Honestly, this looks like you don't have any evidence to show that USAID is a front for the CIA, so you are resorting to ad hominum as a way to save face.

Hey, buddy, listen. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that. Sorry if I hurt your feelings. I love the CIA. And USAID. Really, I do. Please don't accuse me of ad hominum [sic], that would break my heart. And evidence? Of course, there's no evidence. The US is a perfect little angel; everything it does is moral and good. It's just that big old meanie trump making a mess of things, that's all. Does that make it better?

Does that make it better?

To be honest, not really. Usually when there is a claim it goes, I believe that X is true because of Y reasons. Not what ever this is that you are attempting.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

nah what’s happening here is I am making claim X. Then you go: are you claiming Y? Prove it! And then I go: no. Then you start talking all this shit about covert CIA ops and mafia pizza joints and whatever, showing no signs of understanding that I said X. What choice do I have but to conclude that you are an idiot

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Then show supporting evidence for your X then?

USAID is that it is primarily a front for CIA operations

This was my X:

My understanding of USAID is that it is primarily a front for CIA operations.

Evidence:

??? You want brain scans?

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Exactly, you made the whole thing up.

USAID is not primarily a front for CIA operations. It is a organization responsible for foreign aid and development. Sure the CIA has used some USAID programs for their own purposes, but that doesn’t mean USAID itself is primarily a CIA operation.

It is a organization responsible for foreign aid and development

My mistake! Sorry, Captain America! I will never be cynical about US foreign policy ever again!

Not defending the US foreign policy, but this is just right-wing propaganda to cut funding to essential programs. So I'm shutting it down.
