Everyone who disagrees with my opinions is a insert current US enemy here bot.

I particularly love how people keep recycling this line on Lemmy. Like they really think there's this massive foreign propaganda campaign targeting a niche social media platform with thousands of users. They don't even stop think that the corporate media platforms they've been using are the ones that are being manipulated by their own governments, while what they see on Lemmy might be organic discourse normal people are having.

They're sure working overtime to make this quote apply to not just the US, but the whole world:

We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.

It's certainly been a stellar success wherever US media platforms are dominant. The power of cultural hegemony is by far the greatest weapons that the empire has.
