    What a shitty government you have if the truth puts it on danger. I see why Russia and China appeal to this information (and misinformation) war, seems like the US people has grown to be very gullible, so whoever controls the narrative, controls them. And totally self inflicted, your own government did this to you so they could control you better.

      And Amerikkka plays the information war too. I’m remembering a CIA operation to spread vaccine misinformation in the Philippines.

      If China and Russia are “bad” because of the information war, Amerikkka is at the very least just as guilty. At the very least.

        It’s just another cold war, being fight with bots and social engineering. I wonder how future historians are going to call this period, as also involves trading supply chains.

      Stalin and Mao killed more people than the US has since WW2. It’s effective propoganda because it is real politique and good propaganda is based off truth.

        I’ll answer this one because the other seems to be cut off.

        Are you taking into consideration in your numbers the “unofficial” operations of the US did in other countries, as well as the many deaths the US is responsible for by enabling ultra capitalistic endeavors, in and out their territory?

          I haven’t dug through the weeds myself. Definitely open to reading any sources you have in mind that are reputable in your eyes.
