which says that some random Chinese lady now lives in Australia and gets paid to talk shit about her old government, and I thought

I can do that!

Then if you look at the founder of Falun Gong (who is just a run of the mill insane person (i) ), he works at the

global headquarters in Dragon Springs, a 173-hectare (427-acre) compound in Deerpark, New York, United States, near the residence of Li.

and I thought

I can do that!

I know most of the propagandists and compradors are NED or CIA funded and maintained, but like, did they have to send an application? How did they get that job? I’m asking because I talk shit about the fascist USA gov since 2002 AND I have 2 jobs, so I was thinking it would be better to streamline the whole process.

I might be projecting here, as I think the USA / White Empire is the only true imperial power on the planet, but if I’m not then tropical climate preferred- Cuba/Vietnam, thank you.

Most of the old Soviet posters criticizing America are still pretty poignant today…

        Yep. Americans who talk of “liberty” and “freedom”, and the church men who screamed about the Godless Commies and turned the Cold War into a Crusade to get butts in pews every Sunday, were a bunch of hypocrites during the Cold War and they’re still hypocrites today.
