Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- 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 --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- 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. --

What makes them possibly think that a youtuber with average 10M views per video and 15M subs need to take money from Hamas. They could've just ignore her, but they radicalized her instead, and probably another billion toddlers who watches her daily

I love the liberal obsession with the idea that all of their enemies must be secretly paid off by [insert State Department-designated enemy here]

They are following the natural and good inclination to "follow the money" but because they're liberals they think it's like literally shady guys passing manilla envelopes.

Libs and chuds both have like an imagination terminus, a horizon of reality guided by media. So the chud convinced of Soros Bucks and Antifa Supersoldiers and the lib convinced of Russiagate Election Hacker Cheeto Putino stand on opposite edges of the same chasm of ignorance hurling insults at each other.

It would explain why bribery is so easy. As long as you don't say, "this is a bribe!" and give someone a sack of money with a dollar sign on it (or literal gold bars), then you can get away with it (see the Supreme Court trips and gifts, lobbyists for Congressmen, the whole donation ecosystem, everything Trump has done this term and the last between having people stay at his hotels to his Qatar jet, etc.).

Well at least certain people can get away with it. It seems very inconsistent. Most grunt workers can't accept a movie ticket from a client, let alone bigger things, for example.

"I would never get off my ass to do anything without getting paid for it, so obviously no one else would either"

Liberals can't imagine having any firm convictions or sincere beliefs, so the only reason someone would take a stand is if they would directly gain from it.

[–] buh@hexbear.net 27 points 5 days ago

that extends to chuds, who I guess can be considered a type of liberal by definitioan

Huh, from now on I think when someone says that about China, Iran, etc I'm going to have to ask them how that's any different from claiming it's the Jews.
