I’ve had the thought that if I were to design a psyop campaign, a pretty solid option for dominating the discussion would be to come out swinging and accuse everyone else of being an agent. That way, people have to either constantly defend against accusations, or they conclude, rightly, the accusations are baseless and decide to disregard the very idea that there is a psyop going on.

Hey, not our fault they stockpiled the wrong flavor of ammo!

I’ll pass it on to the protesters, I’m sure they’ll upload it on another platform for you soon.

I’ll pass it on to the protesters, I’m sure they’ll be moved by your plight.

Well, they’re currently working through their egg stockpile

Let me guess, “Zelensky did it first”?
