Capitalists can just be like “dude look at this NPR article socialism is bad”

Meanwhile I have to have an extensive understanding of philosophy, history, science, economics and politics in order to justify my worldview.

Sometimes I forget that people don’t have comprehensive world views, and accidentally say something’s CIA propaganda, then have to go through that whole process of explaining how the CIA having fronts and interfering in global affairs isn’t a conspiracy, it’s just reality, and that finding sources about it isn’t the same as finding sources for an 8th grade book report, because it’s the goddamn CIA! Shits exhausting and sucks balls, I just want to be dumb I know I’m right bitch, get off my dick

Vijay Prashad wrote a history of the 54 coup in Guatemala using online sources from the CIA and I know people who would still deny US involvement. He talks about it during his appearance on Guerilla History with Bhret from Rev Left.

It's completely documented BY THE CIA they literally brag about this stuff, but the media knows not to make a big deal about it for the public.
