If you go over to astroturfed reddit, there is no shortage of topvoted comments cheering the IDF for bombing children by saying “they’re all hamas.”

The same rhetoric Hamas probably used to justify killing Israeli civilians. But it’s okay if Israel does it, because you know.

Yeah, I just meant it was a lame joke befitting of reddit comedians and their fans.

It’s because people are proud to lower their standards for what they can get.

They see that the ruling class is tightening its grip, so they convince themselves that this is the best way to go to avoid feeling bad about what we’re missing out on.

Really shitty article.

Just give us the facts without all the dramatization.

You mean reddit humor?

Thanks for explaining.

It’s much clearer now.

That’s fair. I was comparing prices of houses outside of major cities since the vast majority of Americans will never be able to afford a house in or around one.

Doesn’t the right wing love funding the MIC?

I wonder what their real reasons for doing this are.

Most nations love supporting the MIC.

I haven’t been paying close attention since Israel, but it seemed like people were starting to realize that Ukraine might not be able to win after all. Funding losing wars is still beneficial for the MIC though, so maybe something else is at play.

🥱

Gonna block you now. Sorry I gave you the chance, lol.

Maybe stop trying to manufacture outrage.

Housing is way cheaper in rural Mississippi than rural Texas.

You may be able to find similarly priced houses in Texas, but they will often be dilapidated compared to what you’ll find in Mississippi.

You seem like the kind of person who thinks life outside of major cities doesn’t matter, so I don’t expect you to care about the price of homes outside of major cities.

I don’t see people saying that.

Yes, even encouraged.

I think a lot of them do it on purpose because they know it will drive up engagement with people posting about the shitty titles.

Anyone else find it weird how it’s not okay to be anti-semetic, but it’s okay to be: anti-Chinese, anti-Russian, and anti-muslim?

Honestly looked like it was someones goal to turn it into what it looks like now.

Ding ding ding. Moderators have only become less impartial as time went on with reddit.

A public modlog is absolutely necessary to hold mods accountable, which is why reddit doesn’t have one and none of the mods advocate for it.

I believe, wholeheartedly, that governments pay people to astroturf reddit.

They’ve gotten it down to a science at this point. Something I always notice now is people arguing against arguments that don’t exist. They’ll be like “I can’t believe people are saying x” when nobody is actually saying x.

It’s that kind of manufactured outrage, the kind that makes people feel like they’re missing out, that causes them to pretend to understand what’s going on in order to fit in.

It’s sad and disgusting, but I don’t even bother with reddit anymore. It’s too obvious that everyone there is either a shill or an idiot.

Lemmy appears to have gotten all the high-quality posters that reddit used to be good for.

I dunno. This just seems like one of those stupid talking points that sounds clever on the surface but when you actually think about it, it’s dumb as hell.

Like, are you really stupid enough to believe Hamas would sabotage any legitimate chance of getting Jews out of Israel because they prefer Gazans to be oppressed? Nah. They’d rather be in control of Israel.

Unfortunately, the snowball effect has already taken hold, so those who can’t think for themselves will just parrot what you’re saying without second thought in order to fit in.
