Social Media is the true Emperor's New Clothes. Now all the world can see the "elite" are just as dumb as the rest of us.
Double edged sword. It’s also a case of only being shown what they want to show us. Certainly change the information asymmetry, some better, some worse.
I highly doubt all of these officials have that resolve. I am confident most of them succumb to the urge to just post whatever drivel they feel at the moment. It requires so little effort.
I imagine their dermatologists are swamped with PR people who are facepalming so hard it actually ripped major patches of their face off.
For most of the last 75 years they could at least say "ooh, look, democracy", "we're far more westernized than our enemies", "outpost for repressed diaspora" and "we made economic development out of nothing, what ever got built when it was Palestine" and it was enough to nerf most Western complaints. If they kept a low profile, they could slow-motion a genocide and get away with it. They had mastered a delicate ballet.
Thry got greedy, figuring they could leverage October 7th into a license for a full scale territory grab, and now they're in full crackhead-with-a-Kalishnikov mode.
Not to mention shooting your own civilians. experts warning - it's a genocide
oh yea, and blocking any sort of food aid into Gaza, great PR move...
most moral army in the world kills civilians on both sides of the conflict to remain fair and balanced
Targeting aid convoys is war crime tho. Don’t see that in every conflict
Shadow the hedgehog is badass though. He has guns and rides a motorcycle.
and he's red and black which is obviously way cooler than blue.

Yeah Israel wants to be protagonist so bad. But there's a real war in Ukraine where both parties involved strugle to gain superiority against the other. One of those parties needs our help before it gets overrun.
Then there's Israel conflict where superiority is clearly completely one sided.
Well, they found a solution to that spoiler
attacking Iran for no reason.
cartoonishly evil scumbaggery using literally evil cartoon characters as their proxies. incredible.

Sir this is a meme community for fun. Please post OSINT in serious communities!
Fire-hose propaganda is not for people who pay attention to current events. It's kinda like those scam emails with the bad grammar: they're trying to filter away the tuned-in to get to their core audience.
A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
