Right but if a government spokesperson says a thing and it's reported on the news wires. Then that could hardly be called deceitful or divisive can it? It's just telling us that a spokesperson said the thing. I don't get what point you're trying to make here. There's a country whose spokespersons are regularly issuing nuclear threats to NATO countries. I agree with your post that it's stupid of them to do that, but I disagree that I'm deceived that it actually happened

Edit - well apparently I can edit but not make any new posts or replies on saidit and my home ip has been blocked at cloudflare. No message or notification for what I might have done wrong. I guess the danger of me presenting wrong-think from outside the administration's bubble is just too high to let me live. Goodbye saidit, you strange bunch, and remember what happens to users of this site who say things the admins disagree with.
