But… They’re right? The NWS did send out a warning shortly after 1AM. It was local emergency officials who dropped the ball and didn’t pass on the warning until 7AM.
Is everyone just too far in their bubbles now that they reject whatever actually happened in favor of whatever narrative their side of the internet made up?
They’re only right from a surface-level examination. The context of my own comment, the comment that you replied to, is enough to prove you wrong. Moreso, other people in this very thread have mentioned that while, yes, they did indeed send out a warning, the warning was severely out of scale for what actually happened, exactly like I said in the comment you replied to.

The irony being, by ignoring the context of my comment as well as the thread as a whole, this is exactly what you’re doing.
Yea this is what I want to make people aware of. I’m not sharing that to be shitty. I’m just really struggling with valid posts and comments in spaces I hang out in lately and I want to make sure people don’t stop looking for details or facts before jumping on these hate circle jerks.
There’s valid criticism but if we’re getting caught with invalid criticism then credibility erodes.
I think having social media split politically has caused a lot of new errors. Almost every event lately I have been switching between left and right wing platforms. There’s a big issue on the left with details. Again not trying to be shitty but it’s what I’m noticing. The left wing spaces use to be a lot more factual but since COVID things have gone downhill.
All the chuff, none of the nuance. As I stated, and as others have stated, the point isn’t whether the NWS did or did not do something at all, it’s that what they did do, they did wrong. Very wrong. They’re still getting it wrong.
Flooding is common in Texas, and is generally a minor hazard. That’s how it was reported. That’s not what happened. That is the valid criticism that you’re intentionally disregarding.
And this is what you do. I’ve seen other comments of yours. Time and time again, you try to play “devil’s advocate,” but you do so by disregarding any arguments that don’t align with right-wing talking points. Anything you can’t refute, you subtly push aside, trying to bury it within these little nonsensical attacks.
I would disagree with what you’re saying. I’m not attempting to play devil’s advocate. I want to know better what is happening. I’m pissed off with people on the left as much as people on the right. But overall I’m noticing a shift where people on the left are becoming much less informed. They’re holed up in places like Lemmy missing a lot of information. Why did I need to go to a right wing space to find out there was an alert given. Yes that alert was pretty much useless but it’s such a critical part in all of this. In almost all recent events, I keep seeing critical details only on right wing spaces. The left leaning spaces have more content and comments but lack quality and information. That’s not playing devil’s advocate, I’m pissed off.

I hate it here.
Okay, I’ll just respond factually, then.

Please be a nicer person.
Hug every fascist, amirite?
Man, I wish instance blocks extended to users.
How is anything in the comment you were replying to even remotely suggesting they are a facist? Not everyone you disagree with is a Nazi…
(And ironically “everyone who is not 100% with me is akin to my worst enemy” is a very facist mindset)
