I was just perusing the modlog when I noticed something interesting. Apparently posting news about Gaza/Palestine is not allowed on !worldnews@sh.itjust.works. I decided to check the side bar and didn’t see anything. The only pinned post also does not indicate that this is not allowed

edit: the mod in question is @Eyekaytee@aussie.zone . sorry for not originally tagging. i hadn’t realized it was a rule that this must be done. i thought it seemed inappropriate since i was trying to initiate a conversation about a community’s rules and culture rather than start drama about an individual

    i don’t see any holes poked:

    1. faith is not strictly a religious experience. it is a human experience. religious people engage with it and center it in their lives in a particular way, but we all engage in faith everyday. for example i am engaging right now in faith that my words have value and that saying them will provide value, that it’s worthwhile to put effort towards build a better world
    2. i am arguing for education, not indoctrination and hamas doesn’t want an informed public, just like israel doesn’t. education is a framework of providing the younger generations the tools to recognize and seek truth. i’m actually even a little unsure why you brought up hamas when i have at no point provided any indication i think they’re the way forward. but i’ll take it on faith that you had your reasons and say that part of international solidarity is providing marginalized people the tools not to relay on exploitative groups. organized criminal outfits like the bratva, hamas, and kosher nostra thrive in hateful uneducated environments because they offer the opressed what feels like the only way to persist into tomorrow. what i am advocating for throughout these comments is to not give these groups power by empowering the people who empower them via desperation. part of how you do this is you decentralize authority, and to do that you need to teach the children how to understand the context they find themselves in

      And how does one go about deprograming the masses? Because propaganda runs rampant, there’s so much of it in this very thread
