They’re almost always wrong about everything, and when someone tries to correct them, with sources, they get downvoted.

Because “It’s literally spyware!” didn’t work, thanks to everything else being spyware, so now they have to say “Think of the children!” and see if that works.

Just to be clear, I absolutely support a TikTok ban, if it comes with a repeal of all unwarranted domestic government surveillance operations and some privacy bills with teeth.

Ah, he doesn’t own it, he just decides what it does.

Europe absolutely should be capable of defending itself from a third rate military like Russia, but the security guarantees were related to not invading them, not defending them from invasion unless nuclear weapons were used.

Further, while the EU has pledged significant humanitarian support, the military support has come almost entirely from America, though Germany deserves credit for their own notable contributions, especially considering the numbers on per capita basis.

So… They’re happy?

If you’d read the article you’d know the Israeli team called them anti-semites first.

The leadership explicitly refuses to repudiate the old charter that called for genocide, and has directly said they can’t do that politically, or even call it a replacement.

It shouldn’t be too hard to figure out why, you sure as hell wouldn’t be pretending you don’t understand why MAGA leaders won’t criticize the Confederacy or the KKK.

Yeah, it’d be real fucked up if Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, all allied and interconnected Iran-backed terrorist groups, had direct calls for jihad and genocide in their charters and mottos, or founder and leader quotes saying they are glad Israel exists because it saves them the trouble of hunting the Jewish diaspora

OH WAIT

THEY DO

If you want to talk about violence, any level of violence, as a legitimate response to colonialism, especially when it enters the ethnic cleansing stage, fair enough, but don’t pretend they’re not genocidal fuckwits themselves with plenty of proof for their intentions.

If you want to know why Lemmy is full of pissed off people fighting in the comments it’s because half the people who comment on Lemmy have the fact checking ability of a mentally incapable squirrel and they’ll repeat any damn thing they hear.

That’s great and all, for tech sectors, but I’m not going to judge Joe’s Landscaping or Carol’s Cupcakes for using Gmail and quite frankly Joe and Carol are probably better off missing out on those clients.

If there’s one thing the corporate world takes seriously, it’s concerns about the Googleopoly.

People said Gmail was unprofessional in 2005, don’t worry too much about what business majors think.

The current criticism is that they’re trying to turn into Fox Jr, with that clown show of a Trump town hall and such.

Never said you were, but there are quite a few of their propaganda efforts that simply became accepted “truth.” Calling blonde haired and blue eyed people Aryan or German, for example, even though we have plenty of evidence those traits exist in non-Germanic peoples.

Shouldn’t it be in addition to?

Simply not true, historically. Switzerland has long been a cultural and ethnic crossroads between France, Italy, and Germany, which is why their official languages are French, Italian, German, and Romansh (a regional language).

This lie was, however, commonly repeated by the Nazis to try and justify an invasion on nationalist grounds.

As long as it’s not a German thing
