  • antisemitic terrorist supporters

    Israel supporters?

    Jk. I know what you mean, but I genuinely would argue that. Calling not supporting nationalism and an ethnostate antisemitic is the actual antisemitism. Oh and terrorism is only terrorism when brown people do it, so can’t argue with that part. /s

    That aside… Your problem is there isn’t enough bots and propaganda on here compared to say reddit. I’d say that’s a good thing. Go back there if all you want is to circlejerk.








  • Disinformation has always been a problem, and it continues to be.

    Consider that the sky is only ever one colour at a time. Let’s say it’s blue rn just for simplicity. It’s not red, orange, yellow, etc. There can be more false statements made about this subject than there can be made a true statement. There will always be more misinformation than truth.

    Now, a lot of that misinformation is disqualified cause even the most propagandized person has eyes. But that doesn’t disqualify all of it.

    There are questions science won’t ever have a definitive answer to, because religion makes claims on them that are unfalsifiable. Part of it is just that people need an answer to those.

    I left Islam, and while I wish all muslims would do the same, it required me ro go through a series of existential crises I’d be hesitant to force on my worst enemy.

    There are plenty of other factors to consider too, traditonalism, the way the human brain forms neural pathways and how it is harder to get rid of a pathway than it is to form new ones from that, nationalism or the use governments and powerful people have for religion…

    The good news when it comes to propaganda though is that if those in power don’t constantly exert control over the masses, then their entire hierarchy would collapse pretty quickly.

    I find it interesting that even then they slip up. Not Christian but ex Muslim, and even if I had stuck to learning only what Iranians mullahs and the nationalized education system wanted me to learn, I would still think Wtf is this BS?! And just that did happen.

    Religious nut jobs and authoritarians have their sense of morality so twisted they see some of the fucked up parts of their beliefs as normal for others as well.

    Well, if they were capable of empathy they probably wouldn’t be in that position.
