That’s probably in reference to the US invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq that ended without consequences with the world watching the “show”. And now Putler wants his own show of war crimes where the world watches on and will not hold him responsible.

don’t forget Xitler.

We also saw Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Palestine (currently) happen on the news. It is very much suppressed by the state and media. Most of the US thanks its war criminals for their “service.”

It’s not just about “seeing it happen on the news.” You aren’t fooling anyone.

saying and doing are two different things. There’s a saying, you might’ve heard “Actions speak louder than words.”

But people never seeing beyond the “my team” mentality, thinking that atrocities are washed away, and character is built with a PR statement are the reason Trump is president.

Guy hold a bible for a photo op and he’s now a messiah for half the country and every bad thing he’s done is magically fine…

Are we in fucking in the 1800s?

Some RSS have tracking links which tracks the traffic is from a RSS feed. Also those links can be dynamically generated if RSS gets popular enough. Google alerts feed and news feed alreadu does this, I think.

So yeah, it “mostly” doesn’t track you because there’s negligible number of people who use RSS.

Reddit at this point a psyop for multiple different countries, political parties, celebrities, influenzars and such. US, Israel, China, Russia, India, Pakistan, and others have Internet task force to push propaganda and limit negative PR.

Votes aren’t public in reddit and is a great cover for hiding any coordinated influence. Keep creating new accounts, make it seem natural by posting on random subs, use old accounts for posts/comments and new accounts for votes. To an unsuspecting user, nothing seems out of ordinary.

On ActivityPub all votes are public and manipulation can be detected or analyzed now or in future. Instance admins could check this and see a pattern. And there are many many many instances, so any one might run into something.

Also mod logs are public in lemmy, unlike reddit. Censorship from mods and admins are already a constant cause for drama but makes it a lot more transparent for the community.

So it’s less influential. So, they try to dissuade people from making Lemmy and Mastodon less interesting.

I’m not saying it’s not possible here, but it’s too early and needs a lot more work than reddit. People already do not interact with users from instances they dislike. You already see some patterns in how users of instance behave and avoid them.

On May 21st, 1979, Dan White was convicted of voluntary manslaughter, widely perceived to be the lightest possible sentence for his actions. His lawyers successfully argued that White was depressed, citing how much junk food he consumed. This was pejoratively dubbed the “Twinkie Defense”.

As one man ignited a cop car, he shouted to a reporter “Make sure you put in the paper that I ate too many Twinkies!”

Absolute Madlad

Votes are going to do nothing (as obvious for decades). Sanction US for its warcrimes and funding of genocide, if you really give a damn.

Quit virtue signalling against fascist states.

Best they can do is tell you “I told you so.” and tour around the country while fascists take over.

dedublication? Omg, that’s one of the most annoying thing in lemmy.

will try now

The originazi supporting neonazis.

because of the numbers of users (most likely gamers who have friends already on the platform as well) who already have discord? idk

The “great” in “Make Amerikkka Great Again”

these estimates are going to change a billions of times and humans are probably not going to be there for the most of it.

I like how you wanks use the same arguments as easy wins like “We have freedom of speech, do you?” or “The people are outnumber the government army, we have 2nd ammendment for a reason”

But when it really comes down to it, there’s an long essay like yours on how it’s fucking not practical like EVERYONE ELSE WAS SAYING ALL ALONG.

It’s like the world had already figured different scenarios and the likely outcome , but you ate the propaganda shit and now you have to fester in it.

That’s very mean. I hope you don’t let it get to you.

It’s like they spent a lot in propaganda to differentiate between US and US tech giants vs China and Chinese tech giants but they’re essentially the same.

why do you think one of the richest man doesn’t have “that” influence at a company he founded anymore?

you seem to be all over the thread defending gates. Do you really think this is how a good willed person helps people? by preventing vaccine patents, and using impoverished kids for testing.

He’s creating pathway to funnel his money where he wants it, his own family, with least criticism, and defended by short sighted stringent followers like you.
