But which governments, though? Which one, there are so many... I can't think of a single one that would be motivated to influence US politics and do something so blatantly anti-democratic.
You know... In my life I've had to talk a few people out of scams.
I know they were scammed, it's blatantly a scam, the evidence is overwhelming, my experience is solid, everyone I know of's experience says the same.
Yet they will argue with you back and forth and never really be satisfied because they want to believe it so much, and I imagine it stings a good bit being told you're being ripped the fuck off and you're too stupid or inexperienced to understand that.
I'm never confrontational about it, I just make it very perfectly clear that proceeding would be extremely ill advised, and that even their own worries brought them to me asking for my opinion because they trust my judgment.
It scares me how long it takes to convince them, and how often in the end they come to me a month later and I ask them how it went, and they went and bought it anyway, for whatever far fetched rationalization they managed to construct for themselves.
Psychology is real, psychology is simple, all it takes to control humans is to have no care for anything but yourself.
And suddenly here you are standing together in sympathetic unity with The Kremlins. It's hard making people see propaganda when they have become so desensitized to it
Let's hope Putin will find some way to finally stop the forces of evil defiling his land after this.
Yeah not an extemely useful propaganda plot device at all then. You're not with the terrorists, are you? You better stand up and clap your hands and stomp your feet in sympathy.
I thought Internet was already under control of Moscow, but it'd be wild if it turned out it wasn't all this time and Putin would never do something like this again, like those other times he did
