Re: Meh - CA is an advertising agency

Also, why can the Russian Ad agencies throw an election, but not the US ones?

Because they are the all-powerful enemy that eats children, cooks using neural toxic gas and sets what the election should be in their free time.

BOLLOCKS... The Hypocritical nature of the debate has no limits and we have become THEM. Of old. Of the Suslov and Brezhnev times. We are now no different.

People forget what really screwed the Eastern Block and delivered the fall of the wall. Sure, the superweapon race, the war in Afghanistan, the ridiculous economic mismanagement, etc had their role. They, however were not the key winners. The key winners were the truth versus fake news and propaganda.

When Chernobyl blew up, it was only the western media which delivered some resemblance of truth. The media in the Eastern block lied like mad for weeks. That was not one off - it was a daily thing. As a result people stopped believing anything the rulers told them. It was the total mistrust of everyone (regardless of their political views) which made the Eastern Block fold so easily. The west HAD the high moral ground. The Soviets were perceived as a bunch of lousy liars. We have forgotten that. We have forgotten that there is no more powerful weapon, but the truth.

Instead of that we now cook fake news to our heart's content and paint the opponent in "they eat children" colors. Our signature today is Boris the Bollocker.

I bet that they have to call an exorcist to the Kremlin wall internment and Novodevichie semetery on a regular basis because the like of Suslov and Brezhnev are giggling in their graves so loudly that you can hear them from a mile away.

They giggle at the way we bend and hide truth. They giggle at the way we erode the rights which we claimed as fundamental (and which was one of the main arguments which won the Cold War). While they giggle, Comrade Eric Honeker gravestone keeps on cracking all over from him having a boner while observing how Treasonous May is implementing his dream surveillance state (he never had a sense of humor so expecting him to just giggle is a tall order)
