Much of this reads like the forgeries and propaganda that we're fed today.

    We all knew they were doing it, but it's nice to see them admitting it

    is it nice though? the freedom of information act has effectively forced the american gov't admit to manufacturing propaganda and that fact has been in the public domain since the 1970's; yet americans still believe in the propaganda nonetheless.

    Having an official government source to point to is always helpful with our dear Libs, but other than that I agree with you

    it hasn't yet helped on lemmy nor rednote; the libs just stop responding every time i share it with them and i know that they didn't believe it because i can see that they still regurgitate the same propaganda if it look at their comments that they write after our interaction.

    I doubt persuasion is possible.

    People have to convince themselves through their own self study and w intention instead of passively receiving it from the news or people they trust.

    If they weren't so afraid of themselves or their compatriots being persuaded then they wouldn't be doing all this defederation and pifedization

    they're just letting themselves get sheep herded by their epstein shepherds -- who said as such in writing in the epstein files and the ghislaine maxwell case.

    pifedization
