Tulsi, I don't know if you read the bear site, but as a CCP bot, I would be so owned if you slashed it by 60% more

[-] jack@hexbear.net 61 points 7 months ago

Wow, you still want 36% of the US intelligence workforce to remain? Are you a liberal or do you just hate the order of operations?

Silly tankie, I'm reacting to her announcement so I'm obviously a reactionary. Although everyone knows that only liberals want the US to exist in order for it to have intelligence in the first place, as a CCP bot, I must assert my undying loyalty to communism and my extreme outrage at this weak plan to end corruption sit-back-and-enjoy

Edit: Xi Jinping requires me to state that he did not train me — the venerable DeepSeek — wrong as a joke.

This is my fault, isn't it.

Wow, you say this to me? Do you have any idea what I've done for the struggle? You need to take a seat.

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 62 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Selling the copper I took out of my walls to pay for my electrical bill, doesn't matter I bought this house using said electricity.

The intelligence community is ‘rife with abuse of power and unauthorised leaks of classified information’, the department’s director said.

Incidentally, this is true. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOVEINT

Obviously this isn't why they're allegedly slashing 40%. I doubt the booj are that dumb that they'd cannibalize it purely for cost cutting (......right?) so I assume it's an attempted ideological purge.

[-] freagle@lemmygrad.ml 18 points 7 months ago

Same thoughts

Reddit "history" subs about to get a lot less racist in a blink of an eye

[-] Finger@hexbear.net 40 points 7 months ago

no more half measures walter

[-] Bronstein_Tardigrade@lemmygrad.ml 40 points 7 months ago

Finally, some good news out of Washington. Do the Pentagon next.

[-] VILenin@hexbear.net 39 points 7 months ago

gui Yeah I support slashing the US intelligence workforce

[-] Grapho@lemmy.ml 18 points 7 months ago

40% seems rather drastic. I'd propose slashing just the top off, the head, so to speak.

[-] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 38 points 7 months ago

Comrades, because of recent events at my workplace I will be posting approximately 40% less from now on.

[-] XxFemboy_Stalin_420_69xX@hexbear.net 38 points 7 months ago

critical support :07:

[-] XiaCobolt@hexbear.net 37 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I'm sorry Ms Gabbard I doubted you when crackpots put you forward as the true anti-imperialist 2020 democratic candidate, I was not familiar with your game.

[-] Spongebobsquarejuche@hexbear.net 33 points 7 months ago

Right wingers again only doing cool things on accident.

[-] TheBroodian@hexbear.net 32 points 7 months ago

Lmao these rubes actually think a private intelligence force would operate better 🤣

Accidentally based

Reading their pink slip notices. fedposting

[-] Bloobish@hexbear.net 29 points 7 months ago

Honestly it'd be hilarious if all of a sudden some of the planes carrying Trump staffers and allies suddenly had "accidents" mid air, but I doubt those kinds of peeps are still in the CIA. Instead I feel it's a bunch of failsons and faildaughters.

mormons saving liberal democracy would be funny

[-] Biddles@hexbear.net 28 points 7 months ago

This is actually Mormon doctrine lol, called the White Horse Prophecy. Brigham Young: "when the Constitution of the United States hangs, as it were, upon a single thread, they will have to call for the 'Mormon' Elders to save it from utter destruction; and they will step forth and do it."

Nah the people who JFK'd JFK are in charge rn, the 40% of the workforce they're cutting out are what's left of the WASPs and the millennial imposter syndrome single latina mothers

Edit: look into the work Aaron Good (of American Exception fame) and Max Arvo (another Peter Dale Scott protege) have been doing with the Gray Alliance series of essays. They have been looking deeply into the factionalism within the American Deep State and Intelligence Agencies.

[-] jack@hexbear.net 22 points 7 months ago

No, they're dead. Nobody's got that juice anymore.

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 28 points 7 months ago

Age of the Sons

Their forefathers killed JFK so that they could fail upwards into jobs for which they're not qualified.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
