    The CIA would never make something up, they’ve got a spotless track record

      The credibility of the CIA is not the issue here. No one thinks they’re credible. But y’all treat the CIA as if they unilaterally control every event on the entire earth. It’s absurd.

      Yes, the CIA lies and commits atrocities. But that doesn’t mean every historical atrocity by the Bolsheviks or the CPC or whoever was invented by them. There’s plenty of blame to go around.

      Cuba, Vietnam, China, Venezuela, the USSR. These are some examples of a lefty functional model of government.

      Fuck off, tankie.

          It’s clearly sarcasm, but the implication is that the human rights violations leftists complain about really are just CIA propaganda.

      This is how alarming online indoctrination has become. There are apparently plenty of those who don’t know this is obvious sarcasm. These people are too far gone and need to hand in their internet badges and internet guns, and go on a vacation to the front door.

        What are you saying exactly? I imagine they are downvoted because the implication is that tankies are correct that leftists who raise concerns over human rights are CIA plants. I can’t imagine anyone thinks this earnest.
