Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Former intelligence officer claims KGB recruited Trump243·3 months agoHe has almost no filter and I think if he was a secret KGB operative, that would not be a secret by now because it would have just come out at random at some point.
He’s extremely malleable, loves rich people and authoritarians, and will agree with almost anyone who kisses his ass. So it’s pretty easy for Putin to just wrap him around his little finger.

True in the U.S. too, as I know from personal experience. And becoming even less true with AI voices that can realistically simulate emotional inflections. Basically, except for a very small number of people, VO is a side gig.

This is why I will always be labeled a Zionist no matter what I say or do. It doesn’t matter how much effort I have put into trying to stop this genocide or how much I condemn Israel… nothing I ever say or do will be enough because I happened to be born from certain parents.
I also never call anyone a goy, or consider myself chosen. Again though, that doesn’t matter. To at least 26 people on Lemmy. Probably far more.

Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Israel drops leaflets threatening Gazans to 'leave or die'English71·3 months agoI am a Jew. I have never supported Israel and I have always condemned it.
That never seems to matter though. To people like you, I’m genetically a Zionist.
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Israel drops leaflets threatening Gazans to 'leave or die'English7·3 months agoI do. Betting that Trump lied about something is usually a pretty safe bet to make.

You have to stop fascism before it ever starts.
