Every single cop show is like oh look how these cool badass protags just wanna do their job but the obnoxious pencil-pushers back at the office keep getting in the way by trying to make them follow due conduct and the very obvious criminal keeps maliciously obstructing them by invoking their legal rights and wouldn’t they be able to do their job so much better and faster if they were allowed to just follow their gut and do whatever it takes to arrest the person they already pinned down as the dangerous criminal? And then people eat it up and go on the internet to make youtube comments about how refusing to speak with the cops without a lawyer is extremely suspicious behavior.
bruh this is so fucken funny, western pomo socialists get no work done because they’re living in the realm of ideas & language.
CIA’s gave this guide to its agents on how to sabotage leftist orgs. [x]
Not the FBI deciding DSA was not worth infiltrating because it was just liberals [x]
(also want to mention the above link is indeed to an OSS manual on how to infiltrate nazis and soviets, but OSS retained its branches, functions and employees and became the CIA. And used the same tactics outlined in WW2 to infiltrate socialist/communist & labor movements in USA. I wanted to keep it simple stupid but ppl kept pointing it out in the comments lol)
it’s funny when I see westerners talk about China BRI being imperialist and they accidentally say “CCP debt trap”. Like now that I look out for it, I know exactly which NYT, FP and NPR episode that exact combo of words was mentioned. I know what exactly where that person got it from. It’s the WMD vibe except that they think this time it’s actually true.
Ofcourse you never hear IMF loans referred to this way when they’re the ones that are an actual debt trap. No, those are referred to as development loans
“What is Past is Prologue.”** This is notthe first time Americans have been instructed to wear masks to stay safe. Check out these WW2 posters and see how gov’t communicators tried to interest/educate/inform (and sometimes scare) the American public!
First World War postcard art by Douglas Tempest, who added a little bit of sexiness to the sexist worry that women would not return to their homes after filling jobs left by men serving in the trenches. The homophobic theme also recalls conservative anxieties about the suffragette movement.
A century later, Tempest’s work has been appropriated by feminist and queer activists to celebrate the changes feared by the artist: women pursuing careers and becoming more bold in expressing their romantic and sexual orientations.
War often brings a relaxation of moral standards, something Tempest took advantage of in this play on the meaning of censorship. The implied nudity would have been shocking in mainstream popular art prior to the weakening of Victorian prudishness.
The “surprise” of not being censored may not refer as much to the content of the post card as the freedom illustrators such as Tempest were gaining to tiptoe toward slightly salacious imagery.
Nazi propaganda leaflets attempted to revive fears about infidelity during the next war, but the new threat was American soldiers, not lonely lesbians.
