Whatever happens to USAID, it will apparently “leverage blockchain technology.”…

    Hey, buddy, listen. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it like that. Sorry if I hurt your feelings. I love the CIA. And USAID. Really, I do. Please don’t accuse me of ad hominum [sic], that would break my heart. And evidence? Of course, there’s no evidence. The US is a perfect little angel; everything it does is moral and good. It’s just that big old meanie trump making a mess of things, that’s all. Does that make it better?

      To be honest, not really. Usually when there is a claim it goes, I believe that X is true because of Y reasons. Not what ever this is that you are attempting.

        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.

                    OK, you don’t have the authority to shut things down on awful.systems. But I do! Please enjoy your free trip to the egress.
