  • I feel the same as OP but it’s not due to lack of knowledge, it’s good threat assessment. My political ideology is anchored entirely in the idea of empathy and being left alone so foreign actors trying to radicalize me isn’t going to go far. Data about my political leanings are going to be an anomaly on the graph so it won’t help anyone trying to sway a nation that already doesn’t want any of my input regardless of who’s in charge.

    As for corpos, I would gladly buy all of my stuff internationally if it got me a better price, but now all it gets is slower shipping. Meanwhile, the local corpos actively spy on my every move so they can better rip me off. It’s, a good idea to be worried about a gunfight happening down the block, but it shouldn’t distract from the gunfight in your yard.

    Yes, the best practice is to sure up against every threat, but in a practical sense, worrying about an international body harvesting my data is like watching a burglar open your front door and deciding you need bars on the attic vent.












  • Think of it like an expert playing dumb to catch someone lying about their specific field of study.

    If I go out and say I’m a former government agent who had access to the must classified of classified documents, someone has to actually look into that on the off chance it’s real. If I follow by mentioning I know the truth about Kennedy, you can basically close the case there as there’s no “truth” to be known.


  • I think Kennedy is a mole trap.

    It’s the most well documented conspiracy ever, literally the textbook example of conspiracy theories. Every detailed has been looked at time and time again by every pair of braincells ever interested in conspiracy. There’s absolutely no chance that the government doesn’t have every single facet of it fully understood. Instead of giving it a case closed and a pretty bow, they leave it out there as a test. Any time some quack comes out with “secret insider information” and mentions Kennedy, they know they can write him off because anyone that really knows would know the Kennedy thing is a joke.

    Every so often an agent has to go stir thr pot by asking this question so everyone still thinks it’s important.
