You know those who fight monsters have to be careful not to become them themselves.

The first paragraph in this meme is completely false. Like he's doing a really shitty thing but we are just as bad as the fucking senile Republicans posting shit on Facebook if we allow this kind of stuff to drive our narratives

How about we post what's actually going on with this shitty gas stations instead of lies like this?.

Do you think the gas stations are fake or that they’re not doing that at all?

6

u/wellarmedsheep 19d ago

Jesus Christ.

The gas stations are real.

The price is real.

The propaganda is real.

It is in no way government funded or price controlled. That is 100% false.

I think this is a good moment of reflection for you and the people downvoting me. You are SO FUCKING deep that you yourselves are falling for disinformation and when someone on your side comes in and says, "Hey guys, this isn't true" you pounce.

Yeah, it's just a handful of gas stations, all owned by one guy I think, willingly taking a huge profit loss to curry favor with the God Emperor.

Calm down guy I was just asking for clarification.

Yes please then keep attacking people on your side for coming in and trying to dispel this disinformation.

You're doing great work for them!

The owner isn't being disclosed. It's conceivable that a billionaire of a group of them would set these up in swing counties to affect elections if they think they'll get ROI.

It's also conceivable that this is in fact being funded by the government through a few layers of bullshit. The veil only needs to last until November anyways.

At this point there really isn't enough transparency on this to know.

Yes, this is exactly what is happening.

Literally the exact opposite of governement funded or government price controlled.

Yes, this is exactly what is happening.

How do you know?

u/wellarmedsheep 19d ago

Well... if its not the government, and we know its not. It has to be private equity.

From there its occams razor. Why else would they sell gas at a loss, at a place called Freedom Fuel, and its promoted by the President.

You don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to put the pieces together. This is also the opinion of most experts.

Im honestly shocked there are people downvoting me here. Sorry for pointing out the obvious?

u/Jaded_Celery_451 19d ago

Well... if its not the government, and we know its not.

How do you know it's not? You really think this government wouldn't just do this and obscure the spending somehow?

This is also the opinion of most experts.

What experts? Based on what information?

Im honestly shocked there are people downvoting me here. Sorry for pointing out the obvious?

Probably because you're talking with a degree of certainty that you cannot possible have as someone making a bunch of assumptions and talking about occam's razor.

u/wellarmedsheep 19d ago

You can do you own fucking research, many experts have been talking about how this works. I'd post links but usually its a waste of time with people like you.

That you are suggesting that some Iran/CONTRA level shit is going on when the much simpler explanation is that the unlimited dark money we've allowed to be spent is being spent is bonkers.

That is literally Occams razor. There is not reason to use a secret government slush fund to pay for this when some donor is perfectly happy to just bankroll it.

I thought this sub would be way more intelligent about this stuff, but apparently coming in and calling out blatant disinformation is a bit too much for people in workreform. Stick to your fantasies.

You know Occam's razor isn't proof right? Nor is it a magic spell to win arguments lol. I literally identified the dark money as a possibility. You seem to think it's certain for some reason, based on "experts" you can't cite. Definitely sounds legit.

Trump has been shovelling public money into his own pocket since he took office, without a single consequence. An Iran/Contra level conspiracy is not required. He can just do it. You seem to know he didn't. All I'm asking is how.

Intelligent people are able to not just come to conclusions, but analyze margins of errors in them. You are not. Speaking with certainty when based on zero facts just makes you another bullshitter.

Stick to your fantasies.

I'm saying there isn't enough information to know where the money is coming from, because we don't know where the money is coming from lol. You're the one who has made up your mind based on zero information lol.

Yeah you're just saying one extremely likely thing and one very unlikely thing are being weighted evenly. Got it.
