Fediverse vs Disinformation

Pointing out, debunking, and spreading awareness about state- and company-sponsored astroturfing on Lemmy and elsewhere. This includes social media manipulation, propaganda, and disinformation campaigns, among others.
Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.
What's the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.
By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.

Ain't happening ever again. They're facing the end of their control over the Western world and it's shattering them. They're gonna get even more brutal and violent as they enter their extinction burst but once that no longer gets a favorable response, they'll either come to the table humbled or they'll completely collapse.
thats why they recently paid google like 40+ million to issue straight, israeli propaganda on the platform recently on YOUTUBE.
The biggest danger of an unstable isreal is the fact they have nuclear weapons.
cmon... this is a but hyperbolic.. israel has a few masters that prevent outright armageddon... a lil genocide is how the u.s. came to be, but nukes... thats a non starter
There is a pretty realistic nightmare scenario where the US withdraws support from Israel, its massively more powerful neighbors (notably Iran) start attacking it and giving it an absolute shellacking including tons of dead civilians in the streets and its territory crumbling day by day to an invasion, and then it decides to "defend" itself by starting to throw nukes around, because it's game over otherwise so why not.
I don't think even Netanyahu would attack someone with nuclear weapons simply as part of their ordinary murder geopolitics, but for an existential threat I think it's completely realistic, and I also think it's completely realistic that Israel without Western support would face an existential threat.
Also russia doesnt like israel that much, plus they are allies of IRAN. they may have excuse to control that area sooner or later.
**faster than expected™️
Thats why the elites align behind them though. Thats why they get unlimited money and backing. They'll be the locus of the next revolution, I'm afraid.
Palintir and other defense contractors is heavily invested in israel, so yes they are rallying behind them.
I'm shocked.
