    Remember that when it’s your family randomly dying by “some freak accident “

      Putin stated he preferred Biden.

      Netanyahu stated he prefers Trump.

      Flip it around and find the truth.

          Of those two it’s not the country that has a lobby which spent far more on lobbying for Biden than for Trump.

        Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Every word.

        Every statement made by a conservative should be disregarded as a statement made in bad faith.

          Why would you even say that? You honestly believe that or are you a dnc bot? People like you are why politics is so toxic.

        Putin stated he preferred Biden.

        https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/7/10/russia-maintains-support-for-trump-in-2024-election-race-officials-say

        US intelligence assessments found Russia tried to influence campaigns to help Trump win in 2016, and again in failed 2020 race against Joe Biden.

        you better believe we have plenty of proof it’s also happening right fucking now, oh but that doesn’t matter cuz pOoTiN sAiD hE wAnTeD bIdEn!!! Yes he prefers the man that wants nothing to do with him instead of the man that wants everything to do with him to the point of destroying NATO and handing over ukraine. He’s been spending resources on helping Trump for years now but definitely wants Biden to win, yep.

        Fucking unbelievable how foolish people are. It’s a wonder you manage to even draw breath.

            Ok, but can something be done about the rule 6 (misinformation) violations that user commits on the regular? Was that comment not misinformation?

                Could I say something is a conspiracy theory and tell a person I don’t think they are not behaving honestly or in good faith? I can chill on the phrasing but the idea of someone reading stuff like that and taking it seriously is frustrating.

                I probably don’t have to worry about people on Lemmy, I guess. Reddit and 4chan are more the engines of radicalization. IDK I am frustrated with the massive misinformation pushed on society in general. I wish I could do something about it but I probably cannot. So it feels a bit hopeless.

                  It gets tricky because someone can just be misinformed and not realize what they’re spreading is misinformation vs actively and maliciously spreading propaganda.

                  I tend to lean on assuming someone is just wrong and correctable vs. malicious unless proven otherwise, but maybe that’s my flaw as a mod. :) I WANT to believe people are engaging honestly.
