouge hacked to pieces in the rice fields, but college professors conveniently leave that part out.
It's the most fucked up thing I've seen this month. A decade ago, it would have been the most fucked up thing I'd probably see all year, but in Clown World the hits keep coming at an accelerated pace.
All the #'s run through algorithms, profits are inflated, markets monopolized, reviews bought, competition thwarted. There's no competing, the entirity of the system is rigged from the ground up. Their dark illusion and lies feed into itself become more and more entrenched. It cannot be undone, it must fester and grow to suppress its own wretchedness being exposed. The lies beget more lies, false popularity pulls in the masses and creates a tangible, omnipotent presence of righteous falsehood. "Believe the science, Nazi".
We live in a world of illusion where consent is literally manufactured, not with MSM propaganda and lies, but with upvotes, likes, tweet, and various other illusions of public support.
This is the brave new digital world, where the elite can conjure the compliant hate fill cult mobs out of thin air. The rest of us ostracized out of their existence, made terrorists, and bigots, for the crime of fighting for decency against their degeneracy, meritocracy over their tyranny, and substance over their horse shit.
It's hard to even articulate the world we live in, it's enough to make you think you're a crazy, tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist.
Simply put, principle is poison in modern society, a bullshit lie you were sold in your youth during better times. And it will be your downfall as the half assers jokers fuck your country into the dirt.
EXCELLENT POST!! People need to wake up that our "decency" will be our downfall. People do not understand how much CONTROL is being manufactured and manipulated by these digital dictators.
It reminds me of a fakedocumentary that the brazilian heiress of one of the largest companies in Brazil made about the impeachment of Roussef (from the left Worker's Party). The fiction was trying to link the military regime of the 60s-80s with the ousting of the corrupt left in Brazil.
Obviously her family's company was deeply implicated in the scandals, the largest corruption scheme uncovered in human history.
She digitally removed guns from a picture to make it seem like the communist insurgency were little angels ambushed and killed without mercy. And of course the fakedocumentary was on the short list of the "foreign doc" category in the Oscars because fuck pedowood commiefornia.
that is beyond disturbing. as much as i hate the innuendo that the media uses to push communistic ideas these sick fucks straight up took actual victims of communism and re wrote them to make them seem happy. holy shit.
I remember seeing "The Killing Fields" back in 1984. In no small way it changed my life. I remember thinking 'This was going on while I was growing up?' Somehow the fact that this genocide happened while I was going to Jr. High school (and I was blissfully unaware of it at the time!) impacted me in a big way. Yes I knew about the Holocaust, but that was in the past, black and white pictures, before I was born. This happened during my lifetime. It really shook me and made me realize that this type of thing could happen anytime and anywhere. I vowed to pay attention from then on. Unfortunately, it has happened again and again since then.
The thing is, I'm starting to think it may happen in our country.
People with autoloading rifles won't willingly load themselves on boxcars or buses.
And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward."
I watched a documentary called the Killing Fields of Sri Lanka about when the Government destroyed the Tamil Tigers.
They committed so many war crimes but because their goal was complete eradication and to prevent any future uprisings they just executed all prisoners and those who surrendered while putting on a happy smiley face to the cameras of the outside world.
The end justifies the means and just like this election they know that once their action is taken its final and there's no going back and no real threat to power except some posturing for the cameras by their rivals.
This is a douche move, but incidentally their Photoshop retoucher is top notch. You have to change a lot of facial features to go from fear to happiness, and if you never saw the originals you wouldn’t know these were faked.
I’m not sure what to believe here. I can understand Vice’s explanation somewhat, that some of the families wanted a photo of their relative smiling since it was the only photo they had, but I also think those pictures should have just been given to the families, and not been used in the article.
As soon as the photos got used in the article they started erasing history. They should know better as journalists, so that’s their fuck up no matter what explanation they try to give.
