    I think the joke has to do with what Volkswagen was during the nazi-regime, there were no hippie busses back then.

      I think the joke

      I think the joke is to make light of the USA situation in April 2025 and how X media platform messages and Elon Musk electric media communications is used to create “mind virus” changes in the population, to use absurd comedy and surreal humor, to cause dissociation of reality among the electric media consumers, as this Lemmy user has been doing against pro-NATO and pro-USA defense efforts to educate the population about Russian Hybrid Warfare on the World Wide Web / social media systems, trivializing topics with low-effort dismissive reaction-comments.

       

      “bearing the names of all the “independent” party leaders, calling and directing them at any moment, day or night. The brilliance of this new type of authoritarianism is that instead of simply oppressing opposition, as had been the case with twentieth-century strains, it climbs inside all ideologies and movements, exploiting and rendering them absurd.” ― Peter Pomerantsev, Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible: The Surreal Heart of the New Russia, 2014

          lunlu @lemmygrad.ml: No way you are not an AI

          So many Lemmy users are so poorly educated on what real humans are and think everything they consume through computers is artificial intelligence, I created a Lemmy community for you…

              No, I think what I need is Deez Nuts.

              You communicate like “these nuts” are Elon Musk in your mouth - Twitter-thinking level of media comprehension and engagement, little short-line shit-thinking Tweet reaction comments. Copying your social machine heroes.
