Empathy is not a Chinese psyop.
Anyway, here's actual evidence of elected officials contradicting your anecdotal narrative:

- qarl2 2mo agoSo where are the street protests for Cuba then? I marched for Gaza three times. I haven't seen a single one for Cuba. I'm not saying empathy is a Chinese psyop. The empathy is real. But empathy requires awareness - and awareness IS controlled by the algorithm.

- qarl2 2mo agoSo you deny the algorithm profoundly influences awareness then?
- toomuchtodo 2mo agoI take no position on the algorithm, I don't have enough context or subject matter expertise to speak authoritatively on the topic. My point is a single person can only care about so much, and can exhaust their compassion reserve. Can't be a passionate, engaged activist about everything.
- qarl2 2mo agoGood. Because it seems pretty obvious that the algorithm profoundly influences awareness.
- toomuchtodo 2mo agoYou say obvious but provide no citations or data. “Some people say” or “it’s obvious” is not a sufficient foundation for an assertion.

- boston_clone 2mo agoi guess we’re seeing why your first account was nuked. if you’re failing to make a convincing point, you have to do better than replying with “LOL.”
- qarl2 2mo ago[flagged]
- boston_clone 2mo agoDo you think that the issues deserve the same attention, or are you perhaps making a false equivalence? As far as I’m aware, children aren’t being shot in the head and forcibly starved by an occupying force in Cuba. But to say that folks don’t care is clearly inaccurate.
- qarl2 2mo agoI am making the fairly obvious point that Americans don't care about the Cubans like they did the Palestinians, despite the fact that the Cubans are directly suffering under the Americans, and in the case of the Palestinians it was indirect.
- boston_clone 2mo agothinking that those two things need the same level of attention is for sure a false equivalence for reasons stated elsewhere. glad we got to the bottom of that one. further, we also saw that Americans do care, which is why we had elected officials there last month and can read about it through AP.
- qarl2 2mo agoStraw man.
- boston_clone 2mo agoyawn. go troll elsewhere.
- qarl2 2mo agoAd hominem.
- watwut 2mo agoIt is not really indirect, USA supports that genocide openly, polically and with arms. But even more importantly, the care is result of years and years of leftist activism. Nothing to do with china, judt that awarness dont happen overnight. Yours "if you are not active in absolutely everything, any action is invalid" is just a bad faith nonsense.

- qarl2 2mo agoNo, your country is directly killing people. No third party involved. > dufus Tsk tsk.
