OT: World Politics

Israel killing a bunch of Palestinians always bolsters hamas’s cause. Their fat cats (and funders) are more invested in the suffering than the Israelis.

Yeah. There’s certain level of nihilism and cynicism that is hard to counter. It’s a death cult.
 
Maybe…but there are civilian hostages that have been taken into Gaza, this they do mind I would think. Anyway, seems to be an intelligence failure on the Israeli side?
Yes hostages they do. I was referring to hamas’s escalations generally.

Twitter used to be the absolute best way to get mostly accurate news on major situations happening right now anywhere in the world. Impossible to pick through the shit to find decent info now until well afterwards now

Which isn’t to say identical misinformation like that posted here wasn’t still an issue….but yeah it’s just a much much worse site for live news you could trust (from verified sources you trust)….

Has anyone checked out Post?….it sounded like that might become the media focused social media alternative….

Yup, noticed this with a couple of "breaking news" stories recently, this one is obviously no different. #Israel is trending, you click on it and get a random mix of actual news, dumb shit posted by small accounts, mis/disinformation, MAGA nonsense, etc.

Even if you're specifically scrolling for reputable news sources, they're hard to actually find in this mess, and even harder now that the title of articles are gone. Harder than ever to tell the difference between facts, opinions, lies and bullshit.

Just the way Elon wants it, I guess....

…and even if you do find a reputable source, their top replies for as far as you can scroll are ad-bots posting complete non-sequitors to the parent tweet and blue checkmark Elon/MAGA fanboys spewing pure bullshit.
 
noble idea. every voice gets equal weight, and is on the honour system to be honest. What could possibly go wrong?
