It’s always projection.They’re doing it to us as well, just as they did in the previous cold war.
A Reddit AMA Claiming To Be A Uyghur Quickly Exposes A CIA Asset Slandering China
US-Funded Uyghur Activists Train as Soldiers of Empire:
The [Uyghur American Association]’s leadership consists of U.S. national security state operators including employees of the U.S. government, U.S. propaganda network Radio Free Asia, and the military-industrial complex. Past leaders of the organization include:
[…]
Rushan Abbas, former vice president — Previously boasted in her bio of her “extensive experience working with U.S. government agencies, including Homeland Security, Department of Defense, Department of State, and various U.S. intelligence agencies.” Served the U.S. government and Bush administration’s so-called war on terror as a “consultant at Guantanamo Bay supporting Operation Enduring Freedom.” Following a disastrous publicity appearance on Reddit’s “Ask Me Anything” question and answer forum, during which participants blasted Abbas as a “CIA Asset” and U.S. government collaborator, she has attempted to scrub her biographic information from the internet. Abbas currently heads the WUC affiliate organization, Campaign for Uyghurs.
I’m assuming every large country does this and has done this to every other country for the past like 200 years of not way longer. This is like saying the sky is blue.
US is the one country that dominates global media though.
If you mean movies and such then yea, obviously, but I’m not sure how that connected. I don’t think Hollywood is the puppet of spy agencies to spread disinformation, they are more interested in making money with the least amount of investment.
meanwhile in the real world https://www.cbc.ca/radio/ideas/how-hollywood-became-the-unofficial-propaganda-arm-of-the-u-s-military-1.5560575
Like even if Hollywood only made pure propaganda on behest of the CIA and nothing else how is it related to every major country doing disinformation campaigns as long as spy shit has been the norm? Are you saying the US is the most successful at it?
I’m saying that US enjoys disproportionate advantage in the propaganda space because US media dominates in most of the world. This is a well documented fact, and there are entire books written on this subject.
Yea, I don’t disagree. I’m sure any country would take advantage of that. I’m just trying to figure out if you were disagreeing with me or were you just adding a random fun fact about the US?
I’m simply pointing out that while all countries obviously try to spread their influence, US enjoys a massive advantage in that regard. Saying yeah everybody does this creates a false equivalence between the sheer scale of US propaganda compared to other countries.
Precisely how I feel when Americans bleat about Russiagate incidentally.
