Today I Learned
What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

What little green men do you think man the aircraft carriers, shoot down the missiles, or build the pier that was then used to kill civilians?
The US army is actively involved on every front of this war/genocide. Not to speak of the intelligence that they are probably providing.
And yes if you micro optimize the goal posts long enough there is bound to be a difference between Russian involvement in Ukraine before 2022 and Israel. But that is besides the point, the question is: would the Palestinian genocide be happening without direct US support? And the answer is irrefutably no.
American soldiers have not been used in any combat in Gaza, nor have the US carriers. So again, not a valid comparison to Ukraine.
You could draw the parallel with Russian weapons being used by India against Pakistan, but you could hardly argue that Russia was directly fighting a war with Pakistan there.
Would the Palestinian genocide be happening without US support?
That's not the comparison you made. You made a comparison with a directly invading army.
That is the detail that you got stuck on. The question was: is the US culpable in the Palestinian genocide, or is Israel just a third country?
Watch the news and it should be obvious what the answer is.
That is not the case you originally made. Your original case was that the US was performing the same role in Gaza as Russia was performing in Ukraine.
You failed miserably to defend this point. You have subsequently gone back and edited all your arguments to try and change them to be about whether the US is involved at all in Israel in a cheap effort to win the argument.
As usual, cheap propagandist tactics from .ml. I'm done.
It is, please reread the thread if you’re not convinced.
The edits are small wording changes made within minutes of posting them (before you responded to them).
Great job not sounding like a sore loser. 👌
Edit: the original posts with my point aren’t even edited.
Give my best to Putin.
I thought you were done.
