Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Let's say I want people to think "the moon doesn't exist" is a popular belief in Chicago...
If I took a survey, we'd see that almost no one is that stupid.
But I really want people to think that "there is no moon" is common belief, at least in Chicago.
So I ask 10,000 people over 3 months.
Then I air a clip where I ask "10 people on the street". And I air the only 9 people who said there's no moon. And one guy who says it doesn't matter.
You would take that as 90% of people in Chicago think there's no moon and the rest just don't care..
Which is why I keep telling you:
No "man on the street" video should be trusted and the people making them are idiots or think their viewers are
Does fucking any of this starting to make the teeniest bit of sense to you?
I legitimately can't think of how to make this simpler.
You know what real polls show, you know why your video is bullshit...
But you just keep repeating it has to be true because it reinforced your beliefs
So we're back around the the original thrust of the comment. And you think that the video is an unfounded hit piece.
Here's some polls. Post me a poll. Post me a video.
Don't give me some literal Alex Jones level conspiracy gobbltey guk about the moon.
Yes...
You keep going in circles and repeating propaganda...
It's clear logic isn't going to help you, and you're just going to keep spreading Bibi's pro-Israel propaganda because you're somehow (maybe intentionally) incapable of understanding that it is propaganda.
Brother I understand all art is propaganda.
Provide me a source, of any kind.
Everyone who disagrees with me is a shill is a bad look.
