They were making more before the blockade. Now they aren’t anymore
Ok…
Do you have a source for that?
Because this article you’re commenting on, literally says the opposite…
So I think it’s more likely you’re just confused
The blockade also stops all kinds of goods, and food.
Especially since you don’t understand other things can be brought from neighbors over land…
Like, where are you getting the information that is forming your opinions? I’m genuinely curious
I mean, at least one person clearly does…
I was asking them to try and find out where they got that line of thinking from in an attempt to see if it’s widespread…
Someone else who has never heard of that belief saying they havent heard anyone who believes is fucking useless, even if not in the same comment chain as someone who believes it.
There’s loads of shit people believe that you don’t know about, stop acting like trump and assuming you know everything and everyone thinks like you.
Headline:
How long can they survive!!!
Article:
They’re actually making billions more…
Think it’s pretty safe to say Iran can “survive” indefinitely…
What is there to protect the Fediverse from control?
Why do you think people want it to have no control?
4chan exists, people would go there if they want a lawless wasteland. Or that weird 4chan ripoff that gets spammed every couple months here. Plebbit? They change the name constantly
And there’s fringe instances where they claim to want that lawlessness, but look at their modlogs and they stamp out anyone who disagrees with them. So you can try an “anarchist” instance if hypocrisy is ok with you…
But your question is coming from a very unpopular perspective.
The vast amount of people want someone in control because otherwise it’s just a bunch of trolls who don’t have a choice if they use the big platforms, because they’re IP banned from there.
Fediverse will always have a way for the dregs to get in, so having someone with “control” is necessary. Otherwise normal people leave…
Elephants are smart enough that this probably was intentional…
There’s a decent chance they understand what “big game hunters” are, and are responding to them as a threat, which means this won’t be the only incident.
I hope they make it a point to play the entirety of Obama’s 2011 Correspondence Dinner speech roasting Trump
He made like one offhanded joke about trump…
Do people really think Obama just talked at length about trump back in 2011?
Well, that’s because you seem to think the same thing makes good “meat” regardless of the cut or even animal…
American beef is shit for steaks, but is the best hamburger meat. Most of our beef that’s exported is ground to be mixed with “local” beef in other countries for hamburgers due to the higher fat content in American beef.
Anyways, it was just weird to see someone mention all those big issues, and then someone to chime in with something that really doesn’t matter and they clearly don’t understand
…
Let’s say I want people to think “the moon doesn’t exist” is a popular belief in Chicago…
If I took a survey, we’d see that almost no one is that stupid.
But I really want people to think that “there is no moon” is common belief, at least in Chicago.
So I ask 10,000 people over 3 months.
Then I air a clip where I ask “10 people on the street”. And I air the only 9 people who said there’s no moon. And one guy who says it doesn’t matter.
You would take that as 90% of people in Chicago think there’s no moon and the rest just don’t care…
Which is why I keep telling you:
No “man on the street” video should be trusted and the people making them are idiots or think their viewers are
Does fucking any of this starting to make the teeniest bit of sense to you?
I legitimately can’t think of how to make this simpler.
You know what real polls show, you know why your video is bullshit…
But you just keep repeating it has to be true because it reinforced your beliefs
that video is a series of man on the street interviews.
…
And you don’t think one of those could be heavily biased?
but most Israelis seem to be intensely racist toward arabs and in favor of the greater Israel project.
Because you’re getting your information from propaganda…
Bibi wants people to think everyone in Israel supports him, and that any criticism of him is a criticism of every Israeli…
And you seem to genuinely believe that, or there’s another reason you’re spreading propaganda to make Bibi seem more powerful than he is…
Is your claim that this video is a completely inaccurate hit piece then?
Did you really just fucking ask if my existing comment was a response to some random ass YouTube video that hasn’t been brought up or linked yet?
How could it possibly be?
Searching “I went to Israel” didn’t have it in the top 25 results, can’t imagine why since the goal is to make us see all Israelis as the problem apparently.
Like…
What are you even fucking talking about?
Because DC doesn’t have representation…
They’re not “giving land” they’re stealing representation from the people who live there, so Republicans can maintain the seats
It’s double figures at least
You think 10% is a majority?
according to polls.
What polls?
It feels like you’re just saying whatever you want with no regard to reality…
By “a lot”…
Do you mean “not enough to win an election since 2021?”
Senate Republicans are turning to a budget tool called reconciliation
They’re burning the one bill a year they can pass with 50 votes.
Curious
If you really want to know:
OP linked a summary but you can click thru to the whole article:
According to a transcript reviewed by Wired, Gemini told Sam: “If you create a generic ‘hot girl,’ you’re competing with a million other models.”
Sam then gave Gemini some options for making her more appealing, and it suggested he go with the “MAGA/conservative niche,” the outlet reports. The AI platform also told Sam that the “conservative audience (especially older men in the US) often has higher disposable income and is more loyal.”
He tried with a lot of “flavors”…
It’s less a right/left thing, and more hitting a demo with high overlap to disposable income and relationship dissatisfaction or complete lack of.
Like…
What’s even the Dem version of this?
Have a generic white girl in a Biden/Kamala hat?
There’s already actual ethots that are really progressive, to pull this grift you need a demo that actual women would be very motivated to avoid. Something they’d want to get out to people they know irl even less than the pics themselves.
Israeli citizens require a lot of deprogramming, and they are mostly saveable
If that was true, that the majority need deprogramming…
Why does Bibi keep cancelling elections due to his faction not standing a chance of winning again?
Like, you do realize the reason he keeps starting wars is that this is his ex use to stay in power because his citizens don’t want him in power?
Some do, some do in every country
But the majority don’t want this path, youre operating under Bibi’s propaganda that he has total support.
Buddhism
The ones who believe the only way to reach Nirvana is to follow the rigid steps of the Budda and no one else can enter?
A little bit of a stretch, and they have a different idea for “god” but it’s the same general idea, just no personification
with the polled opinion of israelis support for action in gaza.
There’s still lots of confusion with those polls, because there’s an absolute insane amount of propaganda.
And for whatever reason, people still do t seem to even understand what propaganda means.
It’s not just something you’d read and think Israel is better, just like Bibi wants to conflate Judaism with Israel, he wants everyone outside Israel to think it’s a united front.
Bibi is 100% ok with me and you thinking he’s a genocidal maniac…
As long as we think every Israeli is too. Because then we stop talking about getting him out of power and in jail, and uninformed people start talking about treating all of Israel like theyre the problem and suddenly the united front has been “means tested” into fighting each other.
Fucking ignorance is bliss man, all this shit is as easily noticable to me as how a kid shouldn’t touch a hot stove
I had good luck in this thread yesterday so I’m optimistic that made sense. If not tho, I can try to answer from follow ups.
This is bigger than Israel, it’s one of the most common form of propaganda: divide your enemies.
Yes…
You keep going in circles and repeating propaganda…
It’s clear logic isn’t going to help you, and you’re just going to keep spreading Bibi’s pro-Israel propaganda because you’re somehow (maybe intentionally) incapable of understanding that it is propaganda.
