Bro I know I know it’s the Wall Street Journal. But trust me fam. This time it’s different. Trust me. I pay money to read it, you know it’s good.
But what if the person, whos always been wrong without fail and always lies about everything, is actually right this time?
god I want to shove liberals in a gulag
But if you put them in a gulag they wouldnt be smart enough to get any good work done anyway
We will invent some mechanism that produces energy from pure cringe, and then will give the liberals phones so they can tweet all day.
It’s generally a good thing that libs think China is collapsing since that means US will continue to underestimate China and make strategic mistakes.
Yea maybe we’ll have another round of everybody agreeing China is lying about their military capabilities again.
Unrelated, anybody seen my F-35 there’s a light sprinkle in the forecast so I gotta get it covered up.
I’m not sure these people who believe this stuff are in positions of power though. I would imagine the US ruling class are more acutely aware of what is really going on.
On the other hand, some of their actions only make sense if they believe their own bullshit, so I really have no idea.
Or look the current issue of Prigozhin death. Even many people here and on Hexbear have no doubts FSB offed him, but writing this on some obscure messageboard is one thing and state officials saying it ex officio is another so Pentagon had to come in and remind Usians, inluding their officials, it’s nothing confirmed yet. Btw i got no answer but downvotes on lemmy when i asked is Pentagon putlerbot rooskie propaganda now lmao.
Being given access to accurate intel is no guarantee that they actually leverage it to form their own views.
There are anecdotes of US officials using mainstream media to spoonfeed them their positions on issues as they can’t be assed to do anything resembling actual work.
At least this person seems a little sensible. I feel they believe it because a “reputable” outlet like WSJ is the publisher.
The self awareness into faceplanting into the propaganda lmfao
