Another one? I'm still reeling from the preacher murders.

Don't you think the guy looks like MAGA Paul Hollywood?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He reminded me of Jon Favreau. Or David Zayas

Remember: misinformation comes from both sides. Just because you like it doesn't mean you can skip fact checking.

The side that is doing actually good stuff doesn't need to use misinformation, but there'll be unaffiliated people spreading whatever kind they want on a platform that will have them

Simply using the term “both sides” is problematic, and not just because it’s a binary fallacy. There aren’t just two sides. It’s misrepresents a system in which there is one single, unified group that engages in violent, oppressive, lawless fascism… and then there is everyone else, covering a nearly infinite variety of ideologies and goals, and many of whom have no representation.

The phrase “both sides” as it is, itself, misinformation and propaganda.

Damn. 👊🏼

Let me clarify. I'm an imbecile who normally comments on porn and trash memes. I didn't put much thought into it besides "PSA: we're inclined to believe things that align with us! Make sure to check!" Because I gotta remind myself often because I believe most things I like. and think people also might appreciate being reminded. I just think too often in binary terms because (see above) I'm an idiot and it's all easier that way. But I'm always trying to grow and do better so I'll take your critique of my comment to heart.

I guess I'll try to phrase things less binarily in the future. Or keep it short. But thanks for keeping me on it.

Is it misinformation this time though?

God damn, this is an awesome level headed comment.

I like that you are BOTH right.

"Both sides" has definitely changed in meaning. Every time I read it I just assume it's some right wing dipshit trying to muddy the waters.

Your point is totally valid though, misinformation comes and can come from anywhere, especially online.

Keep up the good work both of you!

We need your particular set of skills to kidnap and possibly deflate a giant orange balloon that people keep pretending is human.

too bad this happened in the home of the Aryan Nation, it'll amount to thoughts and prayers

I truly hope firefighters nationwide make some noise against this shit with guns and mental health and press politicians to make changes via inaction during emergencies. this is absolutely fucking unacceptable and they should not ever fear additional life threatening forces while risking their lives and addressing crises

so fucking tired of psychos parading around their love of guns alongside their hatred. your god isn't fuckin real, your guns are not a "god given right"

your god isn’t fuckin real, your guns are not a “god given right”

Jesus would be going temple pharisee rampage and shoving their guns up their asses

These people are victims of targeted propaganda.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

These people are willing consumers of targeted propaganda.

Ftfy

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

By "propaganda" I mean lies and manipulation. By definition you can't consent to that.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think they probably have a dull little voice in the back of their head that they do their best to starve and keep locked in a little prison cell that tells them they shouldn't believe what they're seeing/hearing, and they ignore the voice and keep consuming Faux News etc.

It's people like those two that need their faces eaten by a leopard.

Those MAGA Republicans look like DEMOCRATS!

Don't believe you lying eyes!

No surprise they wear the mark of the beast on their foreheads.
