Yeah man the people who opposed the Iraq/Afghan wars and Vietnam were just a bunch of fucking traitors to the great red, white and blue stars and stripes. I can't believe they would help the enemy like that.
Hey guys, I know this makes us look really stupid and silly right now, but what about the Jews, amirite? They get up to this shit all the time. Let's talk about that instead!
Well yea. They also got punished as traitors. I was there to see it myself. The constant "you are not patriotic enough" that lost them jobs, connections and other things. The Bush administration supressed anyone who was critical of the war on terror after 9/11. They even killed their own Soldiers to cover up counter narrative's.
Oh it's just funny that the biggest Russia Gator and king of the neocons warmongering bloodthirsty Max boot screaming everyone is a traitor and he put country over party is married to someone who's working for the South Korean government to push South Korean propaganda about North Korea and there's no way he didn't know by the way he still works at the Washington Post and wasn't fired from every single one of his journalist jobs.
Yeah it is a bit fucky. The indictment didn't specifically name people like Tim Pool (I don't think?), but instead quoted Tenet's site rather than keeping things vague or anything. Which makes me feel like someone with the DoJ may have been sloppy on purpose to try getting this story out.
While in principle I agree that's what people should be asking themselves, legally, that's not really relevant when it comes to a FARA violation.
Again, agreed, but the law is pretty clear here, so the government is entitled to enforce it in this case.
Right, the greatest sellout in America is your own government because they have 0 interest in actually governing and making life better for its people. Instead they fund wars to keep the liberal world order alive or protect a certain middle Eastern nation because of shared ethnic interests.
Russian info ops in the US have two primary goals, if you observe their actions.
If your countries ideals, ideology and methods can be shattered because someone uses Socratic method, guess what? It was shit to begin with.
Hey, as long as Soros and the US government keep doing the same thing, I'm fine with Russia doing it as well. It's the arguments that matter anyway, not the person who pays for them.
Russian disinfo has nothing to do with the Socratic method, they just pump out nonsense and whatever sticks and whatever gets traction they run with it.
Sounds pretty much like Socratic media to me.
Do you think any government/kings/emperors anywhere in history tolerated counter signalling to official edicts? Whining that the state calls you subversive because you have been caught shilling talking points written at the desk of Putin is such a dumb stand to take. Anti-US government posters are always fucking thinking they are the main fucking character.
