Dude I love posting about stuff that’s not accusations of propaganda bullshit. Check the profile. I like comparing the US army to the Nazis and talking about video games and the inequities in the global health system and how Boeing sucks. It’s very weird that the last few years have made me into this supporter of the Democrats, because for about the first decade of my political life I wanted absolutely nothing to do with them.
My perfect world would be all the Lemmy people getting together like the sandersforpresident days, like hey the Democrats are kinda shitty how can we get them to take X Y and Z seriously or maybe replace them with someone better. It is not at all by my decision that a lot of suspiciously polished and consistent arguments keep popping up out of the woodwork and into the discourse for why “don’t support the Democrats in November” is a good strategy for getting that done (IT IS NOT), and why it doesn’t seem to go any further than that, into something that would produce positive action, but just “let Trump win because I feel betrayed on Gaza” or w/e.
But yes if I see something that looks like bullshit I tend to try to call it out. Maybe I have too much of a hair trigger because I have run across multiple multiple examples today and I just regard everything with suspicion. But it’s definitely not for no reason.

There’s a saying that if everywhere you go smells like shit, look under your shoe. You’re so quick to label posters and sources as bad faith actors, I’m starting to think it’s a case of projection.
