🚨#BREAKING: Absolute chaos is unfolding as Pro-Palestine protesters have taken down the three American flags and burning them at Union Station and replaced them with Palestinian flags.

📌#Washington | #DC

Currently, absolute chaos is unfolding as thousands of Pro-Palestine protesters have gathered at Union Station in Washington, DC. Moments ago, they took down three American flags and replaced them with Palestinian flags, with crowds of thousands cheering. The three American flags are being burned along with a mannequin of Netanyahu in effigy. Stun grenades have been deployed. Numerous police officers have been trying to stop the violent chaotic scenes but have been pushed back by protesters and activists the atmosphere is extremely tense, with protesters chanting slogans and waving banners. Smoke from the burning flags is filling the air, and there are reports of minor injuries among both protesters and police. Authorities are urging people to avoid the area as they attempt to regain control. Additional law enforcement reinforcements are being called in, and nearby streets have been closed off. The situation remains highly violent and is still developing.

He's hilighted in red and tagged as a fascist propagandist. It makes it much nicer to surf Lemmy when the bots, trolls, and propagandists are tagged.

Edit: words

Thank you for taking the time to share your views instead of just joining the downvote mobs.

I know that life is much easier when you can stick your head in the sand and just label everyone that does not think or agree with you as "bots, trolls, and propagandists.". When I was younger, I also did a similar thing on Reddit.

We must remember to not construct our own echo chambers while deluding ourselves as having the higher moral ground.

We must continue to be willing to talk with any working-class people, even if we do not agree or share their views.

I hope to continue to see you and encourage others, as well, to interact with my communities or posts; echo chambers are not healthy, and I thank you for pushing back on my own bias.

Everyone can see what you are. It's useless to engage with propagandists because it just amplifies their message.

[–] jimmydoreisalefty -5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I do not agree with your view, and that is okay; we may come to a compromise on other topics in the future.

[–] MapleEngineer 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

There is no chance that we could find a compromise that would be acceptable to me. Your opening position is untennably extreme. Some positions are simply unworthy of negotiation.

Thanks for letting me know. All is well; have a joyful day either way!

Peace.
