Disinformation post ahead of election season - big shocker.

These aren’t snipers, they’re spotters. You can’t even make out what is in front of the dude in all black.

OPs only response to the closest thing we have to real fact being given was “I don’t buy it”

Seems legit. Toodles.

And now you’re deleting my posts lol. What a joke.

I would have left it if you didn't spam shit at the bottom

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Just because you can’t read Chinese doesn’t mean it was spam.

Industry standard tiananamen square copy pasta that gets Chinese propaganda pushers in trouble with Winnie The Pooh. You realize how this looks for you and this instance right?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I thought you were done. You used the yawn emoji.

Dude, I don't care

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No need to get bent out of shape, was just defending myself and enriching the comment section with more context.

So sorry

Look, can we start this over? I don’t like how this played out and I too was getting bent out of shape for what was likely good-intentions.

I’d understand if you were still upset and needed some time yet, totally fine

Lemmy is supposed to be better than Reddit culture, and be more civilized, and I feel like this was a fail here. I’d like to try again and maybe we can have some civil discourse about this if you’re up for it

Ok, I'll add an edit to the post.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The conversation I meant, but I agree with adding an edit with more information

I think that’s just fair reporting

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

As far as the conversation goes what do you want to discuss?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Is there a way we could freedom of information act additional information from the police regarding body cam/an official report?

They might lie, but at least we’d have a physical ledger of lies to point to in the future?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Maybe? I don't know if that's worth the time though. Even if no rifle exists up there they could bring one up whenever. I'm sure there is security footage though of them hauling supplies in.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

That would be good too imo, just looking for constructive ways to confirm

What parallel universe are libs living in 😭😭

Love the racism there too. Really brings the whole thing together

The part of your comment asserting the "asians have yellow skin" stereotype, what else?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Huh? If thats legitimately what people are trying to push as racism, the ignorance is laughable.

Nothing to do with racism but keep trying to gaslight and push false narratives.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

lol just like all disagreement with Israel is antisemitism.

WEAK wumao

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Any pro-Palestinians asserting racist antisemitic stereotypes?

WEAK wumao

Disagree. The CPC gave me a raise for ratio'ing in this thread

What in the fascist pig hell...

[–] [email protected] 37 points 11 months ago (1 children)

TIL spotters like to use one normal sized spotting scope alongside another one that's the size of a rifle with a cover on it. Doesn't make sense to me but I'm no spotter.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

different optical prescription of each eye.
One is prescribed for myopia the other for dystopia.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Where do you think the administration got the info that its just spotters from? Cops. The fact that they even called the cops is a red flag.

What the fuck does this have to do with the election?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Where are you getting that information from?

Source?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Why should I believe the university?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

Because it’s better than believing an unregulated social media site that’s been proven to pedal disinformation repeatedly??

A platform owned by the richest man in the world who happens to be the son of South African apartheid?

A platform for which he removed fact checking on?

The only picture you have, you can’t even make out what’s in front of them?

Can I ask why you deleted my comment that had the Tiananmen Square Massacre copy pasta?

This just in: copypasta is not spam

???

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I posted it once but okay

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

The irony of complaining about "disinformation" while spamming disinformation yourself lmao

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

What part of what I said was disinformation?
