I’ll tell you one thing - I’ve been on reddit just trying to provide some counters to the (extremely genocidal) conversation going on over there, but the censorship is just out of control. /r/worldnews mods will straight up permaban you for a comment like “I just wish everyone would try to resolve this peacefully”. You look at the front of /r/worldnews any day, it’s 60% articles from Israeli newspapers and the comments are just 75% “[removed]”.
One of the biggest discussion sites on the internet and they’ve basically weaponized it into a propaganda tool. Shameful time we live in.
That sub isn’t officially right-wing, but it’s definitely right-wing. I’ve seen a ton of transphobic bullshit upvoted there too, for example.
It has been the same way for many years. I remember that’s why people started world politicssub but that was taken over or something. Most of reddit has become a breeding ground for hate filled Americans and Israelis who think there is no higher calling in the world but to kill terrorists and any amount of collateral damage is acceptable. Of course every definition of terrorists also applies to Israel but they don’t see the irony of that.
If you’re using r/worldnews as the bar for impartiality then that’s your problem
Is ongoing genocide really the place for a “ha ha, the other site sucks” post?
I’m not laughing.
Why is “good progress” in quotes but not “war with Hamas?”
Characterizing the leveling of Gaza as a war with Hamas is Israeli propaganda.
‘Good progress, with this kill rate we’ll be done in a few years!’
Well this is horrifying.
This is the best summary I could come up with:

The original article contains 1,126 words, the summary contains 215 words. Saved 81%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Obviously hitting some weapons cache from the secondaries on the clips I’ve seen.
