Almost there....
What is the largest, best funded, and most effective propaganda system in human history?
What nation uses its global media apparatus to whitewash centuries of unending war?
China?
Russia?
Like, if you want to tee up an "America bad" answer, just fucking ask. American propaganda has excused and made apologia for a great number of awful things that we should have opposed, or should continue to oppose, especially capitalist bullshit and rampant interventionism.
Still so so close but not quite there....
Look up USAGM. Everybody has state-sponsored media, but one nation has a stable of outlets custom made for international propaganda.
How did the Spanish-American war start?
How did the Americans and the Soviets differ in their handling of Imperial Japan's horrific Unit 731?
Who was the first state-sponsor of terror? (Look up Operation Mongoose and Operation Condor)
One of the dastardly arms of this dreaded cabal, how awful it would be to let others access the internet UNCENSORED :o
A horribly timed accident, yellow journalism from private entities who would say anything to sell more papers, and Teddy Roosevelt itching for a war while President McKinley and the rest of his administration preferred not to?
The Americans offered Unit 731 immunity from prosecution in exchange for their work, while the Soviets offered a much smaller number of Unit 731 members sentencing leniency in exchange for their work?
You're fucking kidding me.
I tried homie. When you wonder why the world is so complicated and confusing and nothing makes sense remember this conversation.
Ah, of course, I should have recognized how very simple and clear the world is.
It's much clearer when you don't assume that there are any "good guys"
... okay? I don't? But you keep tilting at windmills. You'll kill a giant one day.
Inshallah
🥱 get better material or touch grass
Is this the best the great champions of liberalism have to offer?
As a general rule, I try to expend less energy mocking you turbovirgins than you expend coming up with goofy comments. It’s real hard in times like these.
Lots of personal attacks coming from the libs ITT. Wonder why?
