Their interests aren’t generally all that aligned, so that helps. It’s pretty obvious that the garbage coming out of the cable news networks is at a minimum deeply sympathetic to American corporate interests, if not straight up misinformation.

From a US perspective, I see these tactics being used far more extensively by wealthy individuals and corporate interests than I do Chinese interests. Unfortunately, our government and especially our politicians are often directly involved in spreading misinformation and suppressing the truth. We need strategies that function outside of government to close the gaps between reality and public perception.
Name one example of a serious problem being faced by humanity that isn’t solidly rooted in undue respect for unchallenged ideas. I think that any philosophy that inherently encourages that kind of behavior is dangerous. I know full well that some people think that makes me an asshole, but I also know they will never try to actually support that belief. Now that’s irony.
Why would anyone respect an opinion? I respect your right to have an opinion. I respect your right to advocate for an opinion. Opinions themselves should have to earn respect.
This is a perfect example of the kind of harm that magical thinking must do to society in order to preserve itself. Your words sound egalitarian, but they make you an asshole without you even noticing it.
Not really. Detaching one’s self from reality is inherently hostile to humanity’s future. It’s an asshole thing to do.
To be fair, we’re all assholes far more than we like to admit, religious or not. Being “spiritual” is not especially worse than a whole lot of other behaviors.
I’m not sure that Ukraine sees this as a test war, but I get your point.
They do, but these drones are far cheaper to build than the missiles usually used to shoot them down. They are also being produced in massive quantities.
It’s almost like they’re acting like a public corporation.
It might be a schtick, but their public facade never entirely detached from their actual identity. Also, isn’t that what everyone does to some extent?
My experience as a suburban white kid growing up in the Reagan era was that racism was just something to learn about in history class. Part of me really misses being that naive.

Thanks for explaining why basic societal infrastructure - even digital infrastructure - doesn’t belong in the hands of private corporations.
I might put it more violently, but… Yes.
She was certainly on the “acceptable” list. Then Biden turned around and called for increased police funding. They are clowns.
Or go to work at an insurance company denying claims. It’s better money and less hassle.
Residency is almost just a hazing ritual for gatekeeping . I honestly don’t think it makes doctors better. However, residency is not new, but the building doctor shortage is. My primary care physician of 20 years just retired early because the corporation that bought out his office was pushing him to take so many patients for such little compensation that it just wasn’t worth it.
The same cell might be even better.
I got banned for spreading “disinformation” about how badly the war with Ukraine is going for Russia.
