Not surprising to me that the liberals who have decided to stick with this dog til the very end are becoming much less conciliatory to anyone who isn’t already on their side. Why bother with appearances then?

    on reddit that average r/politics thread about israel now has majority pro-Palestine or at least pro-ceasefire types and the hasbara bots are now complaining about "they are using discord channels", "bots", and "where do you get your talking points". they can't believe there may be a legit groundswell against defending open genocide anymore

    but then who knows its fucking reddit could be all bullshit (probably is)

      r/Politics turns on a dime. We nearly ran that place during the 2020 primary, up until a few days before South Carolina. Somebody flipped a switch (probably activated a few hundred sleeper accounts) and it was wall to wall Biden apologia. If the comments in there appear reasonable, that just means the issue is on the back-burner. Whenever something is in public focus, it gets astroturfed to fucking hell.
