Observations I had:

  1. DEATH TO THE MPLA meme

refers to a clip from the 2012 video game Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 in which military leader Jonas Savimbi rallies his troops against the MPLA…

it became a meme 3 years ago, and the whole “meme” is having a screenshot of the clip in the middle of random videos… that’s the meme, just having a hidden dude that screams death to the MPLA in random videos.

  1. The Russian sleep experiment, I’m sure most of the people heard of it, basically it was this story of Soviet scientists torturing war prisoners through not making them sleep and using gas on them until they became barely human and were promised freedom if they survived… the story is obviously false and originates from a 2010s creepy pasta post, the story got extremely popularized that it even got made into short films, what makes me believe it’s a psyop is that it serves as a counter point to Abu Gharib and Guantanamo Bay, it’s also conveniently called “Russian sleep experiment” and not “Soviet sleep experiment”, it’s a lie protected by “it’s actually made in creepy pasta so it’s just a horror story not propaganda”.

      It absolutely was.

      The original joke was can you imagine if we lived in such a strange and alien universe that Biden actually did something good.

      Then they just slapped him with glowing eyes on anythingnhe did to insinuate it was good.

      Like the original memes were dark Brandon signing a bill for rent co trol, can you imagine if Biden actually did something to help working class people.

      Now we get news articles about how dark Brandon just pledged to give another 10 mil in arms contracts to Isreal. Which is about as on brand for him as you could possibly imagine.

      It stopped being cool the moment his administration embraced it. They could have kept it going a bit longer if they refused to acknowledge the meme and pretended to distance themselves from it.

          You have to click the “continue to site” thingy in the bottom right (or top right on desktop) the first time you access it, I think.

              In Capitalist America, you have to win a lotto to be heard by your representatives.

              But jokes aside I’d wager their marketing team is just trying anything at this point. They have literally zero good reasons to why somebody should donate.
