    I suppose it’s inevitable, but the amount of ridiculous propaganda being posted here by a small by a number of people is making this community both less useful and less pleasant. Bizarre conspiracy theories and hatred are not news.

      Welcome to lemmy.ml. Maybe you should stick with instances that credulously post imperial core corporate media schlock.

      I generally agree with the content of the article, but the headline destroys its credibility. No one who might possibly have their mind changed is going to go anywhere near it.

      I will admit to over-reacting. I’m just sick of watching people with something important to say undermine themselves by adopting the emotionally exploitive rhetoric of the other side.

        Not themselves: journalists seldom get to choose the headline. It’s usually left to the copy editor.

          I knew that was true of new articles, but did not realize it also happened with opinion pieces like this one. Thank you for the information.

      Says the person who came over with the reddit migration and provides no supporting context whatsoever. But sure, whatever you say bud! I guess funding a proxy war which has claimed more than 10,000 Ukrainian lives already is the only way out of the proxy war, ah?
