What memes or pieces of media in general you believe are psyops or were pushed out as a psyop, but have no proof of it. (lemmygrad.ml)

Observations I had:

DEATH TO THE MPLA meme

refers to a clip from the 2012 video game Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 in which military leader Jonas Savimbi rallies his troops against the MPLA...

it became a meme 3 years ago, and the whole "meme" is having a screenshot of the clip in the middle of random videos... that's the meme, just having a hidden dude that screams death to the MPLA in random videos.

The Russian sleep experiment, I'm sure most of the people heard of it, basically it was this story of Soviet scientists torturing war prisoners through not making them sleep and using gas on them until they became barely human and were promised freedom if they survived... the story is obviously false and originates from a 2010s creepy pasta post, the story got extremely popularized that it even got made into short films, what makes me believe it's a psyop is that it serves as a counter point to Abu Gharib and Guantanamo Bay, it's also conveniently called "Russian sleep experiment" and not "Soviet sleep experiment", it's a lie protected by "it's actually made in creepy pasta so it's just a horror story not propaganda".

The whole of the CoD series. You can't tell me there isn't a kernel, if not a full-blown root that speaks the truth of the Pentagon's floated and/or codified-for-the-future plans. It's been interactive consent manufacture since they gave up on re-representing long-past conflicts(which was already creepy enough) and started fictionalizing the World Police Empire™.

Definitely. Along with all the other military shooters. I think I once read that the US military actively uses Call of Duty for recruitment (as in, seeks out g*mers directly). It is incredible the lengths this kind of propaganda can go to without raising suspicions, and how much has been built around it.

And how hard the consumers from that propaganda trough will defend it, it's so disgusting and it makes me pine for the simpler days of Quake 3 and UT2k4

A lot of idf members said that killing people in gaza is like call of duty

Battlebit is actively being sponsored by the air force by having limited time usaf uniform cosmetics in the game. It's not hidden.
