I’m not totally delusional! I know she’s a hallucination, I mean how else would I be with someone who loves me?

There were plenty of us that saw right through the bullshit even before the war started but unfortunately because the SCOTUS decided the election for us we were stuck with a gang of money hungry pieces of shit… I mean we still are, but we were then too…

I was young and naive so I wanted to join the military in hopes of getting some technical skills, but even as a 17 year old idiot I saw right through bushs bullshit and said fuuuuccckkkkk that. Now I work in a factory… Fuck Bush, fuck Cheney, fuck Rumsfield… War criminals the lot of them.

To get to OPs question, in America I think we have a collective shame about it so it’s pretty much never spoken about at all. The state of Iraq is only ever mentioned within the context of ISIS :(

“Pwease pwease US, pwease help us defend ourselves! It’s self defense! We’re just poor poor innocent Israel trying to defend ourselves from the dirty invading barbarian hoards!”

I think those people might not, but I was once a “conspiracy nut,” had a circle of friends who were as well, and know that for a lot of those kinds of people YouTube is the majority of the “research” they do. For those people I think this could work as long as it’s not hallucinating and can point to proper sources.

“Great! Billy doesn’t believe 9/11 was an inside job, but now the AI made him believe Bush was actually president in 1942 and that Obama was never president.”

In all seriousness I think an “unbiased” AI might be one of the few ways to reach people about this stuff because any Joe schmoe is just viewed as “believing what they want you to believe!” when they try to confront any conspiracy.

Could be, but in my experience that phrase is never followed by something good. :/

Now you can’t blame a kid for joining Hamas when he grows up in all of this and see all his siblings die or his relatives.

When you bomb the shit out of any area you claim to have terrorists in all you do is create more terrorists. It’s like the oldest concept in history that we absolutely refuse to learn because it’s beneficial not to when you need a terrorist to point at to justify your bullshit…

Yeah, it’s short for “miss me with that independent shit, pay up!”

We’re all powerless alone

That’s the “funny” thing about it. ALONE we are powerless. The really really hard part is getting all of us together.

Media in the past that wasn’t purely propaganda for the sake of manipulating the population would have achieved this simply by the reporting done. Now all they do is give cover to the assholes committing the atrocities across the world and we have to fight with each other just to convince people what is actually happening and why it’s bad…

Divide and conquer works and it’s why we never seem to make progress. :(

like a corrupted judge, who can let his buddies off free

US “judge” Cannon enters the chat.

(VOLT). Not affiliated btw, but they sparked my interest.

Intentional or not, I’m here for it lol

Username checks out

Banksssss! Rob banks! Then use that money to buy snacks forever!

Not everyone can do that unfortunately as it is illegal. We’re “forced” to have a lunch break, which I support the idea of, I just hate that I have to stay the extra hour when “normal” full time jobs are 9-5 and the lunch is in that 8 hours…

That’s almost exactly why our brainwashing elementary schooling is spent indoctrinating teaching us about how we’re The Best, Most Free, Country In The World™©® and that all “3rd world” countries are war torn shitholes with nothing but cartels and warlords.

Can’t let the peons learn it’s actually much better elsewhere…

5 weeks is… pretty minimal

15 days is the limit at my job that you only get after 7 years working here. Seeing comments like this make me sad… Happy for you for sure, but sad for me cuz Murica’…

I only just this month “unlocked” my final week PTO after 7 years… 15 days PTO is the limit at my job :/

Guys you just don’t understand… How is Israel supposed to fight Hamas when they’re hiding in cans of vegetables!? It’s not Israels fault that Hamas uses sandwiches to hide their operations in!

It became really difficult after billionaires bought up much of the smaller/stagnant media companies and turned them into “cut research and investigation departments, copy the NYT, and push entertainment opinion articles”

My rule of thumb unfortunately has become: is it a large corporation? Then it can go fuck itself. As others have said AP is good too
