- stego-tech 1y agoListening to my fellow Americans? Lots of them either don’t know that’s the policy, don’t know the consequences of such a policy, or want it because they believe it’ll harm their enemies.
- herval 1y agoHow can someone not know, at this point? You can literally just google “mar a lago accord”, this stuff has been widely discussed across mainstream media and social media (including the likes of r/conservative and even the whitehouse site! eg https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/2025/04/cea-chairman-steve-miran-hudson-institute-event-remarks/ https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/2025/04/cea-...)
- stego-tech 1y agoWe assume people think similarly to us, but the reality is that we're the outliers in a lot of ways. It's why I occasionally insert myself into the Lion's Den on HN when I see someone smart espousing known bullshit, lest their SME be confused as authority on whatever they're screeding about. Having watched colleagues spend every waking moment on their breaks digest literal propaganda as truth? Watching relatives so dosed up on misinformation by cable outlets that they only exist within that specific fantasy and never reality? It's depressingly, distressingly common.
