I’d like to see them show me the 200,000 people large protests in support of Israel. Oh wait there are none
The grip is slipping, everyone sees through this bullshit
Social media is not real life. Most of its users are the people we usually try to ignore.
In properly weighted opinion polls, where we only ask the people who we usually ask for opinions, the results show that we were right all along.
Haha but yuo see tankie when you ignore the majority of politically active people and youngsters you get a very different answer! I am very smort
Social media is not real life.
I shun and ignore most social media but even then I find that attitude so very fucking long in the tooth and it’s used as a thought terminating cliche most of the time.
It’s almost impossible to exist in the contemporary world without some kind of internet connection. 90s takes on the internet “not being real” are largely
|Social media is not real life.
Makes me think of think of this scene https://onion.tube/watch?v=HkpcYv9Qm5w
It doesn’t matter how popular Israel is or isn’t. They are murdering civilians.
Popularity has nothing to do with it. If 99% of the world population supported Israel, they are still wrong.
Is The Economist arguing that morality comes from popularity?Yes, the wonders of bourgeois democracy.
Except when majority of people supports the wrong country, like 90%+ of support for CPC in China or Crimean referendum, then it don’t count because authoritarianism.
Yet to see millions of people around the world protesting for Israel but go ahead Economic. They never recovered from Lenin’s burn it seems.
They still post about it on his birthday every year.
the economist reveals their anti-landlord ideals by letting Vladimir Lenin live rent-free in their heads for 100 years
Hahahaha how salty can you get
Ok, let’s see real life then. (Looks out the window to see massive protests across the world in support of Palestine.)
I’m starting to think that maybe the Economist’s office isn’t in the “real world” either…
“That’s only the few hundred thousands out of dozens of millions, so minority” - The Economist, probably, using the same methodology.
Those protesters are the same people who don’t count when they post online.
“Israel is more popular than social media posts suggest”
Right sure. Maybe among 90 year old zionists who can’t even leave their house lmao everyone that is going to make a difference and isn’t a conscious-less pig is pro-Palestine
conscious-less
*conscience-less
Yeah, I realized that after but was too prideful to change it 😤 lol thx
Popularity doesn’t absolve them of genocide.
Right? Even if they were popular, which they’re not, it doesn’t matter. I don’t care if everyone else wants to cleanse brown people, that’s still not right lmao tf is their point?
Free bourgeois press…
The Economist spoke for British millionaires 100 years ago and the only thing that changed is the number of zeros in their bank accounts.
Well now they speak mostly for US billionaires, so Marx was more accurate when he called them generally
the organ of the aristocracy of finance.
And that was like few years after the founding of it. It’s kinda astonishing though, how can a rag be so consistently evil and wrong for 180 years yet remain so influental. A real vivid illustration of the class struggle.
Financial Times just ran a similar one in which they blamed
Palestine’sHamas’ popularity on “TikTok brainwashing your child with its CCP created digital fentanyl.”Yes the ostensibly respectable Financial Times, not Alex Jones’ Info Wars.
Archive link cause they don’t deserve more views: https://archive.ph/rz1z9
Oh my god hahahaha digital fetty is crazzyyyy
I’m sure they’re being good faith and telling the truth. It must be the digital fent and not the literal thousands of videos of children in pieces. Good on them. /s
oh yeah, my brother died that way… one second he was watching chicks do dumb dances and the next thing he was keeler over and panicking like a cop at a road stop

I remember when people called my parents hippies. Now we can call them pro-genocide. What a world.
Even my boomer mom who uncritically believes in the usual propaganda surrounding communism and the USSR recognizes that what Israel is doing right now is evil. Anyone who supports Israel right now is an ideologically dedicated liberal, or just really hates Muslims for whatever reason.
Now we can call them pro-genocide.
That was always on the table — plenty of genocides to choose from
It can’t have ANYTHING to do with the fact that even CNN is showing Israel’s fuckups? It has NOTHING to do with the fact that the IDF is hiding and even in some cases justifying Sexual Assault? Man, the Economist is worse than usual
What do you mean Israel is the most moral army they even told me so
Jokes aside, when Wolff Blitzer calls you out for sending a message in the middle of the night to a population without access to electricity to evacuate and how that makes no sense, you know your propaganda machine is shittier than anybody else’s on Earth
The views of The Economist are less relevant than writers for The Economist might think.
For sure. It’s just funny how desperate media is to maintain that grip on the public consciousness. It’s slipping fast!
It’s really cool to see people opening their eyes.

how is President Guaido these days anyway? hope he’s fixing all the world’s problems
properly weighted
why does that tiny person’s face look familiar… i know it had something to do with biden but I can’t remember
EDIT: Oh! it was the “listen kiddo, I get it!” meme. Gah, that was bugging me.
And this is with all the Israeli and US influence operations operating on social media. The social media teams and companies themselves being biased towards the zionists and suppressing and censoring content from only one side, incredible.
If you ignore all the people that disagree with thing, then thing is very popular. Statistics!
Tankie pwned >:)
Didn’t expect propaganda to address this.