Fuck off with the mental gymnastics this is attempting to eradicate history. Do you think its okay to make concentration camp victims look happy before they enter gas chambers?
I agree that whoever did the retouching had mad skills, but I seriously doubt that it was done by a human. I am almost certain that this was done by ML.
As for your point re vice, I completely disagree. They knew exactly what they were doing. They just got called out and they are covering their ass.
I'm 90% sure it was machine learning as well. So much digital work is now being done by automated systems...while we "import" millions of unskilled illegals as even skilled jobs for our citizens are being nuked by automation.
As a United States Marine Veteran this is pure evil. We never ever smile in pictures. Exceptions are the silly shitbag bitches, Wookies probably, and pictures of our drunken escapades throughout the barracks.
Oh God this breaks my heart and now I am so very sad to think that a human can be such a vile creature. There is nothing more evil or ugly on the face of God’s green earth than a human being that denies the love of the Lord
Holy shit that's horrible. Like NYT denying the holocaust back in the day. Vice has never been relevant in anything but this is deep level of evil. Wow....
This was a gross thing to do. Pol pot perpetuated a genocide that killed 2 million people and turned the country into a backwater agrarian pit. All communism is bad, but his year of zero crap was the worst.
This is so f'd up. I have a thick skin but my wife survived the Khmer jungle. Her mom gave her last bit of gold to a corrupt doctor (also prisoner) to save her younger sister by giving her a salt iv drip that didn't work. She died as a small toddler. My wife and her mom and older sister were lucky to survive. NO ONE WAS SMILING! God I wish these writers could spend some time as a POW.
BEYOND FUCKED UP! Shouldn't this count as desecration, shouldn't this type of shit done by a publisher be countered with fines at the very least? Imagine seeing photos of your dead family members who were brutally starved and killed by tyrants, with big ol' fake smiles plastered on them. Fuck Vice, disgusting.
This is a quality shop job. This took a lot of time to do. It’s very, very insidious. I use photoshop for a living, I can’t imagine doing this. It’s a lot more disturbing than you might think.
When I first saw this on Twitter, I didn't know the context but immediately knew something was off. That smile is something I would expect from Jeffery dahmer after he got done munching on someone's liver. Fucking creepy
You have to be a serious piece of shit to do something like this. Wow.
Vice Media.
Its equal to photoshopping muscles on aushwitz victims. Truly sickening.
Lmao

Shit, i'm over here roflcoptering
did they do that too?
Valid question.
of course they wouldnt. liberals actually do not respect asians at all, because they are not a useful minority for politics.
I don't think so, but might be wrong. Image editing back in the late 1930's and early 1940's was FAR more labor intensive then digital video editing today. Doctoring photos was certainly possible, but it was much easier to simply take pictures of actors or new arrivals than take pictures of starving people and edit the pictures.
i'm not excusing the nazis or japanese fuckers but those 'starving prisoners' were a result of our bombing campaigns against the germans and the japanese in the philippines. i mean think about it logically. if the germans had starved these prisoners for at least 2 years they would have died long, long ago. the food emergency only started around february 1945. within 3 weeks all of these poor prisoners and even the german soldiers ended up like that unless they were SS or had a general who hoarded a lot of food for their garrison. that was when our forces came upon the german concentration camps. and in the philippines...i mean, come on...if the japanese wanted to starve our soldiers to death in luzon, philippines they would have been dead like since june or july 1942. it was almost 3 years later when they were liberated. the food problem again didn't become an issue until right before the luzon landings in january 1945. the japanese were starving all over the pacific. that was how effective our air force and navy was in WWII.
Sure, when the Japanese and German soldiers and civilians started to starve, the prisoners didn't get fed well either.
However, there are thousands of pre-food-shortage eyewitness accounts of prisoners being worked like slaves and fed far less than what they needed to stay healthy. Both the Germans and the Japanese did it. The Russians did as well, with their German captives.
The prisoners in question were being intentionally held right at the edge, where they could still work, but most did not have enough energy to seriously consider escape or resistance.
