CIA allegedly made fake social media accounts to troll the Chinese government
They are calling this "trolling" if you were wondering about the state of western journalism
The thing that most saddens me about this, is how effective they are.
Showyeah this gallup graph shows it even more starkly
The effort, which began in 2019, has not previously been reported.
ShowEDIT: I guess this article is about propaganda aimed at Chinese nationals, but you know they're doing it to Americans too so [shrugs]
It's my understanding that this operation targets Chinese users, not AUKUS users. However there are probably other undisclosed operations.
Also let's not forget that something else happened at the end of 2019.
Every time someone calls me a Chinese bot account i'll just link this story and call them a CIA troll lol.
Well that was on reddit anyway, not using that right now haha
Yall CIAs know that you're on the wrong side of history, right?
Then Americans proceed to lose their shit at the thought of Russian troll farms being responsible for all right-wing thought
That explains a lot. I was wondering why I started seeing a bunch of western media reporting on Xi Jinping's secret stockpiles of cash in another dimension.
