Community description for ManufacturingConsent is “when the media decides who you are rooting for.” So, being banned for questioning their narrative strikes me as absurdly funny. I mean, I guess if the idea of the community is that geneva_convenience should decide whom you root for, that would track.

The post in question: https://piefed.ca/post/266435

(I pointed out that the Guardian was probably including the hostages who died after the attacks. This really bugged OP and led to a ban.)

I don’t really care for a remedy, seems a silly place. Just thought it was funny as heck.

(For what it’s worth, like most, I side with Palestine but I think being accurate lends credence to our cause.)

    about accurately counting the killed?

    What are you counting so “accurately,” Clyde? Do you have an “accurate” tally of all the Israelis the IDF slaughtered on Oct 7 because murdering Palestinians is far more important to them than keeping their own people alive?

    Just so I understand,

    Don’t feign ignorance… seems to me that you know exactly what you are doing here.

              In the post, the thing about which you are commenting, there’s the death total provided by OP. There are hostages, taken in the attack who died as a result of being taken hostage.

              I provided both in the comment in this post.

              I have no idea what accurate tallies you are demanding or what they would have to do with the Guardians headline. Are you a bot?

            Why do you insist on talking like the most insufferable Reddit loser imaginable?

              Holy shit kid, I was going to give an actual response but then, good God, read your comment history. You seem determined to be miserable at people.

              I hope you are more pleasant in real life and/or things get better for you.

              Take care.
