In a win for the White House, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has cleared the way for President Trump to fire two Democratic members of independent agencies. In a 2-1 decision, the court found that restrictions on the president’s power to remove officers of the executive branch are unconstitutional.
I have OP tagged as having frequently shared Russian propaganda in comments sections.
This is purposefully divisive content. It’s not incorrect but OP has an agenda. Tag them and keep track yourselves.
They seem to be trying to drive a ‘doomer’ sentiment.
i.e. “were fucked give up it’s over”
They post on both sides of the aisle but a sentiment analysis of their posts reveals intent.
His news sources are often the most leftist coated articles from the most tankie sources. I feel we should judge based on the articles shared rather than the sites he frequent, but it is worth keeping in mind the staff of their news orgs are extremely anti-nato and can’t quite seem to condemn Putins aggression as fervantly as they condemn Europe arming itself in a defensive stance… but you’d only see that if you explored the sites’ other takes than what’s being shared here. Whether the goal is to soften people on these sources, idk, but it’s not for a mod to say a factual article should be removed because other articles hosted there are more dubious. Just my 2c
Yeah. The vibes I get are a sort of attempt to slowly shift the overton window kind of thing. Thanks for your work here. Seems to confirm my suspicion there.
Lemmy is really kind of shaping up in a way that… I might reach out to a local higher education institution and try and get some real research done. I feel like it’s more plain as day here than it is on Reddit? It’s like super easy to see.
There are definitely more of them on Reddit, but I think new accounts there stand out more as an attempt to obfuscate prior intent since reddit has been around forever and lemmy still gets a lot of highly involved new users or people switching instances without intent to deceive. I’d be curious if an actual analysis shows a trend of soft introductions to soft on Russia sources using articles that don’t mention Russia or Ukraine at all. Still, even if shown to be the primary technique, it’s a hard sell to moderate based on articles that weren’t linked, and certainly larger media corporations have a few crappy false articles a month as well, not even to mention opinion pieces.
What strange comments. Admits being pro Russian but says Putler “made a mistake” sending in troops, and when confronted says he advocates for “class warfare.”
Only 23 days and it’s a treasure trove.
What app are you using that lets you tag users?
Connect for Lemmy.
