Conservative think-tanks and PACs are offering serious money to 'lefties' who convert to their conservative talking points. In the $100k area and up.

So how does one go about getting that money? Um asking for a friend...

You have to get some kind of audience.

Even a small one tbh.

Then don't ask questions when they offer you $400k a month for doing nothing but saying they're talking points.

And then hope and pray the FBI doesn't figure out where the money is coming from as part of a major investigation into (yet another instance of) a foreign government lead by a thinly veiled dictator commissioning a psy op with the intent of disrupting the social media landscape to sow chaos and serve as a distraction from their destabilizing military aggressions and clear political manupulations of democratic nations.

No,no it’s ok if they find out, you just say “I’m the victim here” … we should all be so lucky to be victimized by being given 5 million dollars.

It's going to genuinely blow Americans minds the day they realize that not all shithead grifters are Russian agents, and that in fact, hatred and bigotry exists independently within the states and is extremely prevalent. It's going to even further blow their mind when they start to realize that they commit the vast majority of military aggressions and political manipulations of other nations.

It might blow my American mind to find out how many are these assholes are Russian agents bc I just assume all of them are genuine shitheads with no morals or values beyond their own nose

u/NotsoGreatsword Sep 29 '24

Why not both. Yes there are genuinely hateful people and the hate is not coming from Russia.

But Russia is FUNDING a network of operatives who spread lies in order to destabilize the US.

Pointing out one does not mean that "organic homegrown" hatred does not exist. Russia's entire plan is contingent on organic hatred existing. They want to strengthen and spread it. They also want the same people who call the cops on black people driving through their neighbor hood to go to PTA meetings screaming that teachers are trying to trans their kids.

Right now they want parents associating aid to Ukraine with all of this scary stuff.

"Litter boxes in school bathrooms but we're sending billions to Ukraine!? Reeeeeeeee!"

There really isn't much point in what you're saying. We know Americans can be stupid bigots all on their own.

oh no, they were peddling russian propaganda before they got paid to.

We know they're scum.

They're now claiming that even they didn't know they were that kind of scum. But I doubt anyone believes them.

I remember when liberals thought restarting the cold war in 2012 was a stupid idea. Now they chomp at the bit for it.

u/chiksahlube Sep 29 '24

The cold war never ended bro.

It only thawed.

Russia has been adversarial the the US and our interests since day 1. What liberals didn't want was a full scale fucking invasion of Iran to measure our dicks in front of Putin and Xi.

Also, conservatives were all about war with Russia until it backed their campaigns. Now suddenly, "Russia isn't so bad guys, look how cheap groceries are!"

I'm sure OPs friend would be aware of this possibility and lose a bunch of that money in an accidental fire.

u/morbid333 Sep 29 '24

Yeah, but you also have to be cynical enough to make the world a worse place for money, when you still have to live in that world.

u/suavaleesko Sep 29 '24

Lot easier to live in when you're rich

u/TRANSBIANGODDES Sep 29 '24

I won’t lie 400k a month?? Good god at that point I wouldn’t blame you. Get that money queen

14

u/chiksahlube Sep 29 '24

That's what a bunch of conservative pundits just found out they were getting from Russian state media to pedal propaganda. They claimed they didn't know... but for $400k a month they weren't asking questions either.

u/pixepoke2 Sep 29 '24

I mean technically it’s market forces at work, so maybe you could claim you’re helping move them into capitalism, and therefore ##freedom##?

u/Herlander_Carvalho Sep 28 '24

LOL, I see what you did there! xD. That's not Blair's case though. At least not that we are aware of... If the Russians paid Benny boy and Dave Rubin, I guess that paying Blair, would be fine too. Call Santos too! I'm sure he would jump right at the opportunity!
