There is plenty of propaganda on lemmy. You just have to realize you will always be fed propaganda and understand there is propaganda on each side of every issue...
There is incomparably more propaganda here then anywhere else. On reddit politics are kept out of most subs that are not specifically discussing politics, here everyone uses every opportunity to push whatever agenda they happen to have
The thing about this is fuck all Americans to death amirite?
If that's how I gotta go
The sheer amount of pro palestinian / pro hamas content around here...
That is two very different things. One is a terrorist group, the other are just humans trying to live their lives in safety. Same with Israel. The people are humans trying to live their lives in safety, but Netenyahu is incredibly corrupt and reports show that he is secretly propping up Hamas.
You don't need elephants to smash ants. The Israeli government has gone too far, full stop. I also hope the hostages are returned home safely and a peaceful solution can be found. Calling out atrocities and war crimes perpetrated against the Palestinian people is not pro-hamas propaganda, it's the first step in accountability.
This place is heaving with nutters.
This
placeworld is heaving with nutters.Its very concentrated here and it is so often lefty nutters. Or certainly my exposure to it is acute on Lemmy compared to my day to day living.
Sectarian leftist nutters who seem to be extremely overconfident in their amateurish view of philosophy and politics. "The entire world and all of contemporary history is a conspiracy to discredit Lenin" is honestly a pretty shocking view of the world.
For those who can't be bothered to spend 30 seconds checking if a lemmygrad user is full of shit, this was my response to racism against Koreans (literally calling them dogs), since I know I'd be banned (again) if I was too mean and called a privileged hexbear poster racist directly.
South korea are clearly beholden to american interests, considering the military dictatorship installed by america in SK routinely executed hundreds of thousands of south koreans, its not racist to point this out. (something you as a dutch person should be aware of, black pete anyone?)
Sure, the soul of every nation is tarnished by the sins of their fathers. I have no argument with this. That doesn't excuse the use of racist language or symbology, as the point can easily be made without such denigration.
This is especially ironic because the hexbears are typically falling over themselves to show how egalitarian and tolerant they are, and at least in my view, such language makes that effort seem particularly hollow.
its stretching beyond belief to think calling someone an american dog has racist connotations, this is a common slur thrown at anyone who happens to bow down to american interests at the expense of there fellow people.
such bad faith reasoning and liberal IDpolitics of GOTCHA, no wonder you where banned; no loss.
My main problem with it is anyone who has an opinion on how you(or others) live their life. What the fuck happened to modesty
I havent seen a universal agreed definition of propaganda. It seems like anything advokating for something that that person doesnt agree with is propaganda.
its art that is political, what form that takes is up to the content.
