MBFC: Least Biased
Lol. Now I see why no one likes Media Bias Fact Check.
I’m giving up on Lemmy. Too many toxic users. Too many bad mods who fail to remove the toxicity. And toxicity seems to be part of the culture here, judging from how everyone acts like it’s normal. Also, why is everyone a programmer?

My examples are proxy wars where the locals retiliated with “terrorism”.
Doesn’t that describe Vietnam?
We’re achieving our goals in Ukraine right now, as we did in all my examples above.
Is your point that the US goes to war to fund the military industrial complex rather than to achieve victory? Because otherwise I’m not understanding your point.
I don’t think any of those conflicts (including Ukraine) went the way the US wanted them to.
Don’t forget Vietnam and Korea.
The US is constantly enmeshed in wars, but when was the last time Americans actually won one? 1945?
That was 79 years ago. Almost one whole Biden.
How can this story not be true? I heard about it on facebook from someone who says she heard about it from her neighbour, who heard about it from her daughter, who heard about it from a friend.
This stranger’s neighbour’s daughter’s friend saw Haitians carving up her cat with her own eyes.
Do people honestly have no ability to spot a bullshit rumor? She didn’t even claim she saw it with her own eyes, or that she knows someone who saw it with their own eyes. She literally says it was a friend of a friend of a friend.
Just to elaborate, my first thought was: “I dislike this anti-Communist Cold War-era hysteria. I’ll post something to try to counter this hysteria.”
And then I realized: Wait. People are going to think I’m “defending” Russia against accusations of being Communist, and I’m tired of people attacking me for being “pro-Russia”, so I deleted it almost immediately.
So, basically, I’ve started to self-censor my thoughts because I find the toxicity of Lemmy exhausting. Go enjoy hunting your Reds under the Bed, and I’m going to do something better with my time, like go outside.
I really wanted Lemmy to work out, but it’s clear to me that this place is as bad as Reddit, just in a different way.
I decided it wasn’t worth arguing over.

Dude, just say you’re afraid of black people and leave the rest of us humans out of it.
the only hope the world has
You mean the only hope Israel has.
Hey, guess what? Accusing people of being shills doesn’t actually fix any of the Democrats’ problems.
No, but she does seem to be the president of Israel’s cheer squad.
The forecast isn’t a poll. 538 analyzes data from polls to create their forecast.
If you don’t want to read the article, you could at least read the headline, which is also the title of this lemmy post that you’re commenting on right now. Look at the top of your screen. It says “forecast”.
Arab-Americans in Michigan care, and it’s going to cost Harris Michigan.
Harris’s lack of action on Gaza is the reason she’s sinking in the forecasts.
She should help Gaza to help herself, if for no other reason.
“Do the weave”? I wonder if he meant to say “duck and weave”. Like a boxer.
Russia and the CCP?
Do I get paid twice?
Edit: Busted!
What does “Busted” mean? Do you think you’re on an episode of Mythbusters.
Anecdotes are not data. People’s social circles are often echo chambers that don’t reflect the entire population.
