I think they were saying it was stunningly stupid and tone deaf. No one is actually stunned, it’s more that it’s unbelievable to everyone that he actually said it. It was a bit tongue in cheek.

I like beef and broccoli, motherfucka.
Mind your goddamn business!
Matter of fact, you know what? I’m out.**
I feel like some arroz con pollo a banana daiquiri, and a motherfuckin bistec empanado.

lol what? You just enjoy running cover for genocide that much that you’ll do it in your free time? Fuckin sad

When in the timeline was this video taken? Were they filming it knowing missiles were getting past their defenses? Or were they trying to do one of those “look at how great our missile shield is” and then fuckin BAM?

This is dope af

Not even close

Do you not follow tankie circles at all? A not insignificant subsection of “leftists” (read: western e-commies) kowtow to any country that has ever claimed to be communist or socialist. They’ll run cover for everything they’ve ever done.

The word “could” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence

It’s not surprising that Google.com has a dollar amount they’re willing to spend on keeping something or someone you love alive. Real corpo swine behavior.

My cat had a stroke that affected her back end. There was a terrifying time where we didn’t know if she’d be able to empty her own bowels anymore. I had to massage her constipation out of her.

Now her poops surprise her and she frequently runs away when it happens.

Damn I had no idea I was reading a cat’s opinion on video games the last 200-odd days! What the hell, Atticus. Tell us you’re a cat if you’re gonna give me opinions on video games.

It is a mystery why their shares didn’t tank more

Because the stock market is a fucking scam.

lol I dunno, what else could you do with them? It’s a funny comic, but the joke is the pun, it kinda ends there

Love custardfist, one of the funnier webcomics currently

I mean, fuck Hamas too. They’re far right fundamentalists. But fuck Israel so much harder. And for the time being the enemy of my enemy, etc.

I’m in one of the bluest. Our police and FBI are not “blue.” American spy forces and “committee on anti-American activities”-ass motherfuckers are not kind or just, no matter the voting tendencies of the populace.

How many decades have we seen far right terror groups overlooked for anti-capitalist leftists? The left threatens the status quo, the right fortifies it. The blue and red dichotomy is the status quo. The democrats support the genocide in Palestine. Going against that status quo makes you not safe from government crackdowns, the party in power is completely irrelevant.

If I were you I’d send this to some media outlets. Tank some AI stock and create some more negative news around it.

News outlets.

You guys can’t think there are seriously paid bots on lemmy. There are like 10,000 users. It’s basically a niche message board. Reddit is a valuable target because it has millions of users. Facebook, instagram, Twitter. These places are being astroturfed. But lemmy? I honestly don’t believe it. It doesn’t even have a core of users in any particular country. The small user base is spread all over the world. It just isn’t a target of these campaigns.

People are complicated. Everyone always points to “all that anti Kamala talk ended right after the election!” Yeah, maybe a lot of the pro-Palestinian anti Kamala people saying they wouldn’t vote for her stopped speaking so publicly because the reality of the other option sunk in. That doesn’t mean those people are paid trolls or bots. It means their argument got much more difficult when trump started plotting out his Gaza hotel. Those feelings are still legitimate. The feeling of not being able to sign your name to the lesser of two evils when that “lesser” is still funding and arming the genocidal force. People couldn’t swallow that on a personal level. But as soon as trump was elected, because it was one of two options, for the sake of not being angrily brigades, people stopped talking about it.

It’s a much more nuanced issue than bots on lemmy.

Yeah, I mean outside the US WhatsApp is basically texting for everyone I’ve met. It’s definitely accomplished that. I just can’t imagine something that massive not being used to spy. Especially given that it’s free. I don’t imagine they’re above reading messages. Because all of that server power and access worldwide, they’re definitely prying somehow. Like we are just now finding out they’ve been circumventing VPNs and all methods to block their cookies? It’s literally impossible they’re not prying data out of WhatsApp users.
