I don't think they've really changed, they still get their hands dirty and work to overthrow any leaders that might not be super open to US exploitation.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 days ago

They seem to be go-fund-me'ing their coup attempts nowadays.

The only places the US is still having success is in the ME. They even lost their own hemisphere, they can't even prevent leftists from getting elected in Mexico anymore.

Facts, this is really just an addition I guess

Nooo, dont fight the class war. Dont you know that the culture war is far more important. You need to spend all your time and energy fighting over the green M&M.

Did they think Fidel drank pen ink

[–] [email protected] 24 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Their internal polling indicated 100% of people drink pen ink ¯\(ツ)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The poll was conducted among the finest US Marine Corps soldiers

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Don't be daft, everyone knows marines eat crayons because nobody gives them pointy pens.

I'd kill to see that data, I bet they know which colour ink tastes best

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's blue, red is also good. Don't ask how I know.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

I would guess that you were a Marine, but everyone knows they don't give pens to Marines, too pointy

There are poisons that can be absorbed through skin by contact.

I feel like I'm missing context

Assuming there's not some new thing:

The recent US general election was, as usual, a face-off between the two predominant parties. The incumbent party, while nominally being the relative "left" party, continued the unbroken support the US has provided to Israel since its conception, despite recent genocidal activity. There are some who insisted that, while that support is reprehensible and isn't representative of the will of the left, the alternative party would be just as bad for Palestine while also being worse by most other metrics (including LGBTQ+ rights).

There are some who suggest that those insisting such a thing are shills or intelligence agents, logging into niche leftist spaces to manufacture tepid consent, rather than individuals expressing genuine concerns.

Some people on the internet are saying it's okay to not support Palestine because they're not pro LGBTQ enough.

It's an insane argument to make so I guess that's why OP feels like it's CIA.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

Those are some wild lines of reasoning, on both sides.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Yeah, that was the "cia."
