    Do they really think we're this dumb, or are we actually this dumb?

    In attempting to gain support they've:

    1. Likened the attack to 9/11

    2. Had IDF women do tiktok/instagram/whatever videos to honeypot people

    3. Likened Hamas to ISIS

    4. They're also making comparisons between Hamas and Nazis, and actually trying to convince people Hamas are going to kill every Jew in the world unless Israel does a genocide

    Again, do they really think we're this dumb, or are we actually this dumb?

      r/worldnews credulously takes whatever times of israel says at face value so yes we are that dumb.

        /r/worldnews is heavily censored and probably full of bots, though.

      I think they're counting on the entirety of bourgeois media to make variations on Israel's messaging to target all sections of its audience, and to obscure the most counterproductive messaging from the same. You can do a lot with very little when you're backed by the institutions of the entire empire

    The 'personal belongings of one of the terrorists' was in a child's bedroom which was being used a Hamas base. Which was it? A store of 'personal belongings', a 'child's bedroom', or a 'Hamas base'? Because I somehow suspect no more than two Hamas members would have standing room in a child's bedroom, not even including the fact that it's apparently also storing the contents of bookshelves of all those Hamas members.

    Just such a nonsense story jamming as many keywords into one narrative as possible. Sounds a lot more like "we killed everyone in a normal home, including the children, but I swear guys we found a book with Hitler's face so it's okay"

    Various Hamas commanders sat around a plastic tea set, between a variety of stuffed animals, plotting the downfall of the West.

    Also, I have books on my shelf that are untouched (swear I'm getting around to them) and they are not in as pristine condition as a book people were allegedly studying found in a war zone

      But it works. We'll all still be chomsky-yes-honey in 2100 crowing about how they lied about the WMDs, ten or twenty such lies on, and no one will have learned a thing.

      They don’t have to be good since it doesn’t exist to convince anyone but to delude themselves into thinking they’re anything other than the second coming of Hitler

      They don't have to be good at it when their target audience instinctively believes them.

    Not the most flattering picture of Hitler either. Like, if I was trying to spread his ideology I wouldn't pose him like a seething anime villain.

    People don't realize that Mein Kampf is a really dense text, you have to make annotations and take notes.

        This is what I've heard and I find the idea of treating it like a Wittgenstein text and extracting every coherent thought you can from it incredibly funny.

          Yeah it’s basically a big long unhinged rant. Sort of like an early 20th century German version of some chud wearing Oakleys and sitting in his truck making a 3 hour long video about god knows what.

          To be fair, it does explain Jean Paul Sartre’s strange response of “Radical Freedom!” to the text — he thought it was just Wittgenstein

      It's common for the book to be published in a heavily annotated form (heavier annotation than I've seen for any other non-religious text) refuting Hitler's claims and pointing out various lies. It's worth looking at the book for academic reasons, so I am glad it gets published this way.

    So the book that features views of nationalism and racial purity, and how these views ultimately progressed genocide? Why would they read such a thing.

    • moujikman

      Mein Kampf advocated for territorial expansion based on "Lebensraum" (living space) for the German people. This involved a deeply racial component, as it involved the displacement or extermination of non-Aryan populations.
