So you are an attention seeking masturbator?

I don't see the issue, maybe the OP could have a disclaimer that they're not supporting the propaganda. I personally also enjoy seeing people talk about obvious propaganda and dismantling it. After all, the memes that baits out liberals also tends to bring a lot of discussion with a lot of sources to back them, helps educate people!

It is was obvious Trump would be bad yet ton of people was duped. Hell even the dumbest conspiracy theories like Earth is flat has ten millions of believers. He shares a propaganda piece without debunking it

The majority of this instance would never fall for obvious US propaganda. There's plenty of educated people that aren't biased towards western sentiment and the admins and moderators would not tolerate any liberalism. World News isn't the best place to share it though I guess, since it's just Amerika coping real, real hard.

You do understand that this site is for gathering reactions and getting new perspectives on things? Reddit and Lemmy are excellent tools on gathering public sentiment! Plus I like the engagement

Not by spreading propaganda and rage baiting

IT'S A FUCKING NEWS ARTICLE

LOL, newsflash; this site at least knows it's propaganda the rest of the population thinks it's news! Like I said I'm impressed with Lemmy because y'all see right through the BS. Unlike reddit, where it's far more mixed.

Don't forget, if we don't know what the enemy is saying we will not know how to respond. Read the damn propaganda to know how to respond to it, unless you fear you'll fall for it yourself?

I'd calm down, I also enjoy seeing propaganda discussed and dismantled, a disclaimer would go better or maybe world news isn't the best community for it. Though I am not sure which community works well. I sometimes post desperate propaganda on c/slop where it gets mocked.

Not everybody see through the propaganda even on lemmy. You are spreading the propaganda without mentioned that is propaganda. I don't need to know the source of the propaganda , when i encounter a propagandized person , i debunk it

They're right and you know it

[–] AviAdi@lemmy.world -1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Why is it my responsibility to debunk propaganda for other people? If they ask you what my thoughts are about it I'll tell them, other than that I'll sit back and enjoy the show. Shit is fucked anyway

[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml -2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You don't have to debunk anything, you could just refrain from spreading it uncritically like you're doing here

[–] AviAdi@lemmy.world -2 points 5 days ago (2 children)

So you want me to censor myself? You don't want discussion? If anything this might help your cause because when people Google this article they may come across this instance and learn about how this is all propaganda!

[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 days ago

I want you to be honest, but that's clearly not your intent

[–] TheShamMirrors@lemmy.today -2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Examine the person you're talking to's comment history.

[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago

I'm right, cry about it
