    nah what’s happening here is I am making claim X. Then you go: are you claiming Y? Prove it! And then I go: no. Then you start talking all this shit about covert CIA ops and mafia pizza joints and whatever, showing no signs of understanding that I said X. What choice do I have but to conclude that you are an idiot

      Then show supporting evidence for your X then?

      USAID is that it is primarily a front for CIA operations

        This was my X:

        My understanding of USAID is that it is primarily a front for CIA operations.

        Evidence:

        ??? You want brain scans?

          Exactly, you made the whole thing up.

          USAID is not primarily a front for CIA operations. It is a organization responsible for foreign aid and development. Sure the CIA has used some USAID programs for their own purposes, but that doesn’t mean USAID itself is primarily a CIA operation.

            My mistake! Sorry, Captain America! I will never be cynical about US foreign policy ever again!

              Not defending the US foreign policy, but this is just right-wing propaganda to cut funding to essential programs. So I’m shutting it down.
