Yes correct there is no moral equivalent because the IDF is far more evil

They're right, it is disgusting that the ICC issued warrants for the leaders of Hamas

The US government wouldn’t know morals even if morals flew up in an Apache helicopter and blasted them into pink mist while they were robotripping and dancing to bad music right next to an open air concentration camp.

The banality and laziness of it all is pretty depressing. At least in the golden age of imperialism somebody in a mid Atlantic accent would announce the party line to upbeat trumpets and b-role footage of troops marching. Now our propaganda just gets written by McKinsey executives and riffed on by chat gpt to make it look like it wasn't copied directly before being quietly released like a noxious fart on a website dying in real time.

lol yeah, now we get the blandest corporate propaganda you can imagine

[-] HexbearGPT@hexbear.net 24 points 3 months ago

they call it "messaging points" and they send them out every day to all the politicians from their party or leadership HQs.

but yeah its the same as what they call in other countries "troll farms".

Their evil authoritarian troll farms, our freedom loving messaging points

There is no moral equivalence between Israel and Hamas. One is a democratically-elected entity, and the other is a tyrannical fundamentalist theocracy that deprives people of their human rights in the territory it controls.

The ICC's decision to issue arrest warrants for Hamas commanders as well as Israeli warlords should diminish the legitimacy of the court in the eyes of the world.

💯 Also, it's morally bankrupt to equate the actions of the occupier with the the resistance of the occupied.

While it might be more sinister to assume they're all taking orders from some shadow organization, what is likely closer to the truth is that they all just outsource their Twitter accounts to the same social media management company (and with how shortstaffing is these days, all of these tweets might have literally been written by the same person).

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago

to be fair though, the messaging that the media management company produces is decided by the permanent bureaucracy

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
