Why shouldn’t we just dismantle the CIA? Seems like all they do is support fascists and kill brown people.
I’m also amazed that so many LGBT people joined up, it was obvious what would inevitably happen

Wrong agency.
I don't understand this defeatous mentality. If LGBTQ+ employees just quit, who will stand up for their rights? Telling LGBTQ+ people to quit is anti-LGBTQ+ itself!

Bigger picture, why work for the United States government if it’s going to continue to erode and eliminate your rights? Anyone with half a brain could see where the US was and is headed. I never said they should quit, I’m saying they never should have applied

What you're saying is that the ship is sinking but we should stand back and let other people try to save it. The only way for change is to be involved directly.
Archer@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 10d
Nope. I’m saying don’t apply for a job working for the captain of the ship when he is publicly killing people he doesn’t like and doesn’t care if the ship sinks or not

CIA will never support LGBTQIAPoC+ rights.
You're correct, wrong agency, wrong branch.
Now tell a Demagogue to support queer siblings of color.
What's AIPAC?

The article describes the CIA supporting them.

You still have yet to read the article that you are arguing against.
Go be homophobic somewhere else!

Owning the means of their espionage. I don’t know how much more owning it could get?
I don’t think I’m politically illiterate.
What disinformation did I give?
Only you can answer that.
alapakala@quokk.au · 1 pts · 10d
Are you aware what class is, and how conscious society is?
we will not reengage this.
This was more of “are you willing to engage in your policies being criticized, or should I disengage my curiosity”? I don't enjoy questioning those unwilling to reflect.
florencia@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 0 pts · 10d
No to both.
Linking to a thread is not enough. What disinformation did I give?
I think I’ve been engaging in good faith with you. Keeping your curiosity engaged is something only you can answer. I’m pretty curious seeing your replies.

This is gorgeous Florencia🥲, the very first sentence admits operation paperclip was necessary for the US. But it doesn't go farther into describing the anti queer campaigns they committed domestically, and abroad. I did find it amusing Julia Curlee was directly responsible for the OPM leaks.
florencia@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 10d
It is gorgeous. I’m very disappointed on how shitty the Trump admin has behaved.
The article does cover the lavender scare. What other campaigns do you mean?
And I can’t find Curlee anywhere in that Wikipedia article. How is she responsible?
alapakala@quokk.au · 1 pts · 10d
Honesty, you can cover operation «Employment of Homosexuals and Other Sex Perverts in Government» under the lavender scare, so my apologies there.
Timeline. She was employed for direct security before, during, and after the OPM breach. One can conclude she was responsible for the negligence that lead to the breach. Shortly after, we (assume) are both well aware how Putin took care of the vulnerable assets.
florencia@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 10d
She was not employed for direct security. I don’t know how you’re blaming the OPM leak.
alapakala@quokk.au · 1 pts · 10d
florencia@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 10d
So you’re blaming the OPM leak on her coming out?
alapakala@quokk.au · 1 pts · 10d
Absolutely not!
I am saying that while employed, after authoring the guidelines in OPM, the leak occured. If she was assigned a security position before and during the leak, she did a poor job of securing asset deaths. If she wasn't assigned a security role whatsoever, then my point is weightless. It is amusing still.

What's the amusing part?
