He was very adamant that this is the case, but he's not some dipshit who gets all his info from reactionary sources, so I'm wondering where he got that specific number from. Anyone heard of it? The "60 years behind" thing I mean?

      Last year he told me he always carries a gun when walking his dog because he heard that dogs started disappearing after a Chinese family moved into his building. Implying that the Chinese family was taking people’s dogs to eat.

      Sure makes one feel safe to just be existing Chinese-Americanly in the USA with all these stable geniuses running around.

      What did they even need MK Ultra for when the US propaganda machine is already capable of this level of :brainworms: on a regular basis?

        I think MK Ultra is the reason the propaganda machine is this good.

          From what I've read about it it sounded like a bit of a disaster, but I'm sure they wouldn't tell us the good shit.

            I doubt they had good enough experimental controls to get useful data and were basically just torturing random people, but even a result of negative provides useful information. People are often incredulous that so much research was done on ESP and psychic powers, but up until that point no one had actually done the research, so it wasn't actually known if there was anything to it or not.

          From what I understand WWII was the real impetus for modern advertising and propaganda. A lot of money and resources were put in to researching the psychology of propaganda, and then after the war all the people in the propaganda departments went to work in marketing (or the CIA) and now we have pop up ads.

            yeah, it's crazy how much we're just living in the aftermath of WW2 after 80 years
