Considering the frequent angry and aggressive outbursts from dizzy on this thread, it shows they don’t care about who is supposedly showing emotion, just which side of the debate they are on. As always. It’s never about the message or the action, just the bias.
Yawn
Yawn
lol.
You done?
I really dislike people who try and demonise regular people for holding reasonable views.
Yawn
Exposed.
Okay but the reason I didn’t read that is because you cut out the part where I said I was wrong about that one lol. Oh well let’s not argue anymore. Kind of tired of it
I don't know where they are getting this from either. I asked the same but no response.
Sneaky stealth edit. I didn't cut anything.
Your entire rant was useless because you intentionally left out the part where I acknowledged I was wrong in conflating salary with net worth. The source I used Forbes didn’t mention that her net worth grew that much. It doesn’t change my original point though which is a lot of this stuff gets proven wrong over time like the condom story, the 8 million in funding, the shrimp story, etc. People lose sight of the big things happening for this reason. It was a plan outlined by Steve Bannon in the past. You flood the media with news stories so that the real damage goes unnoticed like taking away the CFPB which helped Americans recover 20 billion dollars lost from fraud. Anyway I’m done with this topic. We’re getting so far away from what this thread was created for and I’m pretty sure a mod is going to wipe this out soon so probably just a waste of time to continue further.
I’m not entirely sure where you’re going with this. This post seems kind of scattershot to me. I don’t think you will find too many people, left or right, defending the CIA outside of the warhawks. What the CIA does is way more serious than anything that happens in the gaming industry.
The CIA and USAID are directly linked, how is that scattershot? If they want to spread propaganda or disinfo they'll use the resources to get articles written. It's influencing culture through established structures.
It literally is not the same as in communist China. In China you get censored. In China you can get arrested or disappeared if you try to make media counter to the message. It’s a much different thing than funding something. You might not like it that the government funds a message, but it’s not a new thing. It’s not particularly insidious. What do you think the DARE campaign of the 80s was if not the government trying to affect our culture?
China funds and operates within our own country my dude. Why do you think the CIA spent millions of dollars through established networks to influence narratives? Just because you can't go directly to jail for posting something doesnt mean they're not working towards certain narratives. It is 100% insidious and its disingenuous to claim otherwise. The CIA is not looking for the betterment of the American people, theyre interested in the betterment of the CIA. This has been proven repeatedly. I can't even begin to understand how you think otherwise.
You’re off the rails. I suggest taking a deep breath and rereading. I think I’ve been pretty clear on why it’s different from living in China. The irony of calling me unhinged though.
Apparently the CIA has nothing better to do than try and make gamers gay by funding propaganda. They've run out foreign regimes to overthrow I guess.
You are overly concerned with the CCP arresting people and not the actual actions the CCP takes to control narratives domestically and abroad. You are unhinged and not tethered to reality. Go to China, people openly discuss and even the news they have commentary on the decisions being made. I'm not saying they have absolute free speech, but we don't have that here either. We're better off in my opinion, but China isn't some fucked up dystopia where everyone is hiding in fear. Quite the opposite.
