Seriously what the fuck is this? Googling this specifically because someone in my fam shared a boycott list including Shein and Temu and I thought hang on, what are they doing to fund the genocide in Israel, and saw that it was a boycott for the very real Uyghur genocide

a lot of results!

About 45,700 results.

May I see them?

No.

I was actually going to post a more vague version of this.

Every time I find myself in an argument online, I straight up can’t find the information that existed at the time. Things I’ve seen. From sources I was familiar with.

I really don’t know how to circumvent this problem. Even if I VPNed into a good source, I couldn’t copy/paste it for a lib because the link won’t work for them and they will

I’m surprised articles about the pied piper strategy still exist.

Yandex.com is the Russian Google and it will very happily give anti American articles

Yup. Hillary elevated trump and he beat her. People who donate to democrats can and will have their money funnelled into crazy right wing campaigns.

Then they have the nerve to turn around and complain when the ®'s do it.

If you know when you saw it, you can try filtering by the date range, if it shows up. That’s what I do when I need to prove that the CDC and CNN created virtually every anti-mask conspiracy talking point in early 2020.

Do libs just say “that’s old shit”?

Never in the 50 year history of the internet has anyone ever been presented with evidence and changed their mind.

No, they usually say that the recommendations changed because of new evidence. What evidence existed at the time that wearing a mask could increase your chances of catching a respiratory illness (as was claimed by the CDC), they never say. The more self-aware ones will acknowledge that they lied, but will still defend it on the basis of, “They were trying to preserve masks for healthcare workers” which is partially true, but anyone who thinks that’s a valid reason for betraying public trust should get the wall. Even when they see that they were lied to and that it caused countless deaths, they still make excuses for the people they perceive to be on their “team” and try to shift the blame entirely onto the other side. “At least the CDC didn’t tell people to drink bleach, like Trump did!” They simply apply the same mental framework they use when confronted with the Iraq war or the genocide of Palestinians or mass incarceration or mass surveillance or any number of other things. There are literally no limits to lesser evilist brainworms, and no matter how well you cite your claims, they’ll look at you like a conspiracy theorist for bringing it up instead of letting them memory-hole it. Libs want crimes like that to be buried and forgotten and mentioning the truth is uncivil, even if they know the truth, they want to pretend it didn’t happen. If they were honest, they’d prefer it if you were an anti-mask chud because that just reaffirms their worldview and allows them to pretend that they uphold scientific values.

I don’t know if it’s AI or just general enshitification, but I used to be able to find what I was looking for pretty quickly on the Goog until relatively recently. Now it seems like I have to fight it to get what I want.

There are quite literally hundreds of websites that index the internet

You would have to change a setting though and I understand why most libs just keep their windows machine on google by default ;)

Literally every time I use Duck Duck Go I have to go back and try Google to actually find what I’m looking for, so instead it is the other way around, if Google fails, then I try other engines

I was searching for information about a shooting in my city. Literally no results besides irrelevant news of other shootings. I had to switch to fuckin bing to get a basic article to show up

It seems that if the keywords are a combination of anything remotely involving illegal activities or notorious criminals and their activities, Google will block it.
