We need to stop repeating CIA propaganda on Lemmy
We need to stop repeating Chinese propaganda on Lemmy.
We need to stop repeating all propagandas including the chinese propaganda
You’re one to talk.
Yes I am . I never whitewashed china and russia
Maybe you should educate yourself on the Uyghurs
Did i deny the uyghurs being opressed?
Do you?
I don't think the CIA would waste time countering Chinese propaganda like this, stats show propaganda is most effective when targeting people who already lean your way with confirmation bias and least effective when confronting skeptics or critics.
Everything that the news tells us is at least partially propaganda.
I consider propaganda to be lies paid for by the state to further its own interests. Maybe the Chinese news is mostly propaganda by that definition, but not Europe and the west, and certainly not random internet commentators who say "Fuck China."
That's a very narrow definition of propaganda. Corporations can serve propaganda to further their own interests.
In the context of a discussion about the CIA and Chinese, I don't think corporations are really relevant. There aren't really corporations large enough to compete on a global stage, though they can operate together with an oppressive government.
I think to say that Google and Amazon don't have more geopolitical sway than some countries is naive.
"Some countries" is a low bar, we're in a discussion of the two largest and most hostile militaries on earth. Do you think Google paid trolls are in this comment section?
We are living in a world right now where Google and Amazon have paid for the campaign of and direct access to the president.
We also lived in the same world where an oil company installed their chairman as the vice president who then was able to get the entire administration to invade Iraq and used the entire media apparatus to lie about why. It feels like you're intentionally using a narrow definition of propaganda to minimize the effects of corporate propaganda.
Chinese owned TikTok and Russian troll farms also bought access. Elon Musk got fired from his advisor position. There is no friendship or loyalty from people like Trump, purely transactional, and right now Amazon and Google dont have enough to offer in order to tell him what to do. They support him because he lowers their taxes and weakens regulatory bodies.
Everything bad that my government does is only alleged by america
