Cult mentality

Figuring this shit out is a lot of work to be honest. Even a truthful source can be misleading as hell by omitting important context. Just like for hardware review, or video game review, or whatever, I try to find someone whose reporting omit nothing on some stuff I heavily researched (it's rare), and only then I feel comfortable weighting in their report on the stuff I know less about.

On the other hand, a lot of people just eat everything up from some random source they grew up with because the alternative is a lot of work, mentally and emotionally.

That being said, there is a certain point where listening to those people's opinions stop being fruitful. Hence, I don't really care about any extremist views in places like Lemmy.

Don't you just love being fed plausible deniability BS over and over and over again. I've lost friends over this bs. People who always argue in bad faith, always invoke plausible deniability, always min/max each interaction with hidden motives - should be given no attention and credibility. Unfortunately, those people strives in corporate environments, and as you would expect, they're often responsible for marketing, PR, sales, and corporate strategies. Corporations are the annoying lying friends you don't want around.

This is my stance as well. I have a decade of experience and I have been a workaholic, so at this point I wouldn't want to work somewhere with that bs anyway. I also have experienced one great HR team.

That being said, I know how the game is played. A decade ago, I listed a dozen things on my resume I would have had trouble to demonstrate, but nowadays I can just build a nice story that is 100% truthful from cherry-picked facts. Sad truth is that if you're too candid you might come off as too disengaged nowadays. I've seen it happen in interviews. Best to pretend that your life led to this moment, and that you're that kind of person to find exciting whatever kind of work it is. If you lack experience for entry-level roles, just fill the gaps with lies.

It's the same for every place you need to apply or pitch an idea where the places are limited. Criterias just get absurd, and even acing the criterias might not be enough. People who rise are simply the better bullshiters.

Years ago my friend received a call for a job, within minutes the HR person asked if he had a good experience with a certain language and he flat out said no, even though he had some very basic knowledge. The interview ended right there. I just couldn't believe that he wouldn't lie, he was perfect for the job, but HR does not care. He's been in the same role for 10 years and unwilling to "lie" to get a promotion or a new role, so that is where we are. This 30% of honest employees is probably not getting the best jobs.

They needed a good casus belli, this is as good as it is gonna get for them PR-wise.

Truth is virtually no country ever denounce shit if they have something to lose doing so. Geopolitics is rooted in each nation self-interest.

On top of that, Palestinians just hasn't been good neighbors and no country on earth want to bring the kind of chaos of taking them as refugees. So we have it. Most nations will root for Israel out of self-interest, and pretend there is no need to take refugees.
