If you ever get a chance to take the train along the Hudson river, be sure to sit on the west side.

Similar thing happened to me during the great recession. My older brothers already had their degrees and just started working when it hit. Their employers laid off the high earning boomers and promoted them without raises. I was still in college and the job placement metrics at my school were abysmal by the time I was getting close to finishing. It's such bullshit because nearly everyone who benefitted by this phenomenon denies it.
Hexbears, I need your help on the history of apartheid in South Africa. Specifically what I wanna know is should I be concerned my new CEO may have a not so ethical past? His parents were Lychee farmers and he immigrated here in 2000 through the Fulbright scholarship program. Should I be concerned that this guy's parents owned slaves?
So that essay really doesn't cover the actual propaganda technique which I've always heard called vranyo, and your right it could be that some Nazi or American decided to use a Russian word to label their propaganda technique. I shouldn't have said Russia started it, but meant instead to cite back to Dostoevsky's analysis of lying in Russia. The essay is an observation of why lying is so prevalent in late 1800's Russia.
This line most stands out to me as an early example of why a blatant lie is a wonderful tactic in propaganda; For centuries truth will lie right on the table before people but they will not take it: they will chase after a fabrication precisely because they look upon it as something fantastic and utopian.
Like you had asked earlier. Why do chuds all spout the same blatant lie that immigrants get tens of thousands of dollars in free stuff? It is because they know they are lying and are seeking to entertain an audience with others who will repeat and purport the lie. Your coworker is testing if you will participate in the ritual, when you refute it with fact you've indicated you are not going to participate in this ritual.
The swing states all have a lot of fuckery at the local level and it will take a couple days before we know who is the true winner. SCOTUS will try to intervene but the lower courts will get ahead of them to ensure the states wrap up the counting. Harris probably wins, but the chuds will be frothing at the mouth. I'm setting the over/under for how many get shot dead by the authorities at 3.5.
My Nephew's favorite thing is Minecraft. It seems like the easiest way to make a huge profit is getting the attention of children. They will beg their parents for the treats and the parents will oblige.
