This is not a parody, it's state . It was shown on TV

...2 days after shot down an Airlines passenger plane, killing 38 people

Besides that tone deafness, you could view it as mere anti- (the Coca Cola, the , the traditional Father Frost). But please note it is not a defensive posture, it's and violent. It might be harmless during peacetime, but it's tasteless, at least, considering what Russia is doing in

Apologies for posting this here, but it is relevant, as many of us use Wikipedia believing it’s some sort of neutral source.

There’s been a lot of buzz online lately about Elon Musk referring to Wikipedia as “woke.”(a meaning completely/succesffully reversed-engineered by the far-right - a story 4 another day). Nothing could be further from the truth

US agency focused on foreign disinformation shuts down
https://hongkongfp.com/2024/12/26/us-agency-focused-on-foreign-disinformation-shuts-down/

The Global Engagement Center, a State Department unit established in 2016, shuttered on Monday at a time when officials and experts tracking propaganda have been warning of the risk of disinformation campaigns from US adversaries such as Russia and China. Congress failed to extend its funding following years of Republican criticism.

"EU Commission tried to influence political views in the Netherlands. In the contentious fight over the heavily criticized chat control regulation (a proposed EU law that could undermine all encrypted online communication to allow authorities to read online chats), the European Commission has identified the Netherlands as a Member State that they wanted to influence politically. In an attempt to "flip" the views in the Netherlands, the Commission went to X/Twitter and made postings indirectly promoting this Regulation."

POLL: "Nearly six-in-ten Americans, 59%, express confidence in Trump to make good decisions about economic policy." 😳

Some will look at the results of the poll below and argue it proves just how stupid US voters are. They’ll say we are getting exactly what we deserve.

But I take a different view. I say this is the inevitable and completely intentional result of mass brainwashing.

For more than a century, starting in the aftermath of the Civil War, our capitalist rulers have used the media they own, the politicians they’ve bought, and the education system they control to teach Americans exactly how to think and what to believe.

It’s no accident we’ve ended up where we are. And it’s not the fault of the people, at least not entirely. It is by design -- a cruel, corrupt, evil, yet brilliantly successful design.
