It's a good stance to take with all "scientific breakthrough" articles. Poopsci is notorious for overhyping and just flat out misrepresentation. It's where the notorious "10 more years until fusion" meme came from. The actual engineers working on the project weren't the ones saying that.
Sometimes it is ok to communicate things in the same language some tend to understand. If they are using Big Lie to create alternative reality, it is ok to moderately do it. These kind of people become the biggest crybabies when they are given a taste if their own medicine.
I know you are not calling me one. Its just that I consider it okay as long as I am self-aware and moderate the usage. I have trained myself enough to not become the thing I seek to destroy, if that reference makes sense. Its risky for most untrained people to take that road, though. Psyops are dangerous as fuck. Look at CIA agents who eventually go mentally ill.
Last time I checked self-awareness makes you more insane, not less. And the worst part is that you'll be completely oblivious to it all. Everyone around you will know and they'll keep it to themselves while you continue to spiral further and further down that rabbit hole.
I called out the false projection, not implied Russians engage in anything. Why are you defending American global terrorism practices by excusing it as Russians allegedly engaging in them?
