How is Israel, England, Australia or Canada assaulting US first amendment? Even if they wanted, they couldn't. It's US internal thing. Only US citizens can change it from inside.
And those countries proved that are not "supposed" allies. They proved it when US called for help. They came, helped, bled and died for US.
Actually it’s the opposite
1st amendment is external thing, not internal US thing and England, Australia and Canada did not respond when US called for help?!
Is propaganda a weapon?
Propaganda can be a tool, a technique, a process and yes, a weapon. It’s used by everyone. Governments, political movements, corporations, media, religions, advocacy groups, and individuals. The US uses it. Canada uses it. The UK and Australia use it. Businesses use it. Private citizens use it.
If using propaganda disqualifies someone as an ally, then the US has never was an ally to anyone and had an ally and no country has ever been a friend to another. As long as humans have tried to influence opinions, propaganda has existed. That’s just reality.
By that standard, even internal political campaigning would count as hostile action. Which is obviously absurd.
For example: Elon Musk openly encourages Europeans to vote for extremists and attacks moderate political solutions. He’s far from the only American doing this. So hearing accusations of “foreign propaganda” coming from the US is, frankly, ironic.
What’s really interesting in the current situation is this:
People are suddenly calling influence from the UK, Canada, and Australia “propaganda” countries that have admired the US for decades, adopted large parts of US culture, and literally fought, bled, and died alongside Americans when the US asked for help.
At the same time, many of those same people downplay or ignore propaganda from China and Russia countries whose explicit goal is to weaken the US and reshape it into something more like themselves.
If I were China or Russia, my primary objective would be simple: Use propaganda to divide Americans. Help elect the most incompetent and corrupt leadership possible. Convince people that longtime allies are enemies. Wrap it all in slogans about “making the country great again”.
You are being played but you have no idea by who.
you answered my question in the first sentence, the rest is your own framing and extrapolation (propaganda 😉 )
And none of which is attack on US 1st amendment like i wrote in my original replay.
The subject of the OP is an Israeli citizen making his case (propaganda) as to why the US First Amendment needs to be "limited in order to protect it"
Americans would be rightly justified in perceiving this propaganda as an "attack" or "assault" on the First Amendment
If you think that individual talking on TV is attack or assault than you have WAY bigger problems than you think you have.
thank you for that insight, it's incredibly vague (and ominous!!), but thanks anyways
have a nice day
Name the problems.
Confusing speech with censorship. Thinking criticism equals an “attack.” Not understanding that the First Amendment restricts the government, not private individuals or TV commentators, etc. Criticizing, talking about change etc. of 1st amendment is ironically protected by1st amendment.
And that's not all. For attack on 1st amendment to have an effect, 1st amendment would have to be changed. For 1st amendment to be changed, there should be overwhelming support of American people.
What do you think American people are like if you think that someone talking on TV can make them support changing 1st amendment? Do you see a problem there? No...do you see multiple big problems there?
If you think that talking does change minds of big majority, if all it takes is talk to loose foundation of your country, what does that tell you about whole thing? Do you see multiple problem there?
Thinking that Canada, England or Australia are somehow attacking US 1st amendment and are not real allies, while ignoring Russia and China, that's absolutely ridiculous and tells more about you than about system that you think is attacked or US citizens that you think would be willing to change it because of that attack.
And all that while US president is limiting reporters....holy shit dude....holy shit.
Israel never came, helped, or bled for the United States. Australia certainly did, they sent troops to assist us with the First and Second World Wars, and in recent times the Korean War, Vietnam War, Gulf War, Afghanistan, and Iraq. But all Israel has ever done is attack the USS Liberty. Don’t you fucking dare compare those goddamned scheming yids in Israel to our actual greatest ally, Australia.
Regardless, Aussies should fuck right off if they want to interfere with free speech.
