A KGB spy and a CIA agent meet up in a bar for a friendly drink. "I have to admit, I'm always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up," the CIA agent says. "Thank you," the KGB says. "We do our best but truly, it's nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them." The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. "Thank you friend, but you must be confused... There's no propaganda in America."

Meanwhile:

I talk to my wife about guitar lessons for our son with our phones in the room, and receive dozens of ads for child-size guitars totally by coincidence.

Degoogle your phones then. Graphene, lineage, EOS etc offer everything anyone might need or want.

America implements the most exaggerated Soviet jokes, exhibit #1234.

I laughed, the conductor laughed, the toaster laughed, I shot the toaster.

That would've been a lot of listening devices. It's amazing that nobody saw them.

It would have been a lot of listening devices, producing hours of audio each, which would require a nearly equal amount of man-hours to listen to it if they were supposed to catch random people doing something "bad." This is of course ridiculous, but logic does not matter in this.

isnt this the idea behind the panopticon. you might be getting observed but you can't guarantee it so you have to act nice even if you aren't being observed at that moment?

[-] edie@lemmy.encryptionin.space 5 points 4 months ago

You're right.

The joke is cut off for whatever reason. I guess the point was that there where no listening devices but the guy who ordered tea made the others believe there where.

[-] JustSo@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago

you missed that the punchline was that the fsb heard the whole joke through the mics and killed everyone. ...

[-] chloroken@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 months ago

Sorry for cutting it off i didn't mean to be trixy just lazy
