It's so insulting that they think of us as dumb farm animals who couldn't possibly have the wherewithal to be driven to action against our overlords without the sinister hand of some foreign spectre. "Put us where we are", Hey buddy, I want to do the things I want to do because this country put me where I am, ever think of that?
Where they are: crushing medical debt with chronic pain, scared of becoming homeless and murdered like Jordan Neely, whose killer roams free
It's a tale as old as time. Apparently a lot of people thought King Louis XVI was cool and totally wanted to help the people but he was being sabotaged by his wife and the nefarious Austrians. Same thing with the Tsar and the nefarious Germans. It's always a foreign enemy.
if they admit in a public newspaper that you have agency yourself, it might inspire other people to follow in your footsteps. so they make it seem as if it was some orchestrated russian attack. this way, they can also unite the people "against a common enemy". it's a known scheme to distract from internal problems. and it's working; more than working.
