    the only super power locked in a provable genocide, is china This statement is absolutely false. Isreal genocide is almost exlusively funded by the US.

    we’re simultaneously bringing food into Gaza while also supporting its destruction Small amounts of food into gaza is PR and changes nothing in the big picture. There is a big difference in amount of money sent for weapons to Isreal and food to Gaza. You can send few trucks of food, get pirctures, run it in media, and then silently give billions for weapons. There is no two sides of this, US government is fully running a genocide in Gaza with full knowledge and intent. There is nothing that Chinese government does that US and Russia government don’t do as well. There is only difference in the media coverege of these things in each of the countries and is the result of difference in opinion between people who are exposed to that media.




  • It was an article about how we got into this problem in the first place and therefor how we need to go about fixing it. You can’t fix problems by only listing the media narrative that currently suits them without looking for the context in the bigger picture and dealing with the cause instead of the symptom.

    Most of the new articles do exactly the opposite, they get us into making the problem worse by voting for the party that got him elected, the same problematic person they are running against in the first place. Just so they can do what they are doing now and have been doing since then, pretend that they are better alternative, while still supporting him because they need him to scare the voters into voting for them.







  • This nationalism that you are maybe by mistake promoting is a tool for people in power to give them more power and not unite together against them. Stabilization of a country you are talking about is unfortunately stability of the rich politicians to rule over poor people while they suffer and die. That is a stable system that we shouldn’t defend. This system shouldn’t be stable, it should crumble and people of all nations should unite in their fight against their politicians, not foolishly support their leaders just because they are from their own region.

    Russian, Chinese and US government have more in common then any of their citizens do with their governments. Same goes for politicians inside a country, like Biden and Trump. They fight each other for more power, but they easily unite against people that threaten their power. Don’t think for a second that if US citizens went against their government, Biden (or Trump) wouldn’t ask for (and receive) support from Russian and Chinese government.

    It is not US vs China or Russia, it is governments vs the people. Other narratives are just tools to divide people, nationalism was built for this purpose. For centuries regular people didn’t feel like part of a certain nation, it was years of successful propaganda that got people thinking like they have more in common then just some same tyrant ruling over them.



  • I don’t think anyone is funding anything on lemmy, we are too small of a userbase. And in other media, I am sure that every politician who has an interest will use any oprotunity for their advantage, however we shouldn’t forget the fact that this is actually the case. Biden is actually sidesteping congress to send support to Israel, in fact, without it, Israel would have no chance in actually doing it. US government is fully funding this genocide.



  • At some point you will have to accept the reality that people simply disagree with you and that it is not some kind of Kremlin propaganda. Biden and Trump and Hamas and Netanyahu are all bad and they all help each other in order to have someone to fight against in public to justify their position in power. You are falling for government propaganda yourself, google Netanyahy supporting Hamas or Hilary supporting Trump and you can figure it out by yourself. You are literally falling for their plan they bragged about themselves or was leaked in their emails with cryptographic proof. They are making you a fool for their games.


  • No, he is supporting his own interests, like every other politician. It is not a Russian narrative, it is a well documented fact. Netanyahu is the one that is funding Hamas, so he can justify his actions. Just like Hilary made Trump a Republican candidate, so they would have an easier win. Or why US government has a long history of arming the terrorists in Middle East, just so they can justify a war afterwards. Iran is a great example of this.




  • We shouldn’t feel so easily defeated. We can make things better, being passive is what makes it easier for those in power to make it worse. We can make things a lot better, we don’t need to be ok with genocide so that some idiot that Democrates funded to be Republican candidate doesn’t win. I just kinda feel like their plan to make us submissive actually worked.

    witnessing a genocide

    *funding the genocide

    In fact they are not only purposely funding the genocide, they are actively ignoring majority of people against it, even surpassing the senate just to be sure they can send the money to Israel quickly

    Actually since TikTok is where most of the popular support for Palestine is from and probably why after decades of this genocide it finally became well-known, they are trying to shut it down, since China won’t censor it for them. Classic fascist moves from the government.


  • A classic authoritarian tactic is to make people think that other governments are worse and that only giving away your freedoms and giving power to them is the way to fight it. TikTok became to risky for the government not because of China’s propaganda, but because China didn’t want to ban or deprioritize posts against genocide in Palestine funded by the US government. When any government feels treatened they censor the media and call it propaganda from another country. This is prime example that US is not better then China or Russia when it comes to it, only that so far it was their companies that were more popular, so they didn’t need to.
