The word "atrocity propaganda" floating around today got me thinking about how distractions work.
Remember Musk visited the US border over a week ago and showed thousands upon thousands of Twitter users upfront what was going on?
Where are we now?
(Not to discredit any actual atrocities going on but one of the richest men in the world put a spotlight on that issue, and now the eyes are on the Middle East again?)
No, I believe that the media just latches on to other things so quickly to get the sheep's minds going elsewhere. It's amazing how well they get it to work.
That was always -- in my opinion -- the most profound thing mentioned in the movie Welcome To Sarajevo. That a war doesn't exist if no one reports on it.
So you believe Israel convinced Hamas to attack them because of Musk visiting the border of a country halfway around the world?
This is a standard "conspiracy theories at all ludicrous"-style response. Instead of it being a mundane plausible conspiracy, such as, "the media focused relentless on a new story that happened to pop up that they knew would distract people", it has to be an elaborate ridiculous conspiracy like "so you're saying the media conspired to make this thing happen so that they could report it and distract people?!". It's either bad faith, or shows how much people have been trained to immediately misrepresent anything involving a "conspiracy" by turning it into a strawman.
Another option that was brought up elsewhere was looking away from an apparently stalling Ukrainian counter-offense.
Another that I will make up is that the Israeli deaths were ackshually from covid vex casualties (member their participation rate?), but needed to be disguised to protect big pharma.
These are strange times to be a 'conspiracy theorist' with the number of sketchy and/or hugely-significant stories going on at once.
That’s a funny way of saying “Ukraine has been pointlessly shoving teenagers and old men into a wood chipper for six months”.
Imagine forcing a country to genocide their own people by charging them headlong, without air support, into an impenetrable defensive line, and then you refer to the inevitable slaughter as “disappointing” or “a stalled counteroffensive”.

That cuts both ways for any crisis, however.

I just summarized the stance. It seems to be barely connected events so the likelihood of the two things being connected is low.
Not impossible but low.

Why do liberals support a nonsense war that's killing white people on both sides? The question is also the answer.
