Ukraine does it now Israel. It’s completely absurd.

It’s so fucking weird, they act like they’re completely removed from the actively engaged war they are in and tweet as if it’s prestige television. What the hell is going on?

i’m not convinced they have control of the narrative, so much as the media pretends they do. meaning i do not believe the masses at large consent or condone to any of this. Israel, with how bold-faced and bad they are at it, seem to be entirely losing control of said narrative at the moment.

but yeah i guess they are just seeing it as “media” and they have to be part of it, instead of putting any thought at all into what it actually looks like. if it showed up on the nightly news or whatever, fine that could eventually become a narrative, but with input coming in from the other side it really makes them look like fucking babies

of course, but thats what it is. Ukraine was probably the most televised/accessible war footage in forever. They embarked on a media blitz which largely worked until October 7 lol. Now Israel is trying to use the same tactics, make sure their name and their narrative isn’t necessarily accepted but known and available, and able to be pushed/spread/referred to by others.

Since late 2010s australia at least has been making a big fuss about the “cyber” domain of warfare. I’m sure they’re all leet haxors and all but this to me reads just as much as recognition of value/reach of social media/internet. You don’t have to reach everyone, only the ones that’ll listen. And there’s a lot that’ll listen. Uhh USDF twitch channel yolo swag 420noscope

a rave, right next to a concentration camp.

alternatively, the west collectively signalled they were ok with the israeli occupation, and everyone forgot about ukraine
