    i never expected to see an anti-intellectualism sentiment expressed on lemmy before but i guess it makes sense coming from your instance.

    advertisements and the news from our legacy media are the biggest vehicles of this manipulation and you’re constantly bombarded by it, as i said earlier. you should likewise reject those narratives in the same way if you want to call yourself a rational and/or consistent human being.

    also, reading something that you haven’t doesn’t mean sophistication; it only means that i bothered to stop drinking western propaganda and i heartily recommend it, but i’m certain that you won’t bother.

        unsolicited political opinions are a matter of fact for life out in public and this poorly done burger king example is the one side of this coin with the well done hasbara being the opposite side.

        decrying the former while ignoring the latter is a selectively that can only be understood as that culturally ingrained and hasbara supported desire to stick your head in the a sand when it comes to topics you consider undesirable.
