It’s good that you are willing to acknowledge that. A lot of people on here truly reject the concept that the situation is more complicated than “stop supporting Israel”. People are quick to spout that without thinking about the knock-on effects.

There are even people on here who are outright in support of Hamas, an oppressive Islamist group that has a far worse human rights record than Israel.

Lemmy users don’t understand nuance. “Israel bad” is all they understand.

There is one significant difference: Hamas does not, as far as I know, have any nuclear weapons.

This kind of “checking that I’m still orthodox” post makes my skin crawl. Who is “we”?

Jacobin is a strongly biased source and unlikely to be trustworthy or accurate in it’s “reporting”.

They’re also victims of Hamas’ war crimes, because using civilians as shields and conducting military operations from civilian locations are also war crimes. If Hamas can even be accused of such, being a terror organization rather than a legitimate government.

Everyday Palestinians = Hamas’ meat shields.

Of course, anyone who has been watching Hamas for the last decade knows that they routinely lie about civilian casualties while simultaneously using them as meat shields.

China does have a higher life expectancy than the US, but still a lower one than most other capitalist nations. You are wrong about Cuba, it still has a lower life expectancy.

Id point out that the crazy right-wingers likely have more guns and ammo but less actual training than ordinary conservatives.

Perhaps there is a tonal message in your words that you didn’t intend (your native language seems to be German?). This paragraph comes across as dismissing my comment while making a sweeping, inaccurate, and baseless judgment that I “distrust any media that contradicts my beliefs:”

But by you talking about “the media” I guess you are trying to find reasons to further your already present distrust in any media that contradicts your beliefs?

Hard to see how that couldn’t be meant as, at best, a passive-aggressive dig, implying some level of instability or paranoia.

“The media” is a common term in American English that refers to mainstream news outlets. I said I felt gaslit because the early headlines and articles on this topic suggested that names were made visible, not that they were merely added to accounts.

Regardless, there is no call for personal attacks. I’m sure you can find the maturity to respond to comments you disagree with in ways that don’t involve attacking the users who post them.

Lol not sure why the somewhat gratuitous character attack there, but whatever.

I went to my Glassdoor account and the only place I could see my name was in the community part, where people ask questions of other professionals. Some users still seemed to have their names hidden, so it must be possible to do so. My company reviews are still anonymous.

I honestly can’t find any evidence that what the media are saying is happening is actually happening. I feel gaslit tbh lol

You’re also misunderstanding. I won’t deny that US companies seek profit wherever they can, even from unethical sources. I also don’t doubt their involvement with law enforcement and intelligence agencies. But a company seeking profit through a partnership with the United States federal government is not the same as the totalitarian Chinese government requiring oversight of Chinese companies.

It might not seem like a big difference to you, but it’s an important one to me.

US companies != US federal government
