Sounds suspiciously like that “activism” was “existing”…

Please elaborate

The article sounds to me like there were people who are mortified at unwittingly having shared spaces with queer people who then probably mentioned something in passing that tipped them off about this dastardly scheme. That’s why they seem to be outraged at not being warned beforehand that queer people would be present.

Do you ask for gender identity when you interact with someone?

Lumidaub@feddit.org on 26 Sep 2025 17:24 collapse

No?

kami@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 26 Sep 2025 17:25 collapse

Precisely, so what’s the problem?

Lumidaub@feddit.org on 26 Sep 2025 17:32 collapse

I do not agree with those people. I’m saying that the presence and existence of queer people is what they call “activism” and I kind of didn’t think I had to explicitly say that it’s bullshit.

I apologize, I misunderstood your comments.

Yup, I saw that after posting the article. Still I see not that much of a problem with it if their facts are right.

Then you don’t understand anything about propaganda…

The most effective kind is a bias selection of true stories reported in a way to influence the reader

It’s basic media literacy in this day and age.

So did you find any misinformation? I will delete the post if you do. If not, I see no reason for doing so. They say there were disputes over some of the flotilla-people being queer and some being against queers. If they are right, they are right. If not, they are not. The selection doesn’t really matter if it doesn’t lead to a wrong view on the events.

This is also pretty standard with propaganda:

The poster insisting people treat it as valid and enter into a discussion about it.

Maybe you’re more experienced than it thought, otherwise it would be a pretty big coincidence

Peter_Arbeitslos@feddit.org on 26 Sep 2025 17:21 collapse

Sorry but I won’t discuss anything with you if you just tell me my post was propaganda and implying I was a propagandist without having any proof for it other than yourself.

If you don’t want to talk to someone, replying to their comments is an odd choice…

Not replying is much more effective at ending a conversation, feel free to try it.

Lumidaub@feddit.org on 26 Sep 2025 17:16 collapse

If the goal of the article was to influence people to take sides against queer people, then it’s doing a poor job.

Oh look, a homophobe doesn’t want to participate because of gay.

Does Netanyahu pay well?

Toss the homophobes into the sea and move on? Easy fix!

Did you read the article? It’s not quite that simple.
