It promotes the existing power structure, which some people think is no bueno.
For example, if you post this:
https://edition.cnn.com/2002/US/01/30/ret.axis.facts/
the bot will say it is a highly accurate source with highly factual reporting so people will tend to believe with certainty that the U.S. should invade Iraq.
Aaahh capitalism. This is what business school graduates call “innovation” and “smart”.
But seriously, I’m sorry that happened to you. It’s predatory, abusive, and wrong.
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.
This is the correct answer.
Edit /etc/hosts and add

so when you type example.com into the address bar it goes to 127.0.0.1.
I hope there will be no compensation for miners when the supply’s hard limit has been reached. To remove the profit motive completely would be excellent imo.
Keeponstalin’s comments are always top notch, and I just want to add a bit more info about the exerpt that reads:
A minor incident concerning prayer arrangements near the Wailing Wall, the western wall of the Haram, sparked violence that soon swept through Palestine as a whole in 1929.
The “minor incident” went as follows:
On 15 August 1929, Tisha B’Av, the Revisionist youth leader Jeremiah Halpern and three hundred Revisionist youths from the Battalion of the Defenders of the Language and Betar marched to the Western Wall proclaiming “The Wall is ours”. The protesters raised the Zionist flag and sang the Hatikvah.[13] The demonstration took place in the Muslim Maghribi district in front of the house of the Mufti.
Two days later, in raised tensions caused by a 2000-strong Muslim counter-demonstration after Friday prayers the day before, a Jewish youth, Avraham Mizrahi, was killed and an Arab youth picked at random was stabbed in retaliation.[14] Subsequently, the violence escalated into the 1929 Palestine riots.
Ok next item was “monetary policy”.
Bombing residential areas and targeting hospitals is very wrong, isn’t it?
I think they are the same person.
Both hasbara accounts none the less.
I see your point. It’s not wrong when it happens to Arabs but wrong when it happens to Jews. Can you help me fill in the blanks?
R A _ _ S _
racist ass motherfucker
Don’t bother, that must be one of those tantrum fueled hasbara accounts.
Can you just tell us? That’s a pretty big book.
Hamas has pretty much total iron first control of Gaza
Don’t you mean Israel has pretty much total iron first control of Gaza? Hamas does not control the borders, the monetary policy, electricity, water (via a racist system of permits being habitually denied), airspace, sea, population registry, international trade, ID cards, or travel to and from Gaza. Israel does. Israel even sells the drilling rights for natural gas off the coast of Gaza.
Yes, they usually do it slowly to avoid suspicion but when the situation is convenient they go ahead and take a big bite out of Palestine.
That’s how they have been operating, even before the establishment of Israel:
Before the 1948 Arab-Israeli War broke out, the Carmeli Brigade’s 21 Battalion commander had repeatedly damaged the Al-Kabri aqueduct that furnished Acre with water, and when Arab repairs managed to restore water supply, then resorted to pouring flasks of typhoid and dysentery bacteria into the aqueduct, as part of a biological warfare programme. At some time in late April or early May 1948, - Jewish forces had cut the town’s electricity supply responsible for pumping water - a typhoid epidemic broke out. Israeli officials later credited the facility with which they conquered the town in part to the effects of the demoralization induced by the epidemic.[54]
Israel’s Carmeli forces attacked on May 16 and, after an ultimatum was delivered that, unless the inhabitants surrendered, ‘we will destroy you to the last man and utterly,’[55] the town notables signed an instrument of surrender on the night between 17–18 May 1948. 60 bodies were found and about three-quarters of the Arab population of the city (13,510 of 17,395) were displaced.[56]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acre,_Israel#1948_Palestine_War
It is evident that that is their modus operandi because now Gaza’s water system is destroyed, and I suspect they will take Gaza just like they took Akka.
Israel taking over Palestine has been the plan since the beginning, as the founding fathers of Israel themselves announced:
Zionist leaders, in particular David Ben-Gurion, viewed the acceptance of the [United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine] as a tactical step and a stepping stone to future territorial expansion over all of Palestine.
Between 1947 and 1949, at least 750,000 Palestinians from a 1.9 million population were made refugees beyond the borders of the state. Zionist forces had taken more than 78 percent of historic Palestine, ethnically cleansed and destroyed about 530 villages and cities, and killed about 15,000 Palestinians in a series of mass atrocities, including more than 70 massacres.
All the theatrics about Israel’s right to defend itself etc. are just cover for the long history of horrible crimes and human rights violations Israel has perpetrated (and continues to perpetrate). There is a reason that people are mad at Israel, and it has nothing to do with being Jewish.
So yea, Israel is going to continue overtaking Palestine, unless they start being held to international law like everyone else. Germany and USA impede on that process, but hopefully the rule of law will triumph because
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
8 hour old account with 42 comments…
I really hope it’s a hasbara account working hard and not someone with such an unbelievable capacity for missing the point.
I’m kinda dense, what’s the “only one reason for appointing an NSA director to your board”?
Ah yes, the old “laws don’t work so let’s get rid of them” argument.
And there were people on here saying that licensing your comments CC was stupid…
Crypto is a growing concern for a lot of people
What do you mean?
Narratives are created by more than just that, including what is reported on, how frequently it is reported, and what is not reported on. See Chomsky’s “Manufacturing Consent” to learn more.
