a joint US-Bolivian police operation to kidnap a former president. Workers seizing an airport to stop American planes from landing. And the Western media is barely whispering about it.
Agreed. They don’t want the treats to stop flowing; it’s an addiction at this point. So many people around me aren’t even willing to boycott, which I view as the barest minimum involvement at this point. Anything that threatens their comforts is summarily dismissed out of hand. For a lot of people, that level of consumption is not going to be sustainable as prices rise without a simultaneous increase in wages. We’ll see what happens if gas prices hit $10 per gallon; I’m expecting the price to start skyrocketing as the supply chain catches up to the shortage.
The thing about denial is that it eventually comes crashing down. Cognitive dissonance takes a lot of energy to maintain, even if it’s unconscious. The libs on the big instances are in a precarious place because they’re not grounded in reality; even if they ignore what we’ve told them now, they won’t be able to do so forever.
I choose to believe that we are not some special few, gifted with secret knowledge or special ability but instead the canaries in the coalmine, just the first of many who are perhaps most sensitive to the disinformation environment we are in. Eventually what we know to be true will become undeniable.

You can’t even get the biggest Lemmy instance users to question Zionazi moderator narratives and motivations.

Well, they denied Nazis working in multiple governments in high levels the world over for almost a century. I hope you are right.

I hope so. Palestinians are almost final solutioned. I hope it doesn’t come to that for the other para/militarily bullied nation states.
