Says the one with the profile that says “Swiss Pan-European Nationalist”. By the way, whataboutism is when you bring up an unrelated topic to distract from the current topic. It’s not whataboutism to point out the accusing side doing the exact same thing, that is simply called pointing out hypocrisy.

It could be argued that Israel is free to unleash their campaign of genocide because the people in Israel do not experience the horrors themselves. There is no pressure to reach an agreement. Bringing the hostages back has been the only rallying cry by Israelis, but other than that, actually ending the genocide doesn’t have much support.

It’s similar to how so many consumer goods are produced through the use of slavery. That distance and lack of visibility mean there is little pressure from consumers to stop those practices.

Who is the OAuth provider in this case? The instance you sign up on? That’s already the case.

That’s why people throw tomatoes when they want someone to get off the stage.

Not bad for a peak!

They’ve been desperately begging for multiple rate cuts for a while now. I wonder how they’ll react if they don’t get that hit they want so badly.

What else would I stroke while thinking? 🤔

I’m glad Nintendo is finally starting to realize the potential of playable Zelda. Her style of gameplay will put a fresh new spin on the series. I also hope to see somewhere down the line a game where you can choose to play as either Zelda or Link and your choice will give you a different experience and cause puzzles to have different solutions, which would be good for a replay. Such a game would also have the potential for two-player co-op with vastly different abilities.

That’s true to some extent. I don’t agree with hard censorship like that, but there is also the risk of getting astroturfed and brigaded like reddit, which had a clear example as far back as 2013 where Eglin Air Force Base, FL showed up as “most addicted city”. The goal of censorship is to give your own opinions more space, so I’m not exactly upset if other instances are moderated in a different way when there are plenty of other instances moderated in a different way. The fediverse offers plenty of space.

Clearly the American point of view is neutral, the default, and the truth, so it doesn’t count as propaganda.

The onslaught of fediverse karen posts about lemmy.ml continues.

You mean like all the biden supporters on here defending his support for genocide?

I bought a Switch near launch, but I think I’ll opt to instead wait to emulate the Switch 2 to spite them.

That Amazing Hebereke game seems like a proto Power Stone.

I’m pointing out that they’re dismissing all opposing views as propaganda from shills, which itself is not contributing anything or in fact contributing negative value because it reduces discussions down to “my opinion is the one real truth and anyone who disagrees is a shill”. Pointing this out is my contribution, but for some reason this needs to be argued to the point of meaninglessness.

Some operations are more careful than others and I’m sure lessons have been learned since 2013. Meanwhile you think somehow China’s and Russia’s operations are more sophisticated because your media uncovers them?

and you think this entitles you to be commissar dictating what everyone on this instance gets to see or not see? If I call you fascist enough times, does that mean your posts can be blocked for everyone?

It’s a good indicator that what you said was worthy of mockery. Mockery is a reasonable response for someone who thinks everyone you disagree with is a shill and that all ideas that you disagree with are propaganda.

My response was plenty reasonable given your unreasonable claim that somehow the most powerful country in the word with the most sophisticated media machine got “caught flat-footed” in the modern disinformation game. They were heavily astroturfing reddit as far back as 2013 and have probably been at it for longer: https://web.archive.org/web/20160604042751/http://www.redditblog.com/2013/05/get-ready-for-global-reddit-meetup-day.html

You know, unless you think the eglin air force base were just superfans of reddit. That’s just reddit, now imagine more important platforms.
