“Sky is blue” “water is wet” were first recognized by Russian propagandists to disarm outrage. As In, essentially telling people “You’re stupid if you didn’t already know this.” For people out of the loop, it works.
Informing people of this technique is bad for some reason
Edit: Even when attempting to politely Inform someone they are using propaganda techniques you get pedantic hate from people who claim to be progressives.
Bro it’s Friday, let’s just all have a nice weekend and chill.
Even when attempting to politely Inform someone they are using propaganda techniques you get hate from fellow pedantic progressives.
Nah, you’re just being a smug pos and coming off like a gatekeeper. But keep crying about how progressives are being mean to you.
Also, calling someone stupid isn’t “politely informing”.
Sure kid. Trashy and juvenile. Go back to R/TheDonald

You don’t even understand my comment.
I did. You just edited your original comment a million times within our first interaction. Don’t think I haven’t noticed, chump.
You have no authority so stop acting like you have any. Do better, be better.
I never claimed authority here. I identify and understand propaganda. Lemmy seems to be full of critical thinking adults who understand such things and the bad habits of cesspool Reddit. I believe everyone agrees the negatives of Reddit need to die, with Reddit.

This guy has multiple accounts to downvote and manipulate votes, no life or love, so petty, I bet his family hates him

No vitriol here, but feedback that this was indeed a very well-meaning but gatekeepy comment.
Repeatedly attacking other users gets your comments removed and earns you a 3 day timeout.

Lol, I sure am hurting your feelings, huh? And how does me calling you out make me any less of a progressive? Such a baby.
Water curiously enough is not actually wet
Another Republican who wants to angry-cry impeach Biden?
Get in line, weenie!

While otherwise staunchly pro-Israel, Mills has said that he is only supportive of a version of the Israel aid package that included billions in cuts to the Internal Revenue Service — a complete non-starter for Democrats, who control the Senate and White House.
Not so much of a hypocrit as the title implies, but a shithead that tried abusing our idiotic system to force a completely unrelated budget cut to the IRS to be bundled with an otherwise popular (among politicians) bill to give support to Isreal.
Also, unless you are doing tax evasion why would one support budget cuts to the IRS?! I thought republicans cared about financial responsibility?
With a smaller budget they can’t afford to go after people that can afford actual accountants and lawyers to delay constantly.
They instead can really only go after low earners who can’t afford a lawyer at all and have to deal with the IRS directly by themselves, and will just take whatever deal is offered.
It’s literally the reason why the IRS recently had their budget increased and so they’ve been going after the rich that everyone knows aren’t even paying the lower percentage they are supposed to.
It is fiscally responsible for them to neuter the IRS. It means they can save more money! Personally, I mean. Not the government.
When is a reason more of an excuse?
This is what is called a poison pill. With it, Democrats would be forced to choose between swallowing the pill or voting down a foreign aid bill. Now Mills is having a fit that his childish game didn’t work.
There’s no consistency at all other than always being awful.
It’s nice to see centrists finally pull back their support for genocide.
Centrists are now acting like they weren’t ever fully on board with selling weapons to Netanyahu for genocide.
The standard response to “Biden should stop supporting genocide” was “You think Trump would be better?” followed by abuse and false accusations.
Seen a lot of bad takes on Lemmy…
Gaslight someone else.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Rep. Cory Mills wants to impeach President Joe Biden for withholding military aid to Israel that the Florida Republican voted against — twice.
Mills, a freshman lawmaker and former arms dealer, argued that Biden’s move amounted to a quid pro quo.
“Joe Biden is pressuring Israel, our biggest ally in the Middle East, by pausing their funding that has already been approved in the House, if they don’t stop all operations with Hamas,” Mills told Fox News.
While otherwise staunchly pro-Israel, Mills has said that he is only supportive of a version of the Israel aid package that included billions in cuts to the Internal Revenue Service — a complete non-starter for Democrats, who control the Senate and White House.
Trump was impeached in part for engaging in a corrupt scheme to benefit himself politically, while Biden is withholding the aid out of concern about Israel’s conduct — something that President Ronald Reagan did in 1983.
I have submitted to House counsel and will pursue action tomorrow morning using the Dems’s own language, but Biden’s actual abuse of… pic.twitter.com/bYHrMUG1qr
