I know most people that were on reddit at the time are fully aware of this and won’t be surprised but don’t dismiss the findings out of hand. It’s important that studies are being conducted and the fact that the finding match our lived experience is still noteworthy.
r/The_Donald helped radicalize extremify users into far-right identities and discourse – Active users on r/The_Donald increasingly used white nationalist vocabularies in their comments within three months.
FTFT. I so hate it when people who should know better ignore the actual meaning of terms.
That is literally the same generalisation group think blame game that Hitler used to blame and prosecute the Jews.
Riiiight… becasue right-wingers are born right-wingers, correct? Is that why you want to equate right-wingers playing the victim card to people who were actually murdered simply for existing?
Also imo its incredibly nieve to lump anyone who identifies with republican as an alt-right Nazi.
As you yourself have just proven - all right-wingers walk the same path.
Sooooo… these geniuses are proposing to send people who are already (and justifiably) not very fond of Israel on an actual state-funded six month fact-finding mission to witness the horrors caused by Israel for themselves?
Better make sure they don’t have smartphones on them… otherwise, they might just record enough Israeli war crimes to fill three TikToks.
Oh, nice… techno-solution No. 456927493923990003038. You know… the same ole’ techno-solutions they’ve been promising us will solve all the capitalism-instigated problems (ie, problems that aren’t technological in nature) since at least the 80s?
Of course they don’t say it’s a “magic wand…” even the media doesn’t think you’re that stupid.
it’s one of many things that could potrntislly help reduce the damage we do to the ecosystem.
So when do they start? As I’ve already implied - they’ve been enthusiastically peddling “techno-fixes” to these problems since at least the 80s (I know because I was there), and they haven’t made much of a dent, have they? Does it perhaps have something to do with the fact that the problems caused by capitalism isn’t technological, perhaps?
so a communist system would also need modern materials to allow
If the problems aren’t technological it means modern materials isn’t the problem, is it?
People have been reliant on “ole’ techno-solutions” since the dawn of humanity
Soooo… according to you people have been relying on “techno-solutions” to fix the problems caused by capitalism long before capitalism was even invented.

No liberal - I haven’t. Your attempt to pretend that there’s anything that can be called “left” in the US political establishment is just that… a pretension. Trump is “left” of Hitler - you want to pretend that Trump is (somehow) “left” now, too?
If you are going to talk about the Dems, do so without attempts at misleading people over what the Dems really are - the “good cop” in the little anti-democratic gaslighting game that US formal politics has always been. There is nothing “left” about them and never has been.
You can lower the temperature of something by pouring over it something hot,
ROFLMAO!
If that was true, liberal, you wouldn’t be in this pickle, would you? How long have you libs been voting for the “lesser evil” now?
The only thing you get when you pour liberalism over fascism is fascism that burns harder. In fact, you don’t get fascism without liberalism providing it with fuel and fertilizer.
But hey… go ahead. Try and solve this problem with “more of the same.” Maybe “thoughts and prayers” will start magically working, too.
It’s always fascinating to watch liberals attempting to distance themselves from their more overtly fascist cousins… yeah - totally nothing suspicious going on there.
I don’t actually mind the US protecting their economy from a predatory one that is more powerful - but I’d like USians to remember this when their politicians argue for war against 3rd world countries that want to protect their economies from the US.
The amount of upvotes this post got tells me that the majority of people who came this way does not see it that way. This does not bode well if this place ever gets busier.
