Israel keeps trying to provoke a larger conflict; any bartender would have cut them off and kicked them out long time ago.

B’Tselem must be antisemitic also

In general I believe all online communities are toxic when it comes to political discussion and just enable cult behavior. I think both Facebook and the fediverse have the ability to sway options, but at different capacities.

Facebook is simple and easy to use, and because of that it’s widely adopted and you make connections through people you (kinda sorta) know irl. This leads to a false sense of security and can poison your bubble of connections.

With vote manipulation, whitewash communities, brigading, bots, and general anonymity, the fediverse is not any better equipped to deal with “alternative facts.” It being more niche and less user friendly weeds out some people, and you are left with a user base that has slightly more education and decision making skills…but no one is completely immune to manipulative tactics. Bots with agendas are not always easy to identify and continue getting more refined. It’s easy to lose track of the push & pull if you are chronically online…which many fediverse users are.

I don’t have any solutions other than attempting to educate on how to spot misinformation and approach ideas critically. Even with doing that it’s far for 100% and that number keeps declining with age.

Biden’s got a genocidin’ chub

Will it last? Will it do anything to stop the war crimes?

There is a lot to be gained by politically astroturfing, and that is already widespread in the fediverse

.ml won’t talk about the Uyghurs, and .world justifies Israel’s war crimes in Gaza.

Biden is working on setting up a coup in Lebanon

Joe Fucking Biden

They exist because America’s war on drugs and America’s appetite for drugs

You’re either trolling or very naive

That is not something I would take as fact. Questionable polling at best, and it’s laughable to say it’s what the American people want when they have no say in the matter. The powers at be will not allow candidates to be critical of Israel…ie the PACs that choose which candidates are on the national ticket. I’m sure if the American people were able to vote on this issue, funding to Israel would cease immediately.

The genocide is real. Those are words, and 100% more cynical than thoughts and prayers

Ngl, I thought “Talib Slams” was an autocorrect misfire on “Taliban”

No worries, it’s a tense situation that most of us are unhappy about. The gaslighting and whitewashing of the situation by the current administration is something I believe that needs to be called out and challenged. It’s all a hot mess but we should always demand better from those with the power to make change
