    I fully expected to drop this as soon as I saw the first screen considering this is a movie made by the military, but it actually was interesting that I sat through the whole thing.

    One point this film makes that I rarely see online is the idea that oppositions are not dumb. They know what they are doing, and it’s not just them accidentally shooting themselves at their foot (at least, not always).

      Everytime I see someone posting this video, I watch it from beginning to end. All the way back to my days on Reddit. Too bad it did little good then, and unfortunately we are watching maga pull the same playbook and it’s working.

      Maybe we need a modern version.

        I’ve wondered how Putin got into power for a bit now. I heard that he also used the power of oligarchies to seize control, and used rigging as well. Maybe I should make a post later?

      Everything happens for a calculated reason… most of the time. Or maybe they’re playing it off as intentional.
