A wave of women influencers have transformed into super-engines of Israel advocacy since Oct. 7. The ‘hasbaristas’ seamlessly blend lifestyle content with nuance-free Zionist activism. Are they good for hasbara? Was hasbara ever good for Israel?

Makes me wonder how deep does the algorithm divide go. In these 1.5 years I was never served an explicitly pro-Israel content. On the other hand I was served pro-Palestinian and even some anti-Israel creators.

Sure this is just anecdotal, but there must be something behind it. The algorithmic bubble, or intentional manipulation, idk?

IF you’re using Google, then it’s probably systematic algorithmic-bubble:

I saw some article which showed what Google was showing different people, for the same search, and it was sickening how polarized the extremes were through Google.

I now use DuckDuckGo.com unless it simply isn’t finding what I’m trying to find, & only then do I cross over to the machiavellian-search side, for a search’s results…

Algorithmically-enforced polarization of humakind, into the only-ideological-terrorism-REMAINS … extreme … is certain, now, for this world.

But at-least money will have been made, while contributing to the extermination of this world’s people, so there’s that, I guess…

/s

bitter sarcasm, at that…

Intentionally enforcing ideological-polarization is contributing to genociding.

& ought be dealt-with exactly as such.
