I think reddit is full of CIA , human beings cannot be that dumb or yankees are dumber than global south ? XD
There are 100% bot farms working on reddit to boost pro-american foriegn policy narratives and to downvote counter-narratives
Yeah , one guy wrote Russian cannot lose and he was downvoted and attacked. Seems to me reddit is just full of CIA bots playing themselves. Where as when I watched BBC News YT comments about Putin… It was clearly pro Russia and critical of BBC for failed journalism.
Idk if it’s even Cia bots or just your average American being a hairs breadth away from being a full blown fascist.
Any default sub comment section is looking like a fox news comment section these days.
I was in a thread earlier where they were talking about how communism is cringe and they literally, without a whiff of irony used the liberty prime quote “Democracy is non negotiable”
I can’t believe how chuddy it’s gotten over there or how fast it’s advancing.
The completely arbitrary “score hidden” thing is applied pretty unevenly and conveniently too
At this point I’m honestly starting to wonder if no education at all is actually better than the American education system.
It literally would be.
Think about how much of “American history” is “don’t believe your lying eyes”
“The Civil War wasn’t about slavery” (gee that’s weird since it was literally free states versus slave states)
“It’s ok we killed all the natives because God said all the land between the oceans was ours” (gee that sure is convenient for us)
“Government exists to amicably cooperate and figure out the way to do things that’s best for everybody” (why does literally everybody agree they’re getting fucked over then)
Don’t forget the old chestnut about how nuking Japan saved more lives than it took, and we had to do it/didn’t know better. I still remember that one. I think some teachers still teach that.
To be honest, my father taught me to never underestimate human stupidity.
As a Canadian, it’s a western thing in general (though the US is the most glaring example of it). An increasing number of people know better, and I do think reddit is full of CIA- but the honest truth also is that there’s also a sizable portion, or perhaps even a dominant majority (it becomes difficult to tell sometimes) who really believe all this shit.
Western chauvinism is a hell of a drug. Think about how white-worshipping, west-idealizing people are, then consider how bad those who are actually white and western and who buy into all of it just as badly or worse are- that’ll give you an idea. And it gets worse- a sizable amount of even the occasionally dissenting voices are still part of this mentality in varying degrees, since it crosses the partisan divide.
