Meanwhile, Palestinian prisoners are stripped naked and sexually assaulted regularly.

I would normally reserve judgement on this, but it really fits in with the whole genocide thing.

No need to project, she's stating facts:

This is exactly why debatebro culture is like this. The more time you spend debating the facts the less energy you have for convincing people away from their nazi talking points. It's the biggest reason why "prove it" is so often used by fascists to shut down conversations they don't like.

IDF is fascist organization.

All imperialist militaries are, they're just open and proud of the fact.

Sad but telling mainstream media won't cover their source "organization" for rape is one woman that collected some headlines.

It could be true ten times over and still justify none of what's happening.

I worry that this is where Republican talking heads are taking America. Too much information from too many places and too much of it is wrong. It waters down the solidity of society.

Republicans are always going to lie, that’s just their nature. The news media has completely failed us for their inability to call out these lies, due to their desire for access to those in power.

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 5 points 6 months ago

They have been at it for a few decades now.

NYT are running debunked disinformation from Zionist propagandists. They can stuff it.

Not going to listen to a publication that not even half a year ago was all in on fucking NFTs.

Still more credibility than the opening greeting in a Fox News broadcast

Everyone is either a polite fascist or a rude fascist and there are no other options

Stop boiling this down to just Republicans. Dems do this shit as well. In this context the issues is not a Left or Right or Left vs Right Issue. Is an Up vs Down issue. For the record, I am left.

Those in power think they know better than stupid you or me and will try to get away and lie with what they can and get away with, to all of us, because they think most of us are stupid or gullible. Tale as old as time.

If you are on the Left, you most probably notice the shit on the Right because it is farther away from things you agree with/worldview in the general. So it is more obvious to you, but Dems do the same general corrupt type of shit as well. You likely have a blindspot and if you think you don't, you are lying to yourself. Just like people on the Right will see the Left shit better than their own because their own bias and miss their own due to their blindspots. They want all of us to be petty. Works for them.

Man, I miss the Spirit of the Occupy XXX movememt, of the early 2010's, the wealthy and powerful, from both sides got actually scared and worried, if for only a little bit before political correctness distracted everyone and made people fight over trivial things instead of the economy, foreign relations, unions, and going after banks, Pharma, the military complex and other huge corps. Stuff that actually affects everyone and not some tiny minority.
