Not gonna lie. I feel happy for the people getting fleeced by this con woman. these propagandists deserve each other.

It could be true ten times over and still justify none of what's happening.

Sad but telling mainstream media won't cover their source "organization" for rape is one woman that collected some headlines.

IDF is fascist organization.

All imperialist militaries are, they're just open and proud of the fact.

How many particularly violent deaths, how many "revenge" rapes, how many kids sniped in the head by IDF fascists who decided then and there to put down a "dangerous rapist human animal" do you think this one evil fuck is responsible for?

Absolutely disgusting. The damage of these lies is already done.

Holy shit your username.

That was the plan, not a foolish mistake or lacking investigation.

Instilling fear by alleging contemptible actions made by your enemy is a common propaganda tactic. The goal here is to rally public support behind your agenda by demonizing the enemy. The decapitated babies claim was of the same fiber, albeit the agency was different (corporate greed vs settlerism).

Didn't Israel actually do that recently?

I worry that this is where Republican talking heads are taking America. Too much information from too many places and too much of it is wrong. It waters down the solidity of society.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Stop boiling this down to just Republicans. Dems do this shit as well. In this context the issues is not a Left or Right or Left vs Right Issue. Is an Up vs Down issue. For the record, I am left.

Those in power think they know better than stupid you or me and will try to get away and lie with what they can and get away with, to all of us, because they think most of us are stupid or gullible. Tale as old as time.

If you are on the Left, you most probably notice the shit on the Right because it is farther away from things you agree with/worldview in the general. So it is more obvious to you, but Dems do the same general corrupt type of shit as well. You likely have a blindspot and if you think you don't, you are lying to yourself. Just like people on the Right will see the Left shit better than their own because their own bias and miss their own due to their blindspots. They want all of us to be petty. Works for them.

Man, I miss the Spirit of the Occupy XXX movememt, of the early 2010's, the wealthy and powerful, from both sides got actually scared and worried, if for only a little bit before political correctness distracted everyone and made people fight over trivial things instead of the economy, foreign relations, unions, and going after banks, Pharma, the military complex and other huge corps. Stuff that actually affects everyone and not some tiny minority.

Biden bypassed Congress to fund genocide

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago

They very clearly meant Democrats in power and they're right

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Cool so the democrats going to stop funding genocide? No? Didn't think so.

NYT are running debunked disinformation from Zionist propagandists. They can stuff it.

Not going to listen to a publication that not even half a year ago was all in on fucking NFTs.

Still more credibility than the opening greeting in a Fox News broadcast

Everyone is either a polite fascist or a rude fascist and there are no other options

[–] [email protected] 29 points 7 months ago

CNN and NYT were the major perpetuators of Levy's lies; this is not just a Republican problem.

They have been at it for a few decades now.

Republicans are always going to lie, that’s just their nature. The news media has completely failed us for their inability to call out these lies, due to their desire for access to those in power.

Meanwhile, Palestinian prisoners are stripped naked and sexually assaulted regularly.

I would normally reserve judgement on this, but it really fits in with the whole genocide thing.

This is exactly why debatebro culture is like this. The more time you spend debating the facts the less energy you have for convincing people away from their nazi talking points. It's the biggest reason why "prove it" is so often used by fascists to shut down conversations they don't like.

No need to project, she's stating facts:
