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.

Don’t be fooled by their seeming friendliness: they’re just trying to fatten us up.

I would ask them why they’re happy, not us.

The same Germany that is denying the genocide it is currently supporting and is suppressing anti-Zionist voices?

Some people seem to think LLMs are oracles of truth, so if you wanted to rewrite history, this is how you might try to go about it.

I can strongly say that, too, because BRICS is explicitly not trying to create a global reserve currency to replace the USD.

If you don’t understand what BRICS is, then maybe don’t make predictions about it.

“That thing that’s already over a decade old and already much larger than the G7 in terms of population, landmass, natural resources, and industrial production… Never going to happen.”

Your impression of India’s, China’s, and Russia’s relationships with each other is years behind.

I don’t know, but this Wikipedia table has population and GDP-PPP columns, so it’s easy to do the math. Note though, that Vietnam is in the subsequent table, because the page hasn’t been updated it yet.

You do know what average means in this context, right? You divide the sum of the empires’ years by the number of empires.

FYI, this was considered fairly recently, and the end-result was:

Will re-open if anyone wants to work on this, but its way out of scope for us.

I know it was just an example to make a point, but my first assumption was that there would be a web server or something in front of the application, and so I’d rate limit the API path at that level, before the calls even reached the application.

They speak another language, have their own cultural heritage.

The Wikipedia page for Taiwan alone would prove this to be utterly false[^1]. How can you speak with such authority when you know you’re talking out your ass?

The rest of you what you wrote isn’t much better. It’s just the standard anti-China & anti-communist Western propaganda talking points.

What do you think this is, Reddit?

Not really: The poorer you are, the less a person you are, which is why Enron Muck is the greatest person in the world.

You made a miner error.

🤷 I have absolutely no doubt that Iran has had mines prepared for blockading the strait for decades, and I don’t think bluffing is Iran’s usual M.O., so I think this is likely regardless of what anonymous US sources say.

The thing is, it’s been known for at least 1½ years that the CIA "Cooked The Intelligence" To Hide That Russia Favored Clinton, Not Trump In 2016.
