The CIA has been mocked from all sides for posting a recruitment video which has been accused of being 'full of woke propaganda'.
When you watch the video, it comes off exactly like one of those parody commercials you see on places like 'Saturday Night Live', and in articles on the Babylon Bee satire site, but as funny as it is, this is no joke. What you are about to watch is an actual recruitment video from the world's most-feared intelligence agency, the CIA.
Of course, the part that is not funny about all of this is how radical the agenda of the Left has become, how very anti-American it all is, and with this new video from the CIA we can only assume that the government and the military will soon be enforcing it from coast to coast. The thing about all radical agendas is that they can only be enacted and instituted at the point of a gun, so prepare yourself for that soon-coming day as well. Pretty cool logo, though. Watch video below.
CIA mocked from all sides over new ‘woke’ recruitment video
FROM THE INDEPENDENT UK: The two-minute video, posted on Twitter on 28 April, features a 36-year-old Latina CIA officer who uses words like “intersectional”, “cisgender”, and “millennial.” Critics said the CIA was trying to get “woke” points with its audience and that it was pandering to progressives.
In the video, the officer also uses phrases like “imposter syndrome” and tells the viewers that she had “generalised anxiety disorder” and that she embraced herself “unapologetically” and that she refuses to internalise “misguided patriarchal ideas of what a woman can or should be.” Conservatives have blasted the agency for going overboard with wokeness. The video was part of a series called Humans of CIA on its YouTube channel. The video first appeared on YouTube on 21 March this year.
Many attacked the video for focusing too much on political correctness. The Latina officer uses language that is synonymous with progressive millennials and now Gen Z. Even some progressives and leftists mocked the video out for its messaging. Conservatives called it pandering and leftists said the video co-opted leftist and progressive messages.
At one point the woman says: “I am a woman of colour. I am a mom. I am a cisgender millennial who has been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder.” She adds: “I am intersectional, but my existence is not a box-checking exercise. I did not sneak into the CIA. I earned my way in and I earned my way up the ranks.”
Conservatives had fun taking potshots at the agency. “China & Russia are laughing their asses off watching CIA go full woke,” tweeted Donald Trump Jr.
He said: “Wokeness is the kind of twisted PSYOP a spy agency would invent to destroy a country from the inside out.”
John Nolte of the conservative Breitbart News website said that the video “proves the CIA is hiring and actively looking to recruit the most immodest, narcissistic, grotesquely self-serving people in the world — Woke Millennials.”
The video was made in an effort to increase diversity among its ranks and to recruit more women and persons of colour as undercover agents, analysts and technologists. READ MORE