You get the hell out of here with that "using logic" bullshit. I want to bE mAd aT nAzIs!!!!
They absolutely had the ability to manipulate photos back then. The soviets were known for their fake propaganda photos:

Real journalism is independent journalism. All the real journalists left the major networks and started their own substack pages.

The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth nailed it on Kerry and got silenced by the corporate media like Trump.
Yes, but a new breed who 'blogged in their pajamas' made sure their voices got out there in a small but meaningful way.
Oh yeah, no doubt. I was just adding on to your example and adding some history there for the young'uns.
I'll always remember what Swift Boat Veterans for Truth did with that group photo Kerry used in his TV ads to pretend he had the support of all the other Swift Boat captains.
That's because journalists have been communists for decades. Whether knowingly or not.
The chronic creep of communism rolls on.
I assure it will get much much worse from here. Prepare your mind for it.

It’s literally day one of journalism school not to photoshop shit like that
You don't need to be in journalism school to know not to do that shit.
You have to go to journalism school to learn to do shit like that
It really isn't that difficult either. They just throw nonsense at the wall until the narrative the day sticks, all determined by polling, focus groups, and Twatter.
Media Matters gives them the daily targets, and then they just start regurgitating every thought that enters their little minds. Some of it sticks, but most of it gets memory holed.

WHAT? you mean that I can't just photoshop happy faces to the people in Gulags to show how happy they were!!! IMPOSSIBLE!
It's incredibly easy to tell which companies have been compromised by commies.

If yoh use an add blocker they will still see that you went to the site and assume you saw the adds, and still get paid for your traffic.
The only thing that using the blocker does is keep you from being annoyed of yoh are annoyed by adds.
That depends on how the ad blocker works. My setup doesn't even load the ad (or its javascript), so they won't get an ad impression on their hit counters. The ad's JS won't trigger and there won't be a network request to the ad server.
But that's good to keep in mind.
Ad companies factor in percentages of people who use ad blockers into their strategy. So, using ad block isn’t completely useless, it’s more like pissing slightly into the wind.
There is actually an add-on for Firefox (I use WaterFox) that does this for you with just a click. It's called Archive Page. It is also available for Chromium forks.
Question remains. Why are you still using woke piece o shit Firefox?
I’m not. I’m using WaterFox. It’s a fork. What browser do you use? What kind of phone and computer do you use? What internet service do you have? Where do you pump gas? If you wanna go there we can go there. Fuck outta here with that nonsense.
Wow. Hit a nerve there. Here let me fix it. "Questions now is. Why do you keep pimping out Firefox?"
I was following this yesterday. Good on Vice to remove it.
Yeah, good on Vice for publishing it, getting busted, and then scrubbing it.
Which they only did because they were caught.
No, not good on them. If they were good then it never would have happened in the first place. How many people ever see the retractions? That’s the retraction game they’re playing.

Photos right before they were shot.
THIS!! Everybody needs to understand how this works. The Khymer Rouge DOCUMENTED their genocide. Those people KNEW they were being processed. That innocent girl was 99.99% a victim of numerous rapes before her murder.
Humans are so terrible to each other sometimes
mostly leftists .
It is the Left-Hand Path. People either learn to live in accordance with the natural laws, the rules of their Creator, or damn-well close to it... or they go down the Left-Hand Path which leads to unfettered hedonism. Marxism, cannibalism, child sacrifice, pedophilia, beastiality - you can't really go any farther away from the rules of the Creator than that. Its like a mentality RAGING against the Creator and existence itself, like Marx said (paraphrasing): "all of existence is abhorrent and must be destroyed." Its the Satanic Inversion.
it goes all the way back to Lucifer falling. he wanted to replace god, but that's something that no one can ever do. and what is God but the natural order of things, or put another way: God is existence itself, reality.
the left cannot accept reality, so they substitute their own reality. except it's fake, and never holds up. so they go down a spiral of denial of what is real and true, constantly trying and failing to replace it with what they wish it were like.
this is what hell actually is. the rejection of God and the madness, rage, and despair that it brings.
