Exactly. the things to legitimately use are as lush, fruitful and plentiful as the densest jungle.
yet people wanna pretend to be in a barren desert and defend mirages instead.
Thats how you get pulled into the misinformation bubble.
Small things that you think are real or agree with, so you don’t bother fact checking it at all… and that becomes the first of many papercuts that leads to the echochamber.
I think we honestly have to step back and wonder how why so many people are emphatically obsessed with the lie and derailing discourse with it, rather than picking and choosing any of the actual, factual items of a similar nature that have actual evidence backing them up.
My guess is its a probing campaign trying to see if right wing troll farms can sow discord and muddy the discussions, or trying to pull pliable people into the misinformation/echochamber bubble.
Exactly.
Its just so fucking weird to make up instances and lie about things, when we have actual factual instances of it actually happening, that are well known and easily used instead.
Like. The only reason I can see being so die hard for the lie is if you are some right winger trying to poison discussion and discourse.
Why don’t you tell the court where anyone said to go high.
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.worldto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK: Regulations don't exist because governments like them...English10·12 hours agoI think thats just a subset of the whole “Government should be run like a business” mindset.
“I’m not saying its okay, I’m just saying if Trump is doing it, then its okay to do it!”
High Ground my fuckin ass.
Theres a billion things that he and republicans have legitimately done, that can be used to dunk on them, and criticize them, and attack them over. Up to and even including shitting himself, Theres plenty of stories of staff talking about the stench on The Apprentice. Plenty of pictures showing his actual, depends poofed ass.
And you choose to just run with lies and make shit up.
Thats not high ground.
Thats, at best, pure fucking uninspired laziness, and at worse… Its downright republican infiltrator/propagandist activity, muddying the waters and trying to discredit actual, factual shit.
“If Trumps doing it, then its okay!” is not the argument you seem to think it is.
i agree, We dont relly need photoshops and lies, when theres plenty of truth out there thats humiliating enough as is.
but as you can see, theres a lot of people who don’t give a shit about right, as long as they can dunk on the person they dont like. Same issue as those fake TPUSA tweets people were obsessed with making a few years ago. Does nothing but muddy waters and provide cover for right wing actions.

Why they are so threatened by AOC and Sanders, and the calls for the old guard to GTFO
I fully expect the DNC to launch a bigger underhanded attack against the both of them than the Republicans do.

A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Alex Jones Thinks Trump Has Gone Too FarEnglish81·3 days agoThe media is desperate to look unbiased, but they don’t want to look unbiased by being unbiased and fairly reporting on Trump… So they report shit like this, so they can create the false appearance of unbiasedness while making sure most/all of trumps infantile retaliation will end up directed towards the subject (in this case, Alex Jones)
this template was ancient when new vegas was new, lol
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.worldto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•What GPU for ~€300 should I get?English1·4 days agoYep, cause AMD and Intel GPU drivers are in the kernel itself, to update the drivers you gotta update the kernel.
Which you can, admittedly, do on any distro… but with gaming distros (with AMD or Intel GPUs) you at least get them in your system update as soon as they are available without having to constantly check and manually update.
Which is why I try to steer people towards gaming focused distros when they want to game on linux. Just one of the many things gaming distros do to make less headache.
if you are on nvidia you might not want to be on a rapidly updating kernel distro, since their drivers are…special.
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Hundreds of smartphone apps are monitoring users through their microphonesEnglish71·4 days agoYes.
Not to you or me, but there are tons of people, even here, that are absolutely incredulous towards the idea that its possible.
Its why I switched to Linux.
