Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

No, I definitely think the disinformation from my government is disinformation. I also don't think satire is misinformation - but I do think that people mistaking satire for true news creates misinformation in the minds of those mistaken people. I mean, they quite literally believe in information that is not true. If that's not being misinformed, what is?

I'm not even blaming the satire agency, I think satire is great. It's not The Beaverton's fault that this was posted somewhere where people would take it seriously. Its the fault of the OP, and the fault of the commenters for not reading the article or fact-checking things. But that doesn't change the fact that anyone who thinks this is real news is by definition misinformed, and the presence of this post in the context of this community is by definition creating misinformation.

I don't even know why you assumed I don't think the government disinformation is disinformation?
