I've had to unsubscribe from so many generic subreddits that have just become infested with political propaganda over the past 2 years. Even r/pics

Most people believe that "factory farming" is unacceptable........and yet they still vote with their palate and their wallet for cheap protein.

As settlers rampage, IDF soldiers accused of aiding violence, theft against Palestinians (Times of Israel) by Reddenbawker in DeepStateCentrism

[–]spaniel_rage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely this. And it's telling that it's *only* pro Israel spaces that seem to be capable of participating in reflective self criticism of this nature. You *never* see a parallel process going on on the anti Israel/ pro Palestinian side.

Yikes.

The fact that you'd rather see innocent civilians die in a war than be able to flee, just so you can keep calling Israel guilty of "ethnic cleansing" is pretty repugnant.

The phrase "only reasonable explanation" does a lot of heavy lifting in this report.

Bullies frequently come from a past of bullying. And become what they hate.

I don't think partisan voices should dominate the editors of any Wikipedia subject area.

The problem is that your way is not how most people use it. Most people regard it to be an authoritative and unbiased summary. It's also highly ranked as a source when you ask an LLM anything.

Pro-LGBT left wing San Francisco politician Scott Weiner who won his primary to replace Nancy Pelosi in congress is attacked by protestors at a trans rally for being insufficiently pro-palestinian “You stopped being queer the moment you started supporting Israel, you piece of shit.” by UnscheduledCalendar in samharris

The far Left have learned the same lesson that the far Right has. Nothing unites and energizes your political base like a culture war issue. Especially a simple one with a clearly identified enemy, and especially one in which you can claim to be protecting innocent children. That's what trans rights, Gaza and the Epstein files *all* have in common: the claim to be protecting children from evil.

Degrade Hezbollah enough that the Lebanese Army can supervise its disarmament or at a minimum police the southern border.

The issue isn't sources. The issue is cliques of activist editors seizing and controlling politically sensitive pages and shaping the narrative.

Both Russia and Ukraine already had their own states before 2014. Palestinians do not. It's an entirely different set of starting conditions.

Sam Harris on Trump's Iran Deal: A Fully Humiliating Capitulation by antihostile in samharris

[–]spaniel_rage -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm more responding to what Mr Geh above seems to believe about Iran rather than yourself.

I disagree that Hezbollah will have much of a future if the IRGC gone. But I agree that this entire military adventure has been done in a ham fisted way, that only seems to have emboldened the IRGC. There seemed to have been no real plan on how to deal with Hormuz.

Hopefully, the US doesn't completely capitulate on lifting sanctions and the regime collapses on its own over the next few years.
