I’d tend to agree here. While I haven’t noticed it much during other conflicts, I think this one has been a hive of disinformation and lies, probably from both sides?
I find myself actively disregarding every article and a piece of news, especially since the hospital bombing affair. Just can’t trust anyone to not be pulling a trick by embellishing numbers or leaving out a crucial piece of information. I don’t think that’s a new concept or that it started now, but it’s become apparent to me in the last few weeks.
I don’t envy the role of people who have to make actual impactful decision, often on the basis of incomplete reports.
A few days ago I posted "It's more that robots don't care if people die. Some humans too." -in a discussion about robots.
When I got a down vote I guessed that it was for the second sentence. But it sent me into a whirl of thought. What do you feel that results in a down vote for something so abstract? I assumed it was someone on one side of that conflict, but which. Either way they must feel that they are somehow culpable or why take offence. So really was it for highlighting what they already thought? Is that the real cause, something like - I feel uneasy about my side so I would rather you didn't challenge me with it?
Or maybe it's just about robots.
