A KGB spy and a CIA agent meet up in a bar for a friendly drink.
“I have to admit, I’m always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up,” the CIA agent says.
“Thank you,” the KGB says. “We do our best but truly, it’s nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them.”
The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. “Thank you friend, but you must be confused… There’s no propaganda in America.”
How do you not understand that most of us were raised under the same indoctrination and have experienced the same propaganda as everyone else here? We’re not the ones still propagandized by that upbringing, education, and media exposure. I suggest starting here to learn how to see past it.
I would ask them why they’re happy, not us.

We cannot agree, “comrade.”
In financial terms, for most people the government doesn’t help you at all[1]. Either your private health insurance pays some of the costs, or else you pay completely out of pocket. Even if you do have health insurance, it’s still going to cost you several thousand dollars per year until it’s resolved. It’s quite common for cancer to cause people to go bankrupt even with good health insurance.
If you’re 1) old or 2) through means testing are found to be both poor and physically unable to work, then you get government-funded a health insurance plan. You still might go bankrupt though, just as with private health insurance. ↩︎
They’re not only identifying immigrants, though. And they may be using biometrics from Real ID, which everyone needs to drive or enter many government buildings or receive many government services.
Oh look what instance this was commented on.
If you really want to know, I’m sure there are medical journal articles and scientific research papers on why the “hate.”
I don’t know the state of things now, but a few days ago Iran had severed its internet due to cyberattacks related to the war.
Most people smart enough to join are smart enough not to.
It discounts my impression of them.
My visa application got rejected for posting a watermelon emoji on Myspace in nineteen dickety two.
Capitalists will incorporate & commodify any[1] trend/movement into their branding. 1971.
Except maybe for the only movement that has ever usurped them: ours. ↩︎
