Or a Mossad agent…

Memes like this always irk me because, yes Russia is underhandedly influencing online discourse, but they are just one of many.

The Russian budget for online influence is dwarfed by the efforts of first world defense and intelligence agencies.

Yea it is ironic that the decendants of Holocaust survivors would go on to commit a genocide of their own

The war against nazism wasnt just fought on the battlefield, it was also fought on the cultural front.

edit: and even more importantly, the economic front as well.

Israel is an ultranationalist power which has lost its democracy and is now waging an offensive war for the purposes of territorial gain and ethnic cleansing.

In a word, they are Nazis.

Ask yourself: how did we eradicate the Nazi scourge? Then do that.

It’s not about the production cost, its about the opportunity cost.

A quick google search tells me a national ad costs $200k-$1m for a 30s slot. That means 5 seconds of screen time costs $30k-$150k.

I dont have an alternate source. I think the bot should be banned.

Because the source of its output is rightwing garbage, and the bot spams every post here.

The bot has no opinion, but its owners have an agenda.

Wow, the stupid bot thinks NBC news is left center too? Ridiculous.

Why even post if you’re going to add no information?

Worthless bot should be banned.

I think you’re splitting hairs here.

The difference between “aiding and abetting” and “comitting” are vanishingly small. Both crimes deserve the most severe condemnation, both crimes deserve the most severe punishment.

Perhaps this is the crux of our disagreement, because I think it is obvious that IBM, Dow, et al. should have been prosecuted for their role in the holocaust.

Our modern would would be much better off if these evil companies had faced justice, instead of allowing them to normalize their inhumanity.

Sadly our ancestors did not eradicate fascism, they just postponed it. We should learn from their weakness and their mistakes as we wage our modern fight against fascism.

I’m confused. Is he self aware?

Does he know that this is cringe, and yet posts it deliberately to increase engagement? Like a Facebook algorithm that has escaped and gained sentience, is he a demon driven to maximize user’s time on app at all costs?

Or is he the proverbial egotistical billionaire, surrounded by yes-men who have helped to lodge his head so far up his own ass that he actually believes tweets like this are cool and witty?

"Man I really wish Steve would stop doing that!

Anyway, here you go Steve I loaded a few more magazines for you, try not to hit innocents this time haha"

It is ghoulishly disingenuous to suggest that a nation making their 500th shipment of child-exploding munitions to a genocidal warlord is somehow less culpable.

Biden is like a negligent parent, letting his mentally disturbed 14-year-old have access to the family assault rifle. Maybe after the first shooting he could havd a credible defense. But by now Netanyahu is on his 2000th school shooting, and Biden is still providing weapons.

Biden might as well be shooting those Palestinian children himself, the blood is on his hands.

This sounds good on paper but it’s hard to imagine implementing it in a meaningful way.

For example, the #1 polluter in the world is the US Dept of Defense. Their crimes against the environment are so devastating and numerous, future generations will never forgive us for allowing it. You’re telling me the ICC would issue ecocide arrest warrants for US generals, secretary of state, and commander in chief?

I wish it would happen, but unfortunately this will probably be applied just like other ICC actions: A cudgel for stronger nations to punish misbehaving weaker nations, while never applying the same justice to powerful nations who misbehave.

When I started dealing drugs, I did it because my friends and I were smoking trash weed and we wanted to secure a good supply of quality product. It worked out well. My car was clean. I didn’t sell much.

A few years later when I turned 23 I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. My life fell apart, I was bedridden, I went through a medical bankruptcy. That is when I began to deal drugs to survive. For a few years I paid my bills by selling weed, ecstasy, adderall, mushrooms, acid from the bed where I spent 95% of my time. My car was dirty.

Was I just a regular person? I dont know

It’s a broad generalization, I’m not suggesting some new law of nature.

I think you have to ask: why are people dealing drugs?

Some people sell drugs because they are desperate. These people are dealing with extreme poverty, trauma, mental and physical health issues, etc. Their cars are messy.

Other people sell drugs because of the economic opportunity. In my experience, these people pride themselves on cleanliness, timeliness, and customer service. They have clean cars.

Did you even read my post before responding to it? It’s hard to have a discussion when all you do is regurgitate delusional Hasbara talking points.

All death tolls require a level of trust. We should not trust Hamas numbers blindly. But we can look at their history- Hamas have been releasing death counts from conflicts since at least 2008. After those conflicts subsided, the UN inspectors came in to question and confirm the Hamas numbers.

Hamas has literally received the gold-standard approval from the UN, time and time again, for the methodology and accuracy of their death counts.

The official Hamas number only includes bodies that have been bagged and tagged. This requires 1) a full or partial body able to be positively identified and 2) a functioning healthcare system able to do the identification.

Do you ever wonder why the official Hamas death toll has been stuck at around 30k for many months now, despite the near-daily massacres of 50, 100, or even 200 Palestinians at a time?
