  Well you can’t not do that, especially not if you’re already known for doing that kind of thing anyway for other things.

    A repressive regime that becomes less repressive during a global pandemic is highly suspicious. Gotta keep up appearances.

      I remember reading somewhere that while a western audience would perceive this as utterly farcical, a Chinese citizen is at least more likely to perceive it as the government taking their safety and security seriously enough to be thorough about it. Meanwhile in the US, the government is more successful in hiding abuses by “protecting freedoms.” Powerful people all around the world have basically the same playbook, but a big part of that strategy is knowing their audience.

        I like you.

        Like, this is what conspiracy should be - actually somewhat believable - and not dumb shit like flat earth.

        I always held that 9/11 was dubious. Not an “inside job” per se, but definitely a case of “we’re gonna turn our backs for just a second, and you terrorists better not do something silly while we’re not looking!”

        One of the biggest things that will always stick out to me: the WMDs. They were adamant Iraq had them. They said they had actual evidence. None of our was true. It all came across as an excuse for ol’ George to go in and try to finish what daddy started in '91.

        Just to be clear as well, I think other conspiracies such as the controlled demolition of the towers and the fake plane at the pentagon are bullshit. I don’t have my tinfoil hat on that tightly.

        We’re stupid, but at least we’re honest about it. They’re stupid, but at least they have the decency to not act like it out in broad daylight.

        Wrong comparison. People from the US are stupid and proud of it. There’s nothing honest coming from the US except bombs.
