      Your comment, while accurate and true, adds nothing to the discussion at hand. These sort of comments are useless which should be left in the realm of Reddit. Do better, try harder

      “Sky is blue” “water is wet” were first recognized by Russian propagandists to disarm outrage. As In, essentially telling people “You’re stupid if you didn’t already know this.” For people out of the loop, it works.

      Informing people of this technique is bad for some reason

      Edit: Even when attempting to politely Inform someone they are using propaganda techniques you get pedantic hate from people who claim to be progressives.

        Nah, you’re just being a smug pos and coming off like a gatekeeper. But keep crying about how progressives are being mean to you.

        Also, calling someone stupid isn’t “politely informing”.

          I never claimed authority here. I identify and understand propaganda. Lemmy seems to be full of critical thinking adults who understand such things and the bad habits of cesspool Reddit. I believe everyone agrees the negatives of Reddit need to die, with Reddit.

          Repeatedly attacking other users gets your comments removed and earns you a 3 day timeout.

          Acting just like a trump supporter spewing vitriolic hate. This is supposed to be a place of civil debate, way to go, dumb it down, Juvenile and trashy

          This guy has multiple accounts to downvote and manipulate votes, no life or love, so petty, I bet his family hates him

        Lol, I sure am hurting your feelings, huh? And how does me calling you out make me any less of a progressive? Such a baby.

    It’s nice to see centrists finally pull back their support for genocide.

    Centrists are now acting like they weren’t ever fully on board with selling weapons to Netanyahu for genocide.

    The standard response to “Biden should stop supporting genocide” was “You think Trump would be better?” followed by abuse and false accusations.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Rep. Cory Mills wants to impeach President Joe Biden for withholding military aid to Israel that the Florida Republican voted against — twice.

    Mills, a freshman lawmaker and former arms dealer, argued that Biden’s move amounted to a quid pro quo.

    “Joe Biden is pressuring Israel, our biggest ally in the Middle East, by pausing their funding that has already been approved in the House, if they don’t stop all operations with Hamas,” Mills told Fox News.

    While otherwise staunchly pro-Israel, Mills has said that he is only supportive of a version of the Israel aid package that included billions in cuts to the Internal Revenue Service — a complete non-starter for Democrats, who control the Senate and White House.

    Trump was impeached in part for engaging in a corrupt scheme to benefit himself politically, while Biden is withholding the aid out of concern about Israel’s conduct — something that President Ronald Reagan did in 1983.

    I have submitted to House counsel and will pursue action tomorrow morning using the Dems’s own language, but Biden’s actual abuse of… pic.twitter.com/bYHrMUG1qr
