    If this account isn’t a psyop, it’s a military fetishist weeb, which is arguably more pathetic.

      Psychological operations (PSYOPs) are military operations to convey selected information and indicators to audiences to influence their motives and objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of governments, organizations, groups, and large foreign powers. (From Wikipedia)

      So basically propaganda I guess. Gotta be one of the most Murican things I’ve read in a long time…

        You would do well for yourself and your loved ones to recognize how prevalent this sort of thing is in the world. It’s not just an American thing. Not by a long shot.

        Propaganda tends to refer to either the material itself or systematic distribution of it. Psyops refers to the overarching military operations that employ propaganda, and also refers to the way that the material is disseminated (e.g. planting people in organizations to stir trouble, leaflet-ing, social media bot campaigns, false flag campaigns like bombing something and blaming it on someone else, etc).

    I went to ComiCon two weeks ago and the military had a recruitment booth right next to the CBD/THC booth and there were furries hanging around both.

      The government and our military is propped up by furries. Unfortunately no one with real power listens to them. So they keep the lights on while idiots drive the ship into the rocks
