I could be being daft here but I thought USAID was a propaganda and infiltration tactic. Like a way for the USA to put pressure on other countries.
Maybe, but:
- Those who operated and participated in the aid activities believed it was genuine
- It helped a lot of people under that pretense

If it really is a propaganda, infiltration, and pressure tactic then none of those things justify it's existence. Of course it might not just be that and reality is complicated. Either way promoting interventionism from a country with such a horrific record as the USA is a bad idea.

I swear I did not thought I would see, in my lifetime, the fall of the American Empire, and so fast and so far from where it once stand. As a non american this it makes me sad that the people could not see this coming and now it's too far gone.
A great example to the world that we should never lower our guns because evil is just one election away

Yeah I'm not saying its right or wrong, only that I can understand why some people defend it and its impact can't be ignored.

I find that to be a very weak argument.
Say I make fun of a racist. If they're just a poor propagandized individual who finally realizes their act, should I not shame them? Should I not ensure that they realize the depth of their behavior, the depth of their shame?
Shrugs I like to keep records. I don't like letting people off the hook after they shit the bed and force everyone else to clean it up while they figure out they don't like how it smells. I think that's weak behavior and a big part of the reason we're here today.
Edit: I'm ok with letting children off the hook. Kids are fucking dumb.
Fwiw I think you're correct. Everyone else wants to keep being nice to these morons. I say rub their face in it.

It's almost like.. idk.. history repeats itself

This post did not contain any content.
I'm confused about who this post is really aimed at. Personally I don't know anyone who suddenly decided that trump is a bad person because of this one latest act of draconian nonsense.

That’s actually the ‘thorn’ symbol, representative of the ‘th’ sound. It was used in old English, with the example everyone might know being for the word ‘the’. It was spelled þe, with ‘y’ being used as a placeholder representation of thorn, and so thus we got “ye olde”.
Could be an intentional stylistic choice, could be that they are Icelandic (as thorn is still used in their modern alphabet iirc), but it’s arguably not technically incorrect.
Right but we're speaking English that doesn't contain that symbol so why is it there?

Your keyboards all messed up btw, seems to be combining t and h into archaic nonsense for some reason.
The keyboard's not broken, they're doing it on purpose because they're a prat. They're trying to be some meme account, like poemforyoursprog, except not as good and way more annoying.

I mean, I gave my guesses in the comment you’re replying to, but your guess is likely just as good as mine. Someone else mentioned that people had apparently been doing it to try and disrupt LLMs training on their scraped comment text, but I hadn’t heard anything about that so idk.
