we criticize terrorists for using civilian targets as bases, but somehow this is ok
i think it was this school was solely military, but schools elsewhere were used as civ shelters. but all the schools were shelled instead of specifically one
What's the source on that? All I've seen is this comment and the image above
bc the soldier is posting to his friends and fam possibly for the last time
the other is taking it and posting it for fake points
obviously still bad from the soldier but it’s a bit diff
Proliferation. The weak OPSec is likely a result of it only being intended for a limited audience.
That was absolutely the initial appeal of reddit to me. It really does a good job of making you feel that way. Now I get to be a part of the SUPER cool SUPER secret internet club 😎 🤓
I just wrote elsewhere about the :brainworms: that tell a lot of people they are cool individualistic rebels while licking boots and reinforcing the status quo.
That's similar to the theme of the most recent Citations Needed as well, but for "independent journalism".
Reddit finally outid their Boston Marathon bombing fuck up well done lol
Reddit gets the blame but that was just a bunch of people speculating. Perez Hilton is the real villain.
Reddit directly created the Sunil Tripathi theory and leaked his family’s info which lead to death threats and anti Muslim attacks on them. (The Tripathi’s weren’t Muslim) all while they were mourning the suicide of Sunil
Reddit is VERY MUCH in the blame for it. Perez picked up on it because it was tending from other reporters who the Reddit users, all of which talked about sent it to.
If it were me I simply wouldn't use civilian lives to protect soldiers fighting a rich mans war
thats literally russian propaganda lol
straight rip from isreal saying hamas uses human shields
I dunno, official ukraine sources were calling for civilians to try to stop armored vehicles. Which is a bad idea on a level I cannot begin to describe. Things are not going well in that reguard and this seems in keeping with that
thats calling for civilian to take up arms/aka become combatants / join the militias lol
Which is an exceptionally bad idea. As if it works, all the soldiers now have to worry about any person as a potential threat. Which means alot of civilains are going to get shot for standig too close to something. This is the policy whoever from ukriane wanted, I dunno if they want dead civilians for pictures or what. I am not down though, any possibility I had for sympathy towards the Ukrainian side died with that move.
100% lol? when the opposition is posting info and you have hundreds if not thousands of ppl online looking for info leaks you are gonna have ppl on reddit lol.
Oh, I just thought it wouldn't be worth it for them to use reddit with all the astroturfing and whatnot
Reddit might not be the right venue for a Russian propaganda coup, but every piece of combat-related media that gets uploaded is a potential source for intelligence. Learning which units are deployed where, what their armaments are, etc.
Why not?
One US military general was a head mod at /r/technology on :reddit-logo: for years.
