Just americans americanning. Only this time, it's not in the Middle East.
American expeditions in the ~~middle~~ east where the new thing even. Meddling in the middle and south america is the OG of US imperialism. The Monroe doctrine goes back 200 years at this point
I mean.... It is business as usual. Doesn't mean it shouldn't be called out as wrong, but let's be honest here.
Just liberalism doing what liberalism does.

Fediverse vs Disinformation
2360 readers

Pointing out, debunking, and spreading awareness about state- and company-sponsored astroturfing on Lemmy and elsewhere. This includes social media manipulation, propaganda, and disinformation campaigns, among others.
Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.
What's the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.
By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.
