Journalists publishing in the lancet and doing peer review? I rest my case.

How about taking about the elephant in the room that is British + French colonialism plus the establishment of a genocidal apartheid settler colony along with US driven regime changes through funding terrorist groups or just outright invasions?

It’s so damn lazy to blame all of this on religion.

You do not seem to understand how peer review let alone scientific research works and what kind of rigor is required to get your research published in an A* journal and I’ll leave it at that.

Yeah just to be sure to mention this DW is centre-right in Germany kinda like any other mass media here.

Boohoo let’s form an SA and do some pogroms then! Clearly some poor fuckers in a hotel are the reason for the misery, not the €28 billion net worth of the British royals or the owning class in general that fills it pockets through years of Tory rule and shifting the Overton window so far to the right that anyone who speaks of helping the poor is considered to be the reincarnation of Karl Marx himself.

I would like to find nicer words but at this point working class right wingers to me seem like they have brain damage. You can’t be doing mental gymnastics to this extend and have a healthy functioning brain at the same time.

I agree with this and I don’t think this bot adds any value given that it’s so damn biased itself. I would love to consume more left wing mass media, but from a Western European perspective sadly something like that barely exists. I also wouldn’t call The Guardian Centre-left like MBFC but rather centrist, as they are imo balancing the sides for as much as anyone can, but they are not my idea of a leftwing media outlet.

Yeah I’m actually paid by Hamas, Iran and Putin.

Edit: /s obviously because this is the internet.

Ah yeah I had no idea you’re that kind of person. Well let me phrase it this way: I don’t care what you claim exists or doesn’t exist. As long as the USA don’t apply their standards to everyone which includes the genocidal apartheid settler colonialist project and its terrorist leaders I couldn’t care less who they call terrorist or who they sanction. They can do it but they have no moral authority to claim that it is in the name of humanitarian values.

I suggest starting with the Wikipedia Article on Axel Springer to understand what’s wrong with them. If you already know and you don’t care that explains a lot, but judging from the votes and the comments, most other people also don’t find your article interesting. That together with your style of communication are really not contributing a lot here. Posting ≠ contributing.

I agree but I rather worry that they’ll take over here as well because more people read this and are like „wtf I’m out“. That’s what happened with me on Reddit too. I was still lurking before the blackout but it was often already kinda bad.

However now if I look at Reddit it’s no different than Facebook or instagram because I assume many mods left, and I mean those who actually cared about their community vs being in power. I think it’s bad if these „opinions“ are here, even though they get downvoted to oblivion. They will just poison the discourse.

And don’t get me wrong, plurality of opinion is very important. But Nazi bots do not play by the rules, they do not contribute to said plurality, they want to destroy it and take over any space where people exchange opinions.

It happens all the time but it’s a bit hard to find them because the media doesn’t treat Palestinian-Americans the same way it treats Israeli-Americans. Palestinian dead is unfortunately not newsworthy or at least not headline worthy. Here’s one article anyway: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/02/23/world/palestinian-americans-demand-answers-invs/index.html

This is about the West Bank not Gaza, but given that there’s virtually no Hamas in West Bank this imo makes the terrorism charges even stronger.

That being said I think you have a point that there are some frameworks to follow. My problem is that the US only considers their enemies terrorists and doesn’t care about their own / their allies‘ war crimes, hence their hostility towards the ICC.

Likud consisted of terror organizations before becoming a political party. Doesn‘t stop Western politicians from simping for them. Again, I’m not a fan of Hamas but when they took over Gaza they became the government. Yet, we labeled them terrorists and still consider them as such.

You could then say „yeah but no Palestinian state exists“ and I would say that again, the USA do not recognize Palestine as opposed to most countries on this planet. That and the siege on Gaza since 2007 make it pretty much impossible to act as a state even though Palestinians want to do that since the British mandate period, hell since it was ruled by the Ottomans.

I hope you get what I mean, the rules are only the rules for some.

I mean you being condescending isn’t exactly contributing to the culture here and maybe it’s contributing more to not post low quality content than posting just for the sake of it.
