    I mean, it’s a thing the way all propaganda is a thing, but it’s not just inaccurate it’s deliberate because that’s how propaganda works.

    that doesn’t change the hard facts that both sides somehow find their way to differently flavored authoritarianism

    If you truly believe this you have no concept of what Socialism and/or Communism actually is and have fallen HARD for CIA propaganda.

    Start with the FOIA section of the CIA website before they take it all down and read up on what the actually admit to when it comes to propagandizing US citizens.

    Good luck.

      Yeah you’ll need to be more accurate than ‘start with the FOIA section’ — right now I’m laughing at John Mulholland being paid $3k by the CIA to write a fucking ‘guide on trickery and deception’.

      Unless you’re trying to say I’ve fallen for propaganda because they’re good at sleight of hand, at that point I can just direct my laughter in your direction.

          Right.

          While I’m doing that, how about you look up burden of proof buddy?

          You’ll figure it out. Actually, on second thought, you likely should have already known about this. Which does beg the question ‘Why are you acting like you don’t?’ .

            Bro, I don’t know what propaganda you’ve swallowed. I can’t anticipate where your knowledge holes are. You’ll have to be thorough on your own dime.

            I’m not getting paid to educate you.

            Frankly, IDGAF what you believe one way or the other, I’m just trying to help you by pointing out the obvious.

            You’ve fallen for CIA propaganda. Like how you think Communism is bad and don’t seem to consider just how many billions of dollars the US spends every year to keep you believing that.

            I’m sure the Fascists in control are happy with you though, so at least you’ve got that.

            Toodles.

              pointing out the obvious

              By pointing to a set of pages that elaborate on what you mean?

              No, let’s examine what you did instead:

              1. you demean me by suggesting I’m simply brainwashed because I disagree with you, further by suggesting I’m uneducated.

              2. you backpedal like a child into ‘IDGAF’, seriously I had flashbacks to high school debates.

              3. you reiterate that you think I’m somehow brainwashed by the CIA into thinking communism is bad (which isn’t even remotely what I said)

              4. you more or less call me a fascist

              I was wrong to communicate with you at all, you are an idiot child.

                Look at you pulling out the numbered list like a BIG BOY!

                See, now try to imagine if you put even that much effort into figuring out what other low-hanging CIA propaganda you fell for!!

                You poor thing.

                you are an idiot child.

                So I’m getting that I should just lead with this when I address the clueless like you on Lemmy?

                Would that work better for you?

                I was trying to be nice, but if you require that kind of thing, I’m not yucking anybodies yum.

                You Idiot Child.

                  If that’s you trying to be nice you need to get some therapy. Great job proving you aren’t a child, by the way — with the ‘I’m rubber you’re glue’ argument. Very intelligent, your points are very valid. I’d give you a gold star but I’m fresh out, darn.
