Psyop is a big word. Overblown, maybe, but definitely not a psyop. Just because there’s no evidence that they’re getting murdered doesn’t mean what’s happening is ok.
People are more likely just uniformed, like the vast majority of people everywhere. And it’s easy to distrust america when they’re all over the news with their fucked up stuff. And despite all that they’re still above 50% with russia and china not much higher, so… Whatever.
