HashtagGirlboss posted:Yeah. But never in any capacity that would suggest he was on the payroll for the CIA. Just as a flunky for BM. He did admit to doing some light police informant work a while back tho, so lmao good anarkiddie no he's definitely an op

lol. well, it's probably fair to say he's such a useful idiot that there's not much meaningful distinction between him and an op

lived in a squat? rode a freight train? got a 00 gauge septum piercing? interned with the state department for a year? describe yourself as a trickster? while you were playing at anarchism I put it into practice by being a police spy

the CIA paid Robert Evans' to register on SA. twice

Evans podcasts are almost all focused on the culture war (four part episode on DeSantis' campaign), supporting NATO (Wagner in Africa) or idealistic anarchism that won't go anywhere outside the audience's bedroom or squat (covering Cop City, etc)

one of the key insights from ghost stories for the end of the world is imo that the edges of spy-world are extremely diffuse at the core, you have the people Actually Employed by intelligence, who go to work at Langley or similar and get their paycheque officially from the agency. one step out from these people, however, you immediately get a process of dilution; these guys might be handling unwitting catspaws, running front organisations where most of the people involved don't know they're a front organisation, as well as running people who are self-conscious informants or agents. sometimes, there is not clear formal link between espionage-world and the front organisation, as is deliberately the case with e.g. the NED, though such organisations are almost certainly deeply penetrated by the CIA, and even if they're not they're working towards the same goals as determined via "legitimate" channels anyway. out from those people again, they will often set up their own organisations and do their own activities using resources from the intelligence front - at this stage, it's not really fair to call them "an op", but they're clearly acting in the agency's objective interests regardless of what they themselves know or suspect. to put it this way: the big US tech companies are 100% shot through with US spies. this is likely not because sergey brin was self-consciously working with or for the CIA all along, but because google has no clear reason to resist such infiltration and a lot of reason to play along (they get big benefits from this arrangement as well - often the Agency will pay their guy's salary - and resisting would take up a lot of resources and alienate the extremely powerful security state if even possible).

HashtagGirlboss posted:There’s no way Evans is actually CIA payroll, he’s just a cringe clout chasing anarkiddie and conflict tourist who earnestly believes that NATO is a force for good in the world but only when Obama or Biden are doing the immiseration. He’s also a really bad researcher unless you like listening to summaries of the one book he read based on the Wikipedia article pretty sure he's on the payroll

Yeah everyone makes good points, I just have a hard time seeing him as smart or important enough to matter in the grand scheme of things to be more than a several layers removed useful idiot, but also I don’t know for sure Bottom line is he definitely sheepdogs energy into a weird worthless anarchist kind of worldview that doesn’t threaten power and somehow draws a line between good intervention and bad intervention and all the while making fat stacks for I heart radio née clear channel Ytlaya posted:"Behind the Bastards" Lmao how did I miss this.

Behind the Bastards, QAA, and Knowledge Fight are all the same thing: good concepts that should be good shows but suck due to bad hosts E: my intro to BtB was the Steven Segal eps with Seanbaby which at least had me find out that the dude I thought was hilarious in junior high is still funny and on the good side of things Whoolighams has issued a correction as of 18:18 on Aug 2, 2023 |
