TIL go is an interpreted language and runs straight from source code!

ah right thanks. potato potato not like either phrase is true lol

worlds most ethical army

I can handle nonsense but please don’t call me a liberal.

Can you point to the part you want me to engage with? Half your comments are you fantasizing about me so I’m not sure what you’re even trying to tell me.

I didn’t need to put this into anything because the writing style tells me everything I need to know. Highly opinionated. Essays posing as news. Opinion underlaid with paper-thin “arguments”. It’s the same that was around during covid spreading misinformation about vaccines and masks. The disinformation itself is not the goal. The goal is to capitalize on people’s fear and isolate them. Make them easy to manipulate later on.

It’s not a new strategy either. Fear and hate have always been tools in the hands of the powerful. If you think the West has a monopoly on that, you’re sorely mistaken.

Fuck Westerm hegemony and capitalism, sure. But also fuck Putin. Fuck all oligarchs.

What the fuck are you even talking about? I’ve said nothing about Ukraine. Do you call everyone who disagrees with you a liberal? That is a rude insult to sling around in these parts.

Your post got rained in downvotes despite being posted on lemmy.ml. Clearly I’m not the only one who can tell this is trash

No, I mean the Naomi Klein that voices pro-palestinian opinions in the book. Here’s a highly israel-critical interview.

This is what I mean. Blind dogma and hatred will make you turn against those who should be your allies.

The difference between journalism and propaganda to you is whether a western source is saying it or a country which is no longer controlled by the western financial apparatus

What makes you think this?

I haven’t been trained to question, that’s true. I learned. You only learned to be scared apparently, and you’re currently in training to dismiss facts altogether. I suggest you drop out of that curriculum

Oh I do. But I want journalists to tell me about it, not propaganda outlets. This article is written to make me angry, not to emancipate or enlighten me. It wants to manipulate me.

If I may recommend a book, Doppelganger by Naomi Klein. It’s about exactly the difference between

1. investigative journalists that do their due diligence to uncover actual conspiracies
2. conspiracy nutjobs that just believe and share every conspiracy they hear, and ironically, often end up serving oligarchs by doing so.

If anger becomes more important than truth, we become tools in the hands of the powerful. Choose truth

This is just right wing and conspiracy theorist bs. I’m not saying there is no censorship but this is misinformation designed to confuse people, sow distrust, and make them susceptible to more misinformation so they can be influenced politically.

This kind of shit really took off in 2020 and if you’re still falling for it, please take your life back in control. If we’re gonna criticize the West, let’s take a fact-based approach.

Oh woops! Thanks

what flag is that I am badly educated apparently

It’s true I was there. I was the racism

It’s really the first couple minutes that are critical

pick a community please <3 I don’t wanna see the same meme on my feed multiple times

ahhhh thanks so much

The Olympics were cool but the mental gymnastics here are far more impressive

I still don’t get it haha

did you understand the joke OP was trying to make?
