Famously there are more recorded nuclear explosions than confirmed nuclear explosions so that seems like it can't be possible

https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/07/middleeast/israel-mood-gaza-war-intl-cmd/index.htmlquote:As global leaders continue to pile pressure on Israel over the mounting civilian death toll from its bombardment of Gaza and huge crowds gather for pro-Palestinian protests in cities like London, Washington DC, Berlin, Paris, Amman and Cairo – almost all in support of civilians in Gaza, rather than Hamas – many Israelis are getting frustrated with what they see as unequal treatment.  "No, you just don't understand us!"

After WWII, Japan pop culture experienced a dramatic shift towards infantilized, cutesy schlock. Obsession with children's cartoons, anthropomorphized animals, and so on. Even today, serious warning signs and so on have a touch of cartoonification, as if to tone down their seriousness. I know this borders on pop-psychology, but I wonder if there isn't a similar phenomenon at play here. The subtext of the society is so violent and aggressive that pop culture over-corrects as a kind of coping mechanism.

Frosted Flake posted:Is shadow banning real? yes, although it's a nebulous definition and every I'll discuss twitter since it's the only one of the garbage sites I still use. The most obvious is the bluntest: you can't like, comment or repost a shadowbanned post. Twitter does this automatically and instantly for certain keywords that they don't instaban for (any variant of KYS/neck yourself is a keyword-triggered instaban, racial slurs typed out in full are "limited") The blunt instruments of "delete this post/we won't let people share this post" are generally announced to the user so it's not really a "shadow" ban. Then there's the whole suite of tools they use that are not obvious and don't get announced to the user targetted. Search limiting prevents your posts from showing up in search. Algorithm deboosting stops your posts from showing up on the algorithmic feed even if they'd otherwise show up (lots of interactions, likes, retweets whatever) They can also make it not show up on the chronological feed of people you follow, but that's less common because it's pretty obvious to people that a friend just vanished but going to their profile shows a bunch of posts you've never seen. The easiest shadowban to spot is on most posts: "show more replies". There's no paging limit on twitter's endless scroll, no hard cap of 100 replies before you need to click to see more. Any reply hidden under a clickthrough is content/account that they've decided to limit the visibility of for whatever reason. More on topic, nu-twitter is absolutely loving with the state department in hilarious ways, because elon didn't get the memo that it was supposed to be a propaganda outlet and fired all the spooks working in content moderation. So unlike every other social media site you can see hamas videos shared widely, and images of victims of IOF bombing campaigns don't get taken down for gore or even marked as sensitive for days/at all. It's probably the only place you can get actual uncensored news even if he insta-caves to any demand from any government: unlike the rest there's no "non-governmental" moderation team proactively trying to suppress wrongthink, and individual takedown orders don't work when thousands of people are sharing their stories. The only other place that accidentally comes close to telling the truth about the genocide is tiktok, and that's only because the government of india bans it outright so the massive genocide fanclub there can't flood it with pro-israel propaganda.

You stop being a "victim" the moment you bomb a hospital, I think. Or put Gazans in an open-air concentration camp. Or stop fuel, water, electricity and fuel from going into Gaza. Or use white phosphorous on civilians. etc.

Nonsense posted:Is Elon still personally making sure that pro-Palestinian account can't have any followers? Because the tools they have are so dogshit that's pretty much the only way they were doing that. https://twitter.com/Pal_ActionUS I don't think whatever was going on before is still going on. Whether it was intentional or not wasn't proven as far as I know, but that of course is part of the control system, even if this particular instance was clumsy. This sounds like  poo poo but it's actually just how social media works.

Someone made a good point about this being what nazi pop culture strove for, to kind of compensate for and mask the horrors of such a profoundly anti-human ideology I also liked the comparison of Ted Lasso in this regard

I think the reason Israeli propaganda is so cutesy is that as Israeli culture gets more and more fascist and death-culty, it’s harder and harder for them to even understand how western audiences think or what they want. this is an earnest attempt to appeal to western liberals - and while western liberals are in many ways childish, they are usually not literal children, which is one reason the latest propaganda campaign seems to be falling so flat.

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:These days I have a pair of garden gloves at the bottom of my bag on my commute. they were originally for patriot front stickers/posters when those were big in my area, but I guess I’m ready for these idiotic missing person posters if I see any. I don't leave the house without thick work gloves, a knife and a box cutter because 95% of the time I'm outside I need at least one of these things. But, I have yet to see a single one of these signs.... in Vermont. If I notice any when I am shopping I will do the needful, but I might just print a bunch of STOP PALESTINIAN GENOCIDE NOW signs on sticky paper and tape them the gently caress over. That way even if I don't find any Hate Signs I can leave some gently caress this genocide signage. I don't know how much any of this matters but I do think people are way more impacted by signage they see subconsciously than they tend to realize. Any time I drive back over the NYS state border and realize I am being made actively anxious by all the huge billboards (which all illegal in VT), this is in my mind.

I am so tired, the whole of my adult life and what I understand before it is just the same levers being pushed ever faster and more cynically. But this one really feels like a breaking point to me. This is just the most absolutely cynical, one-sided "coverage" full of lies that I've seen about anything, and I was pretty media aware during 9/11, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Ukraine. All that stuff was hosed but now it feels like some of it was just testing the waters. And what's going on now feels like "well we tested the waters and think we can actually do this, lets see what happens". gently caress I am angry. edit: I killed my Reddit a while ago, Reddit posting seems like the worst kind of burger posting. ducks hard before the snowballs start flying at me Cabbages and VHS has issued a correction as of 15:50 on Nov 7, 2023 |

crepeface posted:not trying to say it's like an assigned area or anything, just what i remember from the stories. oh ok fair. yeah tiktok specifically has a wide swath of folks. LEO specifically, but also a lot of the folks coming out of the post-9/11 fusion centers whose whole jobs were to pass risk information between different public and private orgs. I'm 100% sure that's why they've got that big office next to Union market in DC. sidenote the fact that a handful of posters came out of nowhere after this conflict started to post hasbara taking points makes me think someone's looking at SA. probably a few dudes being paid hourly by Israel, but there's a justification to be made that those man hours go further in a small forum like SA or bodybuilders.com or neopets.com than being the 8 millionth twitter poster to say maybe Palestinian hospitals blow up by themselves.

Israel Police said that as of October 25, it had arrested 110 people since the start of the war for allegedly inciting violence and terrorism, mostly on social media.
