According to the debate, they had their reasons. But still -- when one hundred and eighty six nations say one thing, and two say another, you have to wonder about the two.

Colonists donating money made from stolen property be like:
Wow more anti-US propaganda from Lemmy.ml truly shocking
Is it propaganda if it's true?
Technically it can be. Propaganda isn't propaganda because it's false, but because it's one-sided and selective.
In my defence (and okay, it's a very limited and crappy defence) my post said "According to the debate, they had their reasons. But still β when one hundred and eighty six nations say one thing, and two say another, you have to wonder about the two."
So I sort of presented a balanced argument. Not a very balanced one, but I did present an attempt at putting America and Israel's side, even if it was a half-arsed one.
I don't think what you said was propaganda, I'm just being pedantic.
Most propaganda is essentially truthful.
You do know that people can dislike the decisions America makes and be vocal about that, without it being propaganda right?
Yes, and I also know that Lemmy.ml is a factory for authoritarian propaganda
Wow, a critical comment that adds nothing of value to the conversation, attacking the commenter instead of the comment. Even more shocking!
If an abusive husband refuses to let his wife have a bank account, should we celebrate his generosity for all the spending money he "gives" her?
Now do per capita
You sure you donβt want it as a percentage of GDP?
Americans HATE this one trick
I was going to ask what countries the aid goes to, and what classes as aid.
