Conspiracy theory doesn't mean false or crazy. Some conspiracies are crazy/false. But not all. There is a way to generally pick out the bat shit theories pretty quickly though. The more people that are required to maintain a conspiracy, the less likely it is to be a thing.

So for conservatives where they insist that the world is conspiring against them and that they aren't just assholes. They're just assholes. In the case of Russia and China running foreign influence operations. We have evidence they do. We know America does. And we know ML or people generally from .ml domains are generally just anti American hypocrites eager to play along just to bash America.

That said, if they are doing this. And they are. Pelosi just gave them plenty more ammunition. The United States is making a lot of unforced errors when it comes to Israel. All we had to do was step back for a little bit and act cautious.

Pelosi's claim is that protestors have Russian ties, because, you know, opposing genocide is anti-American.

Oh also Hamas attacked on Putin’s birthday

Sonofabitch, you're right they did.

We don't hate the Jews. We hate the genocide. Love the sinner. Hate the sin.

If I was living in Gaza right now, I’d be transforming myself into a human revenge machine. Even if nobody I knew personally had been killed. Just seeing my neighbors being slaughtered, I’d be quietly and coldly calculating.

I don't know how making an almost pedestrian (in international relations terms) idea sound incredulous and fantastical is supposed to refute that idea, but it certainly makes you come across as, shall we say, suspiciously out of touch.

"oh right, and you're just going to beam me that message over the "airwaves" like some kind of "electronic mail"? Haha try pulling the other one, it has bells on."

That has been Russia's game for more than a decade now: stoke existing tensions. Brexit, political polarization in the USA and internal division in nearly all European countries.

Bringing the already uneasy situation between Israel/Palestine to a boiling point in order to distract from Russia's war in Ukraine is not a big stretch.

Exactly. I swear, at this point Lemmy.world is just another Reddit propaganda zealot parade. From what was once the leader of the idea of enlightenment, the US now is like an alternate dimension where the average IQ is just 20 points lower. And it shows here, it really does. War is peace and the cold war is back on, yeehaw boys 🎉

Attention is actually a limited resource
