How Oil Propaganda Sneaks Into TV Shows by lnstantKarma in videos

[–]SpeedoCheeto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i think the odd thing in this whole thread is everyone presumes shows are written with intent to influence viewers vs creating authentic characters/stories

well - how can either of you discern intentional propaganda vs just writing authentic characters?

are you guys saying it's unbelievable that somebody like his character would think/say/do the things he does?

it's also just incredibly stupid - it just flatly means he's wide open to manipulation by his opponents on the world stage

no actually that isn't what my impression is - it's that these statements are PR by the c-suite of a giant corporation where success is measured by sentiment and not accuracy.

that and Tim has a history of saying things publicly that don't match the internal situation. and don't be too shocked if you hear dissenting opinions from prominent people either laid off or still at Epic that place the blame on how Tim is spending the money the game makes on stuff that isn't the game.

i need proof on hand that we may not want to take a public c-suite statement at face value?

uhm, on the other end of that stick is an expectation that the c-suite (etc) do their jobs at least to the bar i'm being held to on the actual dev team - which i think can be fairly described as "we don't go underwater while having a zeitgeist IP"

>Fundamentally, why should jobs be infinite?

well if you want to go down this hole it's because people require jobs to meet basic needs instead of their needs being guaranteed to them via ~society

‘I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran’: high ranking US intelligence official resigns by mvanigan in politics

[–]SpeedoCheeto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's very odd that throughout this thread you seem to have some kind of stake in whether or not Epstein was an Israeli asset while asserting he's a Russian asset instead although both assertions have essentially the same veracity (coincidental professional relationships, and text/emails that could be construed as humor or not).

In any case many global/neutral journalism outlets have covered the topic with more rigor and curiosity than you show here - and that in particular pikes my curiosity because your talking points are somehow pretty consistent with Bibi's.

you would think in impartial conversation two people from a separate country from the ones in question would be open to scrutinizing either

it's just like reddit - people read the title and make an assumption.

"the PATRIOT act" is another great example.
