How brainwashed do you have to be to spread something like that?

Let's swap the flag for the Israeli flag and the #meme still works. Can snyone really be so stupid as not to notice this? Unfortunately, this meme is being spread here on #Diaspora and my criticism of it was immediately deleted and subsequently I was blocked. So you remain in your filter bubble where no #criticism is allowed to enter and the #conflict continues endlessly.

Unfortunately, we can't ask the biggest supporter of Israel on Diaspora about the topic because I had to block him. But #Anonymiss, you're doing the same thing you just criticized and you're blocking your critics? I put up with his insults for a very long time and his criticism would be much more meaningful without insults.

So the hardliners on both sides are shifting their efforts to propaganda in order to justify their own actions. They denounce the war crimes of the other side and are blind to their own war crimes.

In such a divided world, we should not be surprised if we are ruled by creeps and conflicts are never resolved.

By the way if anyone here is in advertising or marketing…kill yourself. It’s just a little thought; I’m just trying to plant seeds. Maybe one day they’ll take root – I don’t know. You try, you do what you can.

(Kill yourself.)

Seriously though, if you are, do.

Aaah, no really. There’s no rationalisation for what you do and you are Satan’s little helpers. Okay – kill yourself.

Seriously. You are the ruiner of all things good.

Seriously.

No this is not a joke. You’re [going], “There’s going to be a joke coming.” There’s no fucking joke coming. You are Satan’s spawn filling the world with bile and garbage. You are fucked and you are fucking us. Kill yourself. It’s the only way to save your fucking soul. Kill yourself

Planting seeds.

I know all the marketing people are going, “He’s doing a joke…” There’s no joke here whatsoever. Suck a tail-pipe, fucking hang yourself, borrow a gun from a Yank friend – I don’t care how you do it. Rid the world of your evil fucking machinations. (Machi…) Whatever, you know what I mean.

I know what all the marketing people are thinking right now too: “Oh, you know what Bill’s doing? He’s going for that anti-marketing dollar. That’s a good market. He’s very smart.”

Oh man, I am not doing that, you fucking, evil scumbags!

“Ooh, you know what Bill’s doing now? He’s going for the righteous indignation dollar. That’s a big dollar. A lot of people are feeling that indignation. We’ve done research – huge market. He’s doing a good thing.”

Godammit, I’m not doing that, you scum-bags! Quit putting a goddamn dollar sign on every fucking thing on this planet.
“Ooh, the anger dollar. Huge. Huge in times of recession. Giant market. Bill’s very bright to do that.”

God, I’m just caught in a fucking web.

“Ooh, the trapped dollar, big dollar, huge dollar. Good market – look at our research. We see that many people feel trapped. If we play to that and then separate them into the trapped dollar…”

How do you live like that? And I bet you sleep like fucking babies at night, don’t you?

“What didya do today, honey?”

“Oh, we made ah, we made ah arsenic a childhood food now, goodnight.” [snores] “Yeah we just said, you know, is your baby really too loud? You know?” [snores] “Yeah, you know the mums will love it.” [snores]

Sleep like fucking children, don’t ya. This is your world, isn’t it?

Young people support Gazans. Critics blame #TikTok.

🔶️ Jeff Morris Jr., a former executive at the dating app Tinder, went viral on the social network X earlier this month for saying that “Israel is losing the TikTok war.”

🔶️ Morris argued a point that that some lawmakers have since borrowed: That young Americans are supporting Gazans in large numbers because of the number of pro-Palestinian videos on the platform.

🔶️ Part of Morris’s evidence was that over the past three years, videos with the hashtag “#standwithpalestine” had 2.9 billion views on the platform, while “#standwithisrael” videos had only about 200 million.

🔶️ Among voters from 18 to 34, 52 percent say their sympathies lie more with the Palestinians, while 29 percent say Israelis.

Language is said to be humankind's greatest accomplishment. But what is language actually good for? It performs poorly at representing reality. It is a constant source of distraction, misdirection, and overshadowing. In fact, N. J. Enfield notes, language is far better at persuasion than it is at objectively capturing the facts of experience. Language cannot create or change physical reality, but it can do the next best thing: reframe and invert our view of the world. In Language vs. Reality, Enfield explains why language is bad for scientists (who are bound by reality) but good for lawyers (who want to win their cases), why it can be dangerous when it falls into the wrong hands, and why it deserves our deepest respect. — https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262548465/language-vs-reality/

What had been a narrative of Ukraine’s steady gains and indomitable fighting spirit has now been replaced by the reality of Ukraine’s catastrophic losses (as well as net territorial losses) and a steady collapse of morale among troops. What had been narratives of Russian forces poorly trained and led, equipped with inadequate quantities of antiquated weapons and dwindling ammunition stockpiles, have now been replaced by admissions that Russia’s military industrial base is out-producing the US and Europe combined while fielding weapon systems either on par with their Western counterparts, or able to surpass Western capabilities entirely.

Russian kamikaze UAVs "Geran-2" during today's attack on Kiev were painted black for the first time to make them harder to spot in the night sky.

The carbon based body, together with black color makes it much harder to detect these "Iranian" #kamikaze drones.

Russia and Belarus have 2 factories building these drones and the new batches of them seems to have significantly larger payload since the body of the drone is much lighter.

Last night #Ukraine reported that they shot down 71 out of 75 #Shahed-136" drones, but the Russian armed forces said that they had only sent 40 #drones towards different targets.
