    @anolandria@mastodon.social

    Soviet spy and his American guard share a cigarette in Berlin, the American finishes a drag and passes the cig, "You know, I'll give you Russians one thing, your regime really excels at is propaganda. The posters, the slogans, they're quite something and they're everywhere." the Soviet exhales smoke and replies, "You're too kind, but our propaganda doesn't hold a candle to yours." The American pauses before taking his turn at the dwindling cigarette, frowns slightly and says "What do you mean? We don't have a propaganda program." The Soviet chuckles.

      "Americans are baffled"? πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

      Really?

      Not any of my comrades. We saw that coming from miles away. πŸ™„

      Americans are so thoroughly brainwashed. I am happy to see it breaking more lately, but there are still far too many drinking the red white and blue cool aid.

      @anolandria Anything less than a flashbang through their car window will not overcome the cognitive dissonance.

                                  @anolandria hey now, don't distract the Westerners from their daily China/Russia hate fest. Courtesy their ruling Epstein class.

                                  You get to see a daily dose of it here on Mastodon as well.

                                    A: I agree USA media is censored & heavily manipulated.

                                    B (my point): the OG TikTok fuss was the surveillance baked into it. Spying, not censoring, was when banning and a forced sale began being called for.

                                        @anolandria TikTok uninstalls jumped 150% when the ownership change was announced, so I think many Americans knew what was coming.

                                          "Americans are baffled"? πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

                                          Really?

                                          Not any of my comrades. We saw that coming from miles away. πŸ™„

                                          Americans are so thoroughly brainwashed. I am happy to see it breaking more lately, but there are still far too many drinking the red white and blue cool aid.

                                          @anolandria Bear in mind that, when the media says things like "Americans are baffled," they mean that they asked around the office that has spent the last year kissing up to the administration and a few people wearing red trucker hats in a Midwestern diner...
