Remember when Lee Harvey Oswald defected to russia? And then changed his mind? I forget what happened after that.

Yep. Mmm hmmm.

Outright fascist.

Propaganda works. Period.

Article: The changes come as Republican lawmakers step up efforts to punish businesses that consider climate change and the environment in their operations.

TL;DR: RepubliQans fucking everything up to destroy the planet, yet again

Comments: Dang Bank of America! oooo that bank! banks, right?! Let’s all make sure not to vote for the current Democrat

Member that time when Microsoft got dragged in federal court for ten years before they eventually decided Microsoft was a monopoly for forcing their browser on everyone and then sweet fuck all happened to them for it?

Well the judiciary sure has changed - now they’re way more computer savvy and they . . . checks earpice . . . I’m sorry, that should be: they’re just as fucking clueless as they were thirty years ago if not even more so. We’re screwed, goodnight.

vile! AAAAHHHHHHh dead

Cardinal Scum: Lord Google! Our Premium service is only making 8.5 Billion net profit per year, a miserable increase of 25% from last year!

Lord Google: These peasant eyeballs have disappointed me. Force the plebians to ingest propaganda as in the olden times! And as for the so-called-Premium subs . . . we will crush their purchasing power!

Cardinal Scum: Yes Lord Google! Brilliant!

Lord Google: Muwahhahahahahah!!!

Cardinal Scum: (hesitantly) Heh heh . . hee heee heeh hehehehh yesssss . . yes

Absolutely the most hated. The marketing chuds are gaslighting by claiming to be less hated. Nah, nah brah. Seriously the most hated. By FAR.

no-paywall link to the WP piece?

Wait, you mean russia would use social media and the batshit morons who follow them to disrupt a country’s political landscape???

A rod or branch serving as a roost for a bird.

It’s perfectly cromulent.

“Totalled” doesn’t have the same joi de vivre

I suspect the answer lies in the method by which people saw the question. Like, if you went up to people standing in line at a bank, or outside a concert or soemthing and pulled out a paper-based photograph and said “I saw this yesterday, what could it be?” you’d get the answers you were probably expecting. (As to the actual quesiton, yeah I dunno)

But if you post contrails on a website and say something to the effect of look at these contrails, then all the contextual clues you’ve given so far are the same that have been used by a lot of Qanon and other batshit crazy people who recently decided a demented orange rapist was equivalent to Jesus for them. I’m just saying it’s a totally different context from what you were probably intending.

That’s my guess as to “why” people saw it through a lens of “politics”. Less about actual scientific content, more about media theory.

Yep. GRU / FSB propaganda scored a huge run of hits. Still very popular even.

Agreed. Most American polls are still done by phone, so it only counts people who answer unknown calls, and then answer a series of questions about their beliefs. Which just gets more unbelievable every day.

“He calculated that a closer relationship was necessary for economic reasons”

Bwahahaha! Did he! Did he calculate that?! Ahhhhh fucking hell.

He calculated that it would be better not to be up shit creek without a goddamned paddle.

Babe, wake up. New propganda just dropped.

Right? I mean, i’ll take the win, absolutely, but c’mon. Anybody still on Xitter - stop. Just stop.