Wow I knew that the rejection of the Creator was what hell was, but you just clarified it so much. I imagined it was more like an emptiness and a darkness, but your explanation just explained so much.
Communists aren’t people.
Fuck people. That just makes me sad
Be a better person & surround yourself with those who want the same. That’s what the word “community” ACTUALLY means & it’s important to have. People aren’t the problem. People who allow for communism are.

we all have a moral obligation to organize locally
To be fair, skulls are technically smiling, so their faces must look quite happy on the bone piles too. It's not all bad.
Username checks out
I guess we are not bigly on sarcasm.
Fuck Vice. This wasn’t some fucking mistake. They’re fucking commies and they would suck Pol Pot’s Dick if he were still alive.
All the motherfuckers at Vice need to be shot.
Every communist goes to sleep anight thinking they would be the better dictator.
It's funny because these useless academic types posting inane articles about cum cocktails would have been the first ones the Khmer Rouge hacked to pieces in the rice fields, but college professors conveniently leave that part out.
The professors would be next on the block
They were first actually. They literally executed people for wearing glasses because they assumed they were educated.
Wait... This isn’t some Babylon Bee shit?
I just can't tell anymore!
Thank god I’m not the only one!
Unfortunately not :(
This is soo fucked up Im at a loss for words
No.
You mean the alt-right racist russian misinformation site that wraps itself in a thin veneer of satire?
-The New York Times
that's some sick shit, even for vice
It's the most fucked up thing I've seen this month. A decade ago, it would have been the most fucked up thing I'd probably see all year, but in Clown World the hits keep coming at an accelerated pace.
Yeah this one actually shocked me.
Bold statement to make at the beginning of riot season.

All the #'s run through algorithms, profits are inflated, markets monopolized, reviews bought, competition thwarted. There's no competing, the entirity of the system is rigged from the ground up. Their dark illusion and lies feed into itself become more and more entrenched. It cannot be undone, it must fester and grow to suppress its own wretchedness being exposed. The lies beget more lies, false popularity pulls in the masses and creates a tangible, omnipotent presence of righteous falsehood. "Believe the science, Nazi".
We live in a world of illusion where consent is literally manufactured, not with MSM propaganda and lies, but with upvotes, likes, tweet, and various other illusions of public support.
This is the brave new digital world, where the elite can conjure the compliant hate fill cult mobs out of thin air. The rest of us ostracized out of their existence, made terrorists, and bigots, for the crime of fighting for decency against their degeneracy, meritocracy over their tyranny, and substance over their horse shit.
It's hard to even articulate the world we live in, it's enough to make you think you're a crazy, tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist.
Simply put, principle is poison in modern society, a bullshit lie you were sold in your youth during better times. And it will be your downfall as the half assers jokers fuck your country into the dirt.
EXCELLENT POST!! People need to wake up that our "decency" will be our downfall. People do not understand how much CONTROL is being manufactured and manipulated by these digital dictators.
And after years of studying human behaviour they know when people are likely to take action and when they will just complain and sit on their asses.
They also know how to squash any dissent while showing a happy smiley face to the world.
Mmmmmmm that went down guuuuuuuud, wordsmithy!
What in the absolute fuck is this?
1984
They turned their frowns upside down?
Toys'R'Us isn't around anymore either...RIP all involved.
It reminds me of a fakedocumentary that the brazilian heiress of one of the largest companies in Brazil made about the impeachment of Roussef (from the left Worker's Party). The fiction was trying to link the military regime of the 60s-80s with the ousting of the corrupt left in Brazil.
Obviously her family's company was deeply implicated in the scandals, the largest corruption scheme uncovered in human history.
