Don’t let for-profit-companies control social interactions, be that Meta or your local mall.

Go into local politics and push for community spaces that are for people, not for profit.

I find YouTube without an Adblock totally unusable. There’s no way I’m suffering through 20s ads for checking whether that meme is even worth looking at.

I did, and it says things, but not the things that the original commenter said, nor implied. But apparently calling out misinformation is not welcome here.

The link says nothing about bots.

You are making this sound more mysterious than it is.

The benign terminology in this blog article is: “act 2” is the ground offensive, the “act 1” was Hamas’ attacks on Oct 7. There’s also no mention of “act 3”.

Assuming this is in the USA it’s either family that is hurting and wants to show it, or, more likely, some White National Christian Fashists who see this as a possibility for a new PizzaGate/Adrenochrome panic, this time with actual children involved, but as usual with call to actions that help no one but hurt innocent bystanders.

Did he also explain how tearing down the poster of a missing child would deescalate the situation and promote peace? This line of causation doesn't seem obvious to me.

There's enough tankies. No need for bots.

You didn’t read the follow up after my opening that you had problems with.

Or you are ignoring how Hamas operates.

The claim that Hamas reacts to anything that Israel does in the West Bank is a myth.

Terrorist groups!

I’m not overly familiar with any of these. During those crisis, was anyone serious about abolishing the institutions of the United States? McCarthy at least seems to have used the institutions to his ideology.

I’m not defending Israel settlements in the West Bank.

But that’s largely independent from Hamas actions or intentions. Hamas was founded before the first intifada, and it existed at relatively peaceful times when the talks about a two state solution were meant serious on the Israeli side. Their intentions then were not different from today’s.

Hamas never wanted peace, and they never wanted to peacefully coexist.

(*) edit: wait did you say me pointing out how Hamas uses civilians as shields is unfair against the Hamas??

Whoever thinks Israel purposefully targets civilians ignores how Hamas operates. It has been documented for years by the UN and human rights organizations that they use civilians as shields.

Getting Palestinian civilians dead is part of their strategy.
