    What they seem to have in common is:

    Way more posts than comments.

    Almost exclusively posting news articles.

    The vast majority of the articles are critical of Russia or China.

    Virtually always posting to the same few communities. Often there’s overlap in the communities the accounts target.

    Consistent weekly output.

    exactly like the ghislaine maxwell account on reddit and the 4chan qanon from the epstein files.


  • I’m not too familiar with the politics behind all of this, especially around that time.

    since president nixon, there’s been a well documented trend of gov’t programs intentionally starved of federal resources, with the goal of justifying private industry taking over services those programs once provided themselves. spacex is probably the most modern manifestation of this trend.

    those “pros and cons” are a false framing intended to steer your opinion away from the question of why nasa can’t do this themselves anymore.

    the last time nasa did this themselves, humanity got smartphones and modern medicine but when spacex does this, the only thing that happens is an epstein oligarch gets A LOT richer.

    i suspect that this narrative has morphed from cointelpro-conspiracy-theory into cointelpro-brainwormed-people; but cointelpro was so successful that it’s turned into a global maga-like cult that refuses to accept evidence that’s available to them – evidence that’s literally created by the cointelpro people themselves btw – simply because it’s not spoonfed to them via their tv’s or phones or wikpedia.

    I’m honestly too busy not dying of poverty and American healthcare to decipher a poorly made meme.

    i’m convinced that this is the reason why westerners – americans in particular – support ukraine in this conflict. (or atleast i want to believe this)

    it’s clear you’re missing 2 key pieces of information that you can’t be blamed for not knowing because our media won’t talk about it.

    1. the nazi thing was so pervasive in ukraine that congress decided to ban weapons sales to ukraine because of it and then it was later lifted it when russia became involved.

    2. russia became involved because A) nato expansion has always threatened russian existence and B) said nazis took over the ukrainain gov’t with the american gov’ts help and started shelling the people in eastern ukraine (just like isreal is doing to gaza rght now) when they voted to join russia because of said nazisim

    here’s a whole bunch of sources if you want to know more details: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12Hi1pOYSjJ1umb72CTNzvJ7e4wfhEfk1Hn3AxjGE4go/edit?tab=t.0

    My honest stance is that Russia and the US are just as bad as one another. Anyone who defends either of these two countries is suspect to me. I do think the fact that other Eastern European countries flinch at Russia is highly indicative that something clearly went wrong in the Soviet Union. However, I dislike that the CIA got involved in the dissolution of the USSR.

    this “both sides” argument is indicative of the extent to which western propaganda has impacted your thought process.

    the FOIA litmus test will easily tell you whether or not your source is biased. since the late 1970’s the FOIA has effectively been forcing the us gov’t to publicly admit that it manufactured propaganda about many things including north korea as an “authoritarian” state.

    if your source still characterizes north korea as an authoritarian state; then know that they’re giving you propaganda that the us gov’t has already effectively said is fake – in writing – since 1979.



  • the easiest first step in ensuring that the usa and it’s ilk change their tune is to stop repeating the propaganda the usa already admitted to manufacturing thanks to the freedom of information act.

    i’m referring to stuff like this:

    I do think China has done some good, but it also doesn’t cancel out the sketchiness. I do agree that we could learn from China, but there’s also a damn good reason why their phones are banned in multiple countries.

    Not to mention, at least 250 people died during the Tianamen square incident. Some even estimate that thousands died, but it was at least 250 people.

    Plus, China has billionaires. Any truly non-capitalistic country wouldn’t have billionaires. Nor would they have factory workers working for 75 hours per week.

    if you’re to repeat their propaganda, you should atleast be getting paid for it.

    im presuming that you’re presenting yourself i good faith and you sound like me not long ago; i want to share something that’s been helpful in dispelling the inception like nature of sources from the western that likely gave you this conclusion:

    For heaven’s sake, his own guards were scared of him. In fact, he died because he instilled so much fear into them. Personally, I’m more of a collectivist who doesn’t believe in authoritarianism.

    (i know that you’re getting this from a western source because you used the word authoritarian).

    the freedom of information act, passed in the 1960s, forces the us government to release files – like they released the epstein files – where the cia, fbi, state dept, etc. admit in writing that they make shit up.

    you have to wait at least 25 years after the event, but you can already read some files – just like people are reading the epstein files rn – of shit they made up about north korea being “authoritarian.” (you can even see how they chose that word). but the key part is that they admit to lying to us about north korea’s authoritarianism.

    so if your source calls north korea authoritarian, know the us government invented that in the 1950s, was forced by law to admit the lie to the public in the 1970s and that any source still pushing this narrative can’t be trusted.

    you’re never going to be a leftist if you don’t question your own sources.
