So, what does this all mean? There is an unfortunate tendency for these sorts of essays to be framed as REVEALING THE SURPRISINGLY DARK HIDDEN REALITY OF THE SHIRE or whatever, which is not the point I’m trying to make.
Haha

The supporting evidence is a cable from a British guy who heard all these terrible things from a random source. I wonder why that source's account differs from all the other contemporary reports of that day
A lot of the dead bodies in those pictures are specifically labeled PLA soldiers too
Idiots
I'm not comparing the US school system to anything, just saying that the vast majority of people do not have the level of literacy skills necessary to recognize propaganda and deprogram themselves. Literacy isn't the only method of recognizing propaganda and deprogramming oneself, but it is a pretty darned important one in an atomized society where there all institutional pressure is working in favour of propaganda. My point is that the 30-40% estimate earlier in the thread is uncharitable to people.
After reading the Biden time magazine interview transcript I was looking at trump rally transcripts to compare and contrast and I found this excellent passage
In fact, I shook so many hands of policemen and law enforcement. This hand. They tend to have very strong hands and when you shake hundreds of them, they have very, very powerful hands. “Sir, thank you very much.” “Thank you, sir.” One guy’s fingers, like sausages. “Sir, do you mind if I shake your hand?” “Absolutely.” And he’s crying a little bit because he’s happy. He hasn’t cried since he was about one month old. ” Sir, do you mind if I shake? We have to save our country. May I shake your hand, sir?” “Yes.” You go, “Aww.” But that’s okay. We do it.

Look up stats on levels of adult literacy in the US or in the west more broadly. Critical reading of material, the kind of thing necessary to recognize and internally refute propaganda, is a skill that well under 10% of people have.
Another piece of the party line about ceasefires etc. Biden apparently believes that Hamas has been degraded enough while netanyahu doesn't, with the far right of Israeli fascism actively advocating for ethnic cleansing and genocide.
I don't know how pitching this kind of story doesn't just make Biden look feckless and weak, but I suppose they're triangulation from his real position of being an enthusiastic cheerleader for genocide
Does it count as foreign election interference when ?
The Israeli government is behind a large-scale influence campaign primarily aimed at Black lawmakers and young progressives in the United States and Canada.
A network analysis found four other websites that used the same IP and promoted content designed for certain audiences.
One was the United Citizens for Canada site, which had multiple social media accounts and disseminated heavily Islamophobic material, including claims that Muslim immigrants were a threat to Canada and demanding a sharia state.
Another was the Arab Slave Trade site, which was copied almost entirely from Wikipedia and was aimed at Black Americans, trying to repeat the message that the Arabs had been slave traders in Africa.
Yet another site was called Serenity Now, which branded itself as anarchist and anti-establishment, sought to convince young Americans to oppose the creation of a Palestinian state because "states are manmade structures" and a Palestinian state "would hurt the goals of the progressive movement."
Biden has assimilated trump's incoherent rambling prose. He will win.
Groundwater is a terrible thing to deal with for underground dwellings. It's a hard problem to solve. Possible, but hard.
What if we decentralized a sense of belonging and purpose by putting it on the block chain
I can't believe America would stab their proxy in the back like that. I thought they were Honorary Whites!
