Your solution to losing is to now bandwagon with “the lesser of two evils”? Why wouldn’t you abandon that party entirely? There’s more than two choices.
They’ll kill and take away the rights of people who aren’t you though…yay…
To top it off, you go on to bash those who think that’s not a good choice
The irony.
But don’t listen to me, I’m the stupid one.
Cool, when you and your friends band together and vote for someone who’s not apart of the war machine, then you can ride your high horses
This is the only sane answer in here
…what?
Do you work for the onion?
If it’s free from a for profit company, you’re most likely the product
It’s not so much what their interpretation is of the specific article is, it’s more that you might find more information from someone who has info that was left out, or maybe another source that has conflicting information.
Could you show us a few not so biased news sources? I suppose this will also vary wildly by topic. A news outlet might be narrative/propaganda driven on one topic, but not about another.
It’s so much mess (through corporate ties or money) to sort through, it’s hard to trust any of them anymore
Yeah, what a horrible headline lol.
It’s about Facebook allegedly stopping it’s streaming service to keep one of its largest ad revenue customers happy (Netflix), but also that court docs were unsealed in an anti trust suit, and Facebook may have agreements with Spotify and Netflix, to allow them to read users DM’s (no idea why that’s relevant but yeah, fuck Facebook! Lol)
It’s very speculative though and may not be true. Not that it’d surprise me if it were true either though…
🤷 Does anyone here even use Facebook?
Sometimes there’s good discussion though, and it’s good to hear different takes.
Having comments also gives less power to the writer, like could you imagine if we all took Fox News or CNN headlines at face value and didn’t discuss them?
That’s fair, and I’m glad you’re in a part of the world that allows you to express yourself freely.
If being on the stage, dressing different, or playing the drums is something you want to go at, I’d say do it. You won’t know it until you’re in it. There will be some aspects you like, and some you won’t. What you perceive and what actually is, are often different.
I’ve always found that the things I excel at, are the things I’m genuinely interested in. And when I follow those paths for a while, they all have similar lessons. It’s like an all rivers lead to the ocean kinda thing.
Counter intuitively though, I also feel more liberated when I’m disciplined about getting little goals done on those paths. When I follow my exact, in the moment emotions, it usually leads me to addiction and forms of laziness. Just gotta push through the bullshit for a bit lol. “Beauty stems from pain” sort of fits with what I’m saying here. Might not be the same for everyone though, but for the past few years I’ve been excited to get out of bed lol.
Anyways, listen to your heart and you’ll feel full. Good luck!
What do you mean specifically when you say you want to explore yourself more? What would that entail?
Id be surprised if all admins of every instance that’s federated with Lemmy are all on the same page, let alone looking for narrative driven bots.
I see “Ukrainian combat footage” with hundreds of upvotes and no comments, there was also an article speaking positively about facebook that had lots of upvotes and no comments (it’s in my history of you look, because I commented lol) - those look like red flags to me
There’s already loads of upvote/downvote bots in the fediverse here - would not be shocked if a large portion of them are from governments
Hah! yeah
How does Microsoft always fly under the radar?
You’ve found the lost city of pedantics
Conversely, everything is far right if you’re left
100%
Tabloids are the OG click baiters
Yeah hah, probably. I just think the amount of people discussing/up-voting a tabloid article is hilarious
Marketing: 1 The people: 0
I always trust salon.com for my unbiased political news…

Either they’re not Chinese or they don’t look further than 1 comment deep
How else would you go about removing the two parties from power?
I don’t think continuing to support the party with a vote is really the answer here.
