I dunno man. I think it’s much more likely we are seeing the product of the bots. You can’t expect every single site with comments to have propaganda bots. It takes a much smaller number of bots of bots to affect a much larger number of people. Someone has to program and deploy bots to places, the bots can’t just show up anywhere and everywhere there is political conversation
Do you guys think lemmy is a valuable enough target to deploy bot propaganda accounts? I’m not sure I think so.
I mean, people…this comment is true. Yes, “every vote counts” in that the more people that show up, the higher the vote count is. But one vote will not sway the election. It will irreversibly harm the climate though. If every single person had this attitude, the story wouldn’t be news, but if this were everyone’s attitude, it would make a difference. I don’t remember the philosopher that theorized the whole “act in a way that you would want made into law for everyone to act in that same way” thing—but what’s worse, everyone expending tonnes of co2 as law or one vote going uncounted?
Maybe the saddest part about all of this is due to the structure of American politics and the vitriol right wing voters have for people they deem “others,” there are, sadly, perceived “winners.”
[email protected] stabbed him.
CNN is also considered a “pretty credible source,” but that doesn’t mean they don’t carry water for genocidal regimes.
It’s a well-worn propaganda tactic, unfortunately. Well-worn because it’s effective.
Not to mention, the Paris climate accord was way too little too late and we’re all still falling way short of even those goals! We’re producing more co2 than ever before. Why the fuck are these people lying to themselves and everyone else? WE ARE FAILING MISERABLY, DISASTROUSLY TO FIHT CLIMATE CHANGE.
I think you mean he put all his chips into leveling and colonizing Gaza and the West Bank. “Destroying Hamas and hezbollah” is literally the “stop hitting yourself” excuse.
But the fine is 20 decillion rubles, not dollars.
Why does that thumbnail bring to mind some kind of white supremacist ceremony
But I haven’t even escaped the original matrix. Or the matrix reloaded.
Yeah…but Hamas isn’t the people of Palestine. Hamas is a brutal fundamentalist regime.
That doesn’t mean Israel is not committing genocide.
Yeah, for sure. I meant that as a pointed rhetorical statement more than anything
Excuse me for getting emotional over a fucking genocide. I find it strange that you’re not emotional over a clear as day genocide happening with all the proof in the world in front of our very eyes. And how you’re defending genocide as just a necessary step because of some flimsy ass excuse I simply don’t understand. I’m a human, so I tend to, y’know, passionately dislike genocide. What makes you defend genocide, if you don’t mind my asking?
I wonder if people were dismissed during the holocaust for getting emotional about the slaughter of innocent people.
…do you even hear yourself?
These people don’t have bomb shelters. WHERE THEY WERE TOLD BY ISRAEL TO SHELTER, THEY WERE FUCKING SLAUGHTERED. THAT IS THE FUCKING PROBLEM YOU GODDAMN MONSTER
bomb shelters
can you provide a source for this
So…even if they didn’t, you’d be fine with the hospitals, schools, safe zones, etc? Just because of one fuckin flimsy ass excuse from Israel? And have you seen proof of every school, hospital, et al that’s been bombed being used by Hamas? Are you not asking for proof of that? But when the people are being fuckin slaughtered, you need proof that EVERY SINGLE FUCKIN safe haven had been leveled before you fuckin stand up for the people facing a goddamn genocide? Wheat the fuck is wrong with you
But fine.
Hell, even when they finish a study, they’re liable to still say they don’t know. They’re just saying what happened in their study and how it could mean this happens on a larger scale.
And not even just a cookie banner. One that says “we use them, now we told you. You can’t turn them off.”
Fuck that site
