Surely you mean “responsive mis-, dis-, and mal-information mitigation tooling” 😐

At the moment they seem to be overplaying that hand.

FAFO aside, this couldn’t happen to nicer finance industry ghouls 🔎_🎻

Edit to add: Dollars to donuts the US government prints money to make them whole.

I don’t let people get away with laying all the blame on Israel and/or Zionists and/or AIPAC. Copypasting myself:

it’s not like AIPAC is super popular with American Jews either.

It’s been super popular with Zionist American Jews. It’s also popular with the vastly larger number of non-Jewish Zionists. Quite a bit of this is coming from Christian conservatives. AIPAC Not Just for Jews Anymore

any country could basically do it.

Not really: the US would shut it down if it ran up against US interests enough. But Israel doesn’t run up against US interests; it’s in line with them. Israel is the US’ unsinkable aircraft carrier in West Asia. As Biden has said throughout his career, “Were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region.” A lot of this money and influence is coming from the US military-industrial complex.

Israel isn’t a case of the tail wagging the dog. It’s a symbiotic relationship.

It’s not really colonialism; it’s a return.

The US can survive without Isn’treal, but I don’t think the reverse is true. They need our UNSC veto, military/intelligence support, and yearly billions in aid.

I think this article from a US NGO (Global Energy Monitor) provides overwhelming evidence that they already are.

• the US does not want to see Hamas being the “governing authority” in Gaza
• we do not want to see Hamas in charge of Gaza any more

And I want a pony—so fucking what?

My understanding is that the International Caucasian Court was created by the rules-based international order specifically as an alternative to the international law-based ICJ, which they felt wasn’t subservient enough to them.

I may have run across it on Lemmy. The thing is, many Israelis are steeped in the hasbara handbook and do it for free. I think paid vs volunteer hasbara trolling is a distinction without a difference.

US Cannot Control Israel

Utter bullshit, but message received loud & clear.

Why else intentionally cart one’s toddler human shield into the middle of a protest and cry crocodile tears.

Had she been living in a bubble her entire life, or is she a very convincing crisis actor?

I’m not familiar with New Atheism’s origins, but if it wasn’t created as War on Terror apologia, it certainly was used that way by Dawkins, Harris, Hitchens, and many others. As a lifelong atheist who saw through the Iraq WMD lies from the start, I was horrified to watch how New Atheism played out.

Why the arguments of the ‘New Atheists’ are often just as violent as religion

Celebrity atheists such as Richard Dawkins appear to claim the moral high ground when it comes to violence. Dawkins, along with Sam Harris and the late Christopher Hitchens, insist that because religion is intrinsically violent, then atheism is inherently more pacific. After all, if all the evils in the world can be blamed on religion, then arguably eliminating religion is not only desirable but a moral obligation for atheists who believe in peace.

Yet our research shows that in the War on Terror, these atheists have been surprisingly willing to align themselves with policies which are at least as violent – and in some cases more so – than many of those perpetrated in the name of religion.

This guy looks so much like this other, more famous short-form satirical vlogger, whose name I don’t know and don’t know how to find.

Not at all, but if you want to know, he’s some shitty sitcom actor.
