What do you reckon the organization looks like and what is the size?
What follows is totally unsubstantiated and just my gut.
I feel like there is A/B testing of phrases and factoids that is then used on the wider web. Also wonder if a good chunk of it is training as some of the writing is painfully naive in regards to western life and world politics in general. I also wonder how many follower parrots there are that are just propagandized westerners.
Holy shit! Are you really unironically defending the North Korean government? Like, are you trolling?
Woah. That’s pretty wild. If you’re not trolling, what country are you from and how would you describe yourself politically? Where do you get your news?
I’ve only got 32tb in the family Raid 5 (actually 24TB since I lose a drive to parity), but my girl really loves her trash TV while she works so we’re on like 90% full.
And I’m just a podunk machinist.
Downvoted cause why not? The points don’t matter.
I thought middle management was the guy in between the crew and upper management?
Absolute shit stressful job, btw. Never doing that shit again. If you have a heart, that job will kill it.
Whore isn’t really gendered? There are more female whores than male whores in sex work but there are more male whores in politics than female. It is an insult about submission and service with a sexual connotation.
I think you’re seeing a difference in cultural weighting of common profanity. I’m from the deep south of the US.
I’m used to cunt being considered more offensive than whore. Whore is a milder obscenity than fuck, shit, or cunt. It is similar to slut, dick, or piss.
Wait, what did they do to the peace sign? Also, what about the hand signal?
It’s probably the word ‘whore’. Similar to ‘cunt’, it hits a little different from ‘prostitute’ or ‘pussy’.
Culturally, ‘whore’ is an acceptable word for me to use. Any permutation of the N word is not.
I’ve spent a fair amount of time among drag queens(not necessarily sex workers but there is overlap), strippers, prostitutes and crack whores. Most of them are decent folks in hard times. It is rare that people willingly choose sex work, instead, it’s usually desperation and addiction. A desperate population does desperate things like petty crime.
A sex worker can be a honest whore. Nothing wrong with being a honest whore.
Now being a sales weasel and making backroom deals, that’s a lying whore.
Yeah, I see things reported or comments on Lemmy that ping my radar. Used to see it on thedonald subreddit. That was painfully transparent at first, you could see the Russians clock in and go to work.
All of this sounds like crazy talk, certainly makes me feel paranoid. However, I don’t think most of us, myself included, understand the scale of the media manipulation that is occuring. I think it’s chaotic, state level actors and corporations. Lemmy having a single source for its manipulation is unusual but it is small and nerdy.
