I just don't get who listens to Benz and thinks, "yeah, this guy's on the level." Same people who simp for billionaires, I guess.

Also the computers barely worked and I was mostly paid in free sandwiches.

The healthcare plan was great, though. So were the coworkers.

"CIA Cut-out NED" lol. Many of the people I met while working at NED were real victims of censorship. Journalists who had been shot at, imprisoned, dipped in acid. People whose loved ones had been killed by real dictators. Not people who are cosplaying oppression like Benz.

Terribly excited to read this and may cite it in something I'm working on.

Have you thought about this in contexts like media literacy education, fact-checking, and public debate? Any recommended reading?

Lots of use for a framework for describing bad faith.

(As @berinszoka.bsky.social points out, by "great" the admin literally means "white." A Europe whole, free, and at peace is the greatest Europe has ever been.)

The 🇺🇸/🇪🇺 conflict over "free speech" isn't really about 🇪🇺's sometimes illiberal limits on speech. It's about preserving "European" identity—literally, whiteness—
and exporting the MAGA revolution, as the new 🇺🇸 National Security Strategy makes clear. "Free speech" just makes it sound a tad less racist

Have you considered quitting and walking into the forest, never to return?
