Sure mate, the UN Confirmed Genocide and Man-Made Starvation, is “people being emotional”, the various stories the NYT posted immediately after 7 October that later got shown as false and with some even retracted were not at all “raw propaganda with zero confirmation” and the relentless use of differently charged language when referring to Israelis and Palestinians (for example: the formed are “murdered”, the latter only ever “die”) aren’t at all biased and propagandistic.

By the way, I’ve heard of this water-crossing realestate in New York selling for cheap and you sound like just the kind of person who would buy such a thing…

I’m surprised the NY Times published this information, even if only as an opinion piece, given how long and hard (oh, so hard, with some of the slimiest half-truths, denials, cherry-picking and most differently charged language used anywhere) they’ve been propagandizing for the baby murderers.

By the way, it’s hilarious that somebody created an account for a badly made spam both just to flood two posts related to Palestine and got banned within 1h or or so for 2 major communities.

When the Snowden Revelations came out, it turned out the UK did as much or maybe even more civil society surveillance as the US, and unlike the US it doesn’t even have constitutional limitations on surveillance of people on their own soil (in fact the UK doesn’t even have a written Constitution).

In the US they actually walked back on some of the surveillance (because of said constitutional protections), in the UK they just passed a law that retroactively made the whole thing legal, got the editor of the newspaper who brought out the Snowden Revelations kicked, fired a bunch of D-Notices around (the UK’s Press Censorship mechanism) out and nobody ever talked about it again.

As soon as the technology was good enough for that the UK created a Digital Stasi and it’s only gotten worse since.

You can see how trully Freedom-loving mainstream Liberal parties are, even in Europe, by looking at the domains were Freedom Of Ideas clashes with Ideas As Property such as science publishing: almost all of those “Liberal” mainstream parties side with the Owner Class in expanding and increasing enforcement of the “though shall not share without paying” Intellectual Property laws that let some make money of something they are only able to own due to such laws (those laws are literally anti-natura in that ideas are naturally shared), rather than with the natural freedom of sharing.

The way States support and impose Intellectual Property is really just a facet of the broader societal problem of politics in Capitalist nations (even those disguised as “Democracy”) not really working for the many.
