    Disinformation post ahead of election season - big shocker.

    These aren’t snipers, they’re spotters. You can’t even make out what is in front of the dude in all black.

    OPs only response to the closest thing we have to real fact being given was “I don’t buy it”

    Seems legit. Toodles.

    And now you’re deleting my posts lol. What a joke.

      TIL spotters like to use one normal sized spotting scope alongside another one that’s the size of a rifle with a cover on it. Doesn’t make sense to me but I’m no spotter.

        different optical prescription of each eye.
        One is prescribed for myopia the other for dystopia.

        Just because you can’t read Chinese doesn’t mean it was spam.

        Industry standard tiananamen square copy pasta that gets Chinese propaganda pushers in trouble with Winnie The Pooh. You realize how this looks for you and this instance right?

            No need to get bent out of shape, was just defending myself and enriching the comment section with more context.

            So sorry

                Look, can we start this over? I don’t like how this played out and I too was getting bent out of shape for what was likely good-intentions.

                I’d understand if you were still upset and needed some time yet, totally fine

                Lemmy is supposed to be better than Reddit culture, and be more civilized, and I feel like this was a fail here. I’d like to try again and maybe we can have some civil discourse about this if you’re up for it

                    The conversation I meant, but I agree with adding an edit with more information

                    I think that’s just fair reporting

      Where do you think the administration got the info that its just spotters from? Cops. The fact that they even called the cops is a red flag.

      What the fuck does this have to do with the election?

            Because it’s better than believing an unregulated social media site that’s been proven to pedal disinformation repeatedly??

            A platform owned by the richest man in the world who happens to be the son of South African apartheid?

            A platform for which he removed fact checking on?

            The only picture you have, you can’t even make out what’s in front of them?

            Can I ask why you deleted my comment that had the Tiananmen Square Massacre copy pasta?
