The part that bothers me here is their inability to connect the dots that if the CIA is stoking dissent in these countries, that means the groups and figures the CIA is using in said countries aren’t freedom fighters, they’re imperialist patsies. But no, they can’t get over the plucky rebels narrative they’ve been sold.
I don’t know how you do it. You always have the perfect Simpsons scene for every possible situation, edited just right for the given context without detracting from or breaking the flow of the original joke. Sometimes I question if you even edited it until I remember the original scene because they always feel like perfectly plausible Simpsons dialogue. You do good work, comrade, I always need the laugh when things otherwise seem so bleak.
Liberals will gladly condemn plucky rebels if they are told they are bad guys using the bad guys lexicon. They were told to for literally every socialist revolution and continue to do so against every nation, no matter how small, that refuses to continue the complete imperialist domination of their country.
Propaganda is a battle and our capacity is in getting people to sit down and actually work through these things in a longer format, with very patient people helping them understand, and targeting those easiest to educate first.

Thank you, that means a lot to me
It probably helps that I’ve seen the show so much as to basically have it memorized
Frinkiac also helps if I have a rough time remembering the exact gag

Hence why Malala went from lionized by libs to being persona non grata once she started advocating for socialism
Don’t worry, she libbed up
