first, i need to post the classic joke again...
> A Russian is on an airliner heading to the US, and the American in the seat next to him asks, “So what brings you to the US?” The Russian replies, “I’m studying the American approach to propaganda.” The American says, “What propaganda?” The Russian says, “That’s what I mean.”
then, based on all the defenses and copes for this contract (and USAID) that I have seen here, I take back the conclusion that I naively drew earlier:
> Americans are heavily misled by propaganda.
No, Americans are not misled by propaganda, Americans are participating in the propaganda

- suraci 2y agothat's interesting since i said that with my grammatical habits of chinese, or, Chinglish but I didn't know why it looks like Russify English, can you explain more?
- rtkwe 2y agoIt might just be priming. It was setup as a Russian character so I was reading it with that in mind (and a THICC accent).
