Community description for ManufacturingConsent is “when the media decides who you are rooting for.” So, being banned for questioning their narrative strikes me as absurdly funny. I mean, I guess if the idea of the community is that geneva_convenience should decide whom you root for, that would track.

The post in question: https://piefed.ca/post/266435

(I pointed out that the Guardian was probably including the hostages who died after the attacks. This really bugged OP and led to a ban.)

I don’t really care for a remedy, seems a silly place. Just thought it was funny as heck.

(For what it’s worth, like most, I side with Palestine but I think being accurate lends credence to our cause.)

          Lol can’t imagine why a group of people or their supporters (which you now fall into) would want to spread scurrilous remarks about another group whose purpose is to document their toxic extremism.

            The entire point of that community it specifically to instigate harassment.

            whose purpose is to document their toxic extremism.

            Do you think describing it this way makes not look like an odd place? This just reinforces it

              So says every extremist to have ever had evidence documented against them. I linked a megathread with extensive collected evidence that you have consistently refused to even look at, because you’re too busy blindly defending a toxic ideology that praises authoritarian regimes.

              So of course you’re pulling a page from the authoritarian handbook and calling something setup to document and provide evidence against them every name on the book to discredit it. Classic.

                Til pointing out how bad the optics of a place are makes me an authoritarian.

                    yes your honor I went in, took a shit on the floor but it’s them who were mean for removing me

                    No it’s a thread where a person minimizing news organizations news that would make Israel look bad is upset having that pointed out
