Where did I lie? Where is my propaganda? You’re labelling me as such without any evidence. That’s an attack on me, not my argument. It is utterly pathetic behavior from someone who moderates communities. We’re done here.

You’re falsely assuming it, and using it as justification.

Ad hominem

Ad hominem

I did read it. It is one of those articles with a clear political bias, trying to spin the story as if all of it is false because one thing was false. Anyone eating it up is doing so because they either can’t think for themselves or don’t want to.

Are you done following me around in this thread?

It is a legitimate question you’re trying to label a conspiracy theory as if it was so extremely unlikely that the stack of paper trump held was nothing but all made up.

Labelling anything as “JAQ” is literally a supression tactic used by extremists and astroturfing corporations, by the way.

Imagine a place on the internet where at least one person asks “wait, what about this then?” and not being told “shut up. Don’t ask questions, just consume the media the way we want you to.”

Lemmy is not supposed to be a brainrot meme cave.

If it is easily verifiable, then how about we verify it right now? So what about those other cases not from Congo?

Why should we give the benefit of the doubt?

Because people are dead, and it is the choice between “ingore” or “start and investigation”

I agree trump is a hack, but I want to know about those other cases.

Replacement theory is a conspiracy theory about white replacement in western countries, not a place where a real minority is the target of a large amount of hate. The South African minority white people have not ever been part of this conspiracy theory. Lumping them together is dangerous logic often used in genocide denial.

Is genocide happening? I don’t know. If people are claiming to be victims, then it should be taken seriously even if they’re white. So here we are, someone asked “what about the other ones”, got downvoted, and people start arguing “no, it’s not real” because a few of them weren’t real.

Yes, questionable. It doesn’t make them false by default, and it doesn’t mean anyone asking “what about the rest of them?” needs to be downvoted by the circlejerk mob. We’re back at my point in my original comment.

“The evidence of supposed mass killings of white South Africans presented by Donald Trump in a tense White House meeting on Wednesday were in some cases images from the Democratic Republic of Congo, while footage shown during the meeting was falsely portrayed as depicting “burial sites”.”

“In some cases” means less than a majorty of the cases. We’re talking about the rest. Do you and “everyone else” know something about these other ones we don’t?

That’s what we’re asking. Can you stop?

So far only one of them appeared to be from congo. What about the rest? Are we going to throw it all out because one was from Congo, and because a memorial mistaken for a burial site (literally makes no difference)

Oops, you weren’t supposed to ask about those.