She digitally removed guns from a picture to make it seem like the communist insurgency were little angels ambushed and killed without mercy. And of course the fakedocumentary was on the short list of the "foreign doc" category in the Oscars because fuck pedowood commiefornia.
...oh buddy, wait until I tell you about the 2020 election!
that is beyond disturbing. as much as i hate the innuendo that the media uses to push communistic ideas these sick fucks straight up took actual victims of communism and re wrote them to make them seem happy. holy shit.
"Look, people can be made to enjoy awaiting their executions. Open your mind!... or else."
Vice faggots, someone should do the same with them when the CCP does the same with them, after they takeover that is
If they are lying with a commie bullet hole in their heads someone should Photoshop a smile onto them.
I remember seeing "The Killing Fields" back in 1984. In no small way it changed my life. I remember thinking 'This was going on while I was growing up?' Somehow the fact that this genocide happened while I was going to Jr. High school (and I was blissfully unaware of it at the time!) impacted me in a big way. Yes I knew about the Holocaust, but that was in the past, black and white pictures, before I was born. This happened during my lifetime. It really shook me and made me realize that this type of thing could happen anytime and anywhere. I vowed to pay attention from then on. Unfortunately, it has happened again and again since then.
The thing is, I'm starting to think it may happen in our country.
People with autoloading rifles won't willingly load themselves on boxcars or buses.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn - The Gulag Archipelago
I watched a documentary called the Killing Fields of Sri Lanka about when the Government destroyed the Tamil Tigers.
They committed so many war crimes but because their goal was complete eradication and to prevent any future uprisings they just executed all prisoners and those who surrendered while putting on a happy smiley face to the cameras of the outside world.
The end justifies the means and just like this election they know that once their action is taken its final and there's no going back and no real threat to power except some posturing for the cameras by their rivals.
I was in HS when the boat people started showing up in my tiny town. We had no idea what these people had just been through.
"You will own nothing and be 'happy'."
We will make you happy in Minecraft.
This is a douche move, but incidentally their Photoshop retoucher is top notch. You have to change a lot of facial features to go from fear to happiness, and if you never saw the originals you wouldn’t know these were faked.
I’m not sure what to believe here. I can understand Vice’s explanation somewhat, that some of the families wanted a photo of their relative smiling since it was the only photo they had, but I also think those pictures should have just been given to the families, and not been used in the article.
As soon as the photos got used in the article they started erasing history. They should know better as journalists, so that’s their fuck up no matter what explanation they try to give.
They lied about talking to the families.
Because the families were also murdered. Another inconvenient fact in the Vice coverup.
They are lying about a hell of a lot more than that.
I want to know what the retoucher was thinking. Was it "This is some funny shit" or "WTF am I doing?"
"It's just my job. If I don't do it someone else would!"
They're one step closer to Nuremberg.
"Look, conservatives are happy awaiting their deaths. Extermination camps should open right here, in America!"
Irritation that the historical record doesn't match their obviously correct impression of communism, and a sense of duty to correct the record.
Fuck off with the mental gymnastics this is attempting to eradicate history. Do you think its okay to make concentration camp victims look happy before they enter gas chambers?
Somebody should do that and "leak it" as pictures Vice had done, but didn't post yet. And then let's see how the ADL reacts.
They should. I actually thought this was one of us making a Communist meme about something they would do. I'm genuinely shocked that this is real.
Exactly. Eradicating history and revisionist history is the big tool of the left and demonstrably evil.
At the VERY LEAST they should say the photos were "digitally colored and smiles added".
I agree that whoever did the retouching had mad skills, but I seriously doubt that it was done by a human. I am almost certain that this was done by ML.
As for your point re vice, I completely disagree. They knew exactly what they were doing. They just got called out and they are covering their ass.
I'm 90% sure it was machine learning as well. So much digital work is now being done by automated systems...while we "import" millions of unskilled illegals as even skilled jobs for our citizens are being nuked by automation.
