    I’ve been on several social median sites and ironically it seems reddit and X both have a lot of information.

    Reddit had several western articles about Hamas beheading 40 babies. The upvotes and comments are extremely biased and genocidey.

    The beheading 40 babies claim has be debunked but there’s still no talk about it on reddit, they’ve just chewed that shit up and run with it.

    X has a lot of not farms and Indians so its very muddy trying to distinguish what type of information you’re getting.

      They are both terrible, but the thing is that Israel has a positive connection to Western governments and the Palestinians don’t. So when Hamas kills civilians it’s jihad and terror and when Israel does it, it gets handwaved or even supported.

      Our media is not unbiased, no matter how much they tell you and are trying to uphold the illusion of factual correctness. We simply live on the other side of the narrative and if that is challenged, it’s called “misinformation”. Anyone thinking there is a right and a wrong side here is either a moron or has a personal stake like family or friends in the region.

      The conflict in that area will never end without secularism and the chance of that happening is zero. It’s one cut of religious fanaticism versus another.

      This comment is a good example of why your “Misinformation” policing is fascist authoritarianism.

      Your debunked “misinformation” was just debunked again as the images of the dead babies have hit the internet. But according to you, the original claims should have been censored as misinformation.
