Speaking as a 47 year old former lib: The propaganda worked quite well on me until recently, like ten or so years ago.

If you do not look into it and educate yourself on the reality, it is easy to believe the idea that Israel is allowed to “defend itself” because, after the Holocaust, the Jews got together and decided not to take any more shit. The idea is that they occupied an empty desert in Palestine, called it Israel, and got attacked from all sides by the surrounding Arab states and would happily stop shooting if the Arabs stopped attacking them.

The second layer of propaganda says that it’s not that simple, that Israel kills more in response to these attacks than they should, but it’s still a complex situation and we westerners shouldn’t meddle with it because we are ignorant.

The truth finished landing on me around Oct 7, since I’d spent years at that point listening to actual Palestinian people, studying history, etc and knew that Israel was a brutal colonial project of apartheid that was becoming a proper theocracy, but was momentarily fooled by the false reports of brutality by Hamas fighters.

The first hospital bombing ended all sympathy for Israel.

A true trash goblin.

I wish they did, mate.

Ha! Ironic.

Does the Internet Archive have any records of the internet in China? I am not familiar with its practices.

There are definitely retro video gaming preservation sites around, but I do not know of them.

You might also want to make an account and ask on hexbear or lemmy.ml, lemmy.world has a weird anti-China bias even for politically neutral stuff like this.

Yet more evidence that she never went to actual classes in school.

Good article. Wish it was in a place everyone could see it.

Actually not terrible. Wow.

Good. This is fucking vital!

One thing I really love about Archer is that he’s not ultracompetent. He’s just this really good engineer from anywhere, America, and what drives him and makes him great is his passion for standing humanity up on its own, able to make its own way without the Vulcans holding their hand.

Interesting. Why haven’t new space customers turned up now that launches are far cheaper?

This is the future liberals want!

Genius! Promotion! Hire this legend!

(meant in a totally positive way btw, not a being a dick way)

It is definitely all about the discovery.

They can’t do that, Trump controls the DOJ.

That’s fine under this law because it directly targets Muslim religious observance.

Ha! You fool! You think there’s infinite electrons to put in your dastardly e-buckets???!!!?

Instead we have a demented queen.

Don’t worry, they’ll fix the machines soon, and they will be able to go above 10. All is well.

Nice 360° view though.
