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)
Why would the highly educated, high earners want USA to do imperialism more than the uneducated?
This is so interesting because it’s showing a shift. Right-wingers & conservatives are more “anti-imperialist” than your liberal. This makes sense when we consider the neoliberal reforms of the 70s. Neoliberals are war mongers now.
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
Unfortunately due to TV shows that stress forensic investigation, juries are demanding this kind of evidence at trial, and have little idea of how untested and unreliable it really is.
Hair analysis alone has been used in thousands of trials. The FBI is reviewing 2500 cases out of “21000 federal and state requests to the FBI’s hair-comparison unit between 1972 and 1999″. Even if this review exonerates some of those convictions, that doesn’t even begin to cover the hundreds of state and local “experts” trained by the FBI in this bogus “hair analysis” technique to do things like this:
Santae Tribble served 28 years for a murder based on FBI testimony about a single strand of hair. He was exonerated in 2012. It was later revealed that one of the hairs presented at trial came from a dog.
So anyway remember anytime you hear about “forensic evidence” that a lot of it is bullcrap and not scientifically validated and a lot of so-called experts are just pulling conclusions out of their ass.
the forensic hair analysis thing is terrible, the FBI literally invented a branch of forensic psuedoscience with no evidence behind it in order to boost conviction rates, then taught the bogus technique to thousands of forensic investigators in the us and around the world. we have no idea how many people have been wrongfully convicted, and this is just one in a very long list of forensic techniques that lack rigorous scientific evaluation