I'm pretty sure it was done with the program called FaceApp, which uses AI to alter portraits. Example.
As a United States Marine Veteran this is pure evil. We never ever smile in pictures. Exceptions are the silly shitbag bitches, Wookies probably, and pictures of our drunken escapades throughout the barracks.
Maybe someone should alter David Chipman's Waco photo so he is smiling. That's wild, I've never heard of machine learning doing this until today.
I would love to see Vice write an article about how Vice fucked this up
Holee FUCK! This actually happened? https://nypost.com/2021/04/12/after-outcry-vice-removes-images-adding-smiles-to-khmer-rouge-victims/
they had the audacity to let an artist make this genocide into an art project
Can we get some photos of happy jolly Jews being gassed too? Oh wait, those photos don't exist!....
Vice can make that happen.
They wouldn't touch that with my dick.
These are the type of people who are writing history books for the next generation.
Ours is likely the last free generation unless something huge changes the course of humanity.
Oh God this breaks my heart and now I am so very sad to think that a human can be such a vile creature. There is nothing more evil or ugly on the face of God’s green earth than a human being that denies the love of the Lord
Do we have a name of the individual that did this?
Piece of human filth named Matt Loughrey
Shit will come full circle for these media companies. I just hope I'm still here to enjoy it!
This is disgusting
The eyes don't lie. Sorry, but even the photoshop still can't hide that.
Shaping a narrative by exploiting a tragedy. Sad.
Holy shit that's horrible. Like NYT denying the holocaust back in the day. Vice has never been relevant in anything but this is deep level of evil. Wow....
*Holodomor
I rather enjoyed their documentary on General Buck Naked. I have to wonder if it was just entertainment at this point.
This was a gross thing to do. Pol pot perpetuated a genocide that killed 2 million people and turned the country into a backwater agrarian pit. All communism is bad, but his year of zero crap was the worst.
Man this is some straight up evil shit the likes of which I've never seen in my lifetime. They just keep upping the ante don't they? Fuck communists
Fucking depraved.
The person that did this can’t be reasoned with
VILE magazine.
Why. The fuck. Would you do that?
That's fucking sick.
This is so f'd up. I have a thick skin but my wife survived the Khmer jungle. Her mom gave her last bit of gold to a corrupt doctor (also prisoner) to save her younger sister by giving her a salt iv drip that didn't work. She died as a small toddler. My wife and her mom and older sister were lucky to survive. NO ONE WAS SMILING! God I wish these writers could spend some time as a POW.
Disturbing how blatant they change history
All the history has been changed already.
Just another day for fake news.
BEYOND FUCKED UP! Shouldn't this count as desecration, shouldn't this type of shit done by a publisher be countered with fines at the very least? Imagine seeing photos of your dead family members who were brutally starved and killed by tyrants, with big ol' fake smiles plastered on them. Fuck Vice, disgusting.
Only a lowlife could do that.
This is a quality shop job. This took a lot of time to do. It’s very, very insidious. I use photoshop for a living, I can’t imagine doing this. It’s a lot more disturbing than you might think.
Is this real?
I shouldn't have to ask.
Yes. Vice is trying to play damage control
When I first saw this on Twitter, I didn't know the context but immediately knew something was off. That smile is something I would expect from Jeffery dahmer after he got done munching on someone's liver. Fucking creepy
I watched a documentary about Dahmer once when I was in high school....couldn't sleep with the lights off that night. Monster in human form.
What's the context here?
This is what makes me laugh when libertarians talk about why they don't vote for trump. "Hes so devicive!" Lol less economy more history.
“Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear.” I heard this saying as a child, but it’s now more real than I ever understood it to be.
Okay, what the actual fuck...
Fucking insane.
These monsters have ALL marked themselves.
but why?
Welp, that is officially the most evil thing I have ever observed with my own two eyes.
Keep your guns close because no one is coming to save us. When they come for you, you have to shoot.
