I’m sorry. I failed to understand how deeply the Western propaganda machine is embedded within all that we consider “news” and uncritically believed the AP article because it “seemed true” i.e. confirmed my biases.

Then I got pressed and malded in the comments, when called out.

Thank you for education me. I have some serious learning to do.

Special thanks (and apology) to @Awoo @kristina @American_Communist22 and everyone else who engaged with me over multiple comments. Sorry for being so thick-headed. I’ll do better in the future.

    You're welcome, it's really a great read overall. And really it just scratches the surface of what we have to watch out for nowadays. Pretty much all US news media regarding foreign conflicts is just copy pasted from State Department memos and most non-US western news media source a ton of CIA funded organizations. And then if we're not being gaslit by the CIA, it's the fucking billionaires. Fucking madness. :this-is-fine:
