So what you’re saying is that it’s Reagans star wars program? A way of forcing unsustainable growth into a rival power at effectively no cost. Ya know history doesn’t repeat itself but it does rhyme, so what will the US equivalent of “Mr. Gorbachev tear down that wall be”? Or will it be more a wailing from inside the Whitehouse bunker as mustard gas is pumped in and the doors welded shut.
Comment on China approves launch of world first brain-computer interface device
CosmoNova@lemmy.world 4 days agoIt‘s standard „China is 50 years ahead of us!!!“ type media coverage and a core part of Chinese propaganda. They always make these spectacular claims and by the time experts and peer reviews chime in to debunk it or at least express serious doubts there‘s already another wild technology breakthrough claim from China. They know it takes a magnitude of effort to debunk fake news so they‘re always faster than people who actually have to read through their often AI generated slop studies. Even when the tech is technically real it‘s usually blown out of proportions. Even when they accomplish impressive tasks they coat it in lies. That‘s just how Chinese propaganda operates. You have to doubt everything.

A KGB spy and a CIA agent meet up in a bar for a friendly drink
“I have to admit, I’m always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up,” the CIA agent says.
“Thank you,” the KGB says. “We do our best but truly, it’s nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them.”
The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. “Thank you friend, but you must be confused… There’s no propaganda in America.”

Oh I know a good one too! A tankie goes into a bar, does a little whataboutism.
Seriously you people are in desperate need of new material. You won‘t win anyone over with „US bad too!“ We know, but it‘s off topic here.
