        So, I’m starting a bit of sampling for a study on fediverse et al. Every time I see someone say something hateful, dumb and or reprehensible seems to come from shitjustworks - do you have any insight into why? Are you folks paid trolls? Or do you go around spreading malice for free? Do you reckon I’m wrong and its not just your instance? If so, any suggestions as to where else should I go looking?

          Are you sampling more than just shitjustworks? If we’re all paid trolls I’m not doing a very good job at either… I’ve seen shit from a bunch of different servers, but is blaming a particular server a good way to be? Seems like that would be a vote in favour of centralization.

          Is it normal for people to pay attention to what domain users are from and not just focusing on the user and the content?

      Unless it’s in Lebanon, Pennsylvania then it’s not being shown on US news.

      And if it is, it’s only on a local TV station for that area.

      I don’t know how this comment makes me feel because even people at the displacement shelters here in Lebanon are excited to watch the World Cup.

      I feel like a lot of people, especially Americans who do not care for football, underestimate how universal this is. It’s much more honest of a distraction from the horrors of life than corpo pop culture

      Edit: On second thought I know exactly how I feel. I think this is pretty condescending. The world is fucked. A hostile army is inside my country and I believe we are being pressured to formally allow them to occupy land so we don’t fuck up the peace deal that is being negotiated right now. We have zero agency over what happens in our fucking country, regardless of how democratic or feudal we are.

      Let us at least enjoy the football. The Olympics and World Cup were frequently hosted by dictators, doesn’t minimize the feats people achieved or the fun of watching. Bread and circuses is some first world reductionism. People need bread. A bit of circuses is fun. Meeting up with friends and watching the games is always great, especially when you consider the only other thing to talk about is being fucked by war or fucked by work (if you think the economy is rough where you are, it’s probably not worse than here). If it’s at home FIFA isn’t getting any money out of us anyway.

        I remember there was some user named NEOdraconix or something like that, that asked for help in Gaza, hopefully still alive somehow. They had children with them…

        I think it was more commenting on the rest of the world being occupied with the world cup and Israel using that distraction to attack, knowing the coverage will be more limited because of it. By all means take any joy or solace you can get.

        I’m sorry, are you suggesting that past World Cup events weren’t “on the news”, when 5 billion people watched the 2022 tournament?!

    The irony is not beyond me in saying this, but… I hope someone nukes Israel off the map, enough of this shit. Fuck your “promised land”, terrorist pieces of shit.

      There’s a couple million Palestinians living there that do not deserve to be nuked.

      I can’t help but agree. Sometimes you just need to send a message, in WW2 with Japan.

      It’s either that, or let 10 million people bully the whole world.

      Unfortunately, at times it feels like that is the only thing that would stop that death cult. However, I would hope instead all countries dropping support for israel and sanctioning them until they stop would be enough.

      They’re arrogant because of all the backing they’ve received from powerful countries over the years. They need to be humbled.

        I don’t think sanctioning Nazi germany would have helped. I think this will turn into a world war to stop the United States/ Israeli greater genocide project and both sides will be sponsored by the Rothschild’s

        I mean, a world without Israel is enough to make me come. If Jesus wants to join in on the action, why not let him? For old times sake.

    Annexed would be the more technical term. See Jeffrey Epstein’s map of “Greater Israel” for details.

      According to the UN more than a million people have been displaced.

      Israel is trying to annex territory up to the Litani river and has said that no one will be allowed to return.

        Do you think Lebanon news is dropped off the airwaves in Lebanon and covered up with the Iranian distraction?
