I dunno man. I think it’s much more likely we are seeing the product of the bots. You can’t expect every single site with comments to have propaganda bots. It takes a much smaller number of bots of bots to affect a much larger number of people. Someone has to program and deploy bots to places, the bots can’t just show up anywhere and everywhere there is political conversation

Nah I’m good

See, sometimes the best scientist needs to ask the simplest questions no one thought to ask.

Here is your Nobel Prize

I can’t tell if you’re joking.

If you’re not, do you mean like baking chocolate, ultra dark chocolate? Or like dark Ghirardelli chocolate chips

Do you guys think lemmy is a valuable enough target to deploy bot propaganda accounts? I’m not sure I think so.

A lot of fruit/veg is grown in places they can get away with slave wages and then shipped here because that’s how little labor costs. Less than our already super low paid fruit/veg pickers that are primarily the people who escaped the countries and situations that put them in those even lower slave wage places.

If the Democratic party won’t represent Democratic ideals, then out of either anger or apathy, their base will vote for the party that can do it better, Republicans

That’s where I’m getting that exact sentiment

Hey! Don’t forget that it also alienated anyone who is even moderately humanist!

Wait, you think the republicans represent democratic ideals better…?

I was just pointing out that you said they did Bernie dirty in 2016 and then said in 2020 Biden knew he could beat Bernie on name rec alone. I was just clarifying what I think was the bigger betrayal.

Everyone says they did Bernie dirty in 2016, but no one ever brings up how in 2020, the establishment dems all dropped out of the race in exchange for cabinet positions to rally around the elder statesman Biden—when Bernie was winning the primaries.

That, in my opinion, is far dirtier and a much bigger “fuck you” to leftists/progressives/humanists than 2016.

Are you sure? It seems pretty straightforward to me. “This amendment would bar slavery and involuntary servitude.” It’s the first sentence.

Well I voted the Wicconana party. That’s like putting the women from The Craft in office, right?

It doesn’t just unclog your digestive tract to be like a slip n slide for your food to come ou the other end mostly intact? The media lied to me

Yeah, the crip walk and then the “blood” sign with their hands. Both.

Are you all too young to remember this already being a thing middle class white kids were already doing a couple decades ago?

Pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online stabbed him.

Are you my brother? I had the same experience

CNN is also considered a “pretty credible source,” but that doesn’t mean they don’t carry water for genocidal regimes.

It’s a well-worn propaganda tactic, unfortunately. Well-worn because it’s effective.
