Same outcome either way. Disinfo is disinfo, whether it’s outright false or severely twisted or one sided

Vet every single thing you allow into your brain for validity. Idc if it’s your family or your friends

Not sure honestly what the cause is (I doubt there’s a singular explanation, nothings black and white like that ever)

I do know there are some common problems with contamination, costs (China might’ve grabbed this opportunity), market demand for whatever the output of the recycling operation is fluctuating, logistics, and I’m gonna argue that there’s not really much legislation to push for this.

The good news is they recently were able to make graphene with plastics (very high demand, tough to produce) which could be huge for civ as a whole. Things like space elevators are more plausible with advances like these

I hate to be that guy but, I think many would be surprised to know this is pretty common. They used to dump the recycling bins into trash bins at a few places I was at believe it or not.

Not a single major news org ran this story that I could find.

You mean to tell me X is peddling disinformation? Shocker. Muskrats prefer marshes and swamps after all.

I’m not convinced you can. The NSA had the whistle blown on their little fingerprint gloves they would wear, highly doubt in todays age you could know definitively who is doing what

Found the .ml user

Oh that’s cool, live organ harvesting

Hmm who else has historically done this and was more or less supporting Russia…

Hmmm

Nothing crawled up my ass, I’m being pretty civil here. Not sure how you’re reading it in your own head cannon, but I promise it was just conversational. Sorry if any of what I said led you to think otherwise.

The original source is still posted, bolding sections is probably the absolute least amount of “editorial” as you can get.

Just pointing out that the use of bold font in summarizing an article is pretty harmless. That’s all.

Author of the article, author of the post, etc

You don’t put restrictions on citizens, you highlight the dangers and let them decide for themselves. The authors choice to put a bolded section here is and should always be interpreted as their own and people should read the article themselves.

Everything that I said before still stands in this case

…. Or you know, the authors choice to bold what they find important, y’know because they’re the ones writing the story and you can and should be looking at multiple sources for a bigger picture

K lol, you act like you’ve made a point here

Remind me which country was it that was running election interference for trump?

And these are the people republicans think are “not so bad”

Remember that when it’s your family randomly dying by “some freak accident “

I’m not sure I could fairly attribute the current actions of this instance with a political system per se.

Lots of places try to hide behind surface level groups, but don’t actually employ the dogmas or beliefs in practice.

A good local example would be the Christo-fascist republicans in the US - largely just sycophants

Had to make sure this wasn’t posted on lemmy.ml before commenting

Think that says enough.

Can’t agree with you any more, we’re on the same page here

Let’s be clear - this was a disgusting move on behalf of the US. Something that happened under Drumpf, specifically pushed by the military state, and against actual diplomats wishes.

This, yet again, was stupidity pushed by the toxic burning pit of tires that is the military in the US. Backed by a moron Fascist, that was shutdown when Biden came into office (eventually, after it worked for the most part and became less relevant - go figure. Classic opportunistic, ‘we’re the good guy’ democrats)

This government is rotten and decaying and its death is expedited by war-hungry militaries. As it appears to be, across the world and nations. We have a human problem on our hands and no amount of “we’re the good guys” will ever solve it. Everyone is complicit in this shit and it’s time we fucking own up to our failures and struggles to actually solve the root of our problems. Enough is enough.

Nah, live ammo will be just fine.

Oh that’s an easy one - see the southern people of Texas need something like this so when they try to over throw the countries leaders and turn it into a fascist hell hole, they have an easier time
