It's funny because the article is very much like a limited hangout where they acknowledge that the general understanding of Social Credit in the west is bullshit, and then immediately pivot into Parenti Quote type shit.

What exactly does "limited hangout" mean?

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's the intelligence equivalent of throwing someone under the bus to misdirect from the actual perpetrator. They'll release limited info on an operation (or a totally different operation) to sate people's curiosities while keeping back all the more damning information of the bigger picture. In a way, the recent epstein file releases have been kind of a limited hangout.

Oh! "Hangout" like "hanging the information out"

I always thought it was a "hangout" like "people hanging out together" and that never made any sense.

Little Saint James was a limited hangout because the billionaires all went there to hangout within the limits of the law and Epstein did all the crime /s

Yeah, you're gonna hangout with the boys (FBI) for a limited time (death)

I have a feeling a lot of people use it that way.
