Bro I know I know it’s the Wall Street Journal. But trust me fam. This time it’s different. Trust me. I pay money to read it, you know it’s good.
But what if the person, whos always been wrong without fail and always lies about everything, is actually right this time?
god I want to shove liberals in a gulag
But if you put them in a gulag they wouldnt be smart enough to get any good work done anyway
Don’t worry: From each according to his ability
We will invent some mechanism that produces energy from pure cringe, and then will give the liberals phones so they can tweet all day.
If I ever write a fantasy book (no thanks) this is how magic is going to work.
What if my wishful thinking is true
It’s generally a good thing that libs think China is collapsing since that means US will continue to underestimate China and make strategic mistakes.
Yea maybe we’ll have another round of everybody agreeing China is lying about their military capabilities again.
Unrelated, anybody seen my F-35 there’s a light sprinkle in the forecast so I gotta get it covered up.
😂
Sorry, we had to take it before the US military found it, and put some fake alien crap there to fool them
I’m not sure these people who believe this stuff are in positions of power though. I would imagine the US ruling class are more acutely aware of what is really going on.
On the other hand, some of their actions only make sense if they believe their own bullshit, so I really have no idea.
I think it’s a spectrum between stupidity and propaganda. The CIA claimed that China was building military bases in Cuba, but then the US military brass immediately came out and said they had no idea where these assertions came from and none of their intelligence indicated such activities
Or look the current issue of Prigozhin death. Even many people here and on Hexbear have no doubts FSB offed him, but writing this on some obscure messageboard is one thing and state officials saying it ex officio is another so Pentagon had to come in and remind Usians, inluding their officials, it’s nothing confirmed yet. Btw i got no answer but downvotes on lemmy when i asked is Pentagon putlerbot rooskie propaganda now lmao.
Being given access to accurate intel is no guarantee that they actually leverage it to form their own views.
There are anecdotes of US officials using mainstream media to spoonfeed them their positions on issues as they can’t be assed to do anything resembling actual work.
Pretty funny that all the self-hating liberals they funded ended up tricking their handlers themselves lol.
In their fanatic bid to become honorary aryans they instead became the strategic fool you agency. 🐶
There are liberals who vote and then there are liberals who are elected or own significant capital and actually make decisions. Some of them even have assets that are very dependent on the Chinese economy, company stocks in various exported consumer goods and technology. I doubt they are consuming their own propaganda with respect to China.
I actually think they are given the incoherent policy US has towards China.
At least this person seems a little sensible. I feel they believe it because a “reputable” outlet like WSJ is the publisher.
do people not know WSJ is owned by Murdoch? lol
Most people don’t know who Rupert Murdoch is
honestly my secret pick for “worst (non-military, non-politician) human alive”
I didn’t know that lol. It did seem mildly fishy.
The self awareness into faceplanting into the propaganda lmfao
Most important election of our lives!!
the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
Best pasta
Oh well if the Wall Street Journal said it
US mainstream media isn’t even trustworthy for predicting the US economy.
They downplayed if not outright denied the potential causes of the Great Recession until well after it had already occurred. They then portrayed the Great Recession “from the perspective of the Obama Administration and big business” manipulating the empathy of their audience in order to serve the interests of their true masters.
Conditions in America are currently worse than the Great Depression by pretty much every metric related to working people. And the media is blatantly pretending it’s not happening.
Ignoring what’s actually happening and clinking wine glasses together to celebrate yet another “China about to collapse” article paired with one of their brunchmates’ “sorry, hate to break it to you poors, but bad thing is good actually” editorials making it to publication.

the food prices went up again, do not worry, enjoy the opportunity to lose some weight and learn to cook a delicious full meal with only starch and javascript
“The US doesn’t do propaganda.”
yeah, being homeless and starve is nice because imaginary line go brrrrr
lol saw an Australian news video which was like
“unemployment went up, but that’s actually a good thing and a sign of a healthy economy. Now onto news of China’s economic meltdown”
Least gullible liberal
This is actually just enrichment for them. Kind of like a cat knows that they won’t catch a laser pointer if they chase it, they just want to exercise their natural hunting instinct.
The cat actually doesn’t know and if that’s the only form of enrichment they can get incredibly stressed out because they are never able to catch anything, so people should give their cats something real to chase after using a laser pointer.
Really? That’s sad, my kitty loves the laser pointer. I need to get her one of those string toys to play with after now.
I’m not sure how true that is.
Cats don’t literally think they’re hunting when you play with them, since cats don’t pur when they’re hunting.
I’ve two cats, the more sociable cat that can play with people/animals without hurting them shows excitement as soon as I pick up the laser pen.
The one that can only play with toys ignores the laser pen.
They both understand they’re not going to catch anything, and the one that only enjoys catching things doesn’t engage.
americans are the most propagandized people on earth
It’s easier to believe in something you want to happen. The “hope people will be ok” part is just so no one realizes they are a piece of shit.
chinas economy is tankieing.
The state sector advances, the private sector retreats!
poking with a stick meme come on collapse already
