I’m wondering what our take on this is.

Here’s an example on libsky . It reads as genuinely frustrated. However I’ve seen this same line trotted out by NAFO about Ukraine and how it’s impossible it’s being directed by the US Government, because people have agency (making it Russian propaganda/“shallow analysis”).

I feel like there’s a small point being made, obviously not all groups funded by America/American proxies are incapable of acting alone.

    The whole “agency” thing is a misnomer (if I’m using that word correctly), it’s obvious that people have their own reasons for acting a certain way but america is the only world power with the means and the willingness to ACT and drive events that might’ve erupted independently towards their own gain

      Yeah I think this is the part these libs willfully leave out. It’s not that the CIA or whatever is the ultimate puppet master, but that they’re willing to use events/fund groups to their own gain. This isn’t denying agency, it’s just how the USA operates.
