propagandist··on IDF killed Gaza aid workers at point blank range in 2025 massacre: Report
There are other efforts if you don't want to do direct donations. See Connecting Gaza (Rabbi Mivasair). There's also the Sameer Project.

Nothing helps as much as speaking out vigorously and unambiguously though and without equivocation. We have to stop killing Palestinians first.

propagandist··on Flock cameras gifted by Horowitz Foundation, avoiding public oversight
The new leadership (Tan) is utterly shameless and free of moral constraints. I wouldn't count on it.
propagandist··on Cubans rendered powerless as outages persist and tensions with US escalate
It also illustrates the importance of not getting caught on the wrong side of the global hegemon right next door who can choke you out and prevent you from importing energy and integrating with the global economy.

A lot of food for thought all around.

Kwame Ture talks about what it takes for nonviolence to work.

propagandist··on US TikTok investors in limbo as deal set to be delayed again
You're being downvoted but Greenblatt has stated it plainly.

Also the reason behind the 60 minutes fiasco and the CBS acquisition which had Bari Weiss installed there.

You know the insinuation made by the original commenter.

propagandist··on US axes website for reporting human rights abuses by US-armed foreign forces
"Didn't publicize it as much as we would have preferred" is very polite speech for killing millions in "wars on terror" and through arming our great friends, the house of Saud, in their campaign against Yemen.

Not going to get into the rich history of overthrowing local rulers and installing puppets through the most gruesome proxies to create "banana republics," the mass murder on a massive scale committed in the previous century, or the genocide that preceded to enable the founding of this state.

This place is built on murder and theft. "Both sides" are guilty. One is less shy.

propagandist··on US axes website for reporting human rights abuses by US-armed foreign forces
It is more transparent than getting out of government then getting "book deals", doing "speaking engagements" and sitting on boards.

"Here's my hat, put some coin in" is transparency.

propagandist··on US axes website for reporting human rights abuses by US-armed foreign forces
And it was always purely a pretense.

One must laud the transparency this administration has introduced.

propagandist··on Meta erases Gaza journalist's Instagram
For what it's worth, my opinion is that there was no a better platform than social media to host that material.

The media companies are virtually all editorially aligned with one side, and they put their thumbs on the scale when it comes to the news about this subject.

The mainstream reporting is so clinically sanitized that it loses all potency and the sense of urgency. They were never going to be conduits for this material.

The best platform is the one that allows you to reach a wide audience so the onus is on them to archive, not on the vulnerable people being hunted with impunity.

propagandist··on Meta erases Gaza journalist's Instagram
His feed is an archive of war crimes documented under conditions of imposed starvation and an information blackout, in a "conflict" that has had the highest journalist mortality rate by far.

First, he's under no obligation to archive his posts. It's on the world to archive them and prosecute the perpetrators of the documented crimes.

Second, the platform in question has, at the highest levels, intelligence officers from the entity committing those crimes.

Third, humanity has failed in its moral duty yet again, and this sort of "neutral" commentary that ends with a glib remark directed at a murdered non-combatant is shocking to the conscience.

propagandist··on Microsoft blocks Israel’s use of its tech in mass surveillance of Palestinians
The state you are referring to literally calls Palestinians a demographic threat.
propagandist··on We already live in social credit, we just don't call it that
> You seem to think awfully highly of your ability to reason about the world, but I find your claim to be fairly lacking. This all reads like the ramblings of a 19 year old who just discovered Chomsky.

Address the argument rather than engaging in ad hominem.

propagandist··on Israeli unit tasked with smearing Gaza journalists as Hamas fighters – report
The "western commentators" were instrumental in enabling this crime by yielding to "authority" and not questioning the claims of the occupying entity.

Decades of propaganda got us here, and the nature of the operation was clear from day 1. The leadership in almost all of our states are accomplices to this crime.

propagandist··on Open letter accuses BBC board member of having a conflict of interest on Gaza
You must refuse to participate in the forces committing these acts.

And if the state is compelling its subjects to participate, let's have an honest discussion about what that says about this state.

Thank you for the correction! Won't mix up my fallacies next time.
propagandist··on Man 'refused entry into US' as border control catch him with bald JD Vance meme
Great, glad we agree. I didn't like the precious lot one bit either. Glad they're gone.
propagandist··on Man 'refused entry into US' as border control catch him with bald JD Vance meme
You are not looking. Law firms are targeted and silenced. Media is subservient. People absolutely do watch what they say for a large number of reasons.

The type of speech being policed is different, but it's absolutely happening.

propagandist··on Man 'refused entry into US' as border control catch him with bald JD Vance meme
From slavery to the Chinese exclusion act to Jim Crow to the Japanese internment camps to the patriot act. It's hard to make the case we were anything but.

What has changed recently is technology collapsing the world into a single blob of information, and that aspect gets worse every year.

propagandist··on US-backed Israeli company's spyware used to target European journalists
I hope you expected something else from the Germans in 1939 too.

Half the employees are from NSO and they're all from the same unit.

propagandist··on US-backed Israeli company's spyware used to target European journalists
Fighting crime, for example by spying on a WaPo columnist and then strangling him at a consular mission in Turkey and chopping up his body, to then dissolve it in acid.

That's what this company's software is used for.

Good luck to them shifting focus to the bad actors they choose to do business with.

propagandist··on Apple violated antitrust ruling, judge finds
Read Taibbi's book, The Divide. No prison time is the most likely outcome unless the justice system has changed between then and now.

Illiteracy is common.
propagandist··on [dead]
Hey, it feels to be true to yourself. Let it all out Peter. Tell us what you truly believe.

You don't need to cloak it with with silly ideas like your sovereign island any longer; the PC days are over.

This is extra funny coming from the guy who spent the past decade+ denigrating education and who sponsored the current VP, who marketed as a "hillbilly," and the president who is, visibly to all of us, a stable genius.

propagandist··on Abundance isn't going to happen unless politicians are scared of the status quo
Let’s do the exact same thing we just did when we lost. Surely that’s going to work.

Abundance is the new buzzword after the campaign of “brat” and “joy”.

I hope people will see through this crap and demand better. This website isn’t leaving a good impression with the credulity displayed in the comments. Luckily it’s far from the mainstream.

propagandist··on Airline demand between Canada and United States collapses, down 70%+
Hell, you might end up in a Salvadoran prison providing forced labor.
propagandist··on Dutch Parliament: Time to ditch US tech for homegrown options
What's the source?
propagandist··on Military grade sonic weapon is used against protesters in Serbia
I think it's pretty clear the owners of the corner store are not deploying those tactics for they are not the state.

Thank you for engaging in good faith.
