The CIA doesn't have to control everything. They can do little things like boost a divisive or disarming figure on the left, or fund a divisive group (Black Hammer). Also online manipulation doesn't have to be State actors. Basically everything is privatized anyway but I guarantee neoliberal think tanks and nonprofits that receive funding from military and intelligence probably do have sock puppet accounts.
I mean I have no idea but they act like cops and are shady as fuck. They raised $21,000 from 28 online donations for some dumbass publicity stunt about building a city. What Communist group is getting dozens of $800 donations for something that dumb?
who the fuck is scraeming "it's a CIA op" at my house. show yourself, coward. i will never do praxis
this post mostly shows that you aren't familiar with all the shit the CIA has done
We've got a lot of reading averse anarchists on this site for some reason lol.
this is just the stuff we have sources for..., in addition to this verified list of human rights violations..
in addition to the rest of the alphabet organizations heinous unethical human experimentation....
and that's all just wikipedia.
The CIA aren't literally under everyone's bed. Beyond a certain point constant CIA fear is basically Russiagate for leftists.
Like, don't get me wrong, the CIA do horrendous stuff. But they're too busy funding murder & torture squads in the Global South to have thirty agents astroturfing this site. Most of the shitty takes on here are just other leftists. If you accuse everyone you disagree with of being CIA, they've already won cause you can't organise shit.
Yeah, everyone seems to forget that the NSA has pretty much taken over the domestic surveillance front. You can smell the CIA from a mile away because they're morons, but the NSA is actually good at what they do.
Nova I knew you were a lib, but i would never guess you were a CIA agent!
Saying scoobity doobity doo wop be pop pow gets nothing done
I sure hope this post isn't in reference to the HK protests or anything like it.
Constantly labeling everything as a CIA op is a CIA op. It's away to establish more CIA power in people's heads, as well as give a lot of people a sense that at least someone is in charge. Because reality is even scarier. The entire thing is off the rails and these are just a bunch of self-reinforcing systems.
labeling attempts to labels things as CIA ops as CIA ops is also a CIA op, imo. We need to go at least two levels deeper before we're anywhere near the truth
