    Photos like this are the spearhead of every propaganda campaign to soften the American opinion of war. I’m deeply sorry Venezuela. I didn’t vote for this. No one did.

      You got me. Donald Trump personally paid me $20 to take photos of a WW2 battleship and specifically post it here on Lemmy to influence the userbase. He told me if he loses the Lemmy support then his whole plan falls apart.

          I’ve already posted lots of military history that I’ve gone to the effort of traveling to see and document myself. I’ve posted this at whatever times I’ve had free to sort through it. Current news has never factored in to the timing of the posts. I am going to keep visiting historical sites and making posts about them. If you find a connection between historical sites and unrelated current events, that is out of my control.

            I’m not saying that you (op) are part of the propaganda machine. The algorithm that brought this photo to my eyes is. Maybe I’m jumping at shadows but the country music HURAH isn’t organic. It’s all different versions of Checkov’s gun. You see a loaded shotgun in act one and the gun will be fired by the end. The more loaded weapons we see the more likely we are to expect them to be used.

            I wish I had a graph of references to atomic weapons in social media over the last ten years. We are all being prepared. After 9/11 it was discovered that the only thing that sells better than sex is anger.

              Who made the LW algorithm inorganically push propaganda that lines up with Trump’s agenda?

              Or are you suggesting the upvotes themselves are fake? That rather than people simply being interested in the photo, that there are bots waiting to push the insides of a battleship because that translates into political gain?
