Ultimately the problem is that the mods for the communities they frequently post to have allowed this to go on for years. They have to know by now what’s going on, and by doing nothing they tacitly endorse it.

It’s widely-know.

So which instance is politically neutral

There is no such thing as “politically neutral.” What you perceive as neutral is that which is hegemonic.

Anything even remotely pertaining to China is flooded with the Chinese state actors reply guys and bots.

What’s rampant is imperial core propaganda. You see the “Chinese propaganda” as “rampant” because you’re used to seeing only imperial core propaganda, which is how the internet looks on corporate media, including corporate social media.

The first step is to understand the media, which Media Bias/Fact Check and the Ad Fontes Media* are never going to teach you. The only people who are taught it are those who get degrees in marketing, public relations, political science, history, and journalism; and even then only some of them.

The new post-Trump/“post-truth” media literacy curricula won’t teach it to you either, because it was paid for and crafted by the US military-industrial complex: New Media Literacy Standards Aim to Combat ‘Truth Decay’. This week, the RAND Corporation released a new set of media literacy standards designed to support schools in this task.

The standards are part of RAND’s ongoing project on “truth decay”: a phenomenon that RAND researchers describe as “the diminishing role that facts, data, and analysis play in our political and civic discourse.”

None of it is a secret, though, and it can be learned.

Anyone interested in your second point might look into In-Q-Tel or the book Palo Alto.

No, I have something against the shitty little asshole I used to be.

That’s still you, buddy, and sorry to hear about your capitalist realism brainworms.

The only person I know who ever denied the Armenian genocide was Cenk Uygur, which he later walked back.

An Bosnian genocide is much more controversial. That the Srebrenica massacre constituted genocide had been refuted by a number of scholars, including Noam Chomsky, Edward Herman, and Michael Parenti.

Also during Christmas time people wear traditional hoods that look like KKK in US. They are not KKK.

Always good to give someone a heads-up on that one 😅 Roman Catholic tradition predates the KKK by centuries. Presumably the KKK stole their look, like the Nazis stole the 卍.

1. What genocide is that?
2. Do you deny the genocide of white South Africans. Because you should. Not every genocide accusation is true, and false ones should in fact be denied.

There was disinformation and spying being used gather Intel and push disinformation.

Of course. Of. Course.

What Biden actually wanted was to control the narrative about Gaza so that his support for Israel’s genocide wouldn’t cost him the election. Unlike US corporate media—including social media—TikTok wasn’t censoring the truth.

An aprosthetic would be a non-prosthetic, like for instance an aphrodisiac.
