@Im_ImErUb Il livello di disagio nei commenti al post è imbarazzante a dir poco. Niente triggera questi subumani quanto una persona realizzata e finanziariamente stabile senza figli

@hymage @MonicaBergamas9 La stessa Tisch ultra sionista, responsabile dei pestaggi agli studenti durante gli emcampments alla Columbia. Mamdani è solo controlled opposition su questo fronte e le sue posizioni sempre più annacquate sulla questione lo dimostrano benissimo.

[انوس @anoosify]

Honestly, Mamdani and his PR team are incredibly savvy. They're doing exactly what they promised: rebuilding the people’s trust in government, but through perception first.

Take the Israeli parade. First, he announces he'll be skipping it. That dominates headlines and reinforces the image of a mayor willing to take a bold stand, even at political risk. People who were skeptical start questioning their skepticism because the move feels authentic and principled.

Then, after that positive perception takes hold, you get something like the video below. He still announces that he won't attend the parade himself, so he keeps the positive publicity. But at the same time, he says he'll send a member of his administration instead: Jessica Tisch, whom he chose to retain despite her family's well-known ties to Netanyahu.

Most people won't notice the distinction. A small number like myself will criticize it, but by then the mass deception has already been established. The public focus shifts from scrutinizing the contradiction to defending the image of a "principled mayor." The net result is growing support, deeper belief in the system, and no political cost for it.

This is the same pattern I saw with his pro-Palestinian messaging. "Free Palestine" goes viral, his supporters rally behind him, and his popularity grows. Then later, he starts saying in interviews that “Israel has a right to exist.”

When I called it out and challenged him directly, the base had already been manipulated into a loyal following built around a radical image of him. Only months later did my criticism start to go mainstream, but by then the cycle had already reset and repeated itself.

That's what makes the strategy so effective. The headline-grabbing position comes first. The nuance comes later. By the time people notice the difference, the public perception has already been set and he’s onto the next thing.

Mattarella ha espresso solidarietà alla polizia italiana accusata di profilazione razziale e a Molinari per una contestazione democratica. Niente solidarietà per Francesca Albanese.

Ordine di evacuazione per 125mila libanesi che vivono a Tiro. L’antica Tiro, città fondamentale per la nostra storia, civiltà, cultura materiale. Israele sta distruggendo Tiro, dopo aver distrutto Gaza e pezzi interi di Beirut. Urbicidio in purezza

@elenorrossi @stebaraz Chi sostiene la colonia genocida non deve avere un minuto di pace, ovunque vada. Sono fatti comprovati, non opinioni. I tempi oscuri ci sono già, qualora non se ne fosse accorta. Non c’è tempo più oscuro di un genocidio impunito.

@ireallyhateyou @academic_la You're right. I can see them now; it must have just been a glitch or something. Shame that too many are still platforming this individual.
