First of all, just because I share an analysis someone made, doesn't mean that I agree with everything that person has said.
Why are you making this about you? I didn't say anything towards
you, it was my interpretation of the man in the video. Having said that, you did clearly say to watch the video if 'you're on the fence' and 'watch this people and tell me who really is the victim here'. I watched it, and I stated bluntly why that video has not convinced me of anything except that mans self evident bias.
Secondly, dismissing everything because of a disagreement is nonsensical. Thirdly, you seem to be out of the loop and not up-to-date anymore on the technological capabilities that governments/intelligence have (maybe "deep fake" tells you something). The fact that you can generate completely realistic looking photos and videos of people who don't even exist leads me too to question the authenticity of much of the photos/videos I see online. In fact AI-generated content has made me so sceptical that I hardly trust anything anymore that I see on screen, just what I witness myself. And keep in mind, THAT is the stuff they allow you to see. God knows what kind of technologies intelligence agencies have that we know absolutely nothing about.
Listen here, I was calling out what I believed to be legitimate state actor video fakery (i.e 9/11 plane videos) long before it became fashionable to simply label
anything as fakery. I've seen enough videos over the past two decades and done enough research to know what is possible to fake and what is not. Yes, you should not blindly trust everything that comes through a screen. Absolutely you shouldn't. But at the same time you have to apply discernment and not just blast
everything that doesn't fit your particular narrative, or you end up like Alex Jones making a total imbecile out of himself and discrediting everyone has legitimate questions about particular events.
AI can not fake shooting a dog twice at point blank outside with complex lighting, shadows, and movement. It can not fake attempting to lop a mans head off multiple times using a farming shovel. Even the really good AI content is still discernible as AI content if you know what you're looking for, and that goes for image, video, and audio. The video you posted backs my point up here, not yours. It's
obviously AI, at least to me. Lighting, shadows, masking/borders, it stands out like a sore thumb because it is really, really difficult to emulate those factors and make the whole piece look congruent.
I've already expressed my suspicions about the failure of Israeli intelligence here (see festival post). But at the same time that doesn't mean
everything is not real. Like with 9/11, there is clearly (IMO) fuckery going on with that event but that doesn't mean people did not die horrendously. Same applies in this context. Israeli intelligence
may have allowed this to happen, that is a real possibility, but that doesn't then mean Hamas didn't go around butchering and raping people.
@elgoucho9
He is absolutely correct.
"[...]it’s that when people get whipped into an emotional frenzy, critical thinking completely goes out the window.People become highly suggestible and will rush to extremely dangerous conclusions without thinking about the consequences."
This is crowd psychology in practice! This guy knows what he is talking about. IsraHell is using this incident to gain support for complete genocide. This is something they always wanted to do but never could. Now is their opportunity.
And how are you any different (or the man in that video you posted). You are both willing to jump to immediate conclusions and make excuses for brutality that has clearly occurred, in order to suit your own narratives.
It's not black and white, when it comes to military/state level psychological warfare. That's the whole point. No one is going to dissect the truth
accurately in the immediate aftermath of such occurrences, because these things (if they are state level) are layered extremely well, and not least because if you react emotionally you will immediately fall into traps of theirs (and your own) and not have the mental focus to think critically. It takes time to cool off and then analyse these things accurately.
